Irony !

by success1027 at Citysearch

I don't know about other instructors in this place but because of one instructor the whole image of this yoga center got so bad.

She was very arrogant and negative, she needs spritual Feng Shui for herself.

I just experienced the same thing today. Everyone I have dealt with at this center so far has been wonderful, but this one female instructor is a real problem. She is unfriendly to the point of hostility, extremely bossy, negative, and ridiculously controlling. She made me feel so uncomfortable and so unwelcome in my first class with her that I couldn't wait to get out of there. I will continue to practice yoga at the center, but I will avoid her and her class.

Fantastic yoga center!

by aquagirl26 at Citysearch

I don't know what the negative reviewer is talking about....sounds like someone walked in the door during class and got upset when the teacher didn't stop teaching to talk to them! (they leave the door open to let in late students, like me, access to come in quietly.) This place is great! It's amazing how super knowledgeable the teachers are, I feel that you always get a lot of attention and everyone has a very zen-loving attitude here, including the other practitioners. New space is great--just wish I had more time for yoga!

• Pros: best teachers, great studio
• Cons: none

Super Accommodating

by boerumnewbie at Citysearch

I went to this yoga center under the mistaken belief that I was attending a "Level 1" course. I realized I had made a mistake when the second pose was handstand! Even so, the teacher was extremely patient with me and took time to teach me basic things.

I have taken yoga at several locations, and although I have never done Iyengar, this place gave me individualized attention that I have not gotten except through private instruction. I can't speak for all the instructors there, but the fact that I was treated well even though I was holding back the class and it required extra effort on the part of the teacher shows that this place is the real deal. Highly recommended.

• Pros: Very Understanding Instructors
• Cons: None so far

Best yoga studio in Brooklyn!

by brooklynmermaid at Citysearch

I love this place! I've been going here for years. All the instructors are knowledgeable, insightful, and welcoming. So many other studios you just go through the motions, not really understanding how things connect, but these people actually spends the time explaining how your body works. I have a pretty good understanding of biomechanics, but I always learn something here. Plus, the other students are friendly, and there are lots of props to help you through whatever body issues you have (I happen to have a lot, so this is great for me). I particularly like the restorative class on Fridays, I went last night and feel like a new person. I highly recommend both this style (Iyengar) and this yoga studio.

• Pros: knowledgeable, friendly and attentive teachers, lots of props, nice space
• Cons: parking can be difficult

Amazing Instructors

by statestreeter at Citysearch

What a great find in Brooklyn! This place has it all -a varied schedule, tons of props, a rope wall ( which is amazing to hang upside down on) and knowledgeable instructors. That last one is the most important- after each class I find myself strolling down Fifth Ave amazed by the clarity of the instructor and feeling like a new man. I think I'm addicted!

• Pros: Instructors
• Cons: none

I was embarrassed...

by parkslope1962 at Citysearch

My new year's resolution is to get better so I visited this place. The entrance door was open and session was on. since there was nobody to talk I was looking around and then an instructor came out and just let me out of the center. I fully understand that she was teaching and could not help me out.

If they don't want to be bothered or don't want to welcome potential customer they should have locked the door . I felt insulted by the way she treated me she just kicked me out as if I were dirt or something.

Yoga is not just stretching your body, It is not just physical. It is a way of meeting God and Universe.

positive energy gathers good things. she should have let me watch the session if she is smart.

• Pros: Location is good
• Cons: Energy is not comfortable
