Like many outdoor exercise classes, Sky High Yoga started during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s still going strong nearly three years later, with tickets sold out weeks in advance.

Each Wednesday morning in the spring and summer, yoga enthusiasts pay $60 each and gather 1,100 feet in the air to do sun salutations and other poses as the sun rises over the Manhattan skyline.

Equinox gyms host Sky High Yoga, and it happens on the observation deck at 30 Hudson Yards, which, at 100 stories high, the developers say is the most elevated sky deck in the Western Hemisphere.
