Greenhouse Holistic

This is a community like no other. There’s so much variety that it caters to most levels of yoga. The the massage therapy is top notch. It’s been the only place that has help with my shoulder pain. Other therapists at other places do not understand me and how I need to get the knots outs. But I have tried over 5 MTs at Greenhouse and I also left feeling back together again.

NEVER buy a gift voucher from this place!!! They could not read the number on their own gift card that I had received and charged my credit card without contacting me before. In order to make the reservation, I had to provide my credit card. Supposedly, they could not find any data in their computer and in my friend’s profile. We paid twice. Not worth it.

Beautiful practice space!
Very much enjoyed the 10:30 class on Saturday morning — the pace of the class was peaceful and relaxing and David (substitute instructor) was a patient teacher.

I have always had good experiences with my massage therapy at greenhouse, and shyama is exceptional. shyama is a gem — she is super intuitive about what you need, very knowledgeable about the underlying anatomy, and is willing to go the extra mile to help you with your aches and pains. you should absolutely request her !
moreover, greenhouse runs tons of promotions throughout the year so that massage therapy is more affordable and not out of reach for those who need it ! highly recommend for anyone in the Williamsburg area.

I no longer live in Brooklyn and I miss Greenhouse immensely.
Every single teacher is talented and knowledgable and comes with their own take on the style they teach, there are a myriad of class times/​types to choose from between the two locations, and every once in a while you can catch a class with only a few other practitioners.
I’ve tried many yoga studios in many locales throughout the world and Greenhouse still tops the list.
I also got a massage here once through a Groupon deal. The massage was lovely albeit a little distracting as you can hear the comings and goings on the other side of the door.

I have been going to Greenhouse Holistic many years for yoga. They have wonderful teachers and very affordable memberships. The owner has always made a point to have it affordable. The sauna has been enjoyed as well especially in the winter. Greenhouse also has a wonderful cozy space for massage.
I got an amazing deep tissue massage from Seungman yesterday. I highly recommend him to anyone with very specific needs and pain issues.

This review is for Lorraine the LMT on staff. Best massage I’ve ever had!
So I’m a massage snob — I work out a lot and I am training for an ironman triathlon — so I need someone strong and also gentle when appropriate. So I went to Lorraine and she is the very best. She communicates well, she is very relaxing and she knows what she is doing! Lorraine is extremely professional and knowledgable, she even gave me tips on posture to minimize my shoulder scrunching and showed me ways I can «reset» my shoulders on my own. I wish I lived closer so I could see her once a week.
Also loved the cucumber water and the sauna — great perks after a great massage.

This is for their massage spa portion. A friend of mine gave me a gift certificate here that I used for a massage with Ilya. It was great, I asked for a not so soft massage and I got it, he really went to town on my knots and it was great.
Nice chill atmosphere, clean and private. It was a great treat and will be going back for another massage with the same guy.

I feel as though I have been cheating myself for years by not frequenting this spa weekly. For years I have suffered back pain and leg pain, I work on my feet and lift heavy items all day and it’s just the nature of the beast. Now I feel as though my life may change.
For my Birthday this year my husband gave me a gift certificate to Greenhouse Holistic. At first I was thinking why didn’t he just get me a massage at Bliss or in the city somewhere at one of the major powerhouses where you can book online pay a fortune and leave feeling relaxed bc you have been listening to sounds of the ocean and seagulls. Don’t forget the water with cucumbers!!! As much as I love these places and the whole experience I don’t know if I will ever go back again after this.
Last night I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage with SAMANTHA!!! I specifically requested her after reading Unilocal reviews I never go in blind. Well everyone was right! Samantha is some sort of miracle worker. I carry all my stress in my shoulders and neck and my IT band seems to be some sort of a disaster. I frequently take yoga and kickboxing classes and I have noticed the tension has been affecting my practice. I am not gonna lie the massage hurt and I made Samantha talk to me during it because I needed to get my mind off it. She is the greatest and I forgot about the pain because we were laughing and joking the whole time.
I kid you not when I got up I felt like I was 16 years old. Not a pain anywhere and no sign of stiffness. I ran home and felt light on my feet. I woke up a few hours ago and the normal creaks and cracks I usually feel well they are gone. Just got back from a yoga class and my downward facing dog was on point. I feel like I can do anything right now. I cannot recommend Samantha enough, I truly haven’t felt this good in years!!! As soon as I post this I am going to call to book a massage for next week with Samantha!!!

I’ve been getting massages here for years-​mostly because I used to live in the neighborhood, & they offer occasional sales where massages are reasonably priced. My massage therapist Anne unfortunately moved, & I got a massage from Shyama, who is experienced, knowledgeable, sensitive, & I like just as much as Anne. Shyama checked in with how I was feeling/​the pressure/​etc., & gave me a great massage. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the receptionists are hit or miss-they’re either great or really terrible (leaving me on hold for a while, or taking my number & not returning my call, or just so new they can’t even check details in my account).

