Love this place. It is right in the mix of Bushwick Brooklyn and feels very ingrained with the vibe of that neighborhood. The space is rustic and has a vintage feel while still being modern. There are many yogic events outside of yoga itself (singing bowls/workshops). You will end up taking a good class and can get a good bite to eat before your next stop

Solid Gold is such a treasure—I’m so grateful for this wonderful neighborhood studio. Leslie is an amazing instructor and calming presence. The classes are the perfect mix of breath and movement-focused, and I especially love when Leslie reads short, insightful excerpts from books aloud during the closing rest period. I always leave class refreshed and with new perspective. My husband and I have been attending remote Zoom classes throughout the pandemic and they’ve been so crucial during this hard time.

Favourite studio ! Leslie (the owner) is incredible gifted, kind and makes you feel part of a family. The studio has the gorgeous green ceiling tiles authentic to the building, and a small backyard for yoga under the stars in the warmer months.

I am so grateful for Solid Gold Yogi, for Leslie and all the teachers. I had practiced some yoga prior to finding Solid Gold, but never found a studio that felt right. I was practicing here for about a year when March 2020 happened, and since then have been practicing virtually multiple times a week with my monthly membership. Leslie and all the teachers have somehow managed to create a special space even through Zoom, and the upcoming winter would be much harder to think about if I didn’t know this space would be available to me everyday. All that’s to say - I highly recommend!
