Naked Yoga NYC

From Naked in New York posted by Abigail Ekue on Saturday, April 9, 2011:

Naked Yoga NYC

Founded in 2007 by Isis Phoenix, Naked Yoga NYC is the first co-ed nude yoga offered in New York City. I attended a class during its first month. The class had a [...]

Yoga Studies, Class 2

Tonight it was asana first. We focused on Surya Namaskar and Chandra Namaskar and discussed Yoga Nidra and guidelines for a personal practice. I got a little confused when making my notes on Chandra Namaskar. The written sequence doesn’t seem to flow right as if there’s a transition and a breath missing between the [...]

Yoga Studies, Class 1

This evening I joined five yoginis in the first ever Yoga Studies Class at the Sri Yoga Center. We began with some chanting and introductions then briefly discussed the syllabus and the goals of the class. Much of the class will center around The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Swami Vishnudevananda’s Five Points of [...]

Yoga Studies

I had been sitting on the fence ever since Sri Yoga Center announced their Yoga Studies Program. It looked like a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and practice of yoga but I had doubts about whether I could devote the time or rationalize the cost. I went back and forth for weeks.

Naked Yoga

In the March 2011 issue of The Bulletin, I found an article about a the creation of a nude Hatha Yoga class in New Jersey. It doesn’t say whether or not the class was mixed gender but I get the impression it was since with was attended by members or Sky Farm and Rock [...]

For their 4th Anniversary celebration last month, Sri Yoga Center instructors Melissa D. and Brooke taught a Family Yoga class gear toward Moms with young kids. This got such a good response that Sri made it a regular class. This past Saturday was the first regularly scheduled Family Yoga class and I brought my [...]

A Day of Yoga

Sunday was definitely a yoga day, having spent the whole day at my favorite yoga studio. I started with a gentle yoga class at 8:30 in the morning, a great way to start the day. After that was the yoga sangha where we discussed the first two Yoga Sutras and did a bit of [...]

Time Warp Yoga

I do yoga so that I can stay flexible enough to kick my own arse if necessary. Betsy Cañas Garmon

I must have become entangled in a time warp this evening. I left for my yoga class a little after 6:30 convinced that I was running late. When I arrived at the studio, the [...]

Yoga New Years Eve

New Years Eve Satsanga at Sri Yoga

I brought in the new year and the new decade a bit differently than usual. Instead of sitting in front of the television and waiting to see the ball drop in Time’s Square, I attended the New Years Eve Satsanga at the Sri Yoga Center. The [...]

Chakras

“The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.” ~ B.K.S. Iyengar

This is just very basic information taken from my Chakra Cleansing Workshop notes. There’s much more to it but this is a good place to start.

Muladhara (Root) Chakra — Element: earth, Bija mantra: [...]
