Up up and away yoga
We’ve all been there—aimlessly scrolling through Instagram during a break at work or some downtime, when something intriguing catches your eye. You stop, you investigate, and suddenly, you’re diving into research, reading up on all the details. Before you know it, you’re sold on an event, and it’s sitting in your cart, ready to be booked.
That’s exactly what happened to me with the “Up, Up, and Away Yoga” event. The venue, the timing, everything just clicked, and I couldn’t resist. Plus, the algorithm showed me a content creator who had done the event and absolutely loved it. She recommended it to everyone, which only made me more excited for my own session at the One World Observatory on March 16, 2024, at 11:30 AM.
Fast forward to the day of the event. I arrived at the One World Observatory much earlier than expected and found myself with time to kill. I decided to explore the area, maybe find a restaurant for after the yoga session. But, in a funny twist, I couldn’t find the place I had in mind. Still, I didn’t want to miss my “Up, Up, and Away Yoga,” so I headed back to the observatory.
When the time came for yoga, I was beyond excited. The view from the top of One World Observatory was breathtaking—I couldn’t imagine how incredible the yoga session would be. As we moved through the poses, the instructor guided us through warrior poses and other classic yoga movements. At the end of the class, she led us in a meditation while singing, her voice full of power and control. What she said at the end of the session stuck with me: something along the lines of “let go and be free.” Those words resonated with me for the entire week.
After yoga, I rushed to get to my lunch reservation at La Pasta, La Pizza at Eataly, but I got lost trying to leave the One World Observatory. Thankfully, some kind security people pointed me in the right direction. I even got to ride the elevator by myself, which was a cool experience. I was starving by the time I reached the restaurant, and the meal did not disappoint. I devoured a Margherita personal pizza with red wine and sparkling water, savoring every bite. I even got a colonnata to go, because after such an amazing day, I was ready to head home.
I highly recommend taking yourself out on a date—whether it’s for an event, lunch, breakfast, or dinner. Whatever your heart desires, treating yourself can be so rewarding. By the end of the day, you’ll feel incredible, and you might already be planning your next adventure. So go out there, treat yourself, and enjoy this beautiful life we have.
