Located in a quiet part of 4th Avenue in an old loft building, The Three Jewels (threejewels.org) is a small, spiritual treasure in the commercialized world of Yoga. They also offer workshops, free morning meditation and work in the efforts to free Tibet.
They offer classes in Tibetan Heart Yoga, meditation and Conquering Lion Vinyasa, which I took. There is also a small store which offers t-shirts, books and prayer beads, among other things and classes are paid by donation by an honor system. If you can't afford the $12, then pay what you wish. I feel funny not paying full price, so I did.
The class was led by Annie and consisted of only six people. I loved not only the vigorous, mind and muscle building poses, but the "om-ing" and the caring attention to the integrity of our individual practices.
Even though I will try other classes in other places, I know already that I will return to Three Jewels.
