Sarai Yoga — Local services in New York

The teachers and instruction so far has been pretty high level. One teacher however, Samara it seems, took a quite rigid and exacting stance when I mistakenly signed up for a 10am instead of the 12pm class on the app they use. Rather than be a no show I opted to cancel the class and ask that they waive the $25 penalty fee when I arrived at the class I meant to book. She was clearly annoyed and didn’t want to waive the fee, though I’ve also paid for a month long package at the studio. I would get it totally if there had been a full class and my spot would have been taking someone else’s; but there were three people in the class I took. So I’m confused by the bad feeling and punitive approach she seemed to take, staring me in the eyes as if I was a naughty school kid. This feeling infused the whole class; definitely wont be going to the studio at noon on...

What can I say without going on for pages. I used to practice at this location before Sarai opened; and was so sad when it closed. Now, that Sarai has opened there is new life in the community. Sarai is the most welcoming yoga studio I’ve ever experienced, and the teachers are truly phenomenal. Not only are they experienced, but they are such great teachers - they go beyond giving instruction. Every class I learn something new, and every class I feel like I get better and closer to my own personal growth. Sarai is such an important part of the community, and so happy...

I LOVE THIS YOGA STUDIO.

I have been on the hunt for a new yoga studio for about 6 months now, and I must have gone through 8+ studios in this time. This yoga studio ticks all the boxes! They have the ideal balance of mindfulness and physical movement, challenge and ease.

Unfortunately, I'm actually Australian and I'm only working here for a few weeks so I'm trying to soak up as much as I can from Sarai. I've chosen to go to this yoga studio over sightseeing in my free time, and I have no regrets...
