YogaLocal iPhone App Finds Classes For You

- YogaLocal (via yogalocal)
Your five o'clock meeting has cancelled, and now you're standing on an unfamililar corner with a free hour or so. Being clever, you're carring your emergency yoga shorts. There must be a studio nearby, but where? Hello YogaLocal, an iPhone app set to launch this Friday. YogaLocal uses GPS to find the yoga classes closest to you. You get studio info, countdown to class times, and instructor bios. Works anywhere in the city and in the Hamptons. (The Hamptons part had me worried that YogaLocal's definition of the city might begin and end with the UES. But no, it's really all five boroughs.) Also in the genre is Yogoer, which we noted a while back, and which now has its own iPhone app.
Even if you don't have an iPhone, take advantage of the launch of YogaLocal to get in a free yoga classes at the launch party at the Urban Zen Center in the West Village this Friday (711 Greenwich Street). Sadie Nardini teaches at 6:30, and Alex Auder is on at 7:45. Free live music, food, and drinks, too.

Am I misreading the info on the page for the lauch party? It looks like it's not free: "Tickets are $20 in advance, $15 for group tickets of 5 or more, and $30 at the door."

The tickets are not free, twenty bucks. Twenty bucks that pays for open bar, organic pizza, raw chocolate, coconut ice cream, live music from Dr. Israel, Patch, Totter, Sambazon Acai drinks, VitaCoco coconut water, live sand mandala art installation, live photo studio, and a night to hang out in the most gorgeous space in the west village and use their rooftop terrace garden. So, yes, it costs money for all that. The yoga is free :-)
