Williamsburg’s newest yoga studio wants to bring out the goddess in you. When Devi Yoga Studio opens Nov. 11, it’ll offer “divine feminine yoga” classes, among others.
Bridget Vizoso, a veteran floral stylist and the creative director at the Williamsburg-based , has been practicing yoga for 18 years, having started at Jivamukti when it was a walk-up studio in the East Village. She recently graduated from Kelly Morris’s program and has now brought Morris over to her new studio for 300-hour teacher trainings. Vizoso hopes the modest digs on Grand Street will be a “sanctuary” where dharma and meditation are incorporated into flowing vinyasa-style classes. “It’s a younger clientele out in Williamsburg,” she said, “and it’s very important that they learn the roots of their practice properly.”
Hour-long classes will be $10 to $20, depending on what you can pay, and longer classes will be $15 to $22. More advanced iyengar classes will be $25.
The “divine feminine yoga” class will be taught by . In 2012, she co-founded the movement in order to teach women to connect with their own “authentic feminine power” and with “the love that’s shared when women come together.” Her classes promise a stronger sense of self-love and a greater sense of self-worth, among other things.
