About
Unlike many yoga studios that feel like anonymous fitness centers, Sonic Yoga has a distinct, welcoming community rooted in Hell's Kitchen's theater scene. Founded in 2001, it was rated NYC's #1 studio by Citysearch three years running. The teachers here are artists, musicians, dancers, and actors themselves, so classes have a creative, supportive energy. You'll find everything from intro to ultra advanced sessions, including a popular 5:45 Center class for when you need to take it down a notch.
The studio has welcomed over 15,000 students and trained hundreds of teachers. Owner Lauren Hanna studied with Sri Dharma Mittra and Shiva Rea, and her influence shows in the studio's thoughtful sequencing. The space is airy and inviting, and regulars know that the 5:45 pm slot is a sweet spot for a calmer experience. If you're in the area, Dharma Mittra Yoga is another excellent nearby option for serious practitioners.
