“To become conscious and aware, we must become authentic. Authenticity is the highest form of being.”  Over the next couple of weeks, we're going to rev up the schedule, featuring loads of teachers on the Vicyasa™ platform. As we approach our one-year anniversary, we'll provide tons of offerings to suit all your mind/body needs. Oh, and ... YES! We have an expanded hot in-person schedule. More virtual classes into your inbox, increased opportunities to practice hot vinyasa... we got you! Lets welcome back to the schedule Erin Giordano and Karen Hyland. Both are ready to hold space, inject joy and rev up your day with skillful and masterful sequencing into their respective HITT workout and Yoga classes.  It is with heavy grief we acknowledge the news of Sebastian Morel-Ferreira and his passing on Feb. 18, 2021. A messenger of joy, unity and love, Sebastian was a pillar of the Long Island City community, delivering feel good fitness classes, inspiring and uplifting many through his contagious smile and incredibly inviting disposition.
Sebastian is survived by his husband, Ryan Steinman, their son, Máximo, his parents Rosa Ferreira and Ricardo Morel, brothers Diego and Christian Morel-Ferreira, and nephews Joaquin Morel-Orué and Justin Steinman. Sebastian and Ryan welcomed their son Máximo into the world in 2019. We would love for you to share fond memories, stories, pictures, or videos of Sebastian, so that Máximo will have a collection of emails to learn more about his amazing papá as he gets older: maximomorelsteinman@gmail.com. One of Sebastian’s dreams for Máximo was that he knows and travels to his homeland of Paraguay and is fluent in his native language. Please consider making a contribution to Máximo in memory of Sebastian HERE. Sebastian and Ryan frequently practiced with us in many of our hot classes, and his dedication to health, mindfulness and bringing people together was the very definition of YOGA. We will miss you dearly, friend!

"Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn."  As we enter March, we are sparked with awakenings, glowing hopes for a new season and turning the page on another chapter of life.
Thank you to all that have reached out during our move, as we begin to close our transition into our new home. We'll come back to having a deeper schedule with our amazing teachers in the coming weeks. THIS WEEK, we are honored to have Tanya Mgrdechian back on schedule for her core-strengthening and flexibility facilitating mat Pilates class. Stay tuned to more in-person sessions and getting back to our expansive virtual schedule. The entire staff at Vicyasa™ thank you for the fierce support. In turn we'll continue to evolve and make this the best platform for all your mind body needs.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.”  The start of the year is a great way to turn the page and start anew with beginnings and endeavours. That is one of the many teachings of yoga; when we step onto the mat, there is only now and what can we learn about ourselves in the moment and how do we align to the moment?
We open the heart in yoga to embrace the moment, show courage moving forward and energize to flow towards our goals. With twists, we rinse out the old, creating space and when we invert, turning the world upside down, giving us a new perspective and a new angle of sight. 2020 showed us how to adapt and those that have -- by not clinging to what was and mired in the rut of wishing for the past -- tapped into strength that was always there and just needed a lil' igniting. Over the next few weeks, bear with me as I begin my move to my new home and officially settle into a new place by March 1st. We will strive to maintain a full schedule and continue in-person sessions as I settle into a new home. Moving in the middle of a pandemic is not ideal, but anything in the middle of a pandemic has become adaptable due to the power of yoga. The entire Vicyasa™ team thanks you for the support. All the teachers that have contributed to this platform are amazing professionals that are dedicated to creating a fun and safe space for you to practice and achieve your highest level of mind/body joy. We'll continue to have AM and PM sessions. Our growing roster of teachers will be highlighted and our weekend offerings will continue to evolve. Hot in-person opportunities will continue, with weeknight offerings in the future coming. Friday night, Saturday and Sundays we'll have sweaty sessions for subscribers.

VICTOR: "It changes a lot... but it has to be Warrior 2 right now. It's an assertive pose with loads of power, but it's also grounding. Love how you can find loads of balance in this pose... and not just physically." Q: What is your least favorite pose right now/why? VICTOR: "Shoulderstand. Just don't like it. Plain and simple. HA!" Q: What lessons from the yoga mat have you applied off your mat? VICTOR: "Impermanence! Learning about the preciousness of the moment and appreciating what is." Q: Do you have a guilty pleasure/binged watch anything etc., during quarantine? VICTOR: "'The Mandalorian', revising 'LOST' [again], & listening to any old comedy albums Richard Pryor, anything with Patrice O'Neal." Q: What is your post-class meal craving? VICTOR "Van Leeuwen ice cream; chocolate fudge brownie. Shit is crack!" Check out the other Teacher Feature's with the rest of the Vicyasa™ platform crew:
"Not everyone is gonna dance like you, act like you, battle like you, so stop hating on people who aren’t you. Embrace different tastes. Encourage courage.”  Have you met our roster of teachers?
