Loom Yoga Center

Been going here for years, I couldn’t ask for a better studio! Quiet, clean, wonderful staff and great teachers. Also, the rates are SO reasonable for the size of classes. Totally recommended.

This is the first place where I’ve gone to do yoga consistently. The instructors there are always incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. I am a beginner, so I was unsure how steep the learning curve would be for this particular studio. However, I’ve been able to follow along at an appropriate pace. I especially enjoy community yoga on Thursdays, since you receive more individualized attention. The other yoga clients seem very warm and never seem to bring up any major issues during or outside of classes. Overall, this place is worth checking out. They even have a one-​month trial for $ 40 for unlimited yoga classes!

Had the pleasure of taking the 12pm Vinyasa open level class with Tara/​Maya??? I totally forgot her name but she led a great class. She started off byvasking if this was anyone’s first time doing yoga and if they have any injuries. I’ve been doing yoga for a month at the fitness center at my job so I’m aware of the movements and wasn’t totally out of sync with the class. It was nice mellow music with movements that were not rushed. She helped correct my form and others throughout the class. A small entrance where you put your belongings into a cubby, but make sure to leave your shoes outside. They offer loaner mats and blocks.

I took an open pilates mat class here, but I just didn’t like it. The workout was not challenging, and the mat seemed neither thick enough (they were all yoga mats, not pilates mats) nor clean enough. The room was way too hot with no ventilation, although there were a few fans going. The studio itself is located on a block that smells like nauseating industrial chemicals — strange, since I live down the block and only smell this stuff like right outside of the yoga studio. I want to like this studio, because I need a studio in my neighborhood, but I just can’t. Maybe I’ll like the aerial yoga classes better?

I just started taking classes here and I love it. It’s not too expensive, and it’s great quality classes. The open level classes are great for everyone because while I am new and stick to the easy stuff, other people go for full headstands which I can one day aspire to do as well. I’m a big fan!

I’ve been taking yoga for about a year at various studios. Just had my first class at Loom Yoga with Nicole. It was excellent. Personal attention, clean, challenging. I feel refreshed, calm, worked out and did I mention calm? I think the prices are very reasonable and the studio itself is spacious. Great work and please keep it up — the world needs more yoga. Cheers. Evan

Some friends and myself tried the aerial pilates. What an experience. Your muscles will be worked. The max is 7 people per class.

Love this studio. Great group of students and teachers, great variety of classes and styles, and constantly evolving to fit the needs of the local yoga community.

I work in the building, and am so thankful to have this yoga center as an outlet to maintain my balance and well-​being, which I then bring back with me into my office!
Diversity of classes, diversity in teachers, and just a nice, warm feeling every time I walk into the space has me coming back over & over again! HIGHLY recommended!

I’m really gonna miss Loom Yoga Center when I move back to California. No, they aren’t as cheap as YTTP, but their prices are about average for non-​YTTP yoga classes & they have one of the best introductory specials I’ve ever seen. The classes were all fairly small and all the teachers I’ve had gave a good amount of individual attention without interrupting the flow of the class. Also, and this was a big plus for me, none of the teachers I had played annoying pop music which made the classes feel more like yoga and less like some dumb yuppie fad. But the biggest thing I liked about this place was the sheer number of options they offered. Not only your standard Vinyasa class, but Ashtanga, Hatha, Iyengar, Pilates, meditation, and more that I can’t think of right now. I had a lot of fun trying them all out.

I loved my first yoga class with Andie Risato. She is an effective instructor and seems like a genuinely kind person. I’m glad I live close by and I will probably become a regular.

I am not a yoga person. However, I decided to give yoga a chance, again. I went to the Loom looking for an authentic practice and skilled teachers– and there I found it. Neely was my instructor for a basic level class and totally changed the way I thought about yoga.
Who knew I was doing it wrong all along! I started to going to more classes and began to see my flexibility grow. I also began to feel more confidant in class, I started to understand the sans script mumbo-​jumbo I once thought it was.
Now I see yoga on a much different level, I just needed the right instructors! I have attended a few classes and really enjoy that they have EARLY morning classes. So far all the instructors are great.
I also have used their massage therapist Beret who helped me heal from a neck/​shoulder injury. They hold lots of cool worksshops– I have attended the community acupuncture, Ayurveda immersion, Sacred Architecture and am looking forward to more of their programing.
This is truly a gem in Bushwick! Great community, clean calm space, great design and a lovely studio manager!

