ID Hot Yoga Nomad — Local services in New York

This is my sanctuary. Took me a minute to find a clean, bright, spacious hot yoga studio with teachers who understand the body and have deep knowledge of the practice. The class if full of beginners and super advanced, and they are not pretentious - so don't be intimidated as a first-timer! I love how each teacher adds their own signature to the regular sequences which always keeps it interesting and challenging. They have a variety of offerings. The ID series: ID, ID Flow, ID Strength, ID+ are closer to 26+2, but each teacher puts their own changes on the sequence. Hip mobility & strength is one of my favorite esp as a runner: Most of the class is floor work with fantastic stretches for intercostal, hip flexors, iliocostalis, IT band and psoas which the best PT/massage/foam rollers in the world won't give you. The HIIT class is tough but will get your ripped in no time, it's basically high velocity high repetition yoga. Even though ID has a couple of locations, it doesn't feel like a corporate outfit, I think it's independently owned and operated. The instruction, cleanliness, temperature, sequences far outpace any other hot yoga studio in NYC in my experience (I have tried them all). You get mats & towels to rent or can also be a part of your membership. They have lovely clean showers. They have lockers. Yes, they are hot 40C...

Such a big fan of ID hot yoga! Each class has a range of opportunities to: build strength, stretch, restore, or enhance your practice. The instructors are exceptional offering superior guidance with just enough direction and choreography paired with their complementary background music. The infrared heat is a game changer; and, all classes end with a cold, infused wash cloth as well as with a no-rush to leave the room sentiment. The studio is large, clean, and well-situated on the corner of its building a few stories above street level providing light and blocking noise. There is ample space everywhere throughout to prepare for class or decompress after including a meditation zone. The bathroom/changing rooms are well maintained and include clean showers with wash products and personal storage lockers. I go to ID to extend my body, to get stronger, to recover or be better prepared to play soccer; as well as to free my mind, absorb the health benefit of the heat, and be a part of an inspiring community. I have never left a class and a Nomad studio visit with any regret. It’s an In Clark Kent/Out...

Best hot yoga in town! Such an amazing team and thoughtfully crafted studio - after trying many places in NYC and around the world, this will always be my no 1. Owners Tricia and Kelly clearly know what they’re doing and it shows in the space and every class. They have great amenities, super clean showers, towels, mats, water stations, extremely professional instructors and a cold lavender towel at the end of each class - truly...
