when you're in the mood for some chakra realignment, the middle of manhattan isn't the first place you think of for a zen-like escape. but with pure yoga opening wednesday, it will likely open some eyes. (third eyes, that is.)
nestled in between high rise apartments and a gray's papaya, this asian sensation import seems at first glance a fish out of water. (it's located on that slightly suspect strip of 86th street). but take a step inside and you'll feel worlds away from the big city bustle. with locations in singapore, hong kong and taipei, this first US branch of pure yoga aims to please mind, body and spirit. the minimalist space plays with a cream and red palette, with wood accents and soothing track lighting. it's open and airy, so you can breathe easy (even while contorting). and it's all feng shui approved. a large selection of classes (literally hundreds per week) draw from ashtanga, yin, anusara and vinyasa yoga styles. pull up a mat or take a private session and move through the levels of technique, practice and evolution. sound a little low-key for your upbeat lifestyle? bollywood fusion and hip-hop will satisfy your cardio crave.
think of it as positively enlightening.
