While in NY and waiting for spring to start the Yoga in Central Park, I love to go around town and experience the amazing variety and quality of Yoga that New York City has to offer. I often use groupon or classpass to find special offers.     
Here are some of my recent favorite studios:

Integral Yoga Institute: it's actually an Ashram in the middle of NYC, they offer a large variety of classes, more Hatha oriented, very high quality, peaceful and serene atmosphere. They also have a regular schedule of events such as Kirtans with great musicians, workshops and trainings. One of my favorite studios!
Yoga Works: I found consistently great teachers, mainly following the Iyengar and Vinyasa approaches but also offering less traditional classes such as Urban Zen and Yoga Tune Up.
They have a full schedule of classes and several locations.
Ashtanga Yoga UWS: small studio big heart! The owner, Zoë Slatoff-Ponté, trained with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois for 10 years, offers Mysore Style Ashtanga classes, and is always in class! Very authentic, no frills, real value yoga studio. Prepare to sweat and to have break through with your practice!
Iyengar Yoga Institute NYC: this studio definitely stands up to its name. Their classes will deepen your practice, offering new ways to approach and postures and to feel their alignment principles. Very interesting, especially if you are a yoga geek like me!
Jivamukti Yoga: this studio has become famous worldwide for the specific style of yoga that its founders Sharon Gannon and David Life developed. They offer classes for every level, mainly following a Vinyasa approach. Excellent Yoga and definitely a unique NY experience!

Ananda Ashram, Monroe, NY
This is my Yoga home.
I fell in love with Yoga and I took my teacher training there.
In addition to the fantastic Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga classes twice a day, to the Sanskrit classes and fire ceremony,  there are always great workshops and live music performances.
It's a Nature sanctuary where you can meet like minded people, find silence and peace in the forest, and eat tasty vegan meal!

Jai Yoga Arts, Brooklyn, NY
I teach here every Tuesdays at 8:30pm when in NYC.
I love this studio because in addition to the excellent Yoga offer, it has become a lovely community of creative, smart, and eco-conscious people.  The hot tea and nice chats after class are really priceless! Jai also offers a Teacher Training Program for anyone seeking to become a teacher, or a stronger practitioner in a familiar and comfortable environment!

3 Weeks for $30 for new students!

Laughing Lotus Yoga Center, Manhattan
Consistently great inspiring yoga, their advance classes are pretty fast and challenging so I wouldn't take them if you are a beginner. They also have events workshops, and teacher trainings. They have a $39 first month offer for new students.

Solstice in Times Square:
Athleta Mind over Madness Yoga 
Anyone can find tranquility on top of a mountain.
Can you find it in the middle of Times Square?
Every Summer Solstice you can Join the challenge!
Attend one or more of the 5 yoga classes throughout the day from 7:30am to 7pm: it will be a unique experience!
A lot of energy and a lot of new different new perspectives: it was great laying down and looking up at the Times Sq. buildings, and at the same time feeling the earth trembling under you for a train passing.
Highly recommended: I do it every year!

Jet Lag Festival
Early Summer.
Within Jet Lag festival there is a camp dedicated to workshops, yoga, healing, live and electronic music, chill out area, hookah lounge, and body painting.
In 2012 I led  a workshop dedicated to the Chakras, their psychological and physical aspects, and how to activate them.
The location in the shade under the trees with birds singing around us was priceless!
