Best Yoga in Union Square area
by rtendolk
I've checked out classes at Om, Jivamukti, The Shala, Laughing Lotus and Integral Yoga. Out of all of these places, I think Yoga Works is the best. Their classes are challenging, but at the same time teachers are really good about explaining technique. When I take classes at other places in the area, I find that they rush through and the technique is terrible - which is not as effective out and may even result in injury. A lot of the teachers are very experienced and learned at Yoga Works in CA (where it's the top school). You'll find out pretty quickly which teachers are best. The downside is that they only have 2 classrooms. They don't offer as many classes as some of the bigger schools. Evening and weekend classes can be crowded and they don't have good changing rooms. The unlimited monthly rate is a great deal, but even if it were more, I don't think I would go anywhere else.

I love this studio... totally unpretentious yet still a cool place to practice. The teachers are so amazing and the level of attention was awesome. I even had my own Yoga Advisor to help me! It was a great way to get started... and now I am hooked.

The quality of the teaching is unparalelleled. If you really want to learn how to be strong and avoid injury in every pose this the studio for you. Beginners and advanced students will benefit from the attention to detail in every class. Plus they have Yoga Advisors to help you create a program that will meet your goals.
Pros: quality of teaching, variety of classes, yoga advisor program
