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.

Passport to Your Core - A Yoga Practice to Guide You into Yourself While
Turning Yourself Upside Down
What is Yoga? If we look at the literal meaning of the Sanskrit word, it means to yoke or
to bring together. Real yoga is about calming the mind with all its fluctuations and agitations.
Most of our suffering and fears as human beings is between our ears, right in the middle of our consciousness. Of course there is also plenty of suffering and pain that we experience in our physical and emotional bodies as well. The poses of yoga are great because they not only lengthen and strengthen the muscles in our body but they offer us key insights into the workings of our minds. The poses reveal what is already there. It is a beautiful mystery how the poses become keys that unlock deep hidden parts of ourselves, parts that we have kept locked way and that we repress. It is the dark areas of our consciousness that have so much to teach us about ourselves. Maya Yoga teaches a way of practicing yoga that is as much about aligning the physical body as it is about learning how to love yourself more everyday. This class will use asana and pranayama to examine the mind body connection more deeply. The focus will be on the group of poses known as Inversions - the upside down poses. Through an intelligent sequence of poses we will practice Handstands at the wall whether you are a pro already or a complete novice. Forearm balance will be done at the wall as well and headstand and shoulderstand will be introduced and shared as well. We will complete the class with the most restful pose, Viparita karani, legs up against the wall. This class will be taught in a supportive
compassionate environment with the focus on the process of yoga and not necessarily on the final pose. All are welcome!

With Faith Comes Courage - A Yoga Practice to Build Confidence and Grace
With Faith Comes Courage - A Yoga Practice to Build Confidence and Grace
Two of the foundational pillars of a consistent yoga practice are Shraddha - Faith , and
Virya - Courage. The only way these can be established is through steady consistent personal practice. What happens on the mat in yoga should actually not stay on the mat but should follow us out the door and into our lives where we need it most. Yoga is a life support system and the poses are transformational tools that can touch us deeply both at a soul level and as a practical means of keeping our bodies fit and healthy. We need yoga in these hectic stressful lives that we lead. This class will be a combination of both active and restorative asana. We will be more active in the first half of the class to open the body and mind and to get the breath flowing and the heart beating and establish Faith in the efficacy of the practice. Nicki will teach an engaged asana class that includes standing poses and hip openers, pranayama, and some backbends and twists. The second half of the class will be more reflective in nature and slower.
Restorative and supported poses will take you from the active side of the practice into the
calming quieting side of yoga. Courage is having the strength to listen and speak from the heart and these softer poses will give you the opportunity to get in touch with what you’re feeling on the inside. Slowly you just may find what you’re looking for.
Begin with breath-led Sun Salutations, move into a invigorating sequence with strength building, body-opening postures and a few twists and turns along the way. Close with a restful shavasana.
You will leave feeling strong, energized and clear, and ready for the progression of your day!

I have visited many places, including yoga studios, both as a student and as a teacher. Each experience has been unique, but this one truly touched my heart. When I arrived at the studio, I was about 6-8 hours early for my event. Given how much I had traveled, I wasn’t sure what to do. At the front desk, a very kind and humble lady greeted me warmly. She noticed my situation and, with genuine care, offered to let me join an earlier session or find a way to accommodate me in their schedule. Her thoughtfulness and effort left a lasting impression on me.
Later that evening, I attended the chanting kirtan (with Radhika Das), where I felt deeply connected with the kind and compassionate souls around me. The energy in the room was incredible, filled with warmth and positivity. It was an experience I’ll never forget, and I left feeling grateful and inspired.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone. It’s not just about the activities they offer—it’s the people and their kindness that make it truly special.

I think I finally have found a place for me. The best yoga classes no doubt. Yoga practice that is not rushed, gives you time to connect to your body but at the same time intense and makes you really move and sweat and release and stretch. Yoga teachers know what they are doing. The whole community they created comes from a giving place.

I absolutely love my classes at Souk! I take Rimas class on Tues & Wed night after work and it is such a nice way to end my day. I always sleep so well :) Rima is such a thoughtful teacher. She takes the time to learn everyone’s name who walks through the door and rly pushes you to be your best yogi self in class. She also plays great music, tells beautiful stories and is very funny :) her and I think it’s Sarah also are very generous with their adjustments and assists which is a dream for any yogi!
I’ve also taken George’s sound baths on Thursdays and it is pure bliss. He has a very warm and calming energy and you feel so welcomed and relaxed before you even get on your mat.
I would definitely recommend Souk to anyone wanting a thoughtful and fulfilling yoga experience in NYC. Thank you for everything Souk!!
