During our whirlwind of a weekend visiting NYC, my husband and I woke up on a Saturday morning and…read moredecided we could both use a little bit of yoga to start our day... We searched Yelp for a nearby studio with a class that was appealing and we found that this new Midtown East CPY studio had a Core Power Yoga 2 class that morning... we weren't sure we'd make it, and we walked in just a few minutes before the class started, but the ladies at the front desk worked with us to get us registered and into the class and we were so appreciative. Kelsea W was our teacher and she was fabulous... she had some unique sequences that allowed my mind to focus on the present moment and just move / enjoy the class. Needless to say, it was exactly what I needed! The studio itself is spacious, offers lockers, bathrooms, water refills, a bit of a retail store, mats, towels, and more... So yes, CPY is a chain, but it's consistent and if you find the right teacher / class, you'll get just what you need in that moment. Thanks again, Kelsea!

We've been coming to CorePower Yoga - Midtown East for over a month now and have really enjoyed…read moretheir CP2 and YS classes. We've had the chance to take classes both in the mornings and evenings, and have likely practiced with most of their instructors at least once. The class schedule is great, and with our membership, booking spots for the high-demand classes isn't a hassle. We've had no trouble getting off the waitlist for early morning sessions either. All of the instructors have been friendly and excellent to work with, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Even when classes are full, the space doesn't feel too cramped, which makes for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend this location!

Overall, I truly felt welcomed at this studio & was even invited to do a meetup!

I attended a…read more"guilt and shame" sound bath where the "instructor" was saying incredibly traumatic things to people seeking help. One woman said she felt "guilty about the father she chose for her children" and this horrible abusive instructor told her "your kids chose their parents this is their bad karma to work through". This is twisted faux spiritual victim blaming. To anyone who suffered childhood abuse to be only to blamed for their own abuse DO NOT GO HERE.

Mang'Oh is the best! I was looking for a studio that's convenient to Grand Central, where I commute…read moreto/from the 'burbs. Fortunately I gave Mang'oh a shot about a year ago and have been coming regularly ever since. It's a small, intimate studio that rarely feels crowded. Most teachers are fantastic, each with a different style, so I'd recommend attending several classes until you discover those that mesh well with your yoga needs. I am a huge fan of Justin's class, which completely changed the way I practice yoga. Other outstanding teachers include Djuna, Josh, Marissa, Sarah G., Erica, etc. The monthly membership is well worth it if you're planning to practice at least 2x/week. I love that they provide jade mats free of charge for members - 1 less thing to carry on Metro-North! Thank you mang'oh!!

BurnStrong sent anyone who's ever taken a class with them a despicable email at 1 in the morning,…read morecontaining a (horribly) photoshopped photo of a "virus" exploding over a photo of a busy street in Asia (the signs were Chinese and everyone in the photo was of Asian descent). On top of this, they sent this email to peddle vitamins! And it's chock full of spelling errors (who spells hygiene as higiene?!). What a joke. They issued an apology email (over 12 hours later), after what I only assume was a barrage of outrage from people who were kept on their mailing lists after taking a single class. To make matters worse, there is a link in their "apology" email to visit their website?! Get out of here. Please get re-educated.

They weren't upfront about my package details at all--I signed up for what I thought was a one-month commitment, only to find out they locked me into two months and then charged me a random fee just to cancel. On top of that, when I literally spilled my water on the floor and asked for a towel to clean it up, they told me they would have to charge me for it. It is incredibly petty and transactional. To top it off, when I brought up a concern, the owner/manager sent a highly defensive email. Take your money to a studio that actually values its members.

In addition, they also have hot Pilates. That kicks your butt, but it feels amazing afterwards. Staff is great, they are very welcoming and supportive of everyone's journey in there well-being. The owner remembers everyone's names and has a very positive energy. The only downside is that they sell water bottles instead of offering a water cooler for water. Granted that New York tap water is very drinkable, I didn't really like that they offered water for sale, especially since it was in 16 oz plastic bottles. However, they sold coconut water which a lot of people purchased.
