Introducing Second Side Yoga: A Hidden Sanctuary for Dedicated Practitioners
Second Side Yoga is a unique yoga studio located in the East Village/City Place, tucked away in an unassuming low-slung building with no ostentatious signage. Founded over a decade ago by Jonas, an art director and photographer for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, what started as small yoga sessions at his home quickly grew into a community of like-minded, independent spirits seeking personal and collective growth. With its genuine warmth and 'speakeasy' atmosphere, Second Side Yoga is an elite studio without the pretension. Our philosophy is simple: "How we do anything is how we do everything, " with equal attention and love devoted to both the right and left sides of our bodies, as well as the deeper elements of our lives off the mat.
Our Space: Clean, Honest, and Environmentally Conscious
At Second Side Yoga, we firmly believe that what's inside matters as much as the practice itself. Our studio, nestled in a fully renovated mid-century stacked stone building, embodies our belief in subtle quality, cleanliness, and honesty. Our natural light studio features skylights, operating windows for a refreshing breeze during sweaty practices, and sustainably harvested floating vertical bamboo flooring with anti-bacterial padding underneath. We take pride in our sustainable and eco-friendly approach, with recycled Canadian quartz countertops, marble, and porcelain bath floors and walls, American maple cabinets, and Energy Star LED dimmable lights throughout. Our facilities include a full kitchen with an induction cooktop, convection oven-microwave combo, commercial-grade sink and faucet, and fast-filling reverse osmosis filtered drinking water. We offer high-quality yoga props such as Manduka and Lululemon mats for purchase and rental, high-density Lululemon blocks and rose gold-tipped yoga straps.
