Bikram Yoga NYC Upper East Side
Description
The fourth location of Bikram Yoga NYC is also the first eco-friendly yoga studio in Manhattan, with a sustainable low-wattage heating system, non-toxic paint and bamboo flooring and seating to make your practice healthy for you and the planet. The class focuses on compression and breathing through the stomach, hips, back and spine; mixed with the intense heat, the class becomes very cardiovascular. After ninety minutes of twisting and compressing, you are dripping wet like a wrung towel. The fancy Upper East Side center has two spacious studios with mirrors and windows lining the walls. The changing rooms, equipped with complimentary lockers and showers, are modeled like a luxurious spa. Although a single class is a little steep ($20), you can get your money's worth with the unlimited monthly pass for $145.
