Upper West Side Yoga and Wellness (Online)

The co-owners of Upper West Side Yoga and Wellness, Stephan W. Kolbert and Ingrid A. Marcroft, are respectively an Upper West Side native and a transplant—as well as spouses, parents and business partners. Together since 1999, they suddenly realized that they really, really loved studying and practicing yoga and were each able to practice it in their own way, according to the needs of their very different bodies but, most importantly, side by side. So, they dove in deeply and did all kinds of awesome trainings, taught publicly and privately, and one day said: 'Hmmm. Should we open a yoga studio in our very own neighborhood?' A dream was born.

They created Upper West Side Yoga and Wellness for two reasons:

• To create a way to live their passion while spending more time together as a family, and
• To serve the community they know, love and live in – a fascinating neighborhood filled with people of all ages, physical types and levels of health, who enrich us with diverse experiences, families, cultures, interests, orientations, religious (or non-religious) backgrounds and socioeconomic milieux.
