Keshava Radha Yoga

A few years ago I attended Bikram yoga for a few months. I enjoyed the heat but became too bored with the same old routine and poses.
In January, purchased a Groupon for 10 yoga practices at Keshava and Radha’s yoga studio. Both instructors are incredible. They are professionals who love to share their knowledge. The practices are unique, as they are never the same. The instructors are in tune with the students and tailor the class toward same.
While my body and mind are being challenged during the practice, I am a work in progress toward reducing stress and enjoying inner peace. I look forward to attending one — two practices daily. No better way to start/​end the day! Highly recommend anyone at any level, new or advanced, to attend a practice. You won’t be disappointed.

If you want to experience Hatha yoga with the mind body connection this is the studio for you. I have been doing yoga at various studios around boca for 10+ years and have not been so challenged like I have at Keshava Radha yoga. (A good thing) Keshava is very passionate about yoga and it shows. He wants to make sure you get the posture right for maximum benefit and you can feel the difference when you are doing the posture correct.
Studio is clean and intimate. I highly recommend you go here, it is amazing!

clean beautiful great instruction wonderful balance enchanting voice every class a little different welcoming calming
I learn so much and feel so good

Best yoga studio in South Florida! We met Keshava and Rhada in NYC and we are happy that they moved to Florida! Their classes really emphasize what the heart of yoga is, how to connect your body and your mind and how to apply it to your daily routine. If you are looking for a yoga studio, this is the place to go.

I am quite enamored of this little studio. It’s in a rather unassuming office building, but Keshava and Radha have created an oasis. It’s warm and welcoming and so are they. As a yoga teacher, I have a hard time shutting off my educator brain and just taking a class. However, both Radha and Keshava made it easy. Truly providing a format and structure where I did not have to think, but just do.
Sequencing and poses are slow and mindful. Their focus is definitely on relaxation and expansion, but don’t think that means it’s easy. I was challenged each and every class. I certainly learned something new and had sore muscles the following day — every time. And after savasana they come around with a lovely cup of tea. A great way to end the class and transition back into your day.
I know they are moving their studio in the coming months. I don’t know where that will be, but I am sure it will be a special place.

I found this yoga studio by purchasing a Groupon. I was bit nervous when I walked in since I saw the class already started and the Groupon mentioned that I needed to be there 15 minutes prior to class time. Radha was very kind and patience with me and informed me that I am still able to participate since I was only about 5 minutes late.
I would consider myself a very flexible yogi. In my 4 years of attending various classes of yoga this has to be my favorite. The reasons are, Keshava and Radha encourages you to push your limits. Some poses I thought was doing correctly throughout the years were incorrect, Keshava and Radha were walked around the class and helps students to correct their poses. They do not teach classes together, at least to my knowledge. However whoever teach’s the class will pay close attention to each student.
In my opinion again this is just my opinion, Keshava’s classes are little more difficult and you will need to hold posses longer. Radha classes are challenging as well however I feel more relaxed in her classes. There are more students in Keshava class than Radha’s. I feel as though my endurance has grown from practicing at this yoga studio.
I love how they end their classes. Both teachers always end the class with amazing meditation and warm cup of tea. I look forward to their tea all the time. It does relax me after great yoga session.

I finally found a yoga studio that I can get behind. I have tried for years to see what the lululemon mafia was all fussed about when it came to Yoga. In my mind, if I am not blowing through 100 calories per hour, I am just not sure its worth my time. People raved about flexibility etc, but I just could not really feel any difference.
Then, my friend introduced me to Keshava a few months ago and I really loved it and finally got it! To those who have said that this is not what they expected of ‘classic’ yoga and want to do sun salutations ad nauseum, then yeah this is definitely not it.
Whats working for me:
1– This is actually hard… not like the typical ‘stretching’ yoga class or the dehydration inducing Bikram. I really loved how we held poses for a long time. I feel my muscle working and struggling the whole time. It is strangely relaxing to just breathe through the discomfort and recognize your body getting stronger. It may also feel harder since they actually adjust you into the right position for the best impact and stretch. No more cheating!
2– There is a strong focus on meditation… if I am not going to be blazing calories, I had better at least leave relaxed, at peace, mentally cleansed. Many classes I’ve tried while doing a thousand down dogs and salutations never left me feeling this good. Keshava’s voice is crazy relaxing. I’m slightly addicted.
3– The price… $ 15 for 90 minutes! Sign me up! They also offer package deals for an even lower price
4– No two classes are alike… I learned so many new poses in one of these that I had never gotten in the various failed attempts I’ve made to like yoga previously. I love how I am pushed.
Keshava’s style is to be serious about yoga but to not take yourself too seriously. He is lighthearted and I love how just when you’re at the moment of breaking a pose, he cracks a joke that makes you smile through the pain. If you take yourself too seriously, this may not be for you.

