If you like sitar soundtracking your yoga practice, steer clear of SLT. But if you like downward-dogging to Fun. and Sky Ferreira, Zen�or a noisy version of it anyway�awaits in midtown. Founded by Erin Jacques, a former yoga director at Exhale Spas, SLT stands for �strengthen, lengthen, tunes� and is part of the Pilates studio with the same name. In her Flow classes (from $15), those tunes are occasionally so loud it’s easy to pretend you didn’t hear her ask for twenty more crunches. Her cardio-based Shred classes tread even farther from traditional yoga by incorporating plyometrics, hand weights, and glider discs. Still, don’t expect a chilled-out dance zone: The only thing Jacques likes better than party-rocking is making her students do planks (you’ll thank her later).
