Suryaside Yoga — Local services in New York

I am giving this place a negative review not based upon their classes, but upon their lack of respect and care they have for their customers. I recommend NO ONE STORE YOUR YOGA MAT HERE. I went there for my first (and last) time for a sound bath meditation which was absolutely divine. With that being said, I forgot my mat I received from my mother in law as a gift at the studio from being on my "yoga high". The next day I realized I had forgotten it and tried calling them. No answer. Tried emailing. No answer. I am not close to the studio so I figured they must leave their lines of communication through either phone or email like all other businesses- yoga studios alike. Apparently they do not because they never acknowledged me until nearly 4 days later. I had my sister who lives somewhat near the studio look for my mat for me and they did not have it in their sack of mats that have been left behind and told her it might be in the stack of stored mats but she couldn't get to them because a class was going on. Understandable. Also, they never told her that they would try to look after for me. (They had a photo and everything) So, I went to retrieve my mat today and wouldnt you know? NOT THERE NOT ANYWHERE. They helped me look, I'll give them that. Then told me they would send an email out asking about it. I find it very hard to believe a student would take my mat seeing as if theirs is stored there, they know what their yoga mat looks like and if they don't, no one would have known it was left unattended besides workers. I have been to so many studios in the tristate area and many people I know practice and I will absolutely, undoubtedly tell them to stay far away from this studio until I am compensated...

This studio is a wonderful and amazing place. It has such a warm and welcoming environment and everyone there is kind. Every teacher I've met and took classes here have been great and very welcoming and helping to make the most of my practice. It is a very nice place to practice yoga. Also all the work studies I've met so far have been so polite and very welcoming to me as I've come in to the studio. I try to take a class here as often as I can. I would recommend this studio to anyone looking to practice yoga in the Queens area. It is a great studio for the practicer...

I moved here from Manhattan and was worried I wouldn't be able to find a good yoga studio in the area, but I was 100% wrong - this place is awesome. All the teachers are warm, friendly and helpful, the clientele is diverse and everyone is respectful during classes. The open classes are catered towards a variety of levels and are taught in a very non-judgemental, easy going atmosphere. I went here throughout my entire pregnancy and post partum recovery and every teacher was incredibly accommodating. I just wish I could make more time in my schedule to attend...
