Yoga Connection Tribeca
For those of you already clued in to the erotics of the schvitz, fulfill your fantasies of achieving that glow yogi style at Yoga Connection in Tribeca. Brought to lower Manhattan by Marilyn Barnett and Sarah Margolis four years ago, this modest sanctuary specializes in Bikram yoga, where all pretzeling is practiced in a room pumped up to a tropical 104 degrees. Georgia Balligian teaches a weekday Bikram class in which she'll convince even the clumsiest beginner that he or she is practicing with great aplomb. Yoga Connection's small space is one the most spic-and-span yoga spots in the city; even the locker rooms, complete with showers, smell herbal-fresh. We didn't think twice before dropping our chins to the clean carpet in preparation for the cobra floor pose.
