Breaking Yoga News
- Ammunition for next yoga-sucks-for-weight-loss debate: A new study reports that although a typical yoga class does burn relatively few calories, yogis are more likely to lose weight than non-yogis. This is because they’re more in tune with the social and emotional reasons that they reach for junk food, and thus more able to resist them. Wham pow! Take that spinners!
- Local Deals: Our sources at Jivamukti, say both the uptown and downtown studios are currently offering a special: $175 a month for six months, which includes unlimited classes, a free locker, 10% off boutique items, and 20% off private classes and events. That's still pricey relative to the big gyms, but it comes with a shot at total enlightenment.
- Events: Final Lulu in the Park of summer! Before you head out tonight for debaucherous evening of cocktails and casual sex, swing by Bryant Park for free public yoga. 6:00 P.M. — 7:00 P.M.

Biking all over town and Lulu in the Park
Biked to Bryan Park that evening, with every intention of yoga-ing. INstead I took pictures and schmoozed with the Lulus. But I give myself come strange credit for second hand yoga. Then I biked to Brooklyn, over the Williamsburg bridge, on my rickety bike and then back to the West Village.

Mega Lulu Yoga Tweet Up
New Yorkers! If you're into yoga, and parks, and maybe getting caught in the rain in sexy yoga pants, then tonight is your big night. Lululemon has rallied "the top yoga studios of New York City to bring you a yoga opportunity of a lifetime!" It's "Barefoot in the Park," a two hour mega yoga class, al fresco in Bryant Park. They've had these before, of course, but this one is highly anticipated as it's been endlessly rain delayed, involves more people, and it's also Lulu's first ever Yoga Tweet Up. Deep Yoga culture meets the Twitter phenomenon: Scream! Starts at 6 P.M., runs to 8 P.M. We have only one more thing to say: Ray Kelly, this is your big chance!
