Went for mat Pilates with Marsha and left feeling super challenged and was a great start to my day! The instructor had a great slow burn routine and the playlist was fire. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

Loved Pilates with Daniela— it was a demanding class that worked deep muscles and focused on build up and holds, meaning it was calm while invigorating. The studio is spacious and a great vibe.

So grateful to have found my mat pilates and yoga home in my neighborhood! The teachers are uniquely themselves in their approaches, but all equally talented, attentive and supportive. The space itself is clean and the environment is calming. I leave classes feeling grounded, stronger, and healthily challenged. I have seen so much growth and found a lot more confidence in both my yoga and pilates practice since joining this sanctuary.

Vessel has completely transformed my practice. When I first started coming to classes, I had very little experience with yoga or Pilates, but it quickly became a huge part of my life thanks to the supportive community and knowledgeable, kind teachers. You can feel how much Vessel truly cares about its members, and I’m so grateful to be part of this space.

I recently attended a power flow yoga class with Kelsey B, and it was absolutely amazing.
What truly stood out was the thoughtful balance – there was ample time to move slowly and intentionally through postures, allowing for deep stretching and alignment, as well as opportunities to truly flow through sequences, building warmth and energy. The environment so welcoming and peaceful, making it easy to sink into the practice.
Left the class feeling rested & centered- this class truly delivered on both power and peace. Highly recommend!

For both my pregnancies I have gone to Vessel for prenatal classes and they’ve been so AMAZING. So grateful for incredible instructors and for their gentle approach to mamas both pre and post natal. Even in a class, I felt so much 1-1 attention. My body thanks you!

i am new to the area and an intermediate yogi (who just had surgery ☹️) and so i decided to check out the studio closest to me. i took the intro package (great deal btw) and took three classes. two of them were with kelsey for slow yoga. kelsey is a great instructor, she provides alternative postures and also allows you to go at your own pace. her music sometimes gets quite sad but it’s a very calming and restorative environment. during the vinyasa she walked with incense and cleansed us. she allowed and encouraged movement. i will be taking a class w her again!

however the reason i am writing this review is ultimately because of kelsey’s candor after class.

admittedly i am a plus-size woman and tend to not feel super welcome in fitness spaces. after class i awkwardly asked kelsey if there were any plus-sized instructors at this studio. she admitted that there wasn’t but it is something she is cognizant of and desires to build a more inclusive space. she admitted to me that it is a place she wants the studio to grow in. overall, i was not just impressed with the instructors knowledge, and warmth but also her humility. thank you kelsey!

only one star off because of lack of plus-size instructors but everything else is great

I loved my first class at Vessel! The space was warm and inviting, and everyone was so friendly. Christina’s Power Yoga class was absolutely great and challenging in the best way. I got an amazing stretch, and my legs were quivering on the way home (also in the best way!). I will be returning!

Absolutely love this place! Tried it out through ClassPass about a year ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. This is honestly the first time I’ve ever wanted to show up for class every week. Jessanya’s Paloga class is next level – I leave each class feeling both grounded and unstoppable. Im literally in the best shape of my life! Plus, Jessanya is just an amazing human – so fun, caring, open, and welcoming. If you’re looking to feel like the strongest and happiest version of yourself, this is the place!!

Immensely grateful to vessel for creating the perfect space for peace!

I always feel ~rejuvenated and blissful after leaving her classes ~ come here for your next class!

Really really grateful to have found this gym. I don’t know how I existed without yoga for so many years. The classes are amazing, challenging and significantly improve my body and soul. Riki, Jessanya, and Claire are amazing teachers. Each one has their unique style and strengths. Judy’s class is great for muscle recovery and one of the best stretches I ever did in my life was one that she taught.

After going to Vessel Studios consistently for a few months I had a two week break without any classes. My mood and motivation waned. I felt depressed and knew exactly what was missing from my life. One day back and I know that this studio is the key to my strong mind and body.
Love this studio. So grateful it exists.

Vessel studios is where it’s at. An inspiring, and safe environment for everyone to move freely and come back to themselves! Jessanya’s PALOGA class has been a game changer for me!! With the perfect mix of Pilates and Yoga, and Jessanya’s calm and loving spirit leading the class, I feel like a new woman every time! I leave feeling energized and empowered. And now, PALOGA is my favorite form of exercise! I would highly recommend going to Vessel Studios if you’re looking for classes that will uplift and challenge you!

