Tom Brennan’s class is, as he refers to it, a “moving meditation “. He guides us through each pose pairing the breath, to promote focus, flow, and oneness. A communal energy in the class makes this a profound experience.

Perfect pace multi-level class. I prefer a 75-min class and this class had well-balanced segments, never feeling rushed. Only my second class with this teacher and I found the instruction very clear and easy to follow with at least one new flow I hadn't had in other Level 1/11 Integral Yoga classes.

It has been quite a long time since I have practiced yoga and I decided to go back to IYI, the original place I used to go for peaceful yoga practice, many years ago. The Level 1 with Healing Sound class with Subrah was exactly what I needed to get reacquainted with the benefits of Yoga.

My niece also joined me as a newbie and she was very happy with the experience as well. Knowing that I was beginning again and that this was my niece's first time, Subrah was very supportive and helpful to us throughout the class. IYI is a very special place that really assists in connecting you to your inner peace. Thank you!

My session with Yamuna was really great! She is a thoughtful, gracious instructor.
She demonstrates the different ways that one could make a pose, allowing for differences of body type and abilities. She's also generous with personal feedback after the class. I have now had three classes with her, and plan to take her class whenever possible.

I am a relative newcomer to yoga, but I have taken many classes with many instructors. I find this studio to be absolutely stellar. Their instructors are simply on another level. The space is a true sanctuary and is an institution in the city. Even though I’m generally the least capable student in the class, I’m always met with caring and acceptance by the people there. Whenever I’m in NYC, I try to stop in for a class and always leave feeling better physically and spiritually.

On 2/3 i participated in class for Introduction to Pranayama: The Foundational Integral Yoga Breathing Techniques provided by Federica Lari. It was great introduction, Federica explained the impotence of correct breath in such a good and clear way and after that she showed us techniques and corrected if we did something wrong. I felt so good after class and definitely will continue to use knowledge that I learn. Federica is a very knowledgeable instructor. Thank you very much Federica. Natasha Khesin

I started shopping here when they first opened and folks worked for free to balance their karma. I have always loved Integral Yoga because of their integrity and great bulk and produce selections. The deli is great as well. I used to travel all the way from the Bronx to shop here. The closing of this store was most unfortunate. I almost feel betrayed. I am certain that there are many people who wish they were still open.

From the moment I walked in I was made to feel comfortable by the lovely woman in the gift shop. She answered all of my questions and made me feel very welcome come. I went up to the studio and and it was just beautiful and very clean. The instructor was absolutely fabulous. I took a Yin Yoga class and will most definitely be going back again and hopefully to practice other forms of yoga. She was so helpful showing me variations that were for my body. She even helped me after the practice was over. I give Integral Yoga 10.stars, especially my instructor.

If you are considering Yoga Teacher Training with Integral Yoga Institute please note my experience:
I filled out the application and provided references,two of my favorite yoga teachers; then after a few phone calls i scheduled an interview with Rashmi, one of the two main teachers.
I interviewed with Rashmi for perhaps 45minutes maybe a little more and she recommended that I take a class at Integral before she made a decision. I took level 1 class that evening and I got an email saying that i was admitted a few days later.

The next sessions met on the following Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 10-6. these were eventful informative and chock full of information and activity. In the chanting session, I was partnered with a strong chanter to work with me because my chanting was weak. All good.
On Monday September 18,2017, Ii took a level 1 class at 4;30pm and was scheduled to attend the first anatomy portion of the Teacher Training at 6.
Kali and Rashmi were waiting to speak to me after the level 1class and we went into an empty yoga room; Kali informed me that they (Kali and Rashmi) had decided to "withdraw me from the program" I was stunned! They refunded my money and sent me on my way.
After a good cry in my husbands arms, wondering what i had done wrong.. I sent them an email asking humbly "is there a lesson here for me" "and did they tell the class that I'd left not by my my choice" they responded"Dear Odella, We immediately informed the class that we had made the decision to withdraw you from the program.In response to your question about a lesson for you ,we would say ,it is always important to realize that the universe is giving us what we need.Sometimes what we need is not always what we want.." No indication whatsoever that i had done anything wrong! Basically they just didn't like me and there was no reason to be around me if they didn't want to.
I responded by saying that in response to their solicitation of feedback from the class as to ways to improve the program i suggested "they include compassion in their treatment of their students. From kindergarten to graduate school there is no instance where a student is expelled without warning or reason (absent violence or plagiarism )its the compassionate thing for a teacher entrusted with the mind ,hear,and spirit of a student to treat that student with compassion and care. A kind teacher give a student a hand up and a great teacher appreciates her students and their feelings.
Instead they treated me with callous contempt for my feelings as a fellow human being.
Later i got an email basically saying that their experience shows that if they warn a student then they have to contend with anger so they have devised this method of blindsiding them to avoid such a thing. Kali in particular seemed proud of this, by way of defense when she expelled me she noted that i wasn't the first that she did this too. Well i hope i am the last!!
When i got this second email i responded that what I had realized is that I was the only African American person in the class and apparently that was one too many. Since i still do not have one single clue as to why the expelled me , that is the only conclusion to be drawn. There are few African American yoga Teachers and i trust that none have been certified through Integral and now i know why..
They seem to be firm in their policy of not giving a reason or a warning and i suggested that they state that policy in the application because as it stands they ask a commitment from the student of heart, mind, body, time and money yet their commitment only extends until they go in the bathroom and do some whispering and come out with a decision that you're not "right for the club". Mean Girls in grown up bodies and in charge.
So if you are considering Teacher Training at Integral yoga ask a LOT of questions before committing your precious and vulnerable heart.
And if you're considering Yoga Teacher training and you don't want any Black people in your class this is the one for you.

