Kula Yoga Project Announces Newly Expanded Space
Tribeca Yoga Studio Celebrates 3rd Anniversary with a Glorious Renovation
Manhattan, NY (PRWEB) May 31, 2005 -- Kula Yoga Project, a freestyle vinyasa
studio based in downtown Manhattan, today celebrates its 3rd year anniversary
with a newly renovated and deliciously inviting space. Nestled in a 4th floor
walkup, Kula Yoga is a true Tribeca gem, offering a cozy, unpretentious venue
for the city’s yogis. The teaching is inspired by founder and director Schuyler
Grant’s marriage of Astanga flow with Iyengar precision, creating a practice she
calls Freestyle Vinyasa - sweaty, intelligent and ecstatic.
Kula means
'intentional community' in Sanskrit. Schuyler grew up on a small commune in
rural Northern California, and after 10 years in New York she wanted to find a
way to blend the best of both worlds: An urban center that celebrates a strong
yoga practice and a true sense of community. Three years later, that vision has
manifested more successfully than she ever could have hoped. “We have formed a
diverse and dedicated crew at Kula that truely treat the studio as home,” said
founder Schuyler Grant. “In this era of big business yoga, we aimed to create an
environment that offered an organically grown practice. At 28 Warren Street we
don’t serve McYoga.”
There is a real is a litmus test for aspiring
Kulis. You must first find the unmarked door behind the African music stand, and
then climb 3 steep flights of stairs. What lies ahead, however, is a warm,
inviting space filled with rich color, inspiring works from local artists, and
of course, a good schvitz. The newly expanded studio includes a lounge area,
changing rooms and an even larger space to deepen your practice. Kula’s
teachers, calling most of the students by first name, are dedicated to fostering
the intentional community that is the Kula.
Kula also offers escapes
from the concrete jungle. Schuyler and fellow Kuli Alison Novi lead intensive
retreats, from the Catskills to Costa Rica, to deepen their practice of yoga and
pleasure. Details on these retreats, as well as class information and schedules,
can be found on the website at www.kulayoga.com.
