While true that Hoboken boasts several gourmet health food stores and numerous yoga studios, New York City is the ultimate destination for finding healthy foods and taking care of yourself.
For example, a chain of stores called the Whole Foods Market are located near Union Square, Columbus Circle and in Chelsea. These stores provide a wide variety of organic products. Whole Foods Market resembles Hoboken's new Garden of Eden store, but is bigger, therefore providing a greater variety of baked goods and other healthy essentials.
In addition to healthy foods, the Chelsea Whole Foods Market has a separate store next door, Whole Body at Whole Foods Market, devoted to non-food items. The Whole Body store stocks vitamins and supplements. Exercise DVDs of all kinds, including yoga, tai chi and weight training can be found there. Whole Body carries yoga mats as well as organic, scented pads to clean yoga mats. This location stocks a wide range of essential oils, incense and organic health and beauty products that are difficult to find elsewhere.
I recently came across a website for Yoga Mandali in SoHo. This place sounds very interesting, offering many types of yoga classes. Yoga Mandali specializes in a form of tantric yoga known as Anusara, focusing on self-awareness. Classes can include yoga with essential oils, which is not something normally incorporated into a class. Introductory classes are also available, with discounts given to students. Occasional workshops and events such as the recent Sex and Heart Series, teaching Tantric principles and techniques, at the very least would make for interesting conversation. Someday, if you're bored with your current workout and looking for something new, give Yoga Mandali a try.
