One woman said she felt "guilty about the father she chose for her children" and this horrible abusive instructor told her "your kids chose their parents this is their bad karma to work through". This is twisted faux spiritual victim blaming. To anyone who suffered childhood abuse to be only to blamed for their own abuse DO NOT GO HERE.

Cute little studio in the UES.

I went on Wednesday night for a Pilates mat class. One thing to note is that all the Pilates classes are mat, they do not have machines at this studio. Wednesday night was one of the coldest nights in NYC so i think a lot of people ended up canceling the class, because it was only me and one other student. Trust me, if it wasn't for class passes strict cancellation policy i would have canceled too, bc I did not want to leave my home in that cold. But glad I went bc it was a good class, and all in all it is only a few blocks from my apartment. The instructor was nice, hands on. It was very relaxed since there were only two of us. She helped with form and also gave modifications if certain moves were too challenging which I appreciated. While it was only 2 of us in the class, I don't think many more could have fit since it was such a small studio. MAYBE 5 people max, but they would be very close together. One thing I did not like was that you had to pay to rent a yoga mat, which you need for the Pilates mat class. You can bring your own mat, or rent theirs for $3 either cash or venmo. I don't get why they do this, they have more than 5 mats, which is the max a class can hold, and all other studios provide you with mats. But whatever!! Overall good class in a cute neighborhood studio!

She knows how to push you without causing joint pain which is almost impossible to find in HIIT style workouts. Since the class size is smaller you get the 1:1 benefits of a personal trainer without losing the contagious energy of a group class. If you're an introvert like me, this is the best of both worlds. I've also been to a few yoga classes on the other side of the studio and they are excellent as well for low impact, stretch days.

Sydney is amazing and her light like a feather energy really makes a difference on your experience here. Ive done a hand full of sound baths with her and each one has different focuses but a similar style which I really enjoy. It feels like little family since theres a ton of regulars that go and are clearly committed to the journey we're taking. I just did a coaching session with Sydney as well and of course, no surprise there, it was sooo insightful. She really breaks everything down for you and opens up the conversation for you to really get a better understanding of what she's couching you through. Theres not a lot of places like this, especially in Astoria/Long Island City and I'm genuinely happy I found it!

My decision to receive TM training at the Midtown Manhattan Center under the tutelage of Jonathan…read moreGoldstein, has totally transformed my enjoyment of life. I was born and raised in a very rural and tranquil area in north western Ireland, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the lush green hills of my home county of Donegal. It is very easy to find peace there. But in October 2016, I married a New Yorker and soon afterwards found myself in Jackson Heights, Queens - one of the busiest, most densely populated and diverse neighborhoods in the world. That change came as quite a shock. I found the long immigration process to be quite frustrating. During the winter months, I was missing Ireland, struggling to adapt to life in such a busy city, and knew that I needed some sort of change in my life. I was feeling a little stressed, was having trouble sleeping, and was generally experiencing decreased motivation and creativity. Getting good quality sleep was a continual problem. I found TM online, and enrolled for a free non-committal introductory talk in March 2017. I instantly decided to take the training, and it has turned out to be an excellent decision. I thoroughly enjoyed the week-long training program. I found the center to be very relaxing, and the quality of teaching on offer was first class. I could not possibly have asked for better training/mentoring. As for the TM itself, I felt immediate benefits, and now, three months later, having practiced TM twice daily ever since, I feel completely rejuvenated. I sleep as soon as I go to bed, and wake feeling refreshed, positive, very confident about the future, and despite the fast-paced nature of life in New York, I feel calm and assured. Perhaps the best thing I can say about TM is that it is effortless. Previously, when I was presented with a problem or a challenge, (just I suspect like many other people), I would think and think in the hopes of finding a solution. TM has taught me that I don't need to think harder to find solutions to life's problems. In fact, I should do the opposite. TM allows me to switch my thoughts off, and this innately triggers a sense of complete stillness, which brings so many benefits to my life. The realization that I can do this, and delve into the boundless possibilities and creative opportunities that come from TM is a complete revelation. I would thoroughly recommend TM training at the Midtown Manhattan Center.

It is located in the basement of a church just a few minutes from the last train stop on the NQ in Astoria.

I would highly recommend stopping in, I always come out with a lot of great knowledge, things to work on and feeling great!
