 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.

 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:
