namaste nyc

this summer a couple friends and i attended the free yoga classes on thursdays in bryant park.  this has been by far one of my favorite summer-in-the-city activities.  it is quite a remarkable feeling to be in the heart of the city, stretch your arms up overhead and have your view surrounded by all of the tall buildings above.  add to that the noise of the sirens, horns, airplanes and swarms of people.  this experience is unlike any other yoga class i have attended or taught.

i can't think of a better way to enjoy this incredible city.

i got into bikram for a little in NYC (cause the month-long pass for unlimited sessions was $25 for the first-timer special) and always said "auf weidersen" instead of namaste cause i didn't know what they were saying ...

anyway - this looks AWESOME!

(and also, we met your friends sean and annie who moved to londy too)

Sounds amazing. I'm sure it is so nice to be able to do that in such a busy city. You are such a city girl :)

Jamie--I bet that was great! Is Bryant Park where we ice skated in the winter? NYC has lots going on, including Lee's trial! Hopefully, he can take you to lunch. ( And I recognized the Warrior pose.)

Agreed! Definitely one of my favorite NYC things I have ever done, I hope they keep the classes going for next Summer too!
