WPCNR WESTCHESTER EXCELLENTIAL By John F. Bailey. January 14, 2012:
As Andy Rooney might have said if he was into yoga, “Why is it when I go to yoga the exercise areas are always crowded, noisy, and I always have to look at my body in mirrors and think about anything but my inner self?”
Well former Wall Street strategist Irene Sinyavin (left)and Olga Morozova want to talk to serious yoga enthusiasts--men and women-- about their new European style yoga facility, Scarsdale Yoga Studios. It does away with the "competitive distractions" you will experience at existing Westchester yoga venues.
The SYS is going to transform yoga in Westchester, creating “a true sanctuary for adults" to “explore and nurture themselves."
The two founders of SYS,Irene and Olga, two living testimonies to the focus, vision and physical benefits of yoga, will be at their Scarsdale railroad plaza Office,(on the corner of the plaza, as you drive in), this week to tell you about their new facility that will be Westchester’s most spacious, effective and relaxing yoga experience for members only.
If you’re shopping in Scarsdale or out and about this week, Irene and Olga will be at their Office Kiosk at the Scarsdale train station shopping plaza to talk to serious or beginning yoga enthusiasts beginning all day Monday through Friday, 7 AM. To 8 P.M. all the way up to opening month when they open: February.
Ms. Sinyavin, a devotee of the upper levels of yoga as it is practiced in Europe, recognized the need for a Westchester “best-of-the-best” yoga spa while visiting her friend Olga in Bronxville several years ago. She conducted surveys and determined there would be the upscale market in the county that would support such a facility.
At the station level kiosk information office.
“I wanted to do my yoga, but found, there was not a facility that offered the experience I was used to, “ Ms.Sinyavin told WPCNR this week, taking yours truly on a tour of the SYS facility taking shape on the third floor of the Scarsdale Depot Plaza building. She and her friend Olga, who has seen and experienced first-hand some of the most wonderful and beautiful places to relax, unwind, and practice yoga, collaborated with Irene’s husband, Igor (above) who is supervising the construction to design.
Of such experiences are great ideas born. The result of Ms. Sinyavin’s identifying a need is the Scarsdale Yoga Studios in the final stages of construction. Ms. Sinyavin says the project is personally financed.
Ms. Sinayavin tells WPCNR the studio will offer two windowed studios in spacious airy “rookery”overlooking the Bronx River and downtown Scarsdale: a normal studio and a specially heated “hot yoga” studio (shown above under construction this week) where committed yoga enthusiasts can perform in 90-degree plus temperatures. There will be a juice bar; posh stone tiled dressing rooms, stone-inlayed showers, waterfalls in a facility soundproofed to prevent the rude intrusions of the outside environment.

The studio will be open early in the morning and well into the evening for commuting men and women wishing to get in touch with their inner balance before or after the work day. Valet parking will be included in the annual membership fee, and drop-in classes will be offered for non-members. The amenities of the interior will include waterfalls, soundproofing, a barefoot environment, secure locker facilities, and no mirrors, since as Irena says, mirrors only distract you from experiencing the inward direction yoga is meant to help you find.
Drop on by Monday through Friday at the office kiosk to meet Irena and Olga and discuss how SYS may fit into your life whether you are ready to move to the ultimate level of yoga or seeking yoga for the first time. Director of Yoga Greg Ballard can prepare a program for you. Or you can ask for information and get details about membership by writing info@scarsdaleyogastudios.com
