Madonna practicing Ashtanga Yoga
Yoga has been taking over exercise routines for the past few years. But more recently Ashtanga Yoga, otherwise known as “power yoga” is stretching to every corner of Manhattan. Celebrities like Parker Posey, Madonna, Sting, and Christy Turlington are fans of this fast paced, intense style. Ashtanga translates to “eight limbs” in Sanskirt, and is more difficult than other forms because of the constant movement from one pose to the next.

Owners of the Eldridge, a popular and ultra-trendy nightclub in the Lower East Side have a new project in mind, and of course, it involves cupcakes. The duo plans to open another lounge on the Lower East Side (smaller and not as exclusive) serving alcohol-laced cupcakes paired with a drink special. To take the dessert obsession even further, the tables will be designed to look like cake stands, and the club will be named “Red Velvet.” The team stresses that they want as many people as possible to share the experience, with no hassle from the bouncers at the door.
