Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York

Sincere, real, down to earth place. The teachers know their subject incredibly well and are very helpful. I have been practicing Iyengar yoga in a number of studios for 25 years and this is the place I always return to, it's the real deal.

Now sharing space with the Integral Yoga Institute, the Iyengar Yoga Institute is one of if not the foremost place to learn yoga. Your practice will be elevated. It is not sweaty hot power yoga but it will challenge you nonetheless, and adding a clear level of thoughtful direction to any other practice you have will surely pay off. Even if you take one class and think "this is not for me" I encourage you to take a few more and absorb the intelligence in the practice. These are some of the most dedicated teachers you can find.

In over twenty years of practicing IYI has some of the best teachers I’ve ever learned from. As a Maine resident, I am very thankful for the zoom class offerings.

The only real, serious yoga method available in NY/United States,
with a serious and safe therapeutic approach. Rigorously trained and caring teachers. If you want to truly learn yoga and grow your practice, or heal from an injury or condition, there is no better, safer more professional place. Teachers and students form a caring community.

Iyengar yoga institute of NY is the best and only place in the city to attend unpretentious and anatomically helpful yoga classes. The teachers are serious and skilled and the space is great.

Amazing teachers online and in person and the institute is really unique in New York. I am lucky to be able to take these wonderful yoga classes.

The teachers here are so knowledgeable! Such a beautiful space. Take a moment to look into the bookshop downstairs as well, because they have some wonderful resources as well.

The Iyengar institute has been my spiritual home since I discovered Iyengar yoga twenty years ago.

This particular type of yoga is about alignment: alignment of the body, and the subtle sheaths of the body; the consciousness in harmony with the body.

I have grown more in my practice of Iyengar yoga than I have in any other endeavor, and it's an essential part of my life.

Particular shoutouts to Eve Holbrook, Bobby Clennell, Debby Green, and Hugh Millard.

They have some of the most amazing teachers, you will need to try few to see which one suits you, however they practice medical discrimination based on vaccination status, which is not aligned with Philosophy of Yoga, hence one star

Iconic new york institution.

I am so grateful for the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York. I have had the pleasure of working with a number of their teachers and they have all been experienced, wise and passionate.

I have been attending classes at the Iyengar Institute of NY for 20+ years and it has been a life-changing experience. I owe my physical and mental health to the miraculous Iyengar methodology.
The new location on East 13th street is wonderful. The teachers are the best. There are classes to suit all ages, all levels. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - THE BEST!

The instructor really took the time to understand my injury and go out of his way to tailor the class for me. It's been a great experience so far and looking forward to continuing in the fall.

Always the best
Edit: elaborating a bit in this, I've tried many yoga places in NYC and around the country, but Iyengar is bar none the best yoga (in my opinion of course). The instruction is very detailed with no BS. Whereas other places/styles are wishy washy with their poses and add a lot of hogwash, Iyengar is there to the rescue. I like to think of Iyengar as the Michelin star of yoga. Or put another way, what MMA is to martial arts, Iyengar is to yoga, the real deal. It helped me a few years ago with some back problems, whereas other places did next to nothing.
There's enough BS in the world, so do yourself a favor and do Iyengar yoga rather than some other random style of instruction. Try classes with different instructors to get a sense of why I'm writing this review. Some you will like more than others, but the essence will be there for you to discover.
