Beautiful, airy and sunny yoga studio located in the Moda neighborhood of Istanbul's Asian side. I took 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. read more
