Ours is a traditionally taught Mysore Style Program in the heart of New York City’s Soho neighborhood. The program is led by Michael Guiou, a Level 2 Authorized teacher by KPJAYI, in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. The studio includes large windows overlooking Broadway, beautiful hard wood floors, and mat storage space. We are easily accessible by public transportation. Whether you are new to the Ashtanga system of yoga, a long time practitioner looking for a practice home, or a traveling ashtangi stopping over in NYC, we are happy to welcome you to our focused and joyful practice group.
Traveling ashtangis and practitioners seeking a new home are welcome to show up unannounced. Drop in class is $25 and cash is preferred.

Starting A Practice

The Ashtanga system of yoga is special in that it teaches you a practice you can do anywhere, with or without a teacher. Each student builds a relationship with their teacher over time, crafting a practice that is individual from a tried and true sequence of postures and breathing techniques. Beginning a practice can seem daunting at the best of times - it’s a very real commitment on the student’s end.

Use our special 2 Week Unlimited Intro for newcomers to the ashtanga practice. Please make a commitment to practice at least three times per week to begin your ashtanga journey. It is only over a period of time that you will see how the practice progresses and grows, so we do not offer drop ins for first timers. On your first day you’ll be given a private lesson within the group setting, you can ask any questions you have, and we’ll build from there. Please arrive between 7 - 8:45am on your first day and expect to be in the studio for about an hour. If you would like more information, feel free to contact Michael.
