Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York

Iyengar Yoga Institute of NY has been life changing for me! I have been attending in person and now remote classes for about 5 years. All of the instructors are highly skilled, committed and attentive. Even on Zoom, they don't miss anything (lift those arches Dian!). They also actively build community (with community classes and events) and their customer support is highly responsive and efficient. I can't recommend the Institute enough!

Get yourself to these incredible yoga classes. By far the most experienced, nuanced, dynamic, nourishing and inspiring classes I’ve ever experienced in my practice. I came to New York for an extended work trip, and was excited to explore the offerings at the institute and I’m leaving NYC completely transformed and inspired by what I’ve learned from these incredible instructors. If you are new to Iyengar, don’t be intimidated; this is the perfect place to get curious and build a practice. There are so many phenomenal teachers, but I would particularly recommend Deidra’s class. Her class is warm and welcoming, but don’t you worry, it’s also challenging. I always leave sweaty, having learned something new and with my mind (heart?!) blown open. So much gratitude for all of the wisdom and beauty shared. Truly a special place :-)

This is a serious Iyengar Yoga studio, but it is completely novice-friendly and welcoming to new students. The space is beautiful, immaculate, serene, and extremely well equipped with all the props you could ever want. No need to schlep your own mat. The instructors are experienced, professional and extremely well equipped to deal with students at all levels of experience and dedication to the practice of yoga. They offer the most thorough, clear yoga instruction I have ever had. There is a prevailing attitude that yoga is for everybody. No judgement – just incredible support, guidance and a willingness to share their knowledge. I wouldn’t consider practicing anywhere else. In addition to the amazing classes, they offer weekend workshops which focus on different body parts: hips, back, shoulders etc. The workshops are reasonably priced considering the quality and the amount of relevant information shared. One comes away from these workshops with a deeper understanding of how the body works and how to manage it. I always feel amazing after class. My posture has improved and as time passes, my lower back pain keeps diminishing. I credit this studio for improving my posture, yoga practice and my musculoskeletal health. Thank you!
