SKY TING was created for anyone looking for tools and techniques to handle life more gracefully and see the magic in a long life lived. We offer a practice that refines our ability to stay connected, be well-adjusted, develop greater consciousness, discover radiance, use life to our own advantage, and ultimately experience more JOY! SKY TING YOGA is medley of lineages. All styles of yoga have something different to offer, and cross-pollinating yogic material allows us to create a method wholly new and unique, yet refined with rich substance and history. Our teachers are encouraged to blend the yoga material they practice, identify most with, and believe in, rather than sticking to the prescribed, generic curriculum. This ideology creates a passionate, responsive and nurturing learning experience for our students. Our goal is to make the practice safe and approachable for anyone, while keeping the magic of yoga alive. (212) 203-5786 INFO@SKYTINGYOGA.COM @SKYTINGYOGA

Could not have asked for a better group of teachers or classmates. A near-perfect 200HR TT that includes a mix of teachings from multiple lineages and guest lecturers. There's a lot of content and history to cover in this practice, so this feels like a great jumping off point for deeper study into whichever aspects of yoga call to you.

Wow! I am so grateful that I did teacher training at Sky Ting. The curriculum is wide-ranging, challenging, and consistently fascinating. The teachers are generous, invested, so knowledgeable, and fun. In terms of an investment in the self, it's hard for me to think of something more valuable. If you're looking for a yoga community, interested in deepening your practice, or even faintly considering becoming a teacher, look into Sky Ting TT. The most rich and full ten weeks! Thank you, Ting <3

200HR TT is a transformative and intensive learning experience, with experienced teachers and mentors from different yoga backgrounds. You'll get back as much as you put in - there is so much to learn and practice. Loved the opportunity to connect with the Sky Ting community, make new connections and take so many classes at the studio. The course educates on all yoga lineages but focuses mostly on Hatha Vinyasa, Katonah and Iyengar. Recommend for any life stage as a way to deepen your practice or build confidence teaching and learning a new skill!

Wonderful trip, start to finish. Francesca and Lulu brought expertise and authenticity to their teaching and leading of this group. They were fantastic hosts and navigated the varied personalities, interests, and experience levels of the group members beautifully - they also handled unexpected circumstances (such as a bout with food poisoning!) brilliantly. i would definitely do another SkyTing retreat with them if given the opportunity - they clearly care deeply for one another and for their students.
By Mary M for Tulum with Francesca and Lulu on Mar 11, 2024
Another amazing retreat! Pocna was a lovely resort, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The yoga was exactly what my mind, body, and spirit needed. Lulu and Francesca were *chef's kiss*! The only thing that would make these trips better would be included transportation from the airport to the hotel.
