Greenpoint Yoga

The studio is very warm and pleasant. It is hidden and tucked away. Fabrice is a very good instructor and his prices are insanely reasonable especially considering there is no mat rental fee. He adjusts the difficulty of the class depending on the level of whichever students are there that day. The studio is never too crowded which is really nice compared to Manhattan studios I have been to, and it means Fabrice pays close attention to every student. I think it’s good for both beginner and advanced yogis. Highly recommended!

I am fairly new to yoga, and so far Greenpoint Yoga has been excellent.
The instructor really cares about proper form and urges his students to pay close attention to breath and positioning.
The intro week pricing is a steal, and the regular pricing seems more than reasonable.
I’ll definitely keep going, and I’ve already recommended Greenpoint Yoga to friends and family.

Wow. I don’t even know where to begin.
This place is truly a hidden gem and a sanctuary. if you can look past the initial snap judgements you’ll likely have. Great vibes, quality classes, peaceful environment. Every time I walk out of this studio, I want to call all my friends to come check this place out. It’s not like any other studio; it’s not your typical trendy New York studio nor your hipster donation-​based social workout. It’s an actual yoga studio with an actual yoga teacher who really knows what he’s doing.
Fabrice is a super observant and attentive teacher. He incorporates yoga therapy into his classes and can figure out where your body is naturally slouching and figures out your strengths and weakness. He pushes you just enough. I always walk out of his class feeling like I’ve done or learned something new and that I’ve progressed in some way.
If you’re used to going to crowded classes where you don’t get any adjustments, I’d say go to at least one of the classes here to learn proper alignment, technique, and understand where and how to push your body. I’ve learned more about yoga in 2 classes here than I have in the 2 years I’ve been going to other studios. I did the intro deal for $ 25 (unlimited classes for a week) to check it out but now I’m sold.
I’ve been searching and reviewing yoga studios for quite some time and am so happy to find Greenpoint Yoga. Highly recommended.

I’m 35 and have never had a yoga practice and I just started taking classes at Greenpoint Yoga in January 2014. I’m very happy that I started here. The classes are small and I get a good amount of personal attention from Fabrice on proper positioning. The classes in the morning might be slightly noisy due to a day care but that makes the class more fun for you. The classes in the evening are peaceful and small and you are able to get personalized attention.
I started with the basic classes for a month to learn the poses and have a space where i could work through the pose positioning. From there I trickled into the flow classes and found myself better prepared to work through the vinyasa. I became aware that while the pose positioning is important, the development of awareness is even more important and tends to be what the yoga practice brings to my life.
I also prefer the consistent daily times for classes as that makes it much easier to plan my week around it. There are other schools in the area that do not have consistent schedules unless you are working through ashtanga; Greenpoint Yoga has the schedule that fits me as a beginner to the world of Yoga.
Lastly, Price. While it’s true that there are cheaper options; the class sizes and environment at Greenpoint Yoga make the price point a great value for what you receive. There isn’t a ton of marketing happening here; it’s pure yoga training.

Greenpoint yoga takes a holistic approach to the practice. It isn’t about a workout. It’s about thoughtful mindful yoga and Fabrice takes the time to make sure you’re doing each pose correctly. For instance I had no idea I was doing warrior 2 incorrectly all these years until going to greenpoint yoga. If you want to learn how to do yoga the right way and thoughtfully this is the studio for you. Also the classes are never enormous which allows for more personalized attention. I highly recommend Greenpoint yoga especially if you are really looking to learn the practice correctly and find relaxation and calm through yoga! I always leave feeling amazing!

A hidden gem. Never have I been to a yoga studio where I’ve been given the same amount of personal attention and encouragement. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to really learn yoga and improve your practice.

Greenpoint Yoga is a pleasure. As a beginner, the basic classes are extremely helpful for gaining an understanding of the basic poses. I wasn’t very well conditioned when I started but Fabrice is very good at identifying your strengths and weaknesses and helping you along in your practice.
Mats, blocks and blankets are available. The classes aren’t overfull, which means that the instructor is able to go around the class during the poses and make corrections to your form.
The practice opens and closes with a meditative perspective on our breath, body, and experience. I always leave feeling renewed.
Highly recommended!

I’ve been attending Greenpoint Yoga for the past year, and out of all the Greenpoint yoga studios — Usha Veda, Good Yoga, Hosh and Yoga for the People — I’ve found that this one is the best for the serious yoga practitioner. It’s a basic, no-​frills studio in the ground floor of a house, but Fabrice Carrier is an excellent teacher. My background is in Jivamukti Yoga, so I’m used to a more fast-​paced Vinyasa style — while Greenpoint Yoga is a little more on the slow side, no other teacher has helped me so much with my alignment and continually pushes me to do harder poses. Fabrice is very attentive and teaches a very hands-​on style which I find to be rare in yoga classes these days. Personally, I don’t see the point of attending a class unless the teacher gives you individual attention rather than just recite moves. I usually attend in the morning when there are only a couple of people in attendance. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get a private lesson, although now that I’m writing this review I’m hoping it will bring more business for Fabrice, lest I be selfish.

