Awesome
Asana Yoga is an hour-long exercise in body stretching and mind
cleansing taught by registered yoga teacher Chelsea Best. As Chelsea
says, “Awesome Asana offers a unique yogic journey, linking breath with
movement in a meditative Vinyasa Flow class style designed to awaken the
spirit and bring the body and mind back to a place of peace.” The class
is Open Level Vinyasa, and is moderately challenging.
MJM’s Awesome Asana is part of Chelsea’s “Localize Yoga” project, which aims to make yoga affordable and accessible – to present it “as a possibility, rather than as a luxury” – to the denizens of upper Manhattan. The class is $5, and mats, should you need one, are provided.
