Yoga To The People - St Marks Place

Yoga To The People
12 St Marks Place
New York, NY
Price -- DONATION 


I've been to this particular YTTP two times.
The space is nice and roomy with high ceilings and some brick walls and some apartment facing windows.  There is modern day elevator music playing most of the time. 
The yoga is a "POWER VINYASA FLOW" which sounds kind of hardcore but I wouldn't call it hardcore, it is a good strenuous stretch that gets me sweating and makes me want to take my shirt off.

As a beginner, I get a bit confused because sometimes they have you do some of these little flow series on your own at your own time. Since I don't know the flow (its like plank, to upward facing dog, to downward facing dog) or the warrior various pose flows I get a little confused.

I need to get with the flow. Maybe thats one of the goals of this here project.

The crowd is a good mix of people. 50/50 male/female split. seems like a lot of NYU kids.
It's a big room but gets crowded, so I like to get there early.

The teachers seem to know their stuff but do not seem to offer too much individual guidance, probably due to so many people and such turnover.

The mats are kind of dirty but the rest of the facilities are clean.
