Rooftop Yoga

An ancient Chinese proverb once said, "The journey is the reward." I can't think of a more rewarding journey than sunset rooftop yoga in New York City with the Laughing Lotus Yoga Studio. The event is held atop the Greenwich House in Greenwich Village as the sun slowly sets on the western horizon. The awe-inspiring lotus goddess aka yoga instructor Alison gracefully weaves exhilarating themes of consciousness with a playful vinyasa flow asana, on a stage before the Tri-State region. From ambulance sirens to voracious jack hammers, the sounds of the city profoundly coalesce into a soundtrack of resplendence. Playful partnered sequences, like handstand into urdva donurasana, rouses the mind, body and spirit, inducing an urban rebirthing of sorts. It was here that I truly understood what being a New Yorker means, from deep-rooted sweetness to copious vitality and resonant wisdom, over and above the hardness and inconveniences associated with the most well-known city in the world.

Roof-top yoga will be held on July 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th and August 6th. Be sure to reserve your spot ahead of time, as these classes sell-out quickly. Check the link below for more details!
