Souk Yoga Studio - New York City

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.

Restorative yoga is a gentle, grounding practice that invites stillness and ease. With the support of props like bolsters and blankets, the body settles into restful shapes, allowing the nervous system to unwind and the mind to soften. There is no effort, only an invitation to let go into support. As layers of tension release, this practice supports clear seeing, a quiet returning to your original nature, beyond the noise of daily life. Whether you're feeling depleted, stressed, or simply seeking balance, restorative yoga offers space to reconnect with the clear, calm, spacious and boundlessly loving presence that always exists within you. Each class ends with a meditative gong bath to guide you to deep states of rest, integration, and inner stillness.
