FAQ

  • What is SOUK?

    SOUK is a contemporary yoga studio designed to create connections by coming together in the practice of yoga, storytelling, music and sweat. Our classes are accessible to all levels of practitioners and draw from ancient teachings as they pragmatically relate to the times we live in.

  • Who founded SOUK?

    Rima Rabbath and Monica Jaggi + a team of women who are yoga practitioners but more importantly, also leaders in the fields of finance, brand management, and architecture. 

  • 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 & 6 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 one your life. 

    Yoga means to join, to feel connected rather than dis-connected. 

    • Connected to one’s body 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 livestreamed 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 the Dynamic ALIGNMENT class as well as SOUK and Tone.

  • What kinds of methods do you teach?

    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 studios who closed their doors during the pandemic (The Shala, Laughing Lotus)

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Expect greater understanding of your body in a posture, which will allow you to experience increased confidence and courage. We promise, you will be hooked!
