| Description |
Laughing Lotus, the studio that first treated New Yorkers to a high-energy and exuberant hybrid of yoga, music and dance, is proud to announce the latest addition to their Flatiron District location, the Dance Hall -- a 70 mat capacity space, one of the largest yoga spaces in the city -- opening July 27th in true Laughing Lotus style.
The Programming: From its genesis, Laughing Lotus, the creation of ’teacher’s teacher’ Dana Flynn, was about empowering and motivating students through a joyful mix of dance movement and eclectic musical inspiration. The Dance Hall will enable Laughing Lotus to expand and improve upon this integral part of its practice by offering a dedicated space for its signature Lotus Flow Style classes. Along with an expanded menu of Laughing Lotus options, starting in September the space will also host the unique, dance-oriented classes of visiting teachers like Anya Porter (with her breakdance-influenced Breakti class) and Sarina Jain (creator of the Bollywood dance-style workout, Masala Bhangra).
The Space: Upon entering the Dance Hall at Laughing Lotus, students are bathed in glorious natural light spilling in from huge windows overlooking the intersection of 19th St + 6th Ave. Students will immediately be drawn to the 38 foot main wall's visual meditation created by celebrated New York graffiti artist CYCLE.
To prep for their ecstatic release, students can visit the ’Glitter Bar’ vanity, where bindis, glitter and temporary hair dye will be available to help yogis channel their inner goddess and adorn themselves pre- or post-practice.
The Celebration: The grand opening of the Dance Hall will take place at Laughing Lotus Studio on July 27th, hosted by Dana Flynn. From 7-8pm, Dana will lead a free hour of Lotus Flow yoga, followed immediately afterward from 8-10pm by what is sure to be a floor-shaking dance party. Laughing Lotus’s new resident DJ, and yoga teacher training graduate, Bryan Black will spin the evening’s unrestrained soundtrack (Bryan will also provide weekly music for Dana Flynn’s 7pm Friday class, beginning this September) and CYCLE will be on-hand to airbrush limited edition Laughing Lotus t-shirts. Henna artists will provide temporary Mehndi tattoos.
You’re invited to help Dana Flynn and Laughing Lotus celebrate spiritual motion, creativity, and life at the opening of the new Dance Hall. Bring your love of music, dance and playful fun for a night of yoga as only Laughing Lotus could do.
