East Yoga finds new home on Avenue B

Fire caused extensive damage to the East Yoga space last November on East 13th Street and Avenue B... since then, East Yoga has offered an abbreviated schedule of classes in a temporary location at ABC Sanctuary on East Sixth Street and free classes in Tompkins Square Park ...

Now they've found a new home upstairs at 96 Avenue B next to Sunny & Annie's.

They opened the space this past Sunday... and they're offering "a yogi-style" reopening party on Saturday, Nov. 2.

The Hare Krishnas were the previous tenant in the two-floor building before moving out in July 2011. The ground floor remains on the market.

East Yoga still planning on finding a permanent East Village home

Fire caused extensive damage to the East Yoga space last November on East 13th Street and Avenue B...

There's now a "for rent" sign on their former space...



We asked Jen, the studio manager at East Yoga, for an update.

"We are definitely planning on finding a new location in the neighborhood, and have been working on that since the fire. We just don't have one yet," she said. "We do, however, have an abbreviated schedule of classes in a temporary location at ABC Sanctuary [on East Sixth Street] on the weekend, and are holding free yoga classes in Tompkins Square Park during the week."

She said that she was hopeful to have some good news about a new space in the coming weeks.