On a whim, I decided to check out Greenhouse. I was in need of a great massage. Not those soft frou-​frou kind. I love a deep therapeutic massage that hits on my vitaflex points. I was recently booked with a therapist, Samantha.
First off, she has the most awesome purple pixie hair! Secondly, she’s awesome, friendly, professional and had a great understanding of what I wanted and NEEDED! So I was ready for my massage with her. She explained what she would be doing and why it would help me.
Definitely a far cry from any massages I have had in the past. BTW, I get massages at least monthly for the past 6 years! This is a review from someone who knows how important therapeutic massage is!
I left after my 90 minutes feeling wonderful. Samantha also talked about her natural oils she uses. That Lavender was phenomenal and the oil she used, I don’t remember the name, didn’t leave a greasy mess! Win win for me!
Ask for Samantha! I certainly feel you won’t regret it!

Yesterday was my third time being at Greenhouse for a 90 min deep tissue massage and it doesn’t seem to ever disappoint! I am always able to book right away and the staff is very helpful. My massage therapist yesterday was Samantha and she was AMAZING! Very attentive to the issues I had going on and very professional. I had run 20 miles the day before so my legs were very sore and she hit everything that was bothering me which I find is very rare! She also had great technique, pressure, and was smooth with every transition. Never once did I feel uncomfortable or awkward or that I wasn’t getting the service I paid for. She went above and beyond I felt and I would HIGHLY recommend getting a massage with her! I will 100% be going back to see her :)

I was able to book a Deep Tissue massage same day, which was fantastic as I was in a lot of pain from a back injury. Mimi, my masseuse, was extremely attentive to my pain spots and responsive to my requests. She checked in with me on numerous occasions to make sure the pressure was comfortable and that she was working on the right spots.
Overall the staff was very friendly and on top of things. I would definitely recommend this place and will likely be going back in the future.
The only thing that could have improved the experience is if there was some music playing during the massage. It was the first massage I ever received in silence. But that is not a deal breaker, of course.

Went here for a 90 minute deep tissue massage. This was my first time going to this place. My therapist was a very nice woman, but unfortunately the massage simply didn’t suit my preferences.
A deep tissue is supposed to strong and work out knots and aches and pains. Believe me, I’ve had plenty of them so I’m using to feeling that firm pressure. I’m not sure if she was new or inexperienced, but I almost felt like she was afraid to touch me or something. Her handling of my body, when she was moving me in different positions, was so light and delicate that it felt almost ticklish. Very strange.
I did ask for more pressure once, and she did give that and worked pretty nicely on my back, but for the most part everything felt off. She used very little oil on me, so the strokes didn’t feel as smooth and for the most part, it was all too much on the surface. I didn’t really feel like I was being worked on.
This place seems to be rave reviews for massages, so It may just be that I didn’t get the right therapist for me.

The owner subsequently refunded me and offered a complimentary massage. Thank you for making things right, Greenhouse!

Pros-​two locations and classes that are not jam packed. All the teachers are very nice and focus on alignment and modifications. Each teacher has a distinct style as well. There is also a sauna which is great.
Cons-​I found the class length (1.5 hours) to be too long. While I appreciate setting an intention I found many of these classes had teachers who preached or read very very long poems at the beginning. Additionally there aren’t that many true vinyasa classes. Most focus on holding deep poses/​restoratives so if that is what you are looking for this would be a good location.

I love this place! Rebecca gave me the best massage of my life and needless to say I am completely committed to greenhouse holistic. Prices are really reasonable, facilities are what they need to be and everyone is kind. If you want a good Swedish I 100% recommend Rebecca.

The 90 minute hot stone massages are fantastic. I normally see Elaine as a part of my spa membership, and she’s fantastic. I saw Amanda for my last massage and she was great. She was very open to feedback, and invested in making sure that the pressure was what I wanted.
Always a relaxing and restorative experience at Greenhouse!

It’s been tough finding a good deep tissue massage for my ongoing back issues but this was just what I needed!
Ilya did a wonderful job getting deep into my troubling areas and I felt amazing afterwards.
Will definitely be booking another appointment soon.

**THIS REVIEW IS FOR YOGA CLASS**
I originally just walked into the Driggs Ave location enquiring about classes and I was given a FREE pass to come back and try the yoga class, so naturally I obliged. Who turns down a free yoga class? Not me fo’ sure…
The Driggs Ave studio is way bigger and so when I arrived to the Roebling St studio, I was a bit disappointed. I mean, the place was the size of a shoe box. Hey, listen, I am used to shoeboxes… but man oh man.
The front desk clerk was nice and checked me in quickly with my FREE pass. He did say I was pretty early (yes, I arrived 35 min earlier), but it wasn’t too awkward. He offered me some water, which was nice.
Yoga mats are $ 1 for rental, and you wipe them down when you are done and hang it up to dry.
I found the INTERMEDIATE VINYASA class appropriate for my level. Now, granted there were some poses in which I was confused, but it is only because I haven’t been practising those poses too much. I did enjoy the instructor and she was clear and good at instructions. The studio itself is a good size and there was only 6 students total, so lots of space to move around. This studio also has mirrors (which is rare), but the instructor didn’t lift the veil to allow us to look at ourselves and our alignment. She also brought her baby into to class, which was a nice addition and the baby not once cried, how awesome is that?
There is also a small changing area, bathroom, shower and a sauna. But prepared for very cramped quarters, but I’m not complaining, I am used to tight spaces. After all, I’ve been in NY for 10 years now.
Not sure I would visit again, but did enjoy the class and definitely I got a good workout! And all for FREE, so thanks GH!
