Last year's efforts to put these together were amazing and the turn outs were just incredible. (Scroll down on this blog for images of the outings from Summer 2017). Bring a friend or ten (beginner friendly Yoga - a great way to introduce a loved one to the practice), comfortable clothes and enjoy the breathtaking scenery as we take advantage of the beautiful weather and take our yoga practice outdoors! Hope to see you... any questions email me or get at me at any of my social media sites or via email here! Love and light, Vic  Vicyasa™ -- last year's turn out during 'Yoga in the Park' hosted by TYR & Lululemon. Same location this year on 6/16 and 6/30. Ohmies, what's good?

The Summer of Vicyasa is winding... and it's time to reflect on these amazing moments. I want to send a special shout out to The Yoga Room, Lululemon, Hunters Point Parks, LIC Landing Coffeed and the hundreds of Yogis that came out this summer to strike a pose outdoors and take-in the sights and sounds of the city during these sessions. We'll be back next Summer for some #YogaEverywhere action.
Check out my Instagram for other shots from these Summer classes. Peace & love, V  Savasana during my Yoga Class July 2017. What's going on 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. Love, Vic  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. You can register at The Yoga Room's web site (workshop section) to secure your spot.

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:
