Since the day we opened in 2015, we’ve been creating that special place to inspire mindfulness, connect to wellness and build friendships in our neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. We’ve designed our entire yoga studio around you. We promise you’ll understand as soon as you strike that first pose.The misnomer comes from decades of the Western world’s misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the practice of yoga as exercise. Yoga is a spiritual practice and holistic discipline with activities such as meditation, chanting, breathing techniques and relaxation skills that help the spirit, mind and body. The bonus of yoga is physical movement or activity, but this is not the main element or core function. Akin to other spiritual centers like a church, synagogue or mosque, And Yoga Studios and other yoga and meditation only facilities are considered spiritual centers, that will follow New York State Department of Health’s interim guidance for religious services during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
