Oh, Alison west. Something else. I work-studied at her studio, YU in NYC. I was in a very hard time…read morein my life and had difficulty working and using classes. When Covid came around, Ms West would not honor our karmic agreement for work and class exchange, citing that you can't just save up classes and that one should work at YU to improve their body. As an overweight woman, she was clearly body shaming me. Luckily, I won a dept of labor case against Ms West for the amount of about $1300 (which equated to how many classes I had store through work exchange) within the past few years. It does not compensate for the type of abuse Ms West extends to the world. It is upsetting that someone like this is within the yoga community but this is how the world works. She taught me so much. Thank you Ms West. You're probably reading this. You think you know who you can abuse; you should have paid more attention. I was not one of them though I know how to play dead with a predator ;) -- Stephanie Lamberson

They also have 90 minute classes as well as slow flow for beginners. The regular class is for intermediate to advance, it's not friendly if you're a total newbie because most basic poses are not explained. The yin yoga is beginner friendly with a lot of instruction and easy poses that you hold for a longer duration. Also there's meditation involved. I feel sore from top to bottom after the regular class. On another day after yin yoga I slept better.

I've written a much longer review of Yoga Vida's NoHo location, so I'll keep this one focused on…read moreTribeca. This was the final Manhattan location, and in many ways it felt like the most charming. Even as so much of Lower Manhattan changed, this stretch of Tribeca always felt unusually quiet, residential, and permanent. I cherished walking to early morning classes through nearly empty streets before the city fully woke up. If NoHo was the heart of Yoga Vida, Tribeca felt like its most understated expression. It was the chic, sophisticated younger cousin: deeply committed to its craft, somewhat reclusive, and perfectly comfortable operating away from the spotlight. It probably wasn't the first Yoga Vida location you'd visit, but for many people, I suspect it became one of the most memorable. The space itself fit the neighborhood perfectly. The street-level windows with curtains gave it a private feel, while the exposed steel X added a bit of industrial New York character. Some people occasionally criticized it, but I never understood why. It had virtually no impact on the class experience, yet it made the room feel distinctive. Because the studio was both smaller and newer, the infrared heating system worked especially well. Winter classes here were incredibly cozy. One thing I appreciated was the range of teachers and class experiences. During peak hours, some of Yoga Vida's most experienced instructors taught packed classes that felt both polished and quintessentially Tribeca. At quieter times, newer and rising teachers were given opportunities in that same prestigious room. The studio even hosted instructors from other cities, including Philadelphia. That willingness to develop talent always felt consistent with Yoga Vida's culture. My favorite mornings often ended with a walk to Gotan for a scrambled cheddar biscuit, hot sauce, and a coffee after class. It became one of those simple New York rituals that seem insignificant at the time but grow more meaningful in memory. There was also something uniquely full circle about this location for me. My 13-year run living below 23rd Street began at 40 Harrison Street in Tribeca and, in many ways, ended practicing here. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was a fitting final chapter. Looking back, this was likely my last Yoga Vida chapter before COVID and before life changed in a hundred different ways. I'm grateful I got to experience it when I did. A wonderful studio in a wonderful neighborhood. Gracias!

Featured in Curbed magazine as the Best Pilates in New York, the article describes how students of all ages and backgrounds find their way to Pilates Habitat.

It even me want to encourage my parents to start Pilates ;) Ellen, the instructor, was great; she was very attentive to the needs of our 4-student class.

There are locker rooms and showers on site. The front desk offers mats, mat towels, face towels, shower towels, and after class chilled lavender towels that are passed around the room. I really love the variety of classes here, including a sculpt class I took, HIIT with weights (like this but less yoga and more cardio bursts), the classic ID, and more. I wish they had more variety in class lengths as sometimes I'm really just feeling a 45 minute, but nonetheless this has become one of my go-to studios in Manhattan. The instructors are really cool here as well!

It does get a bit crowded during rush hours but never experienced any inconveniences. It's in the heart of Midtown so I pick your battle. Staff and class instructors are so positive and upbeat. **One thing to comment is the chattering when entering the class studio. Chatting it up like it's happy hour at the bar. I'm coming from an environment of chattering 9-6, no need for more. Especially when I'm coming/paying to escape it. I thought it was an unwritten yoga studio rule to enter quietly. It would be nice if peace and quiet can be regulated a bit more. Nonetheless, looking forward to being a Black Tag member!

However, the instructor had EXCELLENT cueing. I've been to many Corepower studios. This seemed the least heated?
