About me: PUNK ROCK YOGA COMES TO NYC!!!
PUNKROCKYOGA is an all-inclusive yoga-meaning we welcome all kinds of people, with no judgements. We relish and love individuality, and encourage total expression in our class. We practice yoga to music-sometimes loud, sometimes not-sometimes live, some dj'd and sometimes just a great playlist or mix cd. The classes are for all levels of experience. And nobody is going to tell you you have to live a certain way to be a yogi. The only thing you'll ever hear in this class is empowerment-encouragement-and a push to get you to be the very best you can be at whatever it is you aspire to! Come and see what we're all about-you won't regret it! Also, a great way to detox after a long crazy weekend.
All classes are Core Strength Vinyasa (TM), a flowing, core-centered style that will shift you faster in one hour than most styles will in 90 minutes. This style is popular for its vigorous, strength-building benefits, and also because it concentrates on quickly becoming strong and agile in the core.
For more information about Sadie Nardini, the teacher who founded Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, please visit www.sadienardini.com-a great website with tons of yoga tips, sequences, and an Ask-the-Teacher feature.
Brian Williams teaches the PUNK ROCK YOGA class every Wednesday night at 6:45pm at Champions Dance Studio--257 W. 39th St between 7th and 8th Avenue on the 14th Floor. For more information about Punk Rock Yoga, check out www.PUNKROCKYOGA.com-this website will tell you everything you need to know about punk rock yoga, including up-to-date scheduling, history, philosophy, and all kinds of great information.
In Brian's classes, you will experience a powerful, core strengthening flow of asanas designed to strengthen, tone, and enliven. The energy that is awakened and flows through your body during your yoga practice is powerful stuff, and you will learn to channel and dedicate it towards the manifestation of your dreams. Brian believes that laughter is a medicine, and encourages everyone to practice yoga with the idea that it is something to be enjoyed, something fun. You will sweat, you will laugh, and you will learn to breathe deeply, chill out, and find the love in every moment of your practice, so you can shine it out to the world. One of Brian's favorite quotes is from the 1950's film Auntie Mame: "Live! Live! Live! Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" Turn your yoga practice into a celebration and learn to savor the joy of living those words as you take your practice off the mat and into your life.
