There's also a blow dryer. There is a water refill station right before you enter the studio. The studio is a rectangle so there's one row in the back and one row in the front. I've taken a class before in the east village, but never in this studio. I don't remember much except I love the music, which is why I go and it did not disappoint this time either. the class had the instructor announced positions, which is fine, but I do wish she could've demonstrated since I'm not an avid Yogi. You do about three or four different flows and then after you learn one flow, you have three minutes to do it on your own. that part I didn't really enjoy because sometimes I would forget the sequence and just felt lost. I could've done without that part and just had More instruction.

I've taken both group mat classes and private sessions and find all the instructors have a gentle yet challenging style that I haven't come across anywhere else.

Despite doing all…read moreof those activities, I have a gut that makes me look like I'm 6 months pregnant (I do eat like a pig). I also have 33 years worth of wear and tear on my knees. I regularly practice yoga since it's a great way to mitigate stress. However, I've recently started to feel disconnected from yoga. You don't get individual attention in a crowded room with 70 people. The donation classes are smaller, but have inexperienced instructors. I'm not quitting yoga altogether. To quote Ross Geller, I'm on a break. I decided to try out Pilates, which is basically yoga sans random Hindu chants. Almost every Pilates studio that I Googled was prohibitively expensive. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Progressive, which has reasonable prices compared to other Pilates studios. After reading all of the positive Yelp reviews, I gave Progressive a shot and took the Monday 8 PM class. When I entered the studio, I was bewildered by all of the fancy equipment. The instructor was a woman who was about 5 feet tall, 95 pounds. I thought to myself that the class would be a cakewalk. I was in for a rude awakening. This class pushed me to the limit. There were times when I wanted to cry. Nevertheless, it was exactly what I needed. The mantra "no pain, no gain" is so true. Many of the poses worked my abs. There were also a few which caused me to feel a burn in my biceps and triceps. And unlike in yoga classes that I've taken, the instructor in this class worked out with us- she didn't just tell us what to do. Although we didn't use the fancy equipment, I definitely got my money's worth. There are a few flaws, none of which will deter me from coming back. The studio is very small- there was only one other student in the class. The space where the class is held is literally right near the door. This will be a serious issue in the winter. Another flaw is that the times in which the classes are offered are extremely limited. There's only one class per day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The only evening classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays. A third flaw that's not the fault of the studio is that once the L train shuts down next year, it will be a pain in the ass getting here. Nevertheless, I'll cross that (Williamsburg) bridge when I get there.

It's suited for all levels. Everyone at the studio is incredibly welcoming. Jared is a wonderful teacher and spiritual leader, and someone who truly does care for the practice and his students. They incorporate all different types of yoga into the classes. Jared and his other teachers have an incredible understanding and knowledge of these practices and are able to convey them seamlessly to their students. No matter what level you are at. I have taken other people to Jared's classes before that were very new to the practice, and they never felt intimidated or overwhelmed.

This authentic Yoga school is designed for serious people, those who value tradition, and the art of Yoga. Its not your pop-culture trending gimmick studio with their music blasting, glow-in-the-dark panty parties, salt crystals-infused candelabras, hippy essential oil burning, Hindu deities posters everywhere tacked on for legitimacy. Lighthouse Yoga is about teaching you real Yoga skills for life, and the studio master and proprietor, Jared McCann, is adamant and passionate in sharing with all his students, new and old, his incredibly effective Yoga method. If you come consistently, and train here, you will level up real quick, and I like progress :) I myself have over 12 years of consistent Yoga practice, and 7 years teaching, I have studied Yoga at top schools in NYC and Thailand, and after amassing a comprehensive outlook on many different Yoga systems the world over, I am highly recommending you try Jared's method, and that of his fellow teachers at Lighthouse! These are some of the most dedicated Yogis on the planet, and believe me, I have seen how they train Yoga in other countries and this place sets a high-bar standard no matter who you compare them to. Why wouldn't you want to practice with the best in the business, and set aim towards your own 'Highest Self' actualization, right? At least that's my rationale...... I came to practice at this studio 2 years ago, and come as often as I possibly can, even though I have to commute from Sheepshead Bay, BK, on a scooter for more than 40 minutes, and risk dying every time I do so, to me - its totally worth it! If I could get this high-end level instruction in authentic Yoga where I was located, I wouldn't travel so far, but, sometimes, good things are worth reaching for. As they wise saying goes, "Why not go out on the limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?" See you at Lighthouse, bring your own torch! Namaste Alex L

As a…read moreformer gymnast in my early thirties, I've been struggling to find a workout which literally could transform my body while building upon my lifetime of exercise. Julia begins each session by asking me how my body is feeling and is always listening and taking mental notes. From there she'll make a quick assessment and then we begin, always building on our last session and incorporating new moves to continue strengthening and aligning my body. It is amazing how much knowledge one person can have about the movements of the human body. There may be days where I'm feeling very tired and feel I cannot muster the energy to go to my session, but I do and each time I don't regret it. In fact, I feel reinvigorated after my workout, and each time I feel so much happier and better about myself. Julia is someone who truly enjoys and has a passion for sharing her Pilates knowledge and cares for your well being. I personally believe she is is way more effective than a therapist and costs a lot less. I would recommend The Swan in a heartbeat and feel stronger, and better about myself. Looking forward to my continued success at The Swan and learning more about Pilates.

We ended up doing a combination of in-person and virtual visits based on what was best for my schedule. I also appreciated the precautions she takes around COVID. She's also just extremely knowledgeable about the human body, which made me feel very confident in the exercises she led me in and guidance she gave. If an exercise ever felt weird, she always seems to know exactly what muscle I need to stretch/open up. Luisa was able to meet me where I was at, taking it a little slow at first, but then she really kicked our sessions up a notch when she realized I had some of the basics down. I loved that she sent me videos of the exercises for me to save and practice on my own. Overall, a great experience and I would work with her again anytime I needed a personal trainer.
