LEVITATE
780 Eighth Avenue (48th St) 212-974-2288
Try to keep your om as you enter this corporate-looking building in midtown above a Staples and across from Bennigens. You need to remain in mediation as you go up the elevator and through the hallway that looks like it never fully finished it's construction. However, as soon as you open the door to Levitate, and walk into the warm and funky environment, you will realize that it's not only chic but also a beautiful and inviting space to practice. The decor looks initially like you are stepping foot into a West Elm catalog, but on closer inspection, you will see that a lot of thought has gone into the design of the space. The floor is dark (grounding color) and made of cork (save the trees). The studios have a horizontal stripe in the middle of the soothing green walls to remind yogis to lift up in practice. Candles are lit along the windowsills and there are beautiful eyepillows for savasana that have words of wisdom sewn into the silk. The owner, Conni, couldn't be a better hostess as she engages you in conversation and gives you a mini-tour of the space. Hang your coat, change comfortably behind the funky red curtains and if you have to go to the bathroom, she'll even lend you slippers since it's in the hallway (don't worry - you don't have to carry a clunky key with you).
