Arise Yoga

Arise is welcoming in design and style. Classes are led by talented, diverse and caring leaders of yoga. Each is bringing something unique and synced to the community. After a gap in my at-home practice, it has been helpful for my technique (and budget!) to grab the monthly pass. I appreciate this space, def try a class.

Nice local yoga studio. There are many classes throughout the day with different teachers and teaching styles.

Living very close to the studio, I’ve walked by Arise numerous times and always thought “I should try it out” and I am SO glad I finally took the plunge! I’ve been doing the (incredibly reasonably priced!) $30 one-week unlimited offer for new students and I’ve gotten to try so many different classes! All of the teachers and classes have been fantastic. I feel such a sense of calm every time I go to the studio and I truly look forward to it as one of the best parts of my day. My fellow yogis have all been kind and friendly and the studio itself is bright, clean, and has incredible energy. Arise, you’ve gained a lifelong fan and I am signing up for my full-time membership. Thank you for being a bright spot in an uncertain world!

I’ve really enjoyed my $30 first week at Arise! I’m so happy to live between both studio locations in Brooklyn. The variety and amount of class offerings is amazing and so convenient. My favorite instructor is Nicole, but all teachers are so well prepared and teach a high quality class. My only gripe is that I really don’t think 25 people can fit in a single class! I’ve been to a few classes at almost full capacity and it was too overwhelming and claustrophobic for me. Ceiling fans would go a long way in circulating the air around the room so that it doesn’t feel so suffocating! Having so many people that close together and doing balancing poses and inversions is dangerous in my opinion. I would love to see more classes offered throughout the day so that I can avoid the more crowded classes during peak hours.

I used a new student trial week, but, unfortunately, won’t be coming back. Both classes and instructors were absolutely wonderful. Sadly, there are things that a non-negotiable for me. Upon entering the studio there’s a very strong musty smell of old socks and people’s sweat. The blankets and mats smell like that too. When I pointed at that to the instructor she seemed genuinely surprised. But there’s no way I’m the only one who smells that. I asked if they could burn some sage or incense but she said they don’t do that at the studio (although it might help in between classes at least). Aside from that, the floor is covered with hair, lashes and dust - gross. Maybe if the studio would undergo a deep cleaning every day this wouldn’t happen. In addition, I happened to be present during a full class and I’ve never felt so claustrophobic… people’s feet are right above your head and vise versa. Wish I loved it because overall it’s a nice looking studio and the classes were good.
