Sacred Space Astoria — Local services in New York

I've been going to Sacred Space's yoga classes for almost a year now. I have also attended some of their workshops (Past Life Regression, Intuitive Development) and been in one of their Full Moon Meditation Reflections sessions. Sacred Space has amazing yoga instructors- Jen SM, Jen N, Ana, Alex and more. I enjoyed all of my vinyasa yoga classes and workshops. 100%. The space almost always exudes of peace and serenity. It's like there is always something to discover there, except it is the same space and it is just me who is changing. I have gotten a lot stronger through the yoga classes and I was able to explore and play with my intuition and inner wisdom at their workshops. I have not spent this much money on my own personal and physical development before, but I don't regret it at all! (Some of their workshops seem expensive at first, but I feel it is worth it.) The classes and workshops at Sacred Space just speak to me at a fundamental level at this point in my life that attending them is irresistible. Sacred Space is the best thing I've found since...

I've been going to Sacred Space for almost a year and a half now. They have amazing teachers and several different types of classes that I've really enjoyed.

However, after a recent negative experience I'm not sure if I feel comfortable returning to the studio. I arrived a little late to a class and wasn't allowed in. The man at the front desk not only showed a lack of empathy but was condescending in his tone. He claimed that I was "really late" and that every class always starts on time. I was about 6/7 minutes late which I wouldn't consider "really late", but that's not the point. I've attended a class where the teacher themselves was late and can think of at least one other class that started slightly late before.

I'm super disappointed because I usually arrive early and never have been late to a class. With all the things going on in the world, you'd hope that a yoga studio that's supposed to be a welcoming space would give people grace when life happens and causes you to arrive a few...

I took a Reiki Level 1 Workshop at Sacred Space, and it was truly incredible. I'm interested in Reiki for personal practice, but the workshop seemed perfectly suited for both beginners like myself, and those coming in to offer Reiki as a healing service. Kim and Gina were amazing teachers, and the format of the workshop was really well done. A great balance of material and practice. I had such an incredible experience (even over zoom!). I've been singing the praises of Reiki, and now many of my friends are interested especially during such a difficult year. So healing for the mind and body. I can't wait to take Level 2 (though as they mention during the workshop you're perfectly set to practice after Level 1), and join the weekly Reiki shares. I've also tried yoga classes at Sacred Space, and they're also very relaxing...
