Welcome to CRACK YOGA!

My name is James McCracken and I am a Yoga and
Movement Educator based in NYC | E-RYT 500

CRACK YOGA is for anyone who has a body and wants to move & breathe in it. Whether you’re seeking strength, fluidity, precise and clean alignment in group classes, or just need someone to hold space for you so you can have a moment of peace— I can help you.

Yoga is more than just ‘movement,’ but movement is the best gateway into that state of totally blissed out cosmic consciousness, or release and levity, that can be attained through Yoga.

  • I encourage you to be curious.

  • I encourage you to be sensitive to the sensations experienced while the body is in motion.

  • I encourage you to be your freest self.


Move and Breathe with me.

Winter is here, NYC! Real feel: 18 degrees?! There are many methods one can use to meditate. Focus on the breath, pay attention to the space between inhalation and exhalation, gaze at a candle flame, just to name a few. My favorite suggestion Patanj