Excellent. I bought beautiful beets and I wondered out loud to the young woman as the cash register what do I do with the dark green leafy part which looks stunning and I felt lost -- only at Integral Yoga in NYC would you get such a loving response -- loving towards the beets and the green part and towards a human in this case me! She recommended several different ideas on how to use the beautiful green part.

Manu Dawson is there on Wednesday later afternoons to give insight, thoughts and ideas and health. I have known Manu for I am guessing 33 or 34 years. Great guy, very intelligent, insightful, compassionate and kind.

I also checked with the "deli" counter which serves vegan and veg and asked if their soups are oil free and they are!

Excellent place and kind sweet staff members!!!!!!!!

I have been practicing yoga at IYI off and on (sometimes with very long stretches in between) for over 15 years. I have taken yoga classes many other places and always come back here. The instructors are nearly all of very high caliber and the physical environment is very conducive to a positive experience. There is generally a nice balance between picking apart the intention behind the postures and keeping things moving. It is true, as some reviews have stated, that the offerings are not of the absolute most vigorous and athletic variety. However, if you are seeking to tone your mind and spirit along with your body, this is a great place. IYI is one of the only places in this city where I have been able to experience a true respite. Thank you for being there. I hope you always are.

I've patronized the Integral Yoga Institute (IYI) facilities for over 30 years. The IYI is a national treasure that has continually provided spiritual guidance in the wake of the materialistic avalanches of New York City and beyond. The IYI is as vital as air in the human struggle not to succumb to the enticements of unbridled materialism. Calm, compassion, honor, respect, service, humor and intelligence are some of the many gifts that IYI generously provides to those visiting it. The IYI comes amazingly close to being a buddha in institutional form.

I've been coming to Integral Yoga for years. I feel they have remained
true to the original ideal of Yoga - creating a balance between
body, mind and spirit which is what I certainly need. I find it a warm
and accepting oasis in the heart of NYC, not to mention all the
workshops, on health, spirituality, nutrition with amazing instructors.
Great natural food store and apothecary across the street.
So glad you are all there.!

Arguably one of the most LOVED places on Earth. Integral Yoga maintains the beautiful practice taught by Swami Satchidananda. There isn't much I can say aside from what the website could tell you- if anything written there resonates with you then I recommend you opening your heart to Integral!
I began at Integral through karmic service, went to workshops, and then finally took a class. I slowly exposed myself to what I could receive from Integral and I'm grateful that I did because I've built a new sense of who I am within myself during my time spent here. It's easy to build a community in a place so accepting!

Old school health food store. No crap, just real food. No organic Oreo like cookies like the Whole Foods monster that put most places out of business.. Only organic produce. Packaged, refrigerated, frozen products. A good bulk section including some spices and miso (they already packed for you). You can get some stuff for less other places, but here it's all in one place, except the books next door and supplements across the street.

Really mild beginner's yoga - even the most advanced classes are quite slow. This makes it accessible to people of all ages, levels, and abilities. But to practice here you have to really understand the mental challenges of yoga - you will need to practice patience. I mean, really slow. Physical fitness is last on the agenda here - it is much more about connecting mind with body and taking each pose very carefully and gently.

They have a very set method that opens and closes the same way with each instructor. This involves chanting in Sanskrit (everyone else seemed to know the mantras) and eye yoga. Overall a good experience but wouldn't satisfy my longer-term expectations of staying in shape through yoga.
