Now Open: Gap's Pure Body Pop-Up And Yoga Studio

Say "tchau" for the summer to Havaianas; GAP has flipped their rotating pop-up shop next their Fifth Avenue flagship into a yoga studio. Designed to show off the new GAP collection of layering essentials and comfort wear, the shop tries to invoke a peaceful calm to combat the stress of the "...economy in the can, April showers lasting through June and subway fare hikes."

It's a super-quick pop-up, only lasting through July 22, but that's because it'll be offering free Saturday yoga classes for the month. Classes are limited to 12 participants, who will be gifted an eco-friendly yoga mat to go along with the complimentary lessons.

We've already got our call in for yoga reservations, but we're wondering how they'll pull off a class, even of only 12 students, in the store space as small as the pop-up. Will shoppers be staring at our butt as we downward dog and sun salutation on Saturday? In any case, sign up like, right now if you're interested: 212-330-8080.
