I have been studying with Jared McCann for sometime now. I'm a certified Bikram yoga instructor,…read moreand I have to say he is by far my favorite teacher in all of New York City... well all of everywhere actually LOL and I have taken classes all over the world ;) If you're really looking to take your practice to the next level or just starting off on your journey I highly recommend this school. 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.

If you want to learn some real Yoga and how it may benefit the rest of your life off the mat, you…read morebetter come here and train with these exceptional teachers!! 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

Kate and the on-site team/owners were amazing at the event and extremely professional. They were both informative and charismatic, which are key traits you'd want from a partner, especially during a heavily trafficked event! We received great feedback from the attendees, as everyone loved getting their aura and energy read. One of the best takeaways from the reading also includes a cute polaroid! Following up on the event, 2 weeks later, each participant was sent a personalized and extensive chakra report which was really great to refer back to. We would 100% partner up with Family of Light Holistic Center again for another event/gathering!

You don't have to worry about yoga mats because there are plenty of pillows to sit on and blankets if you get chilly. Once the class was over our teacher offered us wonderful spiced tea with almond milk, it was lovely. As I was drinking the tea, I still wasn't totally sure about what I had just experienced; I guess I was still processing the amazing energy and happiness I was feeling -- It was def the breath of fire! Holy cow, I could feel my entire body becoming alkaline, it was amazing. I have never felt so good after a yoga class in my life! After I left the building and began to walk around the block, another wave came over me, one of complete relaxation but yet I wasn't sleepy, just calm, centered and focused. All yoga classes should make you feel like that. I can't wait to go back and see what the next class has to offer. This place is gem.

I walked in and was immediately greeted and welcomed, and led thru a really nice class. As what happens whenever I do kundalini, I left feeling light, happy and full of joy.

I haven't tried their other yoga classes but excited to try DM's class. My favorite though has been Cheryl's sound baths at 8:15pm Tuesdays. They're relaxing and transformative and healing - there isn't a better way to unwind from the pace of the city.

I purchased a Groupon for the One Young You and I'm so glad I did. Erica was absolutely fantastic…read more The space itself had a calm and inviting vibe. My only complaint was with the front desk and with the initial reservation where I was told to bring a towel and told to make sure to tip accordingly. I'm aware that there are loads of people who do not know proper tipping etiquette but I'm not one of those people. I purchased two separate Groupon's, for two different people, paid twice the tax and gave twice the recommended tip so it didn't make sense to be told that only one towel would be provided. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. I'm aware, obviously that Erica played no part in any of what occurred prior to my actual detox experience and I wanted to be fair and rate it solely based on that. All in all, I would definitely return and definitely recommend. Thank you Erica for making our experience an enjoyable one.

216 Yoga was my happy haven while I was in Manhattan…read more I could walk the High Line, then pop in a take a peaceful class before more crazy Manhattan fun. The classes are small and have a clean, chic boutique like vibe. Teaches were lovely and attentive, the classes I took had a mix of levels so whether you are a beginner or have an advanced practice you will be satisfied. I really enjoyed the hot yoga, just the right temp to sweat without being too hot. I also had the Ayurvedic Aura Glow treatment that was amazing and I highly recommend as a treat. There is a shower which I could use after my treatment. Everyone was kind and accommodating. Great vibe, and healthy snacks and drinks available. This is definitely the place to make your yoga haven while you are in NY.

I'm a guy who regularly lifts weights, runs on a treadmill, and plays softball. 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.
