I'm surprised there aren't more recent reviews of this awesome studio. I'm a yoga enthusiast and…read moreformer amateur dancer who has practiced hatha, ashtanga, and bikram, and I love this place. The asanas are different every class, even with the same teacher. The hands-on assistance by the teachers are always spot on, and the touches of aromatherapy and sound are relaxing and fulfilling. I especially enjoy class with Kucper, Alex, and owner Linda. All teachers are warm and caring and nurture a supportive atmosphere. The other practitioners are lovely, too. The studio is well appointed, clean, and inviting. I always look forward to class!

Absolutely love this place! I've been attending classes here almost everyday since late August and…read moreit's been such a good experience. Everyone who works here is so kind and welcoming. Working out has always intimidated me and I was really nervous before my first class but every instructor I've interacted with has been incredibly patient and understanding. Every instructor makes an effort to ask the class if anyone has injuries, no one is bullied into doing more than they can handle, and modifications are always welcome! While the instructors are very understanding and don't try to pressure students to go over their limits, they're still extremely encouraging and do want you to try challenge yourself. I will say that Dr. Brown's Align 1:10 is one of Align's most challenging class. It's very fast-paced (the most fast-paced class I've taken at Align) and I think Dr. Brown's class can be intimidating for some who have never taken the class before but the intention is to keep your heart rate elevated so he means well! Since the fast-paced element of this class is very intentional, you'll have to switch through each exercise very quickly, which is challenging at first (I struggled through my first class). But if you keep attending his classes, it'll become second nature. The style of the class is like a bootcamp class so he will definitely push you to give it your all but if you absolutely can't do something, modifications are fine. I always modify at least 1-2 things in his class and it's never an issue, as long as you feel like it's still challenging and that your heart rate stays up. The Align 1:10 Xpress class is shorter and a bit slower, at least I think so. Both classes are great if you're up to it and trust me, you'll feel so accomplished when you get through it but it's definitely not a yoga class! The other thing that Align has really helped with is my flexibility and range of motion. I originally started coming to Align because I wanted to start weightlifting but I'm so inflexible and tight that I couldn't even squat with proper form. All the classes I've taken at Align have really helped with this issue so if you're experiencing something similar, this is the place for you! Honestly, every class I've take at Align has been so great. If you have injuries that limit your physical movement, if you just get intimidated by working out like myself or even if you're an experienced athlete, I would highly recommend coming to Align! They have a student trial period, which is great because you can take as many classes as you want for a week for only $20 I think.

From sweating buckets in vinyasa to revelations in my postures in align ground to chillin' and meditating in restorative (which I fondly refer to as adult nap time), I find myself feeling transformed as I pour a complimentary tea before heading out for the rest of my day. Also, I have to say I really appreciate that many of Align's top instructors are black women. These teachers are some of the best I've encountered in over a decade of practice in NYC and other countries. Bravo to Align for highlighting an underrepresented group's fierce and fantastic ability to teach yoga.

Hi YTB, I wanted to…read moreshare some feedback about the 6:30p class CLASSIC 26+2 HOT 90 on Tuesday, Nov. 11 led by Caro Lokah. I could see that the studio thermostat was reading 117°F since my mat was positioned in the back corner. Would you say that's an acceptable temperature? Every website I've checked says that temperature is too high for hot yoga, but maybe I'm wrong or missing something. About halfway through the class (45 minutes in), I started feeling too hot and overheated. I was concerned for my well-being and uncomfortably hot. I quietly let Caro know I was too hot when she was nearby me. So I was preparing to leave the class early, but Caro pressured me to stay. This also made me feel more uncomfortable and embarrassed. I've attended hot yoga classes before and even at your studio, but I learned in Caro's class that 117°F is well beyond my tolerance level and a health-risk, in general. I understand that hot yoga is meant to be challenging, but this level of heat felt unsafe. I wanted to make you aware, as I'm concerned that such high temperatures and Caro's response to my situation could pose a risk to your students' health. Could you please confirm if this was intentional and Caro's response to my situation follows the guidelines of Yoga Tribe Brooklyn? Up until that class, I was really enjoying YTB.  Thank you for looking into this and responding. Tracy P.S. I tried emailing YTB, but there is no email listed on your site. I tried to DM YTB on Instagram, but it says "they don't allow new message requests from everyone." I sent a LinkedIn DM on Nov. 15, but no one replied.

This is my absolute favorite yoga studio in New York City, and I've visited many! As a yoga teacher…read moremyself, I became addicted to their hot yoga classes. The sessions are long, with some lasting up to two hours, and the teachers are extremely knowledgeable, kind and responsive. While I've noticed some younger teachers occasionally playing more modern music, which isn't my favorite, the overall experience is top-notch. The studio has the hottest rooms, which is perfect for hot yoga. I also want to mention that some of the two-star reviews are really unfair. If hot yoga isn't your thing, it doesn't reflect on the quality of this beautiful studio. Please keep up the amazing work and keep those rooms hot!

