Discover the Ultimate Yoga Experience at New York Yoga
About New York Yoga
Founded in 2001, New York Yoga was the first yoga studio to grace Manhattan’s Upper East Side, offering a sanctuary where all forms of yoga are accessible to everyone. As a multi-disciplinary studio, vinyasa is the featured style, complemented by various other yoga practices to cater to all levels and preferences. The philosophy emphasizes spiritual growth without aligning with any specific religion, providing a holistic approach to yoga.
New York Yoga boasts over 100 classes and specialty workshops each week, ensuring that everyone can find a class that fits their schedule and level. The studio’s vinyasa flow style incorporates elements from Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Viniyoga practices. Classes typically flow through five stages: warm-up (sun salutations), standing poses, balancing poses, seated poses, and cool-down poses (inversions and savasana). This structure allows for the inclusion of various postures, such as backbends, twists, and binds, while also integrating pranayama, drishti, meditation, and yoga philosophy into the practice. Readings, Sanskrit chants, and music are used to enhance the experience, fostering personal transformation and spiritual development. The instructors at New York Yoga come from diverse backgrounds, all tracing their lineage to the father of modern yoga, Krishnamacharya.
Benefits of Hot Yoga
Hot Yoga at New York Yoga offers numerous benefits:
- Strengthening, Cleansing, and Removal of Toxins: Practicing in a heated and humidified room increases the intensity of the workout, leading to stronger bodies and enhanced detoxification.
- Improved Heart Health and Organ Performance: Regular practice in a heated environment helps the body acclimate to high temperatures, improving cardiovascular health and organ function.
- Increased Flexibility: The heat softens muscle tissue, allowing for deeper stretches. However, caution is advised to avoid overstretching ligaments and tendons.
