Yoga at OHM Schedule w/ Victor 5/9 - 5/15: Springtime Revival

Springtime is all about cleansing the old and nourishing the new. Sounds a lot like everytime we step on our yoga mat... right?

When we move through our sun salutations, move into our spines with twists and invigorate with our backbends, have a heightened sense of your pranayama to enhance not only the range of your shapes, but bring an awakening and rebirth as we blossom into the Spring season. A powerful & disciplined breathing practice during our pose work lets us cleanse away the winter’s density and begin to lighten up.

Also, our voices and words hold great power. The throat chakra connects to the air element, which brings in a lightness to combat the Winter's heavy qualities. So inviting more affirmations and mantras to bring a connection and confidence into the revival season. Renew your energy with powerful expressions to help set a tone, inspire and get you into a positive rhythm daily. Try chanting for 3 minutes or repeating phrases or mantra to yourself at the start of a movement session, or as you catch yourself in the mirror day-to-day.

Polish your luminous body and mind by revamping not just your yoga poses, but yourself, with innovative practices that renew body, mind, and spirit.

Teacher Feature: Dina Ivas

Dina Ivas NYC Yoga Teacher Meditation Vinyasa
This week's 'Teacher Feature' highlights one New York's most skillful yoga instructors... Dina Ivas (Instagram: @dinaivas).

QUESTION: What is your favorite yoga pose/why?  

Dina Ivas: "Chair. No fuck that! Chair is NO ONE’s favorite pose.  I love arm balances and inversions because they force me to face my fears, and make me feel like a badass."

Q: What is your least favorite pose right now/why?  

Dina: "Ugh, probably anything that requires open hamstrings because mine are tight AF."

Q: What lessons from the yoga mat have you applied off your mat?  

Dina: "Patience!  Though as a raging Aries I still struggle with that A LOT, but yoga truly has helped me accept that some things take time, and most good things are worth waiting for."

Q: Do you have a guilty pleasure/binged watch anything etc., during quarantine?  

Dina: "90 Day Fiancé, and Caribbean Life!"

Q: What is your post-class meal craving?   

Dina: "Wine!"


We'll have more Q&A with Dina in the coming weeks... and guess what? Part two of the 'Teacher Feature' with Karen Hyland. Stay tuned for more news and more teacher additions!!!

Live Yoga Streaming SCHEDULE for the week 5/25/2020-5/31/2020

5/24/2020

“In asana practice we learn to cherish each breath, to cherish every cell in our bodies. The time we spend on the mat is love in action” – Rolf Gates
Victor Cotto Vicyasa Online Streaming Classes Zoom.us Virtual Yoga The Yoga Room Astoria Long Island City Earth Yoga NYC COVID-19 quarantine
It is true that a consistent yoga practice will lead to a healthier body physically by helping to increase flexibility and build stamina.  It will also encourage you to be more mindful about how you treat your body and mind. When you fall in love with another person you honor that person and value their thoughts, feelings and behaviors -- when you yoga, you have self-love! 

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!

MONDAY -- 5/25/2020 (Memorial Day)

VICYASA -- STREAMING ONLINE LIVE CLASSES

3/20/2020

Hello OHHHHMIES...

Due to the recent events, studios suspending classes and closing, I've taken my yoga classes to Zoom.us for LIVE streaming!

I've been offering classes daily (AM sessions and PM offerings), trying to keep a sense of order since the events that have shaped the world we are currently living in. 

As I stated on Instagram
(@CottoVic):

There's nothing routine about the happenings in the world and how are daily rituals have been interrupted, but keeping a regular learning, creative and structured schedule is a must. My online streaming LIVE classes will help us with structure, building forward-moving habits, and creating momentum that will carry you on the days when you feel like you don't have the strength to carry yourself. Following a daily routine can help you establish priorities, limit procrastination, keep track of goals, and even make you healthier. It lowers your reliance on willpower and motivation because, habits are
“action[s] that you take on a repeated basis with little or no required effort or thought."

​Having NO routine or structure is so much more draining mentally, physically, and emotionally than any routine could ever be!


If you haven't become a subscriber to my daily yoga classes, direct message me here, or send me an email at: victor@yogawithvictor.com. 
We have aired glitch free for a few days, have facilitated community during this time of social distancing and have created UNION - to YOGA means to yolk, to come together, to bind... breath, body, mind, something more divine.

