One of New York City's premier yoga hot spots, Sonic Yoga is a locally owned studio offering a friendly atmosphere in a creative and open-hearted community.

Located in the heart of Hell's Kitchen, it has been welcoming students since 2001 and is one of NYC's top rated yoga studios.

The best part about this little gem is it's easy to find, and there are a few perks for the dedicated yogi, including a dedicated bathroom, an elevator, and cubbies to store your belongings after class.

The studio has two main rooms (one for the acrobatics, the other for restorative yin) with plenty of seating and space to stretch out. It's also home to some of the city's finest teachers, who offer a wide range of classes to suit all abilities and goals.

Sonic Yoga's newest addition is the "Skylight Room," an elegant, bright and airy studio overlooking the skyline. It features state-of-the-art studio and office space, as well as an energizing array of meditation and yoga equipment and accessories.

It has a hefty membership fee, but it is well worth the cost for its upscale amenities and stellar service. If you are looking for a serious challenge, try out the studio's signature "Clubhouse" program.
