What People Are Saying About The Yoga Institute & Bookshop
The Owner
The Yoga Institute & Bookshop
Owner
We have a wonderful selection of spiritual books and relaxation/meditation tapes. We also carry zafus and zabutons (meditation cushions and mats), 100% cotton yoga T-shirts and stretching mats (sticky mats) for hatha yoga. Due to the desire to maintain a medititative environment for the yoga practice, the bookstore is not open during classes.

In Short – The serenely simple space of the Yoga Institute and Bookshop offers an uncluttered and comprehensive selection of books and tapes on yoga, meditation and all things spiritual. Yoga mats and some paraphernalia are also available, but only what's absolutely necessary. The Institute offers a variety of classes taught in the anusara yoga style, which is described as "flowing with grace and following your heart."
peaceful setting
by percivalblack
The teachers here are hitt and miss, and the class schedule is not very good. It is hard to pay at the right time. Yoga teachers seem knowledgable, though some talk too much.
I would go to this studio if it offered more classes.
- Pros: peaceful classes, nice people
- Cons: limited schedule
Need More Variety for Class Times
by midtownfoodie
The Yoga Institute is a great place to practice Anusara yoga, however they are very limited in tehir class times. They offer no Friday, Saturday afternoon, or any Sunday classes. They only offer an advanced class twice a week. The yoga instructors are a hit and miss. The owner is the best teacher but the others talk to much and do not necessarily give the greatest classes. The prices have considerably increased since the renovation and there has not been any class schedule expansion. Despite all this it is a very warm and friendly environment to grow your practice.
- Pros: friendly environment, not overly crowded
- Cons: limited classes, high cost
Highly recommended!
by sandyfeet
Being a yoga beginner I have found the instructors here to be very encouraging and patient, they are kind and loving and obviously enthusiastic about their yoga practice. I wish the Yoga Institute had more variety in the times the classes are offered. I understand they are going through a complete renovation and enlargement of the space so maybe more classes will be offered in the future.
- Pros: Wise Instructors, Central Location, Calm Atmosphere
