Laughing Lotus Blossoms into a New, Big, Beautiful Space In the Heart of New York City
Laughing Lotus Yoga Center and School announces that they have moved to a bigger, even more warm and vibrant space! Dana Flynn, co-founder and co-director along with Jasmine Tarkeshi comments, "We have been the best-kept Yoga secret in New York City because we were in such a small, neighborhood space but no longer! Come on and get your sweet Asana-* over here!"
(*-Asana, meaning posture, comes from Sanskrit, the ancient language of yogis.)
Dana and Jasmine have a uniquely accessible approach to Yoga. They encourage their students to express themselves fully through their practice by balancing the wisdom of Yoga with the joy of this adventure we call life. The center houses a spirited community of welcoming, friendly, mindful, passionate and powerful people. Their multiplying devotees recently necessitated a move into a bigger and better space here in the Flatiron/Chelsea district of Manhattan at 19th Street and 6th Avenue. The place is wonderfully and whimsically decorated and bursting with good energy and flavor. The colorful walls represent each of the chakras and spiced tea and ginger cookies are offered free of charge. When you walk in from the busy, cold New York City streets you feel calmed and revitalized all at once. The center offers constant Yoga classes and plays host to many exciting workshops and special events. Dana and Jasmine teach at the center frequently, and have hand-assembled a motivated staff of teachers who embody the values of the center.
These two Yoga innovators should not be overlooked; they are creating a new wave of Yoga! Dana is charismatic and her exuberant energy is infectious. She is a Cornell graduate, who in addition to founding and opening Laughing Lotus, has the lifetime experiences of being a high-powered Wall Street stock broker and owning a restaurant in Times Square called Trixie's where she was know as Trixie. Trixie also reported for MTV News. Once she found Yoga she was able to uniquely combine her passion for life, laughter, movement and spirituality in an inspiring manner. Dana has lived and trained in India and with Rodney Yee. Jasmine is equally inspiring in a softer, more devotional sense. Her practice of living Yoga comes through poetically in every movement she makes, chant she sings and word she speaks! Dana represents the strength of Laughter, Jasmine the grace of the Lotus. This well-balanced duo will enliven and recharge you!
Laughing Lotus Yoga Center came to life in 2000 and continues to grow on an exciting and uplifting path! Join us! Our website is viewable online at: www.laughinglotus.com
