Welcome to East West Living!

The best place to “Be Inspired” in New York City

Welcome and blessings to all!  For nearly 30 years, East West Books has been New York’s largest source for spiritual, holistic health and metaphysical books and supplies.  Now, with a new store and expanded facilities, we’ve revised our name to East West Living to reflect our emphasis on a balanced lifestyle of body, mind and spirit awareness.  We think you’ll find a new spirit at East West which is luminous, calm and open – and a true haven in chaotic Manhattan.  

We recently re-opened after a year-long renovation which doubled the book and merchandise selections, added a vegetarian café on a mezzanine area and provided space for inspiring events in our brand new yoga studio (second floor). 

For your mind, you’ll find over 30,000 books in over 40 sections; for your energetic aura, an amazing crystal department with everything from Amethyst to Zoisite; for your spiritual practice, meditation and yoga accessories such as pillows and props; and for your senses, thousands of hard to find CDs and DVDs.  And there are hundreds of things you might not even know existed – such as our shaman’s pendulums and wands.  And there’s something new every day!

For a short tour, click here to see our monthly calendar of author appearances, workshops and meet-up groups. Or click here to see our yoga studio class schedule – all new for Spring!  Be sure to add your name to our invitation list so you’ll be invited to our free events, sales and special guest lectures.  We look forward to seeing you at the new East West Living.
