UNION SQUARE YOGA

We offer a range of activities, programs, events and products which address the physical, mental, emotional and social well-being of our guests and members.

Infused with a wicked NYC spirit and groove, Union Square Yoga has been breathing and kicking since 2006, thanks to Yoga Instructor Danielle Abisaab’s vision and her passion for Yoga. An inviting space for the people, by the people with one common goal: COME TOGETHER

Come together as an individual, a collective, a planet and a creative force.

"The spirit, the self, is above time. The spirit is timeless. Patience is the state of timelessness."--Elizabeth Haich

Family and friends,
Hope this update finds you with peace in your hearts.
This is to announce resuming our activities as of the 5th of May, 2021.

Given the complex pandemic dynamics, we are turning all of our PUBLIC classes into PRIVATE ones.

Only individuals or up to a group of three people (Family, partners, friends, etc...) may now book private sessions for the fixed price of LL300,000 (1, 2 or 3 participants).

Our wish by taking this temporary measure, is finding a middle way to keep you, and us, as safe as possible.

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn.

Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That’s the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You’ll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

✨ Family and friends ✨

Union Square Yoga shall remain closed until the end of May 2021, allowing the storm to subside.

Until we see your beautiful faces again, stay safe, present and keep practicing.

This is a recent Shutterstock photo of Jupiter and Saturn moving closer together in the night sky and appearing as one star on the night of the winter solstice.

The “solstice” or “the standing of the sun” is the exact moment when the sun reaches its southernmost point from the earth’s equator (December), and its most northern point (June).

Tomorrow, on the 21st, we'll experience the shortest day of the year; darkness seems to overtake the light.

We wait to be born again with the birth of the new sun, born into our loving, Christ nature.

Upcoming classes, sessions and circles:

11:00 Morning Sunshine Yoga Flow with Sarah - Monday Reusi Dat Ton with Sukha - Thursday

19:00 Evening Spice Flow Vinyasa with Dani (Sub Layal) - Monday Chakra Dance with Elie - Tuesday Rhythmic Heart Flow with Layal - Wednesday Healing Circle with Shunya - Friday

Chakras are energy centers that interact with both the physical and energetic bodies. Each Chakra has its own unique vibrational frequency and healing potency. In everyday life we often go through negative emotions and thoughts, we also listen to different types of music. All of those affect the frequencies of our chakras, resulting in a significant impact on physical, mental and emotional well being.

The objective here is to reestablish the proper frequencies of your chakras through music and dancing, and so reestablish your inner balance, your inner peace.

1st part: The journey will begin with an activation of the chakras through the bija mantras (LAM-VAM-RAM-YAM-HAM-OM-)

2nd part: “Dancing through frequencies” is a journey of self-discovery. Each chakra is explored through specific music vibrating at a specific frequency, improvised dance, done with your eyes softly closed. This begins to activate inner experiences. It’s almost like entering into a waking dream. You may see images in your mind’s eye while you are dancing or gain insights. You may also experience feelings, emotions or physical sensations.

3rd part: In this part, the objective is to develop a human connection with each other and improve your confidence. Throw yourself into dance, let go and express through movement what your soul is trying to say.

WEEKLY session

Equanimity is a deep and subtle concept frequently misunderstood and easily confused with suppression of feeling, apathy or inexpressiveness. It comes from the Latin word aequus meaning balanced, and animus meaning spirit or internal state.

Our internal balance is jeopardized if we fall into one or the other of the following contrasting reactions:
Suppression – A state of though/feeling arises and we attempt to cope with it by stuffing it down, denying it, tightening around it, etc...
Identification – A state of thought/feeling arises and we fixate it, hold onto it inappropriately, not letting it arise, spread and pass with its natural rhythm.

Between suppression on one side and identification on the other lies a third possibility, the balanced state of non-self-interference…equanimity.

Circus Arts for Teens with Paramaz

Learning Circus Arts has scientifically proven to enhance the mental, emotional and physical states among kids and teens. By creating a sense of self awareness and control it can be a great confidence builder. Basic skills can be learned very quickly and most teens will find that they can do something that they previously thought 'impossible'. Once the 'impossible' has been achieved, they may then have a different outlook on life where suddenly things are much more achievable and within reach. When students can get up and perform successfully for others, joy soars.

Announcing the launch of weekly Circus Arts sessions in a fun and educational way that will help any teen enhance her/his motor-skills, eye hand coordination; while, learning how to juggle and use other props all under the umbrella of safety and fun.
AGE 12 to 16 BEGINNER friendly WEEKLY session every MONDAY & FRIDAY TIME 17:00 to 18:30 PARTICIPANTS 9 per session PRIVATE sessions available REGISTER https://in.app.link/qyz52HsCYab CALL for more information +961 81 862 608
