New York: Public Acts of Yoga

I feel a little late to the studio with my new favorite discovery, but here it is: YouTube. I've been poking around more and more lately--especially since the Gossiping Cats video, and there's an abundance of yoga related content. (Plenty of it cribbed from Yoga Journal, natch.)

And it started me thinking about yoga in New York City--I found some really cool stuff that ranges from beautiful to perplexing to hilarious to nutty. A sampling:

Remember the yoga zombies class? The digital proof:


"Elastic Woman in New York City"
A very brave, very flexible woman by the West 4th Street basketball courts.


"Yoga for Peace 2007"
Battery Park City never seemed so bucolic and bohemian.


"Ram in Central Park New York City"
Just another day in the park for this Dharma Mittra disciple

"Soja Music Video"
A cool video showing NYC at its most serenely hip-hop.


"Carolyn in NYC"
Can't embed this one, but think NYU film student meets Martha Graham. Click here.

"Garden in the Shade"
I'm not embedding this one because it's full of copy-protected music. But here's the very neato link for as long as it stays up.

I'm sure these are only a fraction of public NYC acts of yoga. Do you have any clips of your own to share?
