VINYASA FLOW ON THE ELECTRIC LEMON TERRACE

September · 2024

As the crisp autumn breeze signals the arrival of fall, there’s no better way to mark the changing season than with a rejuvenating Vinyasa flow. On September 22nd at 10am, Equinox Hotel invites you to experience the Autumnal Equinox on the Electric Lemon Terrace, a serene space offering breathtaking views of the Hudson River.

The Autumnal Equinox is a significant moment in the Earth’s cycle, marking the point where day and night are of equal length. As the sun crosses the celestial equator, we are reminded of the importance of reflection and transition. For centuries, cultures around the world have celebrated the equinox as a time to honor the harvest, express gratitude, and prepare for the quieter, introspective energy of the cooler months. It’s a time to reconnect with yourself and embrace the changes that come with the shift from summer’s vibrancy to autumn’s calm.