I am 70 years old and am very pleased to have found Greenpoint Yoga so close to my home. Fabrice, from Paris, is the teacher who was formerly a gymnast. This fact is extremely beneficial to all the students because he has been trained from a very young age in France in how not to injury the body. I felt this from the very beginning, which has been a great help for me to get back in shape through Yoga. Fabrice is a caring teacher with a good sense of humor. I have recently begun to take his private class since I do need some extra attention. His prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend taking his classes.

This is my first experience with yoga having been skeptical and unsure of it my whole life. I was nervous since I’ve never tried it, but Fabrice is super nice and encouraging. As a runner I was looking for something to balance out my workouts, but what I have found is so much more. The physical workouts are no joke but somehow I leave feeling relaxed and peaceful. I finally get what everyone has been talking about. I feel lucky to have found such a special place with such a wonderful instructor and I go every chance I get. The people who come here are also really nice! (also it’s not expensive, mats are free, etc etc… just go here, it’s awesome.)

This is the best yoga studio I have been to in a while. Fabrice is attentive and aware of your capabilty and pushes me to trust myself even more. A true teacher.

Such a great place to work on your practice! Small intimate classes call for serious concentration on each breath and every movement. Its not a place you are rushed into or out of. I found it hard to find a place where I could get attention from my teacher, be able to ask questions, give personal requests, and have fun! Greenpoint yoga is all that and more.
You start where you are, how you are.
Fabrice is an extraordinary teacher and his French accent makes it all that much more unique. I highly suggest you try it for yourself!

Fabrice is awesome. Very technical and not afraid to correct you and keep working to improve your form. After just three classes, I feel I’ve really ironed out a lot of bad habits. Rather than just talking you through the pose, which he does, he’ll point out minor ways you could optimize them.
This place is in its first year and is an undiscovered gem. Because of this, the classes are very small so you get A LOT of individual attention. Well worth a look, especially considering the price and class size.

I’ve been taking classes as a beginner at Greenpoint Yoga all summer and have really enjoyed my experience. I have definitely seen my practice improve over time. Classes are generally small so you receive a lot of personalized attention and all of the teachers are great at tailoring classes for different skill levels. I really like the laid back, pressure free environment of the studio– you do not have to be a professional Yogi to attend classes here– all levels are welcomed.

I have been practicing yoga on and off for years, but this studio is what really made a devoted yogi out of me. I have been going a few times a week since it opened 6 months ago. It is by far the best yoga studio I’ve ever been to and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Unlike other yoga studios where you have no idea if you’re doing a pose right, Fabrice will take a moment for each pose and point out finer things, like «Make sure you’re feet are parallel in mountain pose,» and «When you take a vinyassa, keep your elbows close to your ribs.» It’s a class where you actually learn how to do yoga. Shocking. It’s also inexpensive, clean, and casual, with free mat rental and the option to do yoga in the garden if everyone’s agreeable to it.

Four reasons to go (& for five stars)
* Lovely studio space with a large garden
* Flexible class schedule in the mornings and evenings + weekends
* Intimate classes (don’t go here if crowd surfing if your motive)
* Fabrice’s patient & tailored teaching based on your flexibility and skill level.
Having not done yoga for a long time, Greenpoint Yoga made me want to pick it up again. So sign up for the $ 25 «all you can eat» intro week and check it out.

This is a great yoga spot. I’ve been here a few different times now. Usually the classes are small, which can be beneficial to individualized instruction, if you like that. The classes I took are a mix of Vinyasa, Hatha and Iyengar. Honestly, if you are into the yoga-​pilates thing, the classes I took are not for you, though I’m not sure about their other classes. But, if you like a focused, well taught, deep, intense and spiritual practice then this is the place for you, especially on Monday nights. The atmosphere is intimate, with minimal outside noise disturbances. It’s close to the G train, which works for me. All in all, after 6+ years of yoga, I think this is one of the better studios I’ve been too.

I took an early morning class with Andrea and it was awesome! Nothing too difficult for such an early start and she was awesome with hands on instruction and making sure I was doing all poses correctly. I will def be taking more classes here, especially since it’s so convenient and inexpensive!
Pros: Location, cost, great teacher
Cons: would love some soothing meditation music during practice, street noise is a little distracting.
