Need It Now: SLT Yoga Debuts in New York

Need It Now: SLT Yoga Debuts in New York

It’s a conundrum for any time-crunched exercise enthusiast: You’ve always admired the physique acquired by über-yogis but are loath to suffer in meditative silence in the name of fitness when you could listen to Top 40s music and take a vigorous run instead. So, how to spend your precious one-hour time allotment of burning serious calories when getting seriously long and lean is the goal? Enter SLT Yoga, the stretch-and-burn spin-off of the culty Pilates hybrid, SLT, or Strengthen, Lengthen, Tone—except the T now stands for tunes. This revitalized (and loud) yoga practice involves an athletic flow through a dynamic Vinyasa series while smart, perfectly edited playlists drive up your energy and drown out the stresses of the day.

The vision of Erin Jacques, SLT Yoga cofounder and former national director of yoga at Exhale Spa, and Amanda Freeman, this pedigreed brand of yoga is poised to take New York’s workout scene by storm; the regular SLT classes already boast a list of devotees that includes Kyra Sedgwick, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Dylan Lauren. “We hope to do to yoga what SLT does to Pilates,” explains Freeman. “I feel like we’re all such perfectionists,” continues Jacques. “Why not step out of your regular day and go to a place where you can just rock it out?”
