Classes run 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Why it's good: Simplicity and serenity is the mantra for this bathroom, which was designed by Nathalie Lamont -- the same visionary behind the bathrooms at Le Nordik Spa in Chelsea. Multiple mirrors create an airy feel, while low-flow taps and toilets keep it eco-friendly and a marble countertop brings rugged character. Plus, a floor-to-ceiling mirror lets you check out your revitalized yoga bod.

Accessibility: No stairs, but the stalls are all standard size.

Tip: With the latest Somerset Street construction, OCTranspo's No. 2 Bayshore bus is now routed directly past this new studio. Jump off on Armstrong to visit PranaShanti's sparkling new facilities."
