Whether you're new or returning, here are answers to some of the most common questions about our classes, private sessions, and studio experience.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
-
When you enter Samadhi, the stresses of the world are left behind. Akin to a sensory deprivation tank- you immediately feel a sense of calm. Distinct from any other wellness studio in NYC- our room features immersive, dynamic lighting and club quality quadraphonic surround sound. The lighting and audio create a truly unique setting which allows you to more deeply experience the practices we offer- whether you come for yoga, dance, sound, breathwork, guided meditation or a workshop.
-
Somatic means “relating to the body, especially as distinct from the mind”. Any practice that helps you connect with and listen to your body is a somatic practice- including both movement and stillness.