I think the below reviews are quiet deceiving, so here is my take.
I bought a Groupon deal for this place and what I experienced here was not yoga in a classic sense. It was a mixture of martial arts and yogic philosophy and movement mixed all together. The philosophy was there but the presentation was rather presumptuous and arrogant. Breathing instructions and sequencing were random without structure. There were about 10 – 15 poses that we were instructed to hold for minutes at a time and had to repeat it. No sun salutes, no ujjayi breathing, no warm-​ups. There was no room for modifications and we were never asked if we had previous injuries, etc. The class was done in «drill sergeant style» with dharma-​talk like monologue by a teacher who is a lovely and kind «diamond in a rough» with good intentions.
The poses we did were not difficult, but the class was intense because we had to hold static poses for long periods of time and I also didn’t particularly care for the constant adjustments throughout the class.
There was adequate time for shavasana and relaxation with appropriate music, but after the class I just didn’t have the usual relaxed feeling I normally experience after yoga classes.
If you are new to yoga star out at any YogaWorks, OM or Jivamukti, they all have a well established system to teach yoga.

This place is wonderful. Keshava is soooo nice and patient. I went as a new yogi and he was very helpful in showing (and helping) me assume the correct postures. He throws in some comical comments to break up the seriousness of what’s going on – for example, he told me he said to do down dog, not the chihuahua I was doing. LOL
I think I have found the best yoga spot for me. Also, each session isn’t the same, which is what I like. {two thumbs up} :)

I’ve only been to yoga a few times, but this place has definitely been awesome. My instructor everytime has always been Keshava and he is super patient and helpful. If you can’t do something, he’ll help you out, but he’ll also try to push you if he thinks you’re just being lazy and not doing the move properly. They do hatha yoga here, which is a little slower paced than vinyasa, which is a bit slow for me, but it still gives me a good work out and is nice for relaxing in the evenings since that’s the only time I can come to class.

We found this studio with an AmazonLocal deal and it was an amazing find. $ 40 for 10 sessions within 3 months. We were totally smitten after the first class. Keshava is amazing — he is a supportive and hilarious instructor who really knows yoga. The class is focused more on breathing and holding poses than on movement, but it was still an excellent workout and I’d often be a bit sore for days afterwards. The classes were always packed — that might have been because of the deal, but there were also quite a few repeat customers. Two other awesome perks are that they provide the yoga mats which just makes it so easy and such a pleasure to go. They also give out green tea at the end of class. Awesome awesome awesome, can not recommend this place enough. We have continued to go beyond the AmazonLocal and will continue to choose this spot for yoga.

I’ve been practicing yoga for over 10 years, but I never knew yoga until I started practicing with Keshava 6 years ago. He is one of the most knowledgable, skillful, and caring teachers I’ve ever met. Practicing with him deepened my practice and changed my life truly. I was never very strong or athletic and suffered a lot from back pain. I never thought my body could do or feel the way it does now.
The physical and mental strength I have I owe so much of it to Keshava.
The spiritual essence of yoga is deeply felt here. I LOVE it here and recommend it very very highly!

