Best Yoga-Studio for hot/bikram yoga I have been so far. It seems they even have Ayurveda therapists giving treatments there, which makes it all the more interesting for me. Had a great experience overall! read more

I took an excellent Bikram Yoga class here. Instruction was in German, but it heightened awareness of the moment and added an additional challenge that I welcomed. There were two instructors in class, with one adjusting. I've never taken a Bikram class with this level of attention (ah, German engineering at it's finest) and I feel like this class alone was a booster pack to my entire decade + long practice. If your idea of relaxation is torturesome detoxification, then I strongly recommend a grueling session at Yoga and More. (the relaxation is the reward). The studio itself is beautiful and the heated room has hardwood floors which is always preferential to carpet. 10 Euro for 10 classes intro special makes even one class cost effective. read more

One of the nicest studios I have attended and without a doubt, the best teacher I have had the pleasure of working with. Ferri takes his time to help newbies and encourages even the most advanced students to take a Korrektur class from time to time.The mind and the body are challenged and stimulated here. It is the first studio I have seen that offers hot yoga in a slightly cooler room (33-36° C) for those who cannot abide the 38-40° classes. Ferri is respectful and encouraging and I have had nothing but positive experiences with the other teachers at the studio. The classes are all auf deutsch but instructors will do their best, depending on how full the class is, to help you in English should the need arise. When I found out I was pregnant and started showing, I was given variations on postures which helped me continue the practice throughout the nine months. (Clearly the Cobra Series was going to be a no-go). The studio itself is stunning. Warm, clean and inviting. The changing rooms have plenty of lockers and there are several showers available. Mats are available to buy or rent as are towels and water. Cannot recommend this studio enough! Enjoy! read more

Here is a copy of the letter I wrote to this yoga studio, which I think will give you a good sense of my frustration. To Whom It May Concern, Apologies for writing in English. If I spoke German, I would do it that way! The day before yesterday, I signed up for a 10 days for 10 Euro plan at your studio. I went to my first class (which was great), and then decided to go again last night. The session was at 8pm. Me and the German girl I'm staying with arrived at 7:57. The woman behind the counter said "I'm sorry, but you have to be at least 5 minutes early to take class." I was not informed of this rule when I signed up. I also noticed it wasn't on my membership card. So I have no idea how I was supposed to know this. I told this to the girl, but she said there was nothing she could do. I do yoga every day back in America. I've been to dozens of studios. And though I've occasionally found a studio that doesn't like people to come late, I have never been turned away. I would like to tell you that what happened last night, if this is really your policy, is totally against the spirit of what you teach, and I encourage you to change your policy. First of all, if something is on a schedule as starting at a certain time, it is always fair to assume that you can take part in it if you arrive before that time. If this is the rule you want, please change your calendar to SHOW class starting at 7:55, as opposed to 8:00. And put on all your literature (including your schedule brochure) that people cannot be late. Secondly, the first class I took started 5 minutes late. I think it's incredibly rude and hypocritical for you to be allowed to start whenever you want, but students aren't granted the same power. It's disrespectful and unprofessional. But here's the most important thing. Yoga is not about creating a place of pure peace for those who come. Yoga is about teaching people to find peace within themselves, in a world that is decidedly not peaceful. So if your goal with this ridiculous policy is to provide some kind of safe haven, where your students don't have to deal with other people arriving close to starting time, this is completely at odds with what yoga stands for. It's not a luxury good, but a practice. Finally, it is against the spirit of yoga to turn away anyone who wants to practice. Yoga is supposed to be inclusive and loving and above all else FLEXIBLE! That's the whole point. Your insistence on a slavish devotion to rules stands in direct opposition to the point of what you claim to do. Shame on you, for treating what is meant to be a bastion of spiritual inclusiveness as a place of strict policy and exclusion. TW read more

I see there has not been in improvement in die Dicke Luft was hangt durchdringt diese Nette Yoga Studio. Yes, a beautiful space with a cult like Dogma undercurrent manifesting from Mr. Ferri the founder/owner. I raced to get to class 30 minutes beforehand to sign up for the 10 Euro starter package. Due to a U-bahn delay I was there 15 minutes before class. Upon entering 3 starry eyed people locked eyes with me and a diminutive Middle Eastern man with a thick Teutonic accent moved in my direction from behind the podium. I asked for the 10 Euro starter package. I was told that there is "an application" process and it takes 20 minutes to fill out necessary "paper work" and I would not be attending the class tonight and to come back another time. Words you don't want to hear after rushing to do Yoga after a trying day catching subways to back to back meetings. I said, can I give you my name and contact details and sign the release form and fill out the rest after class? My request was flatly refused, as Mr. Ferri, said.. "You need to have instruction" as to our philosophy of Yoga and how our studio operates. I don't know if this was to indoctrinate me into their cult like mindset that this is "not" Bikram Yoga, so Ferri, won't be sued by Bikram Choudhury( who copyrighted and trademarked all "his" Asanas, which he stole from Patanjali and the other Masters before him and is a fugitive from U.S. law enforcement). I've been doing Yoga for over 25 years in California and have trained with over 100 yoga instructors in retreats in New York, Mexico, Europe and never experienced such highmindedness and unnecessary dogma in any Studio be it Berlin or India. Further, upon leaving the studio, I remembered taking a class from Mr. Ferri, where he in a large white English Roll arm chair teaching class emulating his "Guru" be it Osho or Bikram in his white loin cloth waxing philosophically about his "Guru", telling us not to look at our neighbors, focus on the Asana's "get out of the critical monkey mind". I was scolded for wiping the salt sweat blinding me as it dripped from my brow, in the sauna room temperature of 40c .... "Do not do anything but the Asana "pose", let go of your monkey mind" Mr. Ferri shouted. I counted the minutes until the class would be over and the übertrieben teutonic Yoga Dogma feeding the monkey mind of Mr. Ferri was silenced I bet he's well intended, unfortunately, as in everything the Teutonic Take on Yoga "es ist in Dogma Uber drive". If you are a follower be it a Yogi or Instructor you may like the Patriarchal Matrix, I rather follow Krishnamurti's Philosophy To become a follower of any one person is to cease to be a follower of the truth. read more