Jessanya is amazing! I love her fun quirky energy, she channels it into the Pilates workouts making them intense and fun. I left feeling good and got a great workout in as well even though it’s low intensity. I love that modifications were given for times where the burnn was challenging! Will love to come to class again with Jessanya. Loved the space as well!

I truly love this gem of a studio. The studio is located in crown heights off eastern parkway. Once you walk into the cozy room you immediately start to relax and appreciate the streams of light coming in. My teacher Dia was incredible. She created an amazing flow with the perfect balance of support, stretch, and cardio. I left the class feeling energized and a little sore which is exactly what I love 💕

Vessel Studios is the place to work out and feel empowered. Caitlin is my favorite pilates teacher!! She is very welcoming, engaging, and helpful throughout the class. Her whole body mat workouts are high intensity, low-impact. She offers modifications for advanced moves and makes sure you're getting the work done all while protecting your body. I absolutely love her energy - she'll push you through the class and you'll feel stronger for it. If you want a challenge, this pilates class is it! It's worth the burn.

I've tried so many yoga studios in Brooklyn and Vessel is by far my favorite. The classes are all one hour with mats provided. The classes range in intensity, but are all facilitated in an inclusive and fun environment. The yoga pilates fusion class with Jessanya is great, if you are looking for an energizing workout!

I love it here! I typically take classes with Leah on Tuesday nights. It is the perfect session for both winding down after a long work day and opening myself up for the week ahead. At vessel, the instructors pay close attention to breath and how to best utilize it in our movements. Leah is always prepared to lead classes of varying skill levels and expertly creates environments where anyone can feel safe and attended to. An awesome place to build your practice with pros that care!

Super cute studio in Crown Heights. I have taken Carlene's restorative class and it's exactly what you hope to find in a restorative; the atmosphere is calm and candlelit, her voice and energy are soothing and instructions are clear so you can stop thinking and just release. I have also done some private sessions with Carlene and she has a great flow and lovely closings with parting thoughts and visualizations. She adds variety without making it confusing. I really enjoy both Carlene and the studio. I also attended a meet and greet after they opened and met my acupuncturist there. ACU for Athletes, also right in the neighborhood, and he's awesome.

I am usually very hot and cold when it comes to yoga. I decided to try the open flow class with Riki and I was so completely nourished and excited after the experience! It felt welcoming, accesible and even encouraging to me, as a self identified ‘non yogi’. I loved the flow of the class, Riki’s guidance and the feeling of the space as a whole - open, clean, safe and relaxing.
I can’t wait to go back.

I had not been to a yoga class in years and came for a private ceremony blessing my niece on her journey to motherhood. The studio is beautiful and has a real soul. Rikki is a gifted teacher and she made me and all of the attendees feel successful in our practices and welcomed in her world. I would travel from Manhattan to Crown Heights for her class.

I have lived in Crown Heights for years and have struggled to find the right yoga studio for me. After a random Google search for “yoga near me” to see if there was anywhere I hadn’t yet tried, I came across Vessel and it’s been my local go-to studio ever since. Riki has created a warm, non intimidating environment for all levels of practitioners. I’ve been practicing yoga for over 10 years and I feel appropriately challenged, even while practicing alongside beginners. Riki’s classes are dynamic and accessible and she brings such a joyful authenticity to her intelligent sequences. Come for the clean, peaceful space that smells like heaven, stay for the juicy hands-on adjustments.

I’ve been to many different yoga classes and none compare to Riki’s! The studio is absolutely beautiful and smells great :). She has a wide range of different types of classes- I tried a few and enjoyed them all! I even went to a Mommy & Me class with my 5 & 9 year old and we had such fun! They can’t wait to go back.
Riki pays attention to the students and helps us make adjustments and also comes around and presses on our shoulders or hips in certain poses and it’s absolutely delicious 😁.
I highly recommend Vessel Studios to literally everyone. I just bought another package of classes and am looking forward to every single one!
Thanks Riki ♥️🙏🏻

Where to start? Riki and the vessel team completely transformed my yoga experience. Prior to practicing at Vessel I was intimated of yoga and quite frankly not doing it correctly. Vessel studio is a lovely space filled with helpful teachers, friendly people and learning experiences for all. The welcoming energy allows me to relax and focus on my mind, body and soul. I highly recommend giving Vessel a try! I am so glad there is a place like this in Brooklyn. Thank you Riki and the Vessel team ❤️