Day one... first few sessions have rocked! The 7am EST Vinyasa was kicking. Thanks for showing up “Crew.” Subscribers... schedule will be sent soon! Stay healthy yogis!

What's up, Ohmies?  

Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July. The spirit of Summer in the city continues on Sunday, July 16th at Gantry State Park. Brought to you by The Yoga Room, yours truly will be leading a one-hour vinyasa class beginning at 10:00am. Bring your own mat, a few loved ones and  your appetite for asana. 

Located in Long Island City, overlooking the East River, Gantry State Park is the perfect location to savor the sights of The Big Apple in tree pose and recalibrate your body and mind  in savasana while laying on the pier.  Hope to see you there!

Click HERE for info on how to get to Gantry State Park, accessible by car and just minutes away from Manhattan on the 7-Subway line.

Saying "goodbye" to Prana & "hello" to Athleta

Amy Apgar Sigrid Pichler Victor Cotto Yoga Prana Power Athleta Sportswear Classes Instructors Vinyasa New York City NYC Amy Apgar, Myself & Sigrid Pichler
As of December 31, 2016, Prana Power Yoga closed its doors for good at both the Brooklyn location and its long time New York space in Union Square. Prana was a vital piece to the hot vinyasa yogi community in the Big Apple for many years. With its departure from the scene, many long time practitioners have been left with an empty space in their hearts and scrambling to find a new home to get their asana fix. 

Spearheaded by accupunturist and yoga instructor Deborah Stotzky, and long time client of Prana Barri Budin, the Prana community of teachers will be hosting classes at Athleta on 5th avenue and 18th street. 

The chain retailer, which offers amazing sportswear and accessories, has a lower level studio at their 5th avenue location that will be the home for displaced Prana teachers, clients and all yogis looking to hone their practice with some of the best teachers NYC has to offer.  

There will be a schedule of classes throughout the week at the heated space which offers dressing areas, free props, mats, changing rooms, lockers, bathroom, free filtered water (B.Y.O.Bottle) & music set up. 

The suggested donation is $15 at the door, cash only. Spread the word, bring a friend or two and lets foster a safe and fun home for exploration and practice. Whether you practiced with us at Prana, or not... if you are looking for a new home for your asana practice or just looking to get start the New Year learning more about Yoga, the team put together for these classes would be a perfect gateway for you to get started or advance your practice.   

If you want to learn more about the space, you can check out Athleta's web site here.

On Facebook, Prana at Athleta has set-up a page to keep a tab on scheduling, teaching times and other news as we transition into Athleta and eventually, into another space when that's available. Click here and place like, subscribe and follow us on Facebook.

I'll be teaching classes there weekly and bi-weekly over the next few months. You can keep track of that on my Schedule page here as I update daily where I will be and at what times.

As of today, here are my current dates at that space:
  • Monday -- January 16, 2017 -- 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
  • Wednesday -- January 18, 2017 --  8:00 pm to 9:15 pm 
  • Wednesday -- February 1, 2017 --  8:00 pm to 9:15 pm 
  • Wednesday -- February 15, 2017 --  8:00 pm to 9:15 pm 
  • Wednesday -- March 1, 2017 --  8:00 pm to 9:15 pm 
  • Saturday -- February 18, 2017 --  1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
  • Saturday -- February 25, 2017 --  1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
(More dates to be added that are pending on Monday & Thursday)

Peace & Love,
​Victor Cotto

Picture
On Saturday, March 7th, I'll be hosting a vinyasa foundations workshop at Anthea Yoga & Healing Arts Center. 

Downward-facing dog, plank, chaturanga, upward-facing dog and downward-facing dog... known as a vinyasa. An integral part of most flow classes, used to warm up, press the reset button of the mind and body, while flowing between sequences.

Have you ever been unsure of what you were supposed to be feeling, or why your wrists, shoulders or back ache?

This workshop will break down each of the four main poses – downdog, plank, chaturanga, and updog – and its transitions. Learning modifications to stay off achy wrists and shoulders, and which muscles are vital to strengthen and open to perform the vinyasa safely and effectively will be the aim of the workshop. All levels are welcomed. 

If you pre-register, the fee will be $20.00. The day of the workshop, $25.00. 
Day: Saturday March 7th.
Time: 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Address: 34-01 45th street, Astoria NY 11101.



See you soon,
Vic
