Dina Ivas & Victor Cotto hook-up for another night of yoga, awesome tunes and wine! The duo will tag team a yoga class... the theme:

Electric Dreams Edition (...and Dina's Birthday!)

Friday, March, 31st 8:30-9:30pm at Workout Factory in Long Island City (just minutes from Manhattan). 

Calling all you East End boys and West End girls...Dina and Victor are at it again!  They're taking you to back to the 80s, when New Order, Depeche Mode, The Human League, and Erasure were dance-floor fixtures at downtown clubs.  With their smooth swaths of synths and digital-drum machines, these bands' dreamy electronic textures were made to move to.  So, if you're looking for a fun way to spend your Friday night, and Just Can't Get Enough yoga and neon, join the party!  They'll be post class antics including dancing barefoot in your leggings and sipping some special libations.

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,

"In the beginning, God made the sea, but on the 7th day he made me." - Prince Rogers Nelson

Prolific. Regal. Incomparable. Nasty. Charitable. Enigmatic. The recent loss of Prince drove a stake through the hearts of all who love music and celebrating life.

On June 7th, he would've turned just 58, roughly the same number of instruments he shredded. Join myself and Dina Ivas for an all-out night of purple pandemonium as we lament the Artist who bypassed all labels, and truly liberated our bodies and souls.

When: Friday, June 3rd 8:30pm 'til when doves cry

 What: 1-hour of fun, flow-y yoga open to all (beginners welcome!) followed by our favorite purple libation...wine!

DETAILS: Arrive at 8:15pm. Class 8:30pm. Afterparty & Drinks 9:30pm-till.... Please bring your own mat.
YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER. Click HERE for tickets! $40 Per Person (Premium Member Discount Applies)

Last night, there was yoga, dancing and feel good vibes at Workout Factory in Long Island City. House Party 3.0 jumped off with a gang of yogis flowing on and off their mats with classic tracks as the backdrop to a night of asana action. 

Special shout out to my co-host for the evening, Dina Ivas, who made everyone "roar" and delivered another memorable sequence to get everyones appetite primed for post-yoga libations. Big thank you to Giuseppe for the vino and Jim Catapano from Yoga City NYC for covering the event. The biggest hugs and grandest thanks from Dina & myself go to the crew that showed up to get DIRTY with us on their mats. To everyone who came through... MUCH LOVE FROM US, TO YOU!

We got another coming... GLAM ROCK, ANYONE?

Enjoy the images from the evening... PEACE!
