One of few English speaking yoga classes offered in the area, the format proved challenging but our instructor was very encouraging and supportive! My husband and I felt very comfortable and welcomed by the local " regulars". Circuit is a space that promotes sustainability through art so whenever they sponsor community gatherings, you will find no paper plates or plastic forks! They have a water cooler and actual glasses for guests to use. They recycle and use composting trash bags, too. The decor is eclectic, light and bright with a very chill vibe. Aside from yoga classes, they offer art classes and host second-hand resale bazaars. The space is available for rent, too.

I was craving yoga since my move from Vancouver and this place fit the bill very well! Neat and…read morespacious studio, excellent instructors who speak English, great vibe among the students, nice sauna and showers, and a great introductory price (100TL for a month, unlimited!) After that the price jumps to 240TL which is still very reasonable. They have guest instructors visiting from abroad (one of my teachers from Vancouver was here!) and they have all kinds of classes for everyone. I especially recommend the beginner's. You can also book a massage, which isn't the typical hammam type.

Beautiful, airy and sunny yoga studio located in the Moda neighborhood of Istanbul's Asian side. I…read moretook two drop in yoga classes (35 TL each) and found the studio to be clean, luxurious, and peaceful. The studio space is large but doesn't leave feeling like you're miles away from the instructor. It's surrounded on two sides by giant windows which open out onto a quiet, tree-lined street. The classes themselves were level appropriate and on-par with classes I've taken in New York at franchise yoga companies. The instructors spoke enough English to give me direction and corrections despite teaching the class in Turkish. If you're an advanced practitioner and can follow without having to have the poses explained to you, definitely give Nefess a try. Yoga in another language is an adventure! And the Ashtanga class led by Bilge was almost 2 hours and very challenging. She offered hands on corrections for the majority of class (which I appreciate). The bathrooms were super clean, the lobby area is comfortable and has complimentary tea and water available. Mats are provided for free and are very high quality, grippy thick mats unlike the standard yoga mats that peel and get chewed up with time. There are proprietary cushions, straps, blocks, and even lavender eye pillows for use. The two classes I took were small 5-10 people and I enjoyed them even more than some of the classes I've taken in NYC at brand name places.
