Resting State — Yoga Studio and Deep Listening in Bushwick

Resting State is a yoga studio tucked away in a sun drenched Bushwick loft. We believe that practice extends beyond the mat, it lives in how we listen, gather, move, dance, and care for one another. By braiding together skillful teaching, design, and transformative sound, we offer an opportunity to return to yourself, to your resting state.

About

We offer rigorous, skillful teaching in a private Bushwick loft. At the heart of our studio is a state-of-the-art sound system that transforms every class into a fully immersive, sensory experience. Classes are intentionally small so you'll receive personalized attention, every time.

We offer the following class types:

Vinyasa
Expect intelligent, anatomy-forward sequencing at a faster pace, all set to an invigorating playlist.

Rest
Here we slow things down, hold for longer, and end with a deep listening session.

T4T Flow
This class is designed specifically with trans people in mind. Spend an hour in community developing mobility, endurance and strength.

The studio also hosts listening sessions, sound baths and dj sets. Whichever you choose, you'll leave with a more spacious mind, closer to your resting state.

Teachers

Purba Tyagi

Yoga is part of Purba's heritage, and Resting State is her attempt to share it on her own terms. She founded the studio to create a space where rigorous, anatomy-forward teaching meets the sensory depth of a truly immersive environment.

Her teaching draws on a layered understanding of yoga's history, philosophy, and physical architecture. Classes are precise, steadying, and quietly demanding. The intention is always the same — that students, through the linking of breath and body, leave with a more spacious mind than the one they arrived with.

Purba holds 200-hour certifications from YTTP and Sarai Yoga, with additional study under Samara Speller, and in restorative yoga under Cat Meyers and anatomy at Kula Yoga. She holds an advanced certification in yogic philosophy from SOAS, University of London, and teaches the history, philosophy, and ethics of yoga within teacher training programmes.

Niko Mauve

Niko is a multi-disciplinary artist who centers wellness-practices that promote longevity and endurance, for the body and mind. He is passionate about constructing creative Vinyasa sequences accessible for all skill levels.

Yoga has cultivated peace and resilience into Niko's life and now they wish to share it with others.

The Space

Resting State is hosted inside a light-filled loft in Bushwick, a converted industrial space known as The Bakery. You'll practice surrounded by murals, hanging plants, a gorgeous skylight and roof with the experience driven by a 6-point Danley sound system. Plan to stay awhile. There are couches. There is tea.
