I had been going to Yoga Roots for 7-8 years and often purchased annual passes. This past year, I…read moresustained an injury and was unable to attend yoga. I contacted Yoga Roots to ask for a partial refund or some other negotiated solution to this problem, and I included a letter from my doctor. It was also under the recommendation by my physical therapist that I avoid yoga. I needed to contact them a few times to get a response. They finally suggested that I wait until I was recovered and they could extend my pass. However, when I contacted them a while later about this, they--once again--did not respond. One would think that since I had been going to the studio for 7-8 years, that they would be more interested in resolving this issue, but it became obvious they were not. If you are considering them as your yoga studio, you may want to ask them what their policy is for unforeseen accidents and medical issues. You may also want to reflect on the ethics of a business you choose to support. Yoga Roots has some wonderful teachers, but because of my recent experience, I could never recommend them.

Yoga Roots is a charming, welcoming, and peaceful oasis of a yoga studio and I am so pleased that…read moreit is within walking distance of my house! Coming off a long illness and series of abdominal surgeries, I have been anxious about getting back into exercise and yoga seemed to me like a nice, gentle way to get back into shape. So, my experience at Yoga Roots has so far spanned their selection of more gentle class offerings: - Slow Flow: The most vigorous of the classes I tried, this seems like it covers most of the bases of a regular vinyasa class, just slowed down somewhat in pace. - Basics: Slightly less rigorous than the Slow Flow, a good way to get acquainted with the poses and how the classes run. - Yin: My favorite so far; this class focuses on releasing deep tissue and ligaments - which is exactly what I need. I'd go to this class every day if it were offered! - Restorative: The most gentle of all; poses are lying down and utilize gravity to achieve a deep, slow stretch. Because I am so out of shape, I was relieved to find this studio to have a welcoming and non-judgmental vibe across all four of those classes and with all of the instructors I have so far encountered. In every class there is a deliberate emphasis on working at your own pace and doing what feels best for your body. With that attitude, I look forward to using Yoga Roots as a resource as I make my own progress back to wellness.

Approximately 9 people plus the instructor attended the class and it appears that I was the newbie of a tight knit group, however the class and Erin welcomed me openly. Though I am relatively new to studio classes, having developed most of my yoga skills via dvds, the instruction was spot on and could be adapted to someone just developing yoga skills or to the more advanced and well practiced. I would definitely attend this studio again and if this was my home neighborhood it would be my studio of choice. After class Erin engaged me in conversation sharing a link to my hometown and when I mentioned I was attempting to expand my knowledge of yoga and explore more types of classes she recommended other options for me. I also happened to mention I plan on spending a week in the OC, CA area in September and she encouraged me to attend some of the studios there that she had great experiences with. This has been one of the best yoga experiences I have had to date.

She holds the right of yoga for all to a high importance, even allowing those who may not typically be able to afford an expensive monthly membership ($90-$120/ month at a lot of studios near me) to still be able to participate. To me, that not only shows her respect for the practice but also her respect and love for our community. The teachers at Abide are fantastic. They all help to foster a beautiful sense of community as well. You will find that they are all concerned with both your growth as a yogi and your comfort throughout that journey. The support is very much appreciated. Though I have been practicing for almost 2 years, I find I learn something new in almost every class I attend! Thank you Hope for creating this beautiful environment for growth, friendship, fun, and personal discovery!

I've been going to Green Tara for over a year and while all the teachers at the studio are very…read moregood, Karen is by far the best. She is an excellent instructor who is disciplined and emphasizes form, teaching you to be thoughtful and aware of your body. What really sets her apart is that she is both yoga teacher and life coach in one, without being too self-help or corny or inaccessible. I'm not at all new-age-y, but her classes really transcend your traditional pose/ stretch/downward-facing dog, and leave you with both a refreshed mind and body. The studio is small but cozy, and you get a feel for a sense of community as the classes are a good mix of long-time veterans and first-time drop-ins. I've also taken some classes at the Yoga Room which is an amazing facility in one of the converted Little Italy school-houses, but the quality and the level of detail of teaching at Green Tara in one of Karen's classes is unmatched. I've only ever done Iyengar yoga (minus the yoga class I went to at a 24hr Fitness once, which was so UNNATURAL and weird), so I can't compare it to any of the other yogas, but the perfectionist in me loves the slower pace and an almost cerebral emphasis on form. Check this place out!

I have been to other yoga places, most recently the place on W. 25th St. in Ohio City. Green Tara Yoga is the best experience I have had by far. If you are a teenager or a cheerleader, or want to listen to calming nature sounds and smell incense, you should not come here. But if you honestly want and need to feel better--if you have body aches and want a place that takes these issues seriously, Green Tara is your place. Karen took me and my issues seriously and she knew what she was doing. This woman is an expert. I thought I'd try it for one night, and ended up signing up for eight classes this evening. I am pleased.

The day pass was only $22 which is really affordable compared to the other gyms I have visited. My husband and I quickly watched the welcome video and passed the belay test so we can sport climb. The employees at the front desk were very kind and helpful. The upstairs of Sport Rock has shorter walls to sport climb. Those walls are really good for warming up, and for kids to climb. We started out there and then moved to the taller walls on the first floor. Downstairs had a great variety of climbs. The beta on the lower-level problems was more interesting than climbing a ladder which was greatly appreciated. I climbed a 5.10+ which was a fun mind bender. Being just under 5 feet tall, I was really impressed that all the holds were within my wingspan. We finished our day with bouldering. I loved the boulder setting. There was a fun V2 cave problem I got to try. My aunt who climbed with us enjoyed the V0 traverses to practice on. There was great variety in the setting and a lot of thought put into more beginner level routes. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this climbing gym, and look forward to purchasing another day pass when I am back in town visiting family.
