    The World's   Largest Yoga Class was led by world renowned yoga teacher, acclaimed yogi, Elena Brower who has helped sculpt the asanas and bodies of celebrities like Christy Turlington and Naomi Watts.

    Bower is the founder and co-owner of Virayoga, a yoga studio in SoHo. Her classes are usually filled.

    The idea came from one of Bower's students who owns an event company, called Flavorpill. The Largest Yoga Class in The World was documented from a 150-foot crane, providing amazing aerial views of the 10,000 practicing yogis.

    JetBluel provided free yoga mats to all attendees. The event also featured a performance by Buddy Wakefield, Wah!, O'Konsi Rhythms and others.

   The gathering follows a similar stunt in the city’s Times Square, which was held to mark the summer solstice.

    The free annual 'Summer Solstice in Times Square Yoga-thon' attracted thousands of participants and many more who watched the day-long event.
