And Yoga Studios - Nostrand — Local services in New York

CUSTOMER PSA: If you get a month-to-month membership, expect management to illegally charge you no matter how many times you attempt to cancel. As other reviewers have noted, they are stunningly rude and love to nickel-and-dime. I experienced multiple deceptive billing practices that violate NY State law. My membership price was raised without notice, the studio refused a legally-required refund, and cancellation was made unnecessarily difficult.

Under NY General Business Law Article 30, Section 624, health clubs (including yoga studios) must:

1. Allow membership cancellations up to 3 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER the monthly renewal date, and provide a refund if you were already charged; and
2. Let you cancel your membership online if you were able to sign up online.

The studio does neither. They claim cancellation is only allowed if done 10 business days BEFORE renewal and do not provide an option to cancel online. Instead, they direct you to an email account which is amazingly unresponsive: it took me 11 days, multiple follow-ups, and a phone call before I ultimately got a derisive and unhelpful response.

They also raised my monthly price without advanced notice, did not allow me the opportunity to opt-out, and claimed their contract allows them to increase the price on customers at any time without notice (it doesn't).

Rather than continue arguing, I disputed the charge with my credit card company and won - not hard considering the studio’s practices are illegal. If you’ve been overcharged or denied a refund, you might consider doing the same and possibly filing a complaint on the NY State Attorney General's website.

It's a shame, because the classes themselves are great. But having good yoga teachers doesn't excuse a business from following basic consumer...

My daughter and I wanted to try aerial yoga. Google search yielded a beginner class at And Yoga Studios. Not knowing anything about the studio and absent a personal recommendation, I thought it best to go with an open mind and just see if I like it. My initial impression of the studio was very positive: it was clean, with a relaxed zen vibe, but with an energy created by the bold colorful fabrics hanging from the metal beams on the ceiling. The instructor, Maya, had prepared the studio for the exact number of students. She was friendly and professional, gave excellent guidance, and made astute observations and corrections. I also thought the playlist was well curated. At the end of class I felt relaxed yet energized. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend And Yoga to anyone interested in aerial yoga. Notably, the studio also...

At the beginning of the year I decided that I wanted to build community outside of a professional setting and to get back into my yoga practice. I’d been passing the studio for years so naturally I decided to look into classes here. Plus it’s Black owned which is important for me. I’ve been taking class here once a week for the past month with various teachers and each class has been great. While each teacher has their own vibe there’s consistency in the style of teaching. The teachers really focus on connecting your breath with your movement which surprisingly I don’t always find in the more commercial yoga studios. Overall the environment is warm, welcoming and tight knit. It’s perfect for folks who want a more intimate setting. They also have a discounted program for Black men on a sliding scale which is a lovely offering to the Bed...