Best yoga place ever!

Absolutely love the new space. I have been coming here on and off for the better part of a year. I am not a total newbie, but still not at the advanced level. It’s extremely helpful to have great yoga teachers who guide you on poses and offer modified poses baed on your level of experience. they were one of the first yoga studios in the area and have always been consistently patent, kind, but still give you a great workout.

Yoga is a huge part of my life, that I take very seriously. I am not only a daily practioner but I am also a certified teacher. Recently moving to New York first and most important thing on my list was finding a studio that I felt comfortable and fulfilled, as far as my practice goes. I searched high and low between Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. Low and behold I would find what I was looking for right around the corner from where I live in Bushwick. Loom Yoga, not only has some of the best teachers that I have experienced here in New York, but also the people there are warm, friendly and very knowledgable. There is a wide variety of classes, Power yoga for women a must try, that are challenging, well rounded and leave me fulfilled every time I leave the studio. Give it a go if you are looking for an authentic, not watered down, yoga studio that make you feel extremely welcome. Also, I must mention the affordability of the classes, offering great package prices.

I love this place. Everyone is so nice. There are a vast number of teachers, all with their own style… I find it refreshing!

The class I attended was open skill level and everyone in attendance had obviously been doing yoga for at least 2 to 3 years already as there was not any need for the instructor to give us a modified version of any of the poses.
The poses we were doing ranged from beginner «cat cow» to advance «half moon» but the instructor didn’t let on that there was a level of difficulty to the latter making me think that a newbie would have been beyond lost in this class. I’m sure she assessed the skill level of the class rather quickly and made the correct judgement call so none of us would get bored and we would get our money’s worth for a good workout. The balance poses were all advanced level too.
The class sizes are small, there were about a dozen of us and we were cozy but it makes for the kind of class where everyone gets a little bit of special attention from the instructor.
It was special to be a part of a class that flowed through the poses together so well. As it was clear everyone in class had a yoga practice of their own the instructor talked us through a series of poses that were almost like a choreographed dance.
The studio itself is very clean and smells of essential oils, the floors are a highly polished hardwood, the center provides mats, blocks, and blankets but not water.
It’s also located in a renovated warehouse space with a lot of eclectic little shops in the building and apartments upstairs.
The reception area is across the hall from the yoga room. There is a long bench outside the yoga studio with cubbies for your shoes and purse and a coat rack for your coat.
Everyone who works here is down to earth like you would expect from a yoga studio! There is a calming, healing and welcoming energy and there is zero feeling of competitiveness, rather the kind of vibe that fills you with gratitude that such a place exists to calm the spirit and the body with a group of wise women who are there to encourage your yoga practice.

I have been practicing daily at Loom Studios since October 2010. I have visited other yoga studios, but here I feel like I have found home. All of the teachers, particularly Lily («Up Dog») Kardon, Maggie («Lion Breath») Jones, Megan, Lula, Veronica, Seth, Kathryn, Yehuda, Robert, Tonya… well, all of them, are exceptional sweet spiritual people. This is not your Park Slope yoga, packed to the gills. Classes seem to average around 5 – 9 people, so there is plenty of space to stretch out sideways. The instructors are gentle, and are more than adept at assisting in the micro-​adjustments that sometimes make all the difference when one is striving to perfect a given asana.
I cannot say enough good things about them. In this gritty industrial neighborhood, Loom keeps it real and keeps me sane.

I’ve been here twice before.
Teachers were proficient and friendly. I felt that I was given individualized attention and got my money’s worth.
My biggest complaint is that the studio can be noisy during daytime hours. It is located in an industrial area, and you can sometimes hear the traffic outside. Trucks rumbling by outside don’t lend themselves especially well to quiet mediation.
I think I’ll give them another shot. There are a wide range of class times available that can accommodate most anyone’s schedule.
