Meet the NYC yogi who legally has to live in his St. Marks studio
NY Post
This yogi has taken “nama-stay at home” seriously.
While most people don’t dream of sleeping at the office or welcoming strangers and celebrities into their houses daily, Alex Schatzberg does — because he legally has to.
The longtime East Villager signed a rare live-work lease in 2017, which requires that he run a business out of the space to allow him to call it home.
So, New Vibe Yoga studio, on the top floor of the 1833 townhouse at 9 St. Marks Place, is where he does headstands during the day and lays his head at night.
“Honestly, it’s a dream to live here,” the 37-year-old told The Post of the space, which also serves as a boutique and art gallery along with daily yoga class offerings — often frequented by the likes of Alan Cumming.
It might seem strange that Schatzberg enjoys living where he works, but you’ll probably change your mind once you ascend the wooden spiral staircase to unit 4 — which is exactly what he wants you to do.
When it comes to investing, Jill Silverstein’s got it in the bag.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
