This studio - from top to bottom & everywhere in between--is incredible . I was totally blown away…read moreby my first free class here at Practice. For starters, it is a gorgeous, impeccably designed space. It is calming and welcoming, & every interaction - from greeter to teacher--was warm. The yoga room is lit by candlelight & heated with infrared technology. As someone who found the heat of bikram to be kind of suffocating, this infrared heat truly (as advertised) felt like sunshine. The studio does offer classes of varying degrees of difficulty & experience, but my experience was with the fully-guided primary Practice Flow. As an introduction, I am as far from a yogi as Saturn is from Earth- years of sports have demolished my joints & overtuned my tendons, & I can hardly touch my toes (& the use of the word "hardly" is generous). As such, I was somewhat intimidated to take my first free Practice Flow at Practice Saturday morning. I was worried everyone in the class would be incredibly flexible & amazing & bend circles around me. & honestly, if there was a third party watching the class from the ceiling, they very well may have been! However, throughout the entire class, I did not even notice. Class at Practice is truly a personal experience. You become so tuned in to your own body you do not find yourself searching the room for inspiration or competitors. The room is filled with encouragement & light. It challenged me & awakened a love for yoga I never knew existed. Tommy -the teacher of the class, & studio owner- is fantastic. He is encouraging & takes the time to correct form if it is lacking. He was positive the entire time, which, as a far from perfect perfectionist, I completely appreciated. If you prefer not to be adjusted at all, there are cards available at the front desk that you can leave on your mat & indicate such. The music was great - not overpowering. I felt energized & positive when I walked out the doors of Practice for the first time, & I can hardly wait to enter those doors again. Thank you, Practice & Tommy, for an amazing class!

Exceptional Yoga Studio with Amazing Instructors!…read more I first experienced yoga in the 1960s and 1970s in NYC when it was viewed as a unique and transformative experience. In those days, I recall it being more spiritually oriented. For many, including me, practicing yoga back then was to embrace the hippie movement, the pursuit of peace, love, and expanded consciousness. I recall doing yoga in parks, communes, and spiritual retreats. Fast speed ahead 50 years. From the moment I stepped into Community Yoga Studio (CYS), I knew I had found something special. The space is serene, welcoming, and perfectly designed for deepening both physical practice and mindfulness. A huge highlight of my experience has been Sam--a phenomenal instructor. Sam's guidance is both encouraging and insightful, making every class feel accessible yet challenging in all the right ways. Her ability to create a positive, uplifting atmosphere make each session truly exceptional. Whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years, Sam has a way of making everyone feel seen, supported, and inspired. Beyond the incredible instruction, the studio itself is spotless, well-equipped, and offers a great variety of classes to fit every mood and level. The sense of community here is wonderful, and I always leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and grateful. If you're looking for a yoga studio where you'll feel truly welcomed and supported, CYS--and especially Sam--is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Great place for your yoga practice. They offer a ton of…read moremixed level classes. If you're a beginner, I would suggest basic beginners, gentle yoga, and either restorative or yin. If you're looking for a more of a challenge, or have some yoga knowledge of the asanas (what the poses are called in Sanskrit) then I would suggest either their vinyasa flow or hot yoga. Be warned hot yoga is called that for a reason, the room is heated to 95*. The heat of the room allows your muscles and tendons to open up, which allows for greater flexibility and movements. Being a advanced practitioner myself, with nearly a decade of practice. I tend to the more advance classes, and I've taken both the vinyasa and hot classes here at Santosha. I liked both classes but being a teacher myself, I find that my "attachments" get in the way...... If you've ever taken a class, it's likely you know what I'm taking about. What I think is great about this yoga studio is that they truly offer something for everybody- and I mean every BODY. People have this misconception and the stereotype yoga is only for the skinny, female, flexible types. But it's not true. Yoga is truly for every body type. You don't have to be flexible, be able to touch your toes or ever learn an arm balance or inversion (if you want to though, that's welcome!). Yoga is about being present. Letting go of the past and not worrying or obsessing over the future. Santosha is a very welcoming yoga studio. The teachers are patient, encouraging and knowledgeable in their specific classes. Like I said this yoga studio truly offers classes for every level of practitioners. From first timers, beginners to advance practitioners or even people with limited mobility or injuries (chair yoga offered!). There is a class for you. If you're looking to expand your yoga practice, they offer yoga teacher training here. Whether you just want to learn more about yoga- the history/lineage/8 limbs etc., take your practice deeper or if you're looking to become a teacher yourself. Then you could take YTT and get your 300/500 hours in. Drop in classes are $16, which is great. A lot of other studios these days are charging $20-$25 for 1 class. If you want to save even more money buy a pack of classes, or get an unlimited month or multiple month package. Be sure to bring everything your personal items- mat, water bottles and towels (for vinyasa and hot yoga), but know that they do provide props, should you need them. In a world where yoga studios are becoming a dime a dozen this one is definitely worth checking out. Namaste!