All are welcome and you feel it from the moment you walk in till the time you leave. The instructors are very welcoming, knowledgeable and encouraging. One in particular is Natalie(owner) and her encouraging spirit. I was one of her first students and came in not knowing what to expect and what I found was not your typical yogi. I was continuing my practice with someone who encouraged me to go harder and longer while hearing the tunes of Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Prince and a little jazz as well. She got me to do a headstand on my first visit and after a month I was doing it on my own. WOW!!! Now I find myself telling all I meet about yoga and about STACKED YOGA. STACKED is clean, plentiful of good encouragement and instructors that will take your practice to the next level. Don't be afraid of the small space. It is very intimate yes but I think it's what makes STACKED one of the best studious in the city. Come give it a try. You'll love it!! P.S. The yoga retreats are pretty awesome too

Eight years ago, I wrote a review of Tangerine that started out with me relating how I'm not a yoga…read moreguy. And I wasn't. Well, to update you (and my review), I'm still not. But I'm trying to be! Why, you ask? Pretty nosy of you, but I'll bite. My reasons are threefold: 1. I no longer play soccer because of physical and temporal limitations. Since that was essentially my only form of exercise, I needed to pick something else up regularly. 2. Yoga seems to be good for mind and body. That's a win. 3. Most importantly, I came out of the pandemic with a manbun (turns out I really like not getting my hair cut). As such, I feel like people assume I do yoga already, so I might as well actually get into it. What's a little disappointing is that even after eight years of doing yoga almost once every four years (up until last month), I am still a fairly hopeless beginner. I'm still wildly inflexible, and still not that bright. But whereas I used to like Tangerine, now I love Tangerine. Regular visits (I'm trying for twice a week lately) have reinforced what a nice community it is. The staff is great (friendly, welcoming, sweet). The space is great (clean, comfortable, well-laid out). The cute puppy that is occasionally here is the best. And the instructors are wonderful. I've only had a few of them because my schedule/children limit the times I can come in, but the ones I've had are all funny, cool, and badass. Ariel, Liz, Abby, whoever else I'm forgetting. They make me feel comfortable, they make me laugh, they pick good music, they help me get better, and they never judge me (out loud) for not knowing what I'm doing. On occasion, they will even use their hands (only if you're comfortable with it) to show me how to improve, which is extremely helpful. I can understand how touching me under even the best circumstances is completely repugnant (something my wife doesn't even like to do), and they do it while I'm a disgusting, sweaty mess. That's dedication. Most of the classes are for "All Levels" which means they have to cater to both horrible beginners (me) and insanely advanced folks (that guy that "warms up" by doing impossible head/handstands, and weird contortions that would tear my back permanently for all time).* And they do it well, for the most part. I realize this is probably just me, but the biggest problem I've encountered is that sometimes the instruction moves too quickly for me. I literally don't speak the language yet (Sanskrit I think?), and I'm still trying to process what I'm being told to do when everyone else is four moves ahead. I'm getting the hang of it, but it's slow going, what with my tiny brain and all. All that said, I'm down with this. Maybe it's because I now have children that I need to get away from, but if you know me, the fact that I'm legitimately enjoying a "workout class" and coming in regularly is completely out of character and downright shocking, really. It's truly a testament to Tangerine's hospitality. I love how nice everyone is. I love how I feel better about everything after I go. I love that they provide a mat and a towel that I will inevitably soak all the way through for the class, and sometimes a cold towel for afterward that feels as good anything that exists in life. I love that I'm enjoying something that will probably improve the quality and extend the quantity of my life.** Thanks, Tangerine. ____________ *I tend to warmup by lying on the ground, because it's hot in there, and moving is a lot. **Previously all the things I enjoy only occasionally improve the quality, and are often serious detriments to the quantity.

I took a decent amount of time off of yoga but was really impressed with how diverse and inclusive this place is. Minority owned and operated (shouts to Deanna who is also a great instructor) with a wide range of ages and levels of practice. It's beautiful to see all the different humans here helping themselves. The classes are not super packed which is what I sought after in a studio. I'm also really impressed with the different levels and classes offered because each instructor has their own uniqueness. Makes for such variety, yet progress. Super knowledgable as well and can help describe the science behind the asanas. I enjoy taking slower classes as well with only a few poses for an hour. Mostly on the weekend. I've found them to be super relaxing and a great counterpoint to the energizing and restorative classes I take during weekmornings. Glad to support the team!

Everyone was kind and greeted me when I arrived, which feels like such a rare and lovely touch in NYC. Why not a full five stars? The only downside was the mat setup--you're expected to use the one from the previous class, which is often still sweaty, and it's hard to reach the fresh ones underneath. Also, the floors could use a bit more cleaning between classes. I had a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend this studio. I'll be getting a membership. Oh idea for you: Put a second bar behind the mats for the used ones. Also reach out to the people who do the first time special and ask them how it went and if they want to join.
