Kalā Yoga — Attraction in New York

Adam is a fantastic instructor. I booked a session through ClassPass, and aside from a restorative yoga class earlier in the week, this was my first time in a more active class. Adam was incredibly supportive, offering alternative poses when needed and making sure everyone felt comfortable at their own pace.

He’s also very mindful of personal boundaries. If you're not comfortable with hands-on adjustments—as was the case with my partner—he provides clear verbal guidance without making you feel singled out. For those who do opt in for physical corrections (indicated by a small circle plate you can flip), his assistance is precise and makes a noticeable difference in your form and practice.

The studio itself is clean and located in a calm, quieter part of Williamsburg—just far enough from the hustle and bustle.

Mat, towel, and mat towel rentals are all reasonably priced—literally less than a cup of good coffee from Qahwah. Just a heads-up: if the front desk staff isn’t there and it’s only the instructor checking you in, you’ll need to pay for rentals via Venmo or Zelle.

I've been going to this studio several times a week now for almost three years and I can't recommend it enough. There's an easy sense of community which makes coming to class a treat. Monthly memberships are very affordable and educators are entitled to a discount. Desk staff, mostly volunteers, are unfailingly warm and competent. There are so many fantastic teachers on staff. I love Pia Fiato, who incorporates practical philosophy and a sense of humour into her classes. She's particularly good at hands-on corrections and always chooses great music. Jennie Epland is also trained in aromatherapy and as a Pilates teacher, so her classes feel sumptuously detail-oriented and often use scents. Nat Girsberger choreographs her classes beautifully, with balanced pacing, clear verbal instructions, and thoughtful reflection prompts to pair with movement, while keeping the...

I have been a member at Kala for 9 months now and can say I love it here. The classes are a great blend of mental and physical spirituality and effort. I think the variety of teachers lends the studio to be able to cater to a variety of preferences in practice. The studio is kept clean, and they recently did a series of renovations to repair some of the cosmetic damage done over time. The front check-in area is also a boutique and there are rotating artists' work on the walls in both the boutique and studio areas. I have never used the showers at the studio, but they just recently opened those up as well. All of the staff and work-study members have been very friendly and do their best to help. The studio has a great price point for their memberships (in my opinion.) The studio books through mindbody which I find...
