Be Well

The Creators of SKY TING Yoga Built An Oasis In NYC's Chinatown

We spoke to Chloe Kernaghan and Krissy Jones about their new space, animal mascots, and creating a community centered on wellness.

For a lot of people, yoga class can have the exact opposite effect it's supposed to. The space can be intimidating and don't even get me started on all the expert-level people surrounding you. As someone who started practicing yoga only very recently, I've often found myself in the middle of a classroom, wondering if I'm too inflexible to be there. 

Chloe Kernaghan and Krissy Jones, the creators of SKY TING yoga, want us to drop all of our pre-conceived notions of yoga as pretentious or competitive. In their new space, located at 17 Allen Street in New York City's Chinatown, both experts and beginners practice in a space that is inclusive, light, and fun. Designed by minimalist Nick Poe, SKY TING is supposed to make you feel right at home. Now we just have to work on that flexibility thing.
