Great Yoga Studio in Bklyn or anywhere

by kohan171

Being a guy I am always a little apprehensive about new yoga studios. However this place was very welcoming . I first called the place on Saturday to get a better feel of the studio and left a message. I received a call back the next day where this very friendly and funny person help put my feelings at ease. She understood where I was coming for as a Guy and my concerns and assured me that the place was friendly. When I arrived everyone was out going - the owner came of and introduced herself and talked about the different classes. The instructed was very helpful and the class was challenging. A definite return

Yoga People in Brooklyn Heights

by sburroughs

In the three years that I have had a yoga practice Yoga People has been the nicest and most enjoyable studio for me to visit regularly.

The studio has wonderful instructors and the class size is small enough that you will get personal attention. The studio offers a great selection of yoga classes from beginner classes to advanced levels. Yoga People also has a good schedule of classes to take both during the day and at night.

Overall I would hole-heartedly recommend Yoga People to anyone interested in either starting to learn about Yoga or for individuals continuing in their current practice. The Brooklyn Heights studio is beautiful and the relaxed atmosphere is a perfect place to take classes and meet other nice people.

The friendly owner is more than happy to help in anyway she can in fitting your yoga interests to classes that are available. Yoga People will make your yoga practice stress-free while making it a personal experience.

• Pros: Best Yoga Studio in Brooklyn
• Cons: None

Best studio in Brooklyn!

by haleymills

Yoga People is an amazing studio! Their new space is intimate without feeling crowded, with huge windows that let in tons of natural light and gorgeous wooden floors. THeire mom-and-baby classes are terrific, and their prenatal teachers are incredible. In fact, all the insturctors are wonderful, tremendously supportive and encouraging despite your skill level. It's the best studio I've been to in Brooklyn!

• Pros: Gorgeous space, great teachers

Best Place to Catch Your Breath!

by MaryMiss

I just moved to Brooklyn and am so relieved to have found a studio I love just as much as my studio back home! The studio at Yoga People is beautiful with high ceilings and big windows, and I love that they let me use their mats for free so I don't have to haul my own with me. I took a particularly wonderful Jivamukti class with Jen, and have yet to take a class from someone I did not like. Everyone I've encountered there has been lovely, staff and other students alike. Yoga People has quickly become a part of my routine, my new home away from home!

Lovely!

by 11211chick

What a departure from the standard Yoga studio. The place is so calming and zen like and does not contain that garish colors and general cheesiness you so often see in yoga studios. Its nice they used a lot of green materials too. The class was great--a little difficult for me becuase I am stiff and out of practice but the instructor was very accomodating. The spa looks lovely too I can't wait to get a massage there.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: None

unpleasant

by lunaticbodhisattva

The owner is a nasty woman, she is rude to customers. No thank you. The teachers are all very uninspiring. The whole studio reeks of averageness. Not recommended

Best Classes for Beginners in GORGEOUS space!

by frobin

I was introduced to yoga at Yoga People shortly after moving into the neighborhood last year. I took their beginner's course and LOVED it!! I feel more alive, I have less pain in my neck and shoulders and I'm more energetic. I couldn't stop recommending it to all my friends enough and ended up taking the course again with a friend who loved it as well - she's become a regular student and I get out to class as much as I possibly can - I particularly love Jen, the Jivamukti teacher and Morgen's class and the times work with my busy schedule. The new space is AMAZING and the most gorgeous space on Montague Street and the spa there is now my new favorite place to go for massage and is great for spa parties (I've had 2 ;) ). So take a class and then get in for a massage - there's really nothing sweeter!

• Pros: Great instructors and gorgeous space!

Great New Space on Montague Street!

by deweyyogo

If you haven't already, check out Yoga People's new space on Montague Street- all I can say is WOW! The space is so calming and beautiful, and just steps from the R train which is perfect for me! The spa area has expanded and is equally beautiful, which leaves me to wonder...why haven't I gotten a massage here yet??? Seriously I am so impressed by the space and if you are serious about yoga in B'lyn Heights then this is the place to go.

• Pros: It's beautiful!

Intimate & like family atmosphere

by yogaliz

I hadn't taken yoga in several years and came across this space walking by with friends, and am so glad I did! The teachers are awesome and very attentive. Classes are intimate and personal and you get the personalized attention from the teachers that you don't get at the big studios in the city. They make sure that they know every student's limitations prior to class so they can ensure a safe expereience. Have also gotten massages there- what a treat! I don't even live that close to the studio but I keepcoming back every week. Do yourself a favor and try Yoga People- and bring a friend!

• Pros: Great teachers & atmosphere
• Cons: It's not closer to MY house!
