The 5th Line, a studio for Gyrotonic, Pilates, Yoga, and the Alexander Technique, has opened in a cute storefront on Sterling Place, just east of Seventh Avenue, in the space last occupied by religious workshop Center of Light.

According to the studio's website, it has a "nurturing, no-pressure and congenial environment that cultivates health, physical intelligence and spiritual fulfillment through the philosophical and scientific wisdom of mind-body practices." The owner, Janine Flasschoen, opened her first studio in Kansas City in 2006.

Private sessions range from $85-100, but for the time being there's a special introductory offer: three private lessons for $100, and one month's unlimited classes for $99.
