“Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements. Once you understand the grammar of yoga; you can write your poetry of movements.”  As many of you know already, per announcements I've made pre-&-post classes, the time to reset, rejuvenate and recover has come. We are off to Greece to our wonderful retreat with Dina Ivas and spending some time at the Aegean Islands. WE HAVE ONE SPOT REMAINING -- LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT IN ON THIS ESCAPE!
This much needed "time out" is a way for me to come back stronger and better equipped to continue to serve your Yoga needs and do it with a fully charged battery. I hope you understand and honor the space & time I need currently to re-integrate and reboot. How does this affect you? I will not teach starting October 11 through October 26, 2021. During that time, everyone's account will be frozen. So, if you purchased a 30-day subscription or a 2-week package, you will NOT lose any days. For example, if you had 10-days left in your subscription as of Oct. 11th, when I come back to teach on the 26th, you will still have 10-days left in your subscription. You will get what you paid for! I will edit everyone's expiration dates and your subscription will be honored fully. Our automated email system for you to renew and access to our virtual rooms will be up-to-date with the new account details. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. In the coming days I'll start the process of giving you new expiration dates. CONTEST: We have some goodies from the wonderful sponsors at LuLuLemon to give away to subscribers in the coming weeks. We'll have more contests to give varying items away. STAY TUNED!! OUTDOOR CLASSES/IN-PERSON CLASSES etc. Yes, when I get back... we will continue our outdoor sessions. More collaborative classes, rooftops, outdoors and candlelight events. YOGA AT OHHHMMM VIRTUAL SCHEDULE: MONDAY: 10/4/2021

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Stop trying to fix your body. It was never broken.”  In our modern world, when we say yoga, what we often mean is "asana" — the poses for the physical body.
Because of this, mainstream culture and many teachers and students have a distorted view of what yoga means. The trap of thinking of yoga pants as usually only for one type of body, needing a “yoga body” to practice as one that is skinny, toned, tanned, and super flexible. Yoga develops inner awareness by focusing our attention on our body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath, and strength of both mind and body. Yoga is less focused on outward, physical appearance and more focused on teaching how to tap into the body and mind to focus on the present. The focus of your attention is inward, rather than on how the pose looks, or comparing yourself to others. In its true essence, yoga can be an integral part in promoting and developing positive body image and self-esteem. Understanding the benefits of yoga from a mind-body perspective will hopefully keep us returning to the mat, week after week and help keep a positive outlook in our lives. SUMMER IN SEPTEMBER We'll continue outdoor classes as long as the beautiful warm weather continues. Check your inboxes to enroll in our wildly fun park sessions overlooking the amazing NYC skyline.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." -- Maya Angelou  Increased stress, depression and anxiety are the features of a modern lifestyle. We all encounter moments, situations and loads of events that can take us to the edge of our emotional thresholds. Yoga has an effective role in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Thus, it can be used as a complementary remedy. A steady practice can improve the psychological conditions for monitoring and managing stress and negative emotions, increase positive emotions, and help mental balance.
Always remember... you are one yoga class away from resetting and enhancing your mood. And if you can't make it to a class... take a moment in your day to just focus on your breathing, create a space for you to be aware of your inhales and exhales, and maybe strike a pose or two. OUTDOOR YOGA & PILATES Sunday 9/26/2021, we'll have an amazing Pilates/Yoga event in Long Island City. The hour long outdoor class will feature Tanya Mgrdechian and tone you up, lengthen you out and get you primed for a wonderful end to your weekend.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Live for each second without hesitation.”  Yoga helps us find happiness with what we have rather than clinging to an ideal, or constantly searching for something that perhaps is not meant to be. The practice clarifies and sharpens our focus and then we're able to look at what we have, leaving us content with that that can shift the entire focus of your life and lead you towards a more pleasurable day-to-day existence.
It’s easy to waste time focusing on what we don’t have. We say “I want...,” or "I need...," when we are surrounded by an abundance of exactly what we can uplift us. We must understand that sometimes what we ask for, we already have – just in other forms. YOGA AT OHHHMMM VIRTUAL SCHEDULE: MONDAY: 9/6/2021

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ "It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer."  Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word that means "non-violence" and it is the foundation of all yogic philosophy. Defined as not having any desire to harm anyone or anything, either physically or psychologically, including ourselves when moving mindfully on our mat.
It is a process of self-control, self-awareness and awareness of everything that is around you. If you harm someone intentionally, even when it is just in thought, you have lost control of your mind and you are in imbalance with yourself. Violence means moving away from your true nature and practicing ahimsa simply means coming closer to who you really are. As we begin to wind down this Summer, bring to light the practice of non-violence beyond the mat. Take note on how you feel when approaching your asana practice and invite more meaningful movement and process self control and be completely aware of what serves you in the moment as we move into the Fall months. HOT IN-PERSON I'll be in-studio for hot classes at New York Yoga and Yoga Spark (Tribeca location) this week... check out their sites for availability and my weekly sessions. For non-heated in-person, LL Studio (Flatiron location) will host my Friday night classes. OUTDOOR CLASSES Subscribers, stay tuned early in the week for enrollment emails to our stunning outdoor classes in Long Island City.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “You don’t need a new plan for next year. You need a commitment.”  Tapas [one of the Niyamas] comes from the Sanskrit word “Tap” or to burn, and is defined as discipline, or purity. Another study or interpretation is the “burning off” of any obstructions (from what's not needed in the body or hindering thoughts and patterns in our minds) which can stand in the way of our true self, our Yoga or union with the divine.
The practice of Tapas must be sustainable; with a dedicated practice and a commitment to showing up. A decision to practice with complete dedication may be a great way to ignite your inner fire, but unless one has the commitment to oneself, about what we put into our bodies each day, and how we feed our minds, that fire will burn out as quickly as it started. True lasting change happens slowly – a fire must be tended mindfully so that it can continue to burn without becoming too intense. IN-PERSON THIS WEEK New York Yoga is one of Vicyasa's spaces for HOT in-person action. Wednesday's at 4:30 pm and Saturday's at 11:00 am (75 minute flow) are weekly.

NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without.”  Yoga and meditation encourage you to turn your focus inward and to listen to your deeper, more intuitive thoughts. As you gain more insight into your true nature, your values and your goals become much clearer. From such a loving, sacred place within yourself, you can make decisions about what you want, and don’t want, in life. By living such an authentic life you are showing nothing but love for yourself.
Regardless of where you are in your practice, yoga will teach you to appreciate your body and its abilities. It’s common to start yoga and think you should immediately be able to do an inversion or arm balance and when you can’t - we beat ourselves up for it. It doesn’t take long, however, before the essence of yoga grabs you and you become aware of the negative self-talk and find a way to switch it off. The more you turn up and tune in, the easier this gets. The more you come to see your body in a different light and realise that it is truly amazing. We then cherish what we can do, what we can accomplish and not look at ourselves with judgement, but with a love that only comes through when we embrace a practice that is devoted and adoring the self! HOT IN-PERSON THIS WEEK: Victor will be at New York Yoga (Lex. ave & 85th St.) this week Monday at 6:00 pm, Wednesday at 4:30 pm and Saturday at 11:00 am (75 minute). Another two hot classes will take place Sunday the 8th at 9:45 am & 11:15 am at Yoga Spark (Tribeca location). The 11:15 am hour long class at Yoga Spark is a BLACKLIGHT class. LL STUDIO: Formerly known as Laughing Lotus, LL Studio will be the spot for my in-person Friday night power flow classes at 6:00 pm.
