Yoga Union

Wonderful, quiet, soothing. The teacher Alison west is a gentle giant.

She teaches very effective yet gentle yoga technique, and best of all she does it with a smile.

I love Yoga Union!! I'm so happy to have a local studio offering in-person and streaming classes. All of the teachers I've taken classes from at this studio are excellent, and there is a wide variety of class styles available for days when I'm feeling more athletic vs. restorative. One of the best yoga studios I've been to over the years.

I was referred my my spine doctor to Yoga Union in November 2018 for pronounced scoliosis. I have been attending weekly classess since then. I visited my doctor this January, and he could not believe how improved I was. Said the scoliossis is not visible at all from the front. I have taken a weekly scoliosis basics class with Jamison. I had never taken yoga before, but they were able to integrate me easily. They are great at accommodating all levels of experience and differing needs. The staff is truly dedicated, which is so important for this type of therapeutic yoga. Positions are critical, and Jamison makes sure that each person in the class is positioned correctly. In addition to improved appearance, my back pain is dramatically improved. I can now walk for hours, even carrying a heavy shoulder bag. Before I was having trouble standing in my kitchen for an hour. I have observed other yoga classes. None compare!!!

Best yoga studio in Manhattan. Alison West is a fantastic teacher, rigorous, compassionate, and fun. Every week I look forward to her class.

Highly recommend! Very clean studio and the location is super convenient, like 10 steps from the N train station. Most of all, James is an amazing teacher! He is patient, extremely knowledgeable on the body structure, passionate in yoga. I truly enjoyed his class. He would come around to correct our alignments throughout the class and very good at explaining each pose! If I lived in the city, this would be my go to studio. We need more yoga teachers like him!

Wow! A wonderful and beautiful school! So excited to have found this nyc gem!! Expert practitioners who provide a nurturing, healing and inventive practice...my back left very happy :)! I highly recommend if you have injuries! Thank you yoga union!

The studio is warm and beautiful. I felt very at home. I have taken many classes with Kristen and she is truly a treasure. She has helped transform my practice. She is smart, kind, and incredibly knowledgable. She is clear and direct. Her instruction is very precise. She is truly a gifted teacher. Take any opportunity you can to experience her classes.

Beginner Yogis: Basics with Kristin Woods is THE class to take if you're new. She made me feel so comfortable, immediately learns everyone's name and teaches safe, correct alignment. The class sizes are small, so expect to get one on one adjustments. If you're looking for the studio to finally try yoga, look no farther.

If you have scoliosis and haven't taken Rachel Jesien's Yoga for Scoliosis class then you are doing yourself a disservice. Rachel is an incredible teacher, who with her knowledge, patience and upbeat, positive manner has helped my scoliosis in too many ways to enumerate. And kudos to her assistants-Christine, Faith, Judy and James for helping me so much.

I've been coming to ropes and slings with Jane for a few months and cannot say enough good things about her class. First, the studio is lovely and very welcoming. Second, Jane is wonderful. She caters to every student, no matter what their level. I leave class feeling refreshed and much stronger. This place is magical for any back pain you may have, as this is their expertise. Worth the trek if you aren't local. I come from uptown for class.
