The space is straightforward. The lobby is a little bit tight if the classes packed, but generally speaking everything that you need is here and the facility is extremely clean. They have lockers that have a lock included for personal belongings. Lyons Den has been around for such a long time (longer than most studios), so I do tend to trust their teachers a lot more in the heat, and they all seem to have a really strong Teacher training background. I also received some decent hands on assists here. I do look forward to the next time I get to come here, thank you so much!

5 stars for Bethany.

She keeps a watchful eye on everyone and calls people out in a good way ("Rachel, lean forward", "three of you stop looking at your watch"). I have come to this studio two other times and while the sequence is consistent, the experience varies based on the instructor's energy and the music they choose. Sarah is great too. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. Mats and blocks are cleaned after each use. It's expensive. A drop-in class was $35 and included towels a month ago when I last visited NYC, and now it's $38 plus $5.50 towel rental fee.

The room itself is very spacious, but after class it was a bit chaotic. The instructor (cannot remember the name unfortunately) was very good and was paying attention to the group but also provided individual feedback when a person was not properly following the movements. Bring your own mat and towels so you don't get charged $ for them.

It's clear that she really knows her stuff. I attended on Classpass ,and the class itself was 16 credits which honestly, is kind of a lot, but I would still say it's worth it. The class was a bit fast pace, so I'd say it's leaning toward the intermediate end of beginner. However, it's a nice push for the body-rounding strength postures with breathing techniques. The cold lavender towel at the end is also a really nice touch. It's a really beautiful studio. The locker rooms are modern and sleek. Definitely one to check out for hot yoga fans and enthusiasts alike.

The lobby area actually had space to chill, the staff was friendly, there is filtered water and decent self care products. I love the assigned mat space and the lounge area the mostest. The class was also truly excellent, the flow was challenging but also totally do-able. I got a couple great hands on assists. I would say the same for the heat, it wasn't too insanely hot, but definitely a lil sweaty. Thank you so much for a wonderful class, can't wait to come back!

The word "shala" means "house" in sanskrit, and is a fitting name for this yoga school, which I…read morehave come to think of as a second home and refuge from the stress of New York life. As you can see from the photos on this page, this style of yoga is very hands-on. In keeping with the method taught to him by Sri K Pattabhi Jois, Guy works with students individually, with the goal of teaching them to eventually become more self-sufficient and hold the poses themselves. His dedication and knowledge of this form of yoga is very unique, and is the reason many students travel from all over the city and outer boroughs to visit the studio each day. Guy expects commitment from his students as well, so the Mysore-style classes are best for those looking to develop a regular practice.

I'm now obsessed with this place! Seems like it's renovating and adding a spa in there which makes…read morethe whole cafe pretty warm and steamy - perfect for people who get cold but I am running warm so I definitely took off my shirt as people in bras working on their laptops here is actually quite normal! My friend introduced me to this place and I definitely get the hype as I work remotely I do need some time to work before or after my yoga class so it really worked out that I can here. Espresso and ham and cheese croissant was great. I got to have a small snack an hour before my yoga class! The yoga class was great I absolutely loved the soul flow and the pink Himalayan rocks made me warm naturally and definitely felt amazing after my class. Top notch experience versus the other studios that are a quick in and out situation. I really love taking my time and relaxing before and after!

Today I had a woman practice next to me the whole class and at the end during the resting phase, I WATCHED her from the corner of my eye -careful gather her mat up and POUR its entirety on my face. The girl behind me laughed, she glanced at her with a smile. When I reacted she ignored me and tried to walk off- I gave her mat a polite tug as there was traffic by the blocks and began to speak, she immediately rushed out. Now, headed home my face is on fire (washed it twice) leaving me to believe there was some cleaner left on the mat before interacting with my face. I'm big on deep breathing,smile and letting go but my face burns. This is just one of the forms of micro aggressions you may face- alongside people stepping over your face and on your mat bare foot (while managing not to do that to your neighbors). Position themselves to purposely have limbs in your allocated space. I REALLY love the facility... the community here seems a bit into harm. Love these classes. This place is almost perfect it's just not safe. Sun salutations and surveillance. Classes are so great I'll be back but others should be aware. don't relax. Side note I put this SAME review on classpass , the day it happened, with 1 star and it shows as 5stars today. the star change is fishy. contextual Sn: I'm a black young man, the lady who poured her mat water on me is Asian, the woman who laughed with her is white/slavic.

Her pace is great and she offers modifications according to your level . I love her routines . It shows preparation and the use of different elements ( ball, bands, weights and box ) makes classes challenging and effective. I've definitely gotten stronger, more flexible and with better balance since starting at AVEA Pilates . Come try Reem's classes ! You won't be disappointed.

The front desk, lockers, and showers are on the 3rd floor, where they provide you with a bath towel if needed. There are only 3 showers and 2 bathrooms, so expect to wait. The showers and locker area are co-ed, so be sure to change in the shower room before coming out. There's an open vanity area by the lockers to get ready afterwards. The studio is upstairs, where phones aren't allowed, since it's a heated room. Thankfully, the room isn't as hot as some other heated studios I've been to. Mat + towel combo for rental is $9, but the fee is waived if it's your first class. Before you enter the heated room, you're instructed to take a set of 3lb weights, a resistance band, and ankle weights. Depending on the class, you'll also take a yoga block. Their Sculpt class has a short stretch portion for cool down and no cardio (like CorePower). Only downside I'd say is that there are no mirrors to check your form and they turn off the lights in the class, but that's their brand. Overall, I had a good sweat + would return for another heated sculpt class!

Honestly that's the only one I go to because it feels more traditional to me since you hold the poses longer and the music doesn't feel as loud (maybe I'm just imagining that). You get a great stretch and sweat! My only complaint is they don't offer slow burn as much as the other classes and is usually either really late or early morning. Would love if they could add another class?? Also the ones I always go to are packed! Maybe an afternoon option? I would definitely attend more if they offered that if you don't like the other classes try slow burn! and be prepared to walk up a lot of stairs at this location.
