Front Page Forum: Best Yoga in Fort ProHill?
What with New Year’s resolutions just around the corner and all, we figured it would be a good time to ask around about a good yoga studio in our new neighborhood. So what is the best that Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Prospect Heights (or western Bed Stuy for that matter) have to offer?

Shambhala Yoga and Dance Center at St. Mark’s and Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights offers Kripalu style classes as well as Iyenga, Restorative and Vinyasa and some dance, too. Although the Hatha classes aren’t labeled Kripalu on the schedule, they are taught by very compassionate teachers who focus on breath awareness and mindful movement and the owners of the studio are Kripalu teachers. Very resonable prices, too.
looking myself for someone who offers Kripalu classes in Fort Greene or Clinton Hill. If anyone knows, please post.
Has anyone found ashtanga in Brooklyn? I’m tired of going to Manhattan just to do the primary series.
I’m with you Anon at 12:53 – hot yoga is a bad idea. Stick with the normal, regular temp yoga -you don’t get totally gross and it’s much safer -you are way more likely to injure yourself in hot yoga.
Not relevant to brownstones or anything, but it’s good to know!
I vote for Yoga-People. The hot classes are fantastic and Anita, the instructor for the Bikram-esque classes is demanding, but very supportive. Plus, if you buy an unlimited annual membership you can use the gym, which is open 24 hours. They teach other classes beside hot and they often offer free intro classes.

The Hot Yoga class is not a “yoga” class in the traditional sense. It’s merely a business calling itself yoga with all the wrong techniques. Best to show up and do your own way and ignore the instructors.
i like yoga lab on atlantic avenue. terrific instructors and not too far from the hood in boerum hill.
I thought I noticed a Bikram Yoga sign on Fulton near near Washington or Clinton, but it disappeared. Anyone know anything about it?
