National Yoga Month in NYC

Lovers of the healthy life, rejoice! Or at least fold your hands thoughtfully in prayer pose and say "namaste"—National Yoga Month is upon us once again. Now in its sixth year, the event offers free classes across the country every September—more than 2,200 studios are participating this year. If you've never taken yoga classes in NYC before, it's a great opportunity to get a taste of what to expect without having to make a commitment. For established yogis, it's a chance to stray from their regular studio totally gratis. Some studios also accept the Yoga Month Card, which offers an entire week of free yoga at participating studios (find out more at the Yoga Health Foundation site). We've rounded up our top NYM class picks below, and if you're feeling inspired, check out our guide to spiritual events in NYC.
