"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."  Six teachers on the schedule this week... YAASSSSS! Our platform has undergone a huge transformation in 10 months. When I first started this on March 18, I scheduled 10-14 classes by myself weekly, and developed this easy to use dependable system of delivery, in my unwavering effort to grow our community. YOU RESPONDED!
How did I respond? We now have 20+ offerings weekly, had loads of outdoor offerings in parks, rooftops, backyards, collaborations with 10+ teachers and currently offer varying disciplines, the same reliable system, a full rosters of NYC's top instructors and have created by far the largest independent teacher platform in the tri-state area. I want to thank all the members who have been on this ride since March and the hundreds who have adopted our Yoga at OHHHM virtual studio for all your mind/body needs. I'm proud to say that we have now over 10,000 classes attended by all of our members. This week, Becca Pace will make her debut with her amazing bodyArt™ signature class. The sixty minute class fuses elements of Yoga, strength building, cardio and classical breathing techniques. Karen Hyland is bringing the intensity in her fun BARRE FIT and will do double duty delivering her liberating flow Yoga style. Tanya Mgrdechian will blast your core and glutes in her joyous mat pilates class. Josh Mathew-Meier is a messenger of mindfulness and his Yoga classes present equal parts vigor and sweetness. Erin Giordano's high intensity interval training class gets the heart-pumping, the body sweating and the muscles pulsing. Catch all of them this week, as we continue to create what is the best virtual-studio space, with a dependable schedule and top notch service to complement your life's needs. Guess what?

 As we continue to expand the best online platform for all your mind/body needs, I'm proud to announce the addition of Becca Pace to the team.
Becca's amazing energy, zeal for all things health and incredibly lively and fun classes are well known in NYC, Daily Burn 365 Network and all over the world, as the former theater performer has turned into one of the most supportive fitness professionals with her thorough cuing and empowering classes. As a founding instructor of DailyBurn's 365 LIVE streaming workouts, with over 5+ years of online workouts, she developed a signature style that blends mobility, fluidity, strength, and FUN into all of her current virtual classes. She will be teaching bodyART™ next Thursday December 17, at 6:00pm. About bodyART Original: bodyART™ by Robert Steinbacher is a holistic, functional, mindbody training system combining strength, cardio, flexibility and classical breathing techniques. Based on the principles of Yin and Yang and the 5 elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, bodyART™ training blends a dynamic link between active and passive movement, allowing a greater sense of balance in the body. Many of the movements in bodyART™ are inspired by yoga, pilates, Tai Chi, martial arts, and tribal dance creating a synergy of physical training and mental relaxation. Classes are designed to meet the needs of each individual by offering multiple levels of difficulty for each exercise in this challenging barefoot workout. All levels welcome! Let's go on a movement journey together! Check out Becca's official site HERE. Follow her on Instagram HERE (@beccapace). Becca is super-excited to bring her offerings to this platform! Love and light, Victor “If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.”  As the weather gets colder and we begin to store away for the Winter and more time in stricter quarantine, we should become more introspective of our bodies & notice when the mental body imposes movements that may be 'right or wrong' or 'safe or unsafe' and go back to being curious, but still building trust. Allow your yoga practice to become an act of love -- build intimacy with your own breaths, pause to allow the poses to sink instead of "flowing" in and out of them haphazardly and allow the stillness to settle. You know you are embodying the practice if the mind is content and you are connecting to the 'now.'
Yoga is a wonderful invitation to turn inward, and gives us the tools to discover our inner wisdom. It is way more powerful, infinitely stronger to hold poses, practice with discipline, align yourself and become more aware of how we are moving, rather than thinking "fast" = power or that multiple chaturangas with poor alignment, or moving without awareness equates to a strong practice. It doesn't. And it shows in how we move and how we think we are moving. Commit to keep growing and learning about yourself... not repeating the same thing over and over and over. As we awaken... we get stronger. When we are stronger, we can hold space for ourselves and others. #NAMASTE HOT IN-PERSON Thank you to all who have participated, engaged in our safe sessions and continue to cultivate and maintain a healthy environment for us to practice in a HEATED room. Subscribers get first dibs... first come first serve. NEW CLASS: YOGA SCULPT For those looking for a fitness base yoga class with interval training, sculpt with Karen Hyland should be on your to-do list. Hand weights are optional, and you'll get a cardio awakening in this up-tempo class. SCHEDULING Thanks to all who filled out the survey sent in recent weeks. The data collected was important in creating future scheduling and programming on the network. By a wide margin, subscribers have indicated that 7am classes are tops, while mid-morning slotting isn't desirable or likely to be attended. And we have seen that in the attendance. Moving forward, we will play with earlier starting times (i.e., 6:30am this week) and steering away from slotting that have not been well attended. As we get more subscribers and this network grows, we'll revisit adding more classes throughout the day. Please support our teachers by attending everyone's class and know that our efforts to create a functional schedule will be priority, but we also need consistency and the reason we create a schedule is so we can ALL have accountability, a sense of structure and normalcy during these days of volatility. Our platform has consistently increased our offerings, more than what STUDIOS across NYC are giving. And we have monthly given you loads of opportunities to practice at many time slots. We will continue to do so, and with your continued support, we hope to eventually have more classes and more teachers. REFERRALS Refer someone and you'll get a $5 discount on your next class package.

VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- Victor@YogawithVictor.com The team thanks you all for the support! NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”  Mindfulness is like a flashlight; shining awareness at all things in your life, including sensations, emotions and thoughts as they develop and fade away in the ever-changing human experience of body and mind.
Mindfulness allows you to see all the things that have contributed to your advancement. When we are mindful, we are aware... and when we are aware we can identify and express gratitude for all our sensations, emotions and thoughts without judgement. Swami Satchidananda once said, "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf!" This is balance. And we are grateful for the path we have to find balance and stand proud when we can bask in the glory of balance. THIS WEEK... Subscribers get first dibs on HOT In-Person sessions. Thank you to everyone who has participated in these fun events and have followed the strict policies and regulations to keep these offerings safe and on-going. It's been cathartic to get back into the hot-room, blast the music and guide students through some heated action. FOUR of our amazing teachers will be on schedule this week: Tanya Mgrdechian, Erin Giordano, Karen Hyland and Josh Mathew-Meier. Pilates, Yoga, HIIT/Tone Fitness Classes, BARRE and more!

VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- Victor@YogawithVictor.com The team thanks you all for the support! NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™  In our on-going evolution of the platform, we'll be adding a "Yoga Sculpt" class starting next week with Karen Hyland.
Yoga Sculpt is an all levels vinyasa practice combined with light weights and resistance training. High intensity cardio bursts to get your blood flowing and invigorated are featured in the class. Expect to breathe, move, flow, and build strength in this hour long session that leaves no muscle untouched! (Don't worry if you don't have weights -- Plenty of options for those without equipment) Our first YOGA Sculpt class will be Tuesday, December 1st at 12:00 pm. Josh Mathew-Meier is back this week for TWO hour long yoga sessions on our fast-growing platform. In part two of this 'Teacher Feature' we learn a lil' more about Josh... check it out below:  QUESTION: What are challenging poses for you? What pose are you looking to advance in?
JOSH: "Handstand is my favorite challenge, and I'm absolutely looking to advance my ability to sustain it." Q: How would you describe your classes? JOSH: "My classes are designed to create a space where students find the accessibility to face both the physical and mental challenges presented in a movement-based practice, while simultaneously providing opportunity to find calm and grace in the moment where it's hardest to discover." Q: What have you missed the most from quarantine lockdown? JOSH: "IN-PERSON TEACHING. I've found teaching to a screen is so difficult in that the shared energy of the moment is hard to access. That, and movie theatres. I really miss the movies." Q: Have you picked up hobbies/interests during lockdown? JOSH: "I am learning Spanish via an app! I've also been doing a lot more reading than previously, and am on-track to complete 30 books for the 2020 calendar year." Q: Do you like working out at night, or during the day? Time you like to practice? JOSH: "I find personally that I'm better served by getting physical in the morning hours. I'm usually on my bike for no less than 30/no more than 75 minutes every day by 8:30a, to be followed by a strength-training workout or an hour of asana (alternated daily) every day except Saturday - that's my always rest day, my sacred day of nothingness." Q: Standing one-legged poses or arm balances? Why? JOSH: "BOTH! Although, admittedly, balance is notoriously tough for me because of my genetic hindrance of flat feet. They both are exceedingly challenging in how they require the body to work, but even moreso, in the presence of mind required to not only execute but sustain the experience." Follow Josh on INSTAGRAM: (@yoga_jamm) and check out his web site HERE! For part-one of his interview, click HERE! “Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.”  We celebrate gratitude everytime we step onto the mat -- we revel in life! Thanksgiving is a great day to acknowledge and be grateful, but embodying everyday the attitude of gratitude is the work of a yogi.
Through all the madness that has been 2020, we have the power of community and the development and cultivation of our practice. I'm grateful for having all of you in my life. I am grateful that Dina, Karen, Tanya, Erin & Josh are a strong support team. I'm grateful that we all have found glimpses of hope and have been unwavering in our determination to get through the volatility of this year with pride and poise. On this Thanksgiving... let's give thanks to what we have today, not look back at what was once. The calm that is our Yoga will reflect who we are beyond the anger, fear or grief. Many blessings to the yoga community. May we all grow together! THANKSGIVING We are taking a "day off" to disconnect and reconnect on Thursday. We hope you understand & honor the importance of that and we'll see you the next day with some post-holiday fun action! BARRE & SCULPT CLASSES No props are mandatory for these classes! Join in on the sweaty fun and complement your yoga practice by working different muscle groups in a varying way to tone, lengthen and strengthen your entire body. Our instructors for these disciplines are highly motivating and skillful at making these workouts fun, precise & safe for all! Beginners are welcome!

VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- Victor@YogawithVictor.com The team thanks you all for the support! NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™  Erin Giordano is back this week for two classes; Wednesday at 6pm & Saturday morning at 9am. Her classes are sweat-inducing, work the entire body and her enthusiastic and energetic personality keeps you inspired throughout the 45-minute session!
FYI: Beginners to HIIT or any fitness classes are welcome! PROPS are not required, but hand weights and objects like blocks can be used to intensify, align and keep you working! Get to know Erin with part two of her 'Teacher Feature'... QUESTION: What are challenging poses for you? What pose are you looking to advance in? ERIN: "Probably would have to say Side Crow right now. I can get in it, but I find it super challenging to maintain for more than a couple of breaths." Q: How would you describe your classes? ERIN: "Challenging, but very inclusive. My goal is to make people sweat, feel the burn, and work hard, but also walk away feeling supported, energized, and accomplished!" Q: What have you missed the most from quarantine lockdown? ERIN: "I think what I've missed the most during quarantine is twofold: being in rehearsals with my dance company, having that physical human connection, and preparing for performances; and teaching fitness classes in real time with clients who made that hour a priority of their day, where we get to feed off the positive energy and hard work in the room (thank goodness for the online community!!!)" Q: Have you picked up hobbies/interests during lockdown? ERIN: "Oh my gosh, is it sad that cleaning has been a consistent 'interest' of mine during quarantine? Haha but for real, some new hobbies have been cooking, biking around New York, and dabbling in sudoku puzzles." Q: Do you like working out at night, or during the day? Time you like to practice? ERIN: "I love starting the day out with a solid workout! I'm not typically an 'early morning person' but I find that I feel so much more energized, grounded, and ready to tackle the day afterwards. An evening yoga practice can be such an awesome way to unwind at the end of the day. I love breathing deeply and stretching it out before bed." Q: Standing one-legged poses or arm balances? Why? ERIN: "LOVE standing one-legged poses - reminiscent of my dancing days! Also requires a lot of abdominal engagement and support to maintain balance on one leg, which is something I appreciate." Follow Erin on Instagram at @eringio and if you want to read part-one of the interview, click HERE! Love and light, Victor C. “It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.” Adaptation. Change. We have embraced it at Yoga with Victor. It started with all you powerful yogis who have steadily embraced transformation and have practiced on and beyond their mat non-attachment; from coping, to living and now... striving since March. Ups and downs. Laughter and crying. The highs in emotions and the lows of gloom. We've learned that 'non-attachment' [Aparigraha] is vital to moving forward; enlightening us to take only what we need, keep only what serves us in the moment, and to let go when the time is right. There are loads of NEW on our platform and embracing change has led us to add more great teachers, diversifying the schedule and creating more paths for you to let go of the old, and take on the new world.  This week we welcome the uplifting Josh Mathew-Meier. We get back to grinding & strengthening with Tanya Mgrdechian. Flow forward with the steady & inspiring presence of Karen Hyland. Get invigorated and empowered with Erin Giordano. And learn about our infinite potential with Dina Ivas. Guess what? We have another teacher coming soon!

VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- Victor@YogawithVictor.com The team thanks you all for the support! NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™  In our efforts to make this the best platform for all your mind/body needs, we are proud to announce the addition of Josh Mathew-Meier (Instagram: @yoga_jamm) to the squad.
A long time colleague, Josh's unquestioned work ethic, dedication to being a perpetual student and skillful approach to instructing elevates the platform and fortifies the team of teachers. At a young age, Josh always had an interest in movement as a form of expression. He went on to get his BFA in Musical Theatre and when he arrived in NYC in 2005, he started his yoga journey. His classes "[create] a safe, healthy environment for the exploration and play of dynamic asana... weaving the depths of ancient philosophy with the demands of modern life, allowing for a yogic approach to any situation the every day might present." Let's get to know Josh in this week's 'Teacher Feature' QUESTION: What is your favorite yoga pose/why? JOSH: "My favorite yoga pose is headstand, mostly just because I love being inverted, but also because of the strength and focus required in finding a moment of quietude when my entire world is literally flipped upside down." Q: What is your least favorite pose right now/why? JOSH: "I find it hard to qualify a "least" favorite because I'm always seeking how to challenge myself to not judge the moment, but rather live in the pose with a sense of how it serves me, and in turn, how I serve it. With all that said, I rarely practice shoulder-stand outside of an Iyengar practice." Q: What lessons from the yoga mat have you applied off your mat? JOSH: "Ahimsa (non-violence) and Samtosha (contentment) I find to be the most applicable, in that I try and see every person as a reflection of myself, and that this moment is all I've got. Being kind to everyone I come in contact with and every experience I'm presented helps me find grace in my movements through the world." Q: Do you have a guilty pleasure/binged watch anything etc., during quarantine? JOSH: "I took a week in March and watched the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe chronologically from the first Iron Man to Avengers: Endgame. I also can sit down with Bob's Burgers and Schitt's Creek for hours on end." Q: What is your post-class meal craving? JOSH: "I keep a pretty structured diet, and generally coming out of class I want something light and nutritious. My always-craving is chocolate, in any form it's presented. I can't get enough!!"
