Remarkable. I've taken both Yoga Aligned and Yin Yoga with Juliet. After my first session with the…read moreformer, my body really opened up. This helped with my practice since I work on breathing deeply to move energy properly. Juliet is extraordinary and knows her stuff. It's reflected in the way she adjusts, her attentiveness, and the way she explains each posture. Separately, I've taken her classes at The Yoga Collective which has great energy. Beautiful studio, smells fantastic and is even enchanting when the lights get turned down and only the glow of the city gleams through the windows.

I found Rosie on yelp and was excited to see she was only 15 minutes away from me. I have been seeing her since July and wonder sometimes what I have done without her. Not only is she a attentive, knowledgeable, and supportive teacher but is also a wonderful person. I now consider her a friend/big sister and someone I can bounce any idea off of. She pushes me when I need to be pushed (physically), offers ideas for practice outside of the studio (physically and spiritually), and has made me a yoga-convert (I used to HATE it, but one session with her and I am now obsessed)! If you are debating whether to schedule a session with her or not I am here to tell you to stop debating and do it! You will not regret it and it may be as life changing for you as it was for me! P.S. If you're a dog person I highly recommend asking her to bring her dog Kaz down to join you during your session (I always do). If you're not, no worries! Kaz will stay upstairs waiting for my return ;)

When I began my journey with Michele at Beyond Body Mind Spirit, I expected to grow through…read moreguidance as a young professional. I never imagined how much she could help my personal growth. Though I encounter many personalities daily, I have never met someone who listens how Michele listens. When working with her, I was often surprised how her sensible feedback showed me wonderful new ways of interpreting situations, which led to one of my favorite lessons: seeing the world differently...wow. She communicates in ways that is so clear and has taught me other huge lessons -ones I now use daily. For example, when it comes to anxiety management, Michele has been a life saver. She knew how to push me to first recognize and then actually change anxious habits that didn't serve me. Michele taught me how to find peace when I'm overcome with anxiety (a problem many people struggle with). Michele pulls pages from her personal book when she teaches about authenticity. Thanks to her, I see that it's the only way to be. It's not only fair to those around me but more importantly it's only fair to me. Although it seemed like I was protecting myself and others, being 100% true is more loving and a beautiful thing. In my life-long quest for confidence, Michele helped me make great headway. When we began working together, Michele invited me to be on her TV Show that airs monthly on The Manhattan Neighborhood Network. Initially I emphatically rejected the offer claiming "I'm more of the behind-the-scenes type" and "I'm not confident enough to be on TV." Michele took up the challenge. By teaching me about the fascinating world of neurological path ways using basic examples and analogies, she helped me overcome old obstacles. Working with Michele yielded many invaluable lessons along with fun memories as we embraced our silly side together. ~Annemarie Bombardieri

She dispelled a lot of myths and bad technique while helping us make one another more comfortable with both giving and receiving deep tissue massage from one another. I went in thinking that this would be a fun and romantic thing, and I came out feeling like I learned a lot and that (with practice and perhaps more guidance) I would be able to more fully connect with my partner's needs. I was looking for this exact type of class, almost booked with the first thing that shows up in google, but I'm so glad they weren't available. Yves was really a consummate pro, is a great teacher, and has a great personality to boot. She should be your number one choice. She's only in New York once a month, so make sure you book her ahead of time!

This is not an experience to be missed. I have had much body work all over North America and a few choice sessions stand out, Emily's are some of them. If I lived in Brooklyn I would go to her weekly.

When I stumbled into The Five Lights Center website, I really like the layout of the site and how easy it was to start learning right away. They offered a "free" introduction, so that the student could get a taste. After I did that, I spoke with Kumiko on the phone, and got a very good impression; I felt that I had finally found my teacher!!! I highly recommend working with Kumiko. She is outstanding, very talented and professional, and very generous with her teachings. She goes above and beyond for her students. If you are hesitant of what I am saying, just go online and check for yourself. Not only do her students have success in shiatsu (eg. managing their own centers all around US) but additionally, she is connected worldwide!!! The Five Lights Center at NYC help us become better shiatsu practitioners so we can better contribute as world citizens overall !!!!

He gives amazing analogies and anecdotes that make you chuckle but also his voice is so soothing. I was already feeling anxious because train delays got me there about only 3 minutes before class but after a few seconds of an intro I was well on my way to relaxing. Although my flexibility is limited, the moves were not complex and Hunt helped me tremendously getting into a few of the positions. One of the many things I liked about him was his attentiveness and willingness to help. I will definitely will take more of his classes in the near future. About the space: It's such a welcoming environment and both the owner and front desk associate greeted me upon arrive, with a water bottle (because they knew I was running late) and warm smiles. The space itself is spacious and lots of natural lighting to really get into the yoga spirit. I came with ClassPass but looking forward to returning soon.

I was introduced to Park Slope Yoga Center (PSYC) through Groupon and it didn't take too long…read morebefore I powered through my first 10 classes. They offer so many classes throughout the day that it's hard to NOT find the time to go. The instructors are amazing and Teri (owner/director) is extremely warm and welcoming. This is my FAVORITE yoga studio! Also, if you sign up on their website, the first class is $5 and you'll receive 20% off a class package if you decide to purchase one immediately following your first class. Groupon users also get 20% off their next class package (woohoo!). 10-class packages are $150, 20-class packages are $275, 1-month unlimited is $180, and 3-month unlimited is $449 before the discount. Single classes are normally $18 each (or $15 for the 60 min classes held at 1pm on weekdays). ____ STUDIO ____ The main studio is gorgeous and hip with skylights and windows that look out into a forest-like courtyard. It's also one of the most spacious studio I have ever come across (the other one is the 34th Street Herald Square hot yoga studio). During mid-day, you can have as little as 4 students in the studio. I have never seen more than 20 students in one class yet. During the summer, they have the AC on. The Pilates class are usually in the small open space between the main studio and the women's changing room. (Men have a little curtained off booth in the open area to change.) There are two bathrooms behind the stairs, equipped with paper cups by the sink if you get thirsty. ____ YOGA ____ For yoga, there's the beginner's Hatha Basic (75 min), the intermediate Basic Vinyasa (75 min), the more advanced and open Vinyasa (90 min), Mixed Levels (90 min), Prenatal, and Parent/Baby Yoga. Rosie, Naomi, Robin, and Hunt are my absolute favorites but I have also taken classes from others and immensely enjoyed them. I choose classes based on the time rather than the instructor or the level. The advanced yoga classes were initially intimidating since they are usually attended by seasoned yogis. I got over it quickly since it really is a judgement-free zone and the instructors are extremely encouraging and understanding. The classes are open to all levels but I would recommend attending at least a few Hatha classes or a Mixed Levels class before challenging yourself to a Vinyasa class if you are new. I love the Hatha classes. There isn't much of a flow in these classes. The class focuses on deepening your stretches so that you understand which muscles are being activated in each pose. I have learned to love and appreciate yoga through these classes and always gravitate towards taking them when my schedule permits! I wish they had more of the intermediate Basic Vinyasa classes though. These are only offered ~3x a week. Yoga mat rentals are $1. The studio provides blocks, straps, and blankets to maximize muscle engagement. ____ PILATES ____ For pilates, Megan teaches a kickass class that leaves your core and hamstrings sore for days. They provide thicker mats and use a different strap. _________________ Remember to take your shoes off after coming up the stairs onto the 2nd floor, have your key card scanned, and have fun! There's no need to sign up online beforehand, which I love! I enter PSYC stressed and leave feeling lighter and more relaxed. If I had to choose between taking a yoga class and getting a full body massage, I would definitely pick yoga!
