Alo Yoga's restaurant has just opened in New York City, marking the athletic wear line's first venture into the food and beverage industry. For most consumers, healthy living and yoga is more than a series of activities, it's an entire lifestyle centred around mindful living. Alo Yoga's restaurant, dubbed SUTRA plays into this, serving as a place consumers can go to enjoy fresh foods and well-balanced eats.
The idea is for the restaurant to stand as a place for people to enjoy their post-workout fuel, as it is located on the top floor of Alo’s Flatiron Sanctuary. Currently, the restaurant is open with limited hours and is serving a menu that includes dishes like Zucchini Pasta and Pineapple Adobo Tacos.
