Souk Yoga Studio - New York City

Come join us in call and response chanting (kirtan) of ancient mantras! Mantras are melodic phrases in the ancient language of Sanskrit that allow us to travel beyond the incessant ruminations of our mind and touch a part of ourselves that can only be reached by the sound of our own voices. The self calling out to the SELF and being heard!

Move into advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical. Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.

After Asana Practice & Chanting, allow space for Silence. The Silence needed to reflect, settle doubts, and set intention for the coming of the New Year. All at the studio during this time, 9-12pm, will be asked to observe silence with one another. You are welcome to meditate, journal, read, or just be in the company & energy of others in self-reflection. After midnight, the community will break this silence in celebration of a New Year.

Welcoming practitioners of various fitness & lifestyle routines, this medium intensity class seamlessly transitions you from one posture to the next working & stretching in equal measure arms, legs, hips, glutes, front & back body. Poses in this multi-level class are weaved together in a rhythmic manner through the incorporation of breath at every level of the practice. With no more than 3 postures to a side, the sequences are well balanced so as not to fatigue muscles and overload joints – thus keeping the mind vibrant and continuously aware of its potential. Expect to feel the power of your breath while developing full body strength and stability.
