Rooftops are the hill- and mountaintops of the metropolis. Citydwellers climb to a building’s crown above the dense concrete & steel of their nests. There, they find space–horizons, vistas, bird calls, their own breath.

In a flow of warm images and fresh voices, Elevate: Yoga on the Roofs of New York intimately shares the personal experience of urban yogis in their most unique habitat. Barbara Gentile’s camera captures a natural poise in practice amid rich rooftop textures and skyline backdrops. The yogis–young and old and of such diverse origins and stories–speak of the gifts and challenges of their paths and how they bring their practice into the pulse of the city’s life.
Elevate is as much a celebration as a meditation on a current of presence that runs through the city one moment to the next.
