To all the yogis that showed up on Sunday ... THANK YOU! All of you are the reason why Sunday is such a fun-day in Brooklyn. We'll continue our series of vinyasa classes every Sunday this weekend, in association with Down to Earth Markets & Makara Studio, as part of our joint effort to bring wellness to Cooper Park. The market features tastings, seasonal fruits and vegetables, pantry staples, plants and other great items, will be open from 11:00AM to 4:00PM. Here's a Google Maps LINK for directions. The Yoga class will begin at noon. Bring your own mats, towels, water bottles -- friends & family -- and make sure to wear comfortable clothing. Try to get there 10-15-minutes prior to sign-up, as we'll meet in front of the farmers' market stand, or join the group of yogis with their mats rolled out inside the park. Remember, these classes are donation based, and will be weekly on Sundays (weather permitting) through September 28. Check out my schedule page for any and all info regarding where and when I'll be teaching. Peace out, homies! -Vic

See you at the park, Vic Check out Makara Studio's web-site for an awesome Q&A I had with them. I'm featured as the teacher of the month for July. Why did I start teaching? Who are my influences? When's your first yoga event? WHAT?!
Check it out here: http://makarastudio.com/about FYI: The Sunday Yoga at the park begins at noon, not 4 PM. Rooftop yoga on a pleasant Summer evening ... there's nothing like it. I had the pleasure of leading a class last night on the friendly confines of my rooftop in Astoria. A special thank you to the participants, as they were my sounding board for new sequences I'm working on, transitions and flows that will be unveiled in upcoming classes.

Remember, these classes are donation based, and will be weekly on Sundays (weather permitting) through September 28. See you there, Vic On Tuesday night, the vibe and energy at Earth Yoga was just REAL! I had the pleasure of leading a power hot vinyasa class that just kept me buzzing days later. There is nothing like seeing a community of asana practitioners cultivating high levels of awareness, smiling and taking themselves to their limits with great recognition and profound focus. Was it hot? Yup. Was it sweaty? Absolutely. Did any of that take these yogis away from their "atha," their NOW? Nope. With every inhale and ensuing exhale, I felt the power of breathing and absorbed their intensity. Earth yogis… as I told you after class, there's no other place I would rather have been than there with you. Thank you. Namaste, Vic What's up everyone? We made it through the tough Winter, unpredictable Spring, and are now settling into more pleasant weather as the Summer approaches. With that comes an opportunity to get your asana practice on … OUTDOORS! Yes -- Yoga in the park season is in full-swing!
