“The vision was having a place to do yoga that didn’t feel corporate or overly spiritual.”

Krissy Jones’s Sky Ting has been New York’s yoga studio of choice for It Girls since it opened in Chinatown in 2015. Her clients have ranged from singer Phoebe Bridgers to former Vogue editors such as Sally Singer and Carine Roitfeld. After buying out the two partners who helped start it, Jones, 35, is opening a new location, her first since taking full control of the company. “I’m in a period of rebuilding,” she tells me as we walk through her new, massive studio space in NoHo.

Jones grew up in Portage, Indiana, with two brothers. “We were a sports family,” says Jones, who always preferred the arts. She started dancing around age three. “It was like Dance Moms. My mom hated it and was like, ‘Why can’t you play softball?’” But Jones, who felt like an outsider at home, loved her dance studio. “It gave me sisters.”