It’s important that I always learn something in yoga and so far, it’s been a learning experience. I left the other studio because the open class is just rote sun salutation (which I’ve memorized and can do on my own) and is taught by junior instructors. I think it’s good to do studio hopping at first to understand what you like and what works for you. I like the green tea afterwards because it’s soothing and a good end to the session. The classes are challenging mentally and physically. I’m glad I bought the package.

An intense little class! At first, the room seemed overly packed and a little funky– happily, they opened a window so that really helped. Overall it felt like a good work out, and the instructor seemed very nice.

I have been on a journey trying different yoga studios. Keshava Radha definitely stands out among the crowd. I would go so far as to say they have a proprietary style. It is a place to relax and deepen your practice, not just work your muscles (you won’t find deep flow or power vinyasa here). You will learn the proper way to breathe and align movement to that breath. It is DEFINITELY a worthy place to go.
The only things I am not a fan of are: 1) the location — in an office building in an alley-​like side street full of garment wholesalers, sandwiched between Herald Sq. and Times Sq. This is pretty much my main gripe: it’s in the armpit of Manhattan.; and 2) I wish the cost was a bit cheaper considering they lack many amenities (especially the teacher training, which is Really outpriced compared to many studios I’ve researched, including fancy and boutique ones).

Great class and good for beginners. Instructor is funny. Hopefully I won’t be aching too much the next day. Relaxes the mind and spirit. Would go again and definitely recommend a friend.

I just found a yoga home after studio hopping in Manhattan! Keshava Radha Yoga is a studio with no pretensions, no competition, a welcoming community and amazing teachers in Keshava and Radha! Classes are informative, unique, fun and engaging. They truly observe the students and make adjustments so we get the full benefit of the pose. And they serve tea after class!
I agree with the rest of the Unilocalers. Fantastic yoga classes.

Keshava is an amazing instructor.
The classes here are different from most in the city, they are slower paced and you tend to hold poses for long periods of time really pushing yourself.
Keshava walks around adjusting each and every student, making jokes and really just creating an amazing experience. You will leave this class sore and feeling amazing!

I bought a Groupon for 5 yoga classes (only $ 20!) and recently attended my first class, a 90 minute session.
The space is nice, the music playing in the background is peaceful and well-​timed, and the instructors have a great sense of humor. If you’re someone who hasn’t done yoga in a while, be prepared for an intense session. You’ll be asked to breathe deeply and push yourself in maintaining the poses. The instructor tended to break tension by making jokes which helped a lot; I found myself laughing as much as breathing deeply at times.
What I loved about the session was that there was a lot of breathing and meditation integrated into the practice. It wasn’t just about the poses; as the instructor said, «I want you to smile in the midst of all the pressure, because that’s what you’ll be asked to do in life.»
I agree with other Unilocalers who noted that it won’t matter if you’re a beginner since the instructor goes around adjusting your posture. As the classes are kept small, it never feels too crowded and the instructor is always very attentive. I also never felt self-​conscious.
Your muscles will be sore the next day, but it’s well worth it. At the end of my session, laying down finally was bliss, and I felt like I had earned it. You’ll leave feeling like a warrior, simultaneously rejuvenated and calm.
The green tea (already hot and made to go) is such a nice touch at the end of the class too. I am looking forward to going back!

I only have positive thoughts for Keshava Radha Yoga. A simple and humble space (that’s all you need!), Keshava and Radha create an environment in which to relax and practice the purest form of Yoga.
I always leave class feeling energized and radiant, even on my toughest days. Class sizes are small and personalized (no you will not be mat to mat with your neighbor) and each student is assisted and adjustments made as necessary (oh, I was crooked doing downward dog this entire time??) Under Keshava’s guidance, I trust that I am learning the correct form for each asana and he’s constantly pushing us (safely and within our own capacities) to stretch ourselves (ha, yes pun intended) to our maximum potential.
Perfect for beginners and seasoned yogis alike. Meditation is also offered weekly in addition to other in-​depth workshops.
If you’re looking to escape the yoga «scene» and have a personal, guided yoga practice — I invite you to give Keshava Radha a run. As much as I want to keep them all to myself, I can’t help but spread the love :)
Hari Om!
