Daya Yoga Studio — Local services in New York

I have been coming to Daya for almost two years. I look forward to classes--to move my body in ways that sitting down at a desk, on the bus, on the couch do not offer, and to open my mind and heart through the teachings that each teacher infuses into their class. Ania's class will kick your butt and you will find places inside yourself you have not yet explored; Meghan's class with live music leaves me feeling refreshed to go back out into the world; Carlos' flow is energizing and I leave with my heart's capacities for compassion extended. Jess' class is an amazing way to bring energy into lazy weekend mornings. Liz, Tyler, Maggie, Kacper, Linnea, Suzana, Kiersten--and all the teachers who's 7am class I've never made it to! --are an amazing crew of teachers, each completely dedicated to their practice and students ...it is one big family at Daya. Everyone who walks through the door is openly and genuinely welcomed in. In Bushwick it can be hard to make real connections with new people...everyone in coffeeshops seems to be on their laptop, bars can be a place where you only talk to the people you went there with, and even while sitting at communal tables at restaurants in the neighborhood, I never really venture to talk to strangers. But at Daya, I feel connected to a wonderful group of people who are all working to open their bodies, minds and...

Have only been to one class so far but WOW it was awesome! It was the sound and yoga class and was lovely. I've done a lot of yoga but I am not great at it (aka: very inflexible) but did not feel self conscious in the slightest and was a very down to earth experience. What stands out to me is their amazing customer service and elegant super user-friendly website and the fact that they offer pop-up package deals for those that cannot afford standard $ yoga prices (ahem, me sadly). They even offer yoga work studio trades where you help out a certain number of hours a week and get an unlimited pass (don't quote me on this but its something of the sort), which is always lovely when studios do this. They offer really good standard classes and super fun and unique ones like 420 yoga, glow yoga, art based creativity focused yoga, etc...and love the variety! My only suggestion is to perhaps limit the available spots, even if just by 5 less people because it was quite crowded which doesn't provide as relaxing of an experience. Also, they have the seemingly coolest retreats and just signed up for one!...

My friend has been going here for almost a year and is really loving it. I was in NY just for a few days and was invited to tag along. Dropped in on the dynamic flow class with Kevin. I'm almost six months pregnant and was anticipating not to be able to do much, but the class was extremely welcoming and Kevin repeatedly adapted poses for me. There is a lovely community feel with chants and breathing exercises beforehand which felt very grounding. Drop-in fees plus mat were $20, but first-time student monthly unlimited pass was only $40. Had I stayed a bit longer I probably wouldve taken that deal and come back a few more times. Lovely studio...
