FREQUENCY Breathwork

Join us for a transformative breathwork journey to support your emotional and mental wellbeing. Breathwork allows you to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness, consciously. In this liminal space the breath allows you to release stuck and suppressed negative emotions and trauma in the body to make space for healing to occur. Through breathwork you can touch feelings of deep self-love, bliss and unity consciousness. Tears, laughter and unexpected feelings and emotions often surface as we move through layers of conscious and unconscious programming, patterns, stories and behaviors. The breathwork activations help you connect with your intuition (higher self), your creativity (divine purpose) and break free of addictions, traumas and limiting beliefs. Please bring your own eye masks (optional) 10% off for all SOUK members

FAQ

  • What is SOUK?

  • Where does the name SOUK come from?

    SOUK is a word with Middle Eastern origins. It is a place where people put aside their differences to exchange goods and information. In Sanskrit (the language of yoga), sukh is referred to as a place centered in joy & ease of being. SOUK is a space of exchange where one feels welcome and inspired. 

  • Where is SOUK Yoga Studio located?

    SOUK is located at 12 West 27 Street, 2nd Floor (between Broadway & 6th Avenue) in the heart of the Flatiron/NoMad neighborhood in NYC. This area is often referred to as the “Sweat Corridor” due to the multitude of boutique fitness studios. 

  • What yoga classes can I attend at Souk?

  • Why should I practice yoga?

    The list of yoga’s therapeutic benefits is long – from improving posture, to boosting energy levels, to decreasing stress and anxiety. The Self-confidence one gains from practicing yoga will permeate all aspects of your life. 

    Yoga means to join, to feel connected rather than dis-connected. Connected to one’s body so as to feel its potential – strength, resilience, flexibility and vitality.

  • Why should I practice in-person, in a studio?

    Nothing compares to a room full of practitioners moving together rhythmically, meeting their edge on the mat and co-creating in-the-moment an IRL vibe. The power of a collective practice inevitably lingers long after the yoga class. Moreover, you can experience hands-on assists through the power of touch. 

    But… If you are unable to make it in-person, many classes at SOUK are live-streamed via Zoom so we can certainly beam you in!

  • What if I’m new to yoga?

    New is awesome. Start where you are is the best life advice! As one great teacher (Shunryu Suzuki) wrote once: “If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything, it is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few. ” 

    We recommend SOUK Align & Flow and SOUK Flow classes.

  • What yoga methods are taught at SOUK?

    We host an incredible group of teachers from around the world representing the most significant lineages of Yoga – Jivamukti Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga as well as Vinyasa classes taught by seasoned teachers from Manhattan studios who closed their doors during the pandemic (The Shala, Laughing Lotus)

    lululemon & manduka mats are provided with every class.

  • Do you play music in class?

    Most classes at SOUK incorporate music. Our studio features a club level sound system installed by Eleven Audio Design, which will rock your world! 

    The music our teachers play in class never compromises the teacher’s voice or instructions but is meant to enhance your experience. Rather than “elevator” or background music, you will hear tunes from a wide range of bands and artists – electronic, rock and roll, indie, pop, hip hop, and devotional music.

  • Do you have showers?

    YES! You will love our amenities. The changing rooms for women and men are equipped with showers.

  • What is a dharma drop?

    A dharma drop is a quote or a teaching that inspires and uplifts. It is shared within the context of a yoga class, a meditation session, a lecture, or a social media post. We added the word drop because like a drop of water, it can quench our thirst. A dharma drop is a drop of wisdom that has the potential to carry you throughout your day.

  • What is Jivamukti Yoga?

    Jivamukti Yoga™ is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings. The Jivamukti method was created by Sharon Gannon and David life and is grounded in the original meaning of the Sanskrit word asana as “seat, connection” – relationship to the earth. 

  • What can I expect from a Jivamukti Yoga class?

    In a Jivamukti yoga class, postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic yoga philosophy, a little bit of chanting and great tunes. You can expect increased vitality and greater clarity in all modes of self-expression.

  • What is an ICP?

    An In-Class Private™ (ICP) may be the best yoga class you’ve ever taken. During a regular class, a certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher individually assists you throughout, refining and adding depth to your practice. In their skillful hands, you are comfortably guided through every movement of the class experience. Whether you are a practitioner looking to clarify alignment of asanas in your own body or a teacher interested in learning adjustments, in an ICP the teacher capably offers hands-on assists & modifications to further the student’s experience of themselves in Yoga.

The class is led through with both Sanskrit and English counts to mark off the timing of vinyasa movements and breath. Expect to sweat and be challenged by the pace and progression of postures. Familiarity with Vinyasa or other Flow Styles of yoga is helpful in this class.

  • What is Iyengar Yoga?

    Iyengar Yoga™ is named after and developed by B. K. S. Iyengar. The practice focuses on alignment and detailed instructions. In Iyengar classes, props such as belts, blocks, bolsters and blankets are highly encouraged. They are tools that help us understand how our body can relate to a posture as well as make challenging postures more accessible.
