New York City

After traveling half way around the planet in 3 days on no less than 3 different airlines with an incomprehensible amount of luggage (think wood yoga blocks from India), I've finally arrived in New York City. I spent half the night helping my friends paint their spare bedroom "soothing lavender" before finally crashing on their spare cot in the kitchen. I was soooo happy to sleep on something that does not resemble airplane seats. After a mere three hours of crash, I'm awake and heading to the New York Yoga Institute for an early morning class with James Murphy. Perhaps there will be an organic tea shop along the way. I'm looking forward to practicing on the rope wall before class and to photographing the yoga space, which is generally considered to be one of the most beautiful.


I have three major tasks here in NYC. The first is to take photos with the most amazing photographer I've ever worked with (www.leonsaperstein.com). Even in my current jetlagged state of being, there will be some outstanding photographs. He is a master.

My second mission is to visit the NY Iyengar Yoga Institute. This is part of my research to design a fully functional and well equipped, easy to clean, beautiful yoga studio.

Lastly my mission is to hear some live music, preferably of the danceable jazz and funk genre. It's Friday night in NYC after all.
