I used to go to both the NYU and upper east side studios often and had their monthly membership for years.
The staff are all very friendly and there are many knowledgeable teachers. Unfortunately some teachers I like no longer teach there.
There are a lot of classes offered through the day so I would just go there without checking the schedule

I had lessons with Alan and his father nearly 50 years ago and it was the best yoga, meditation and spiritual instruction I could have hoped for. Changed my life and I now practice daily utilizing Alan's excellent classes online. Have no doubt, this is the real thing!

I am finishing up a 2-week new student pass, and my impressions are based on several 9:45 AM weekday "all levels" or "beg/int" classes. Since these classes may be considered "off-peak" I didn't notice the overcrowding that other Yelpers have observed. The instructors have been easy-going and skilled, and the front-desk folks have been basically friendly and competent. There is an overall warm, communal vibe here. I like the availability of tea and a place to hang up coats, which not all of the smaller yoga studios have. The main yoga room is lovely, with dark

I took a wonderful restorative yoga class with Gina today! It was my first time to the studio and I LOVE it. Easy to find, good location, ground floor, friendly receptionist- but the studio itself has so much space and that can be rare to find in NYC! Everyone had their own space and it was a full class. Gina was incredible, guiding us through a series of long restorative poses, encouraging us to set an intention, and listen to our bodies. I have been traveling for two weeks so I greatly needed a gentle but firm stretch, and found it today in class! Thank you Gina, Can't wait to continue my

My favorite yoga studio in NYC and a gem that's slightly off the beaten path. Tons of good teachers depending on what you're looking for.
Newbie to yoga? Shel's classes are great for you.
Want to build technical precision and correct posture and alignment? Peter F. or Cathy L.'s classes will help you adjust into the right postures and alignments in no time.
The meditation classes are great too.
Bonus: the main studio is large, spacious and beautifully zen; rarely feeling cramped or too crowded, which in NYC is a luxury.

It is a mystery to me why I've waited so long to praise ISHTA yoga in writing when I do in conversations with friends and acquaintances all the time, sharing what an effect the studio, teachers, and ethos have had on my life.
I've been practicing yoga more or less regularly, with a few breaks in between, going on 15 years, and have attended many studios in the city. I always return to ISHTA. I feel different at the end of an ISHTA class from what I feel at the end of others. Don't get me wrong, I always feel *good* at the end of any yoga class, but there's something about

Comparing with other studios in the neighborhood, Ishta can offer so much more. The studio is very clean and spacious. Most importantly it NEVER smells bad! The Ishta method definitely let you explore your own state and potential, making your yoga practice a much more enjoyable experience rather than a weight loss boot camp. The all level class is very well lead by experienced masters. They make you feel the class is individually catered and focus on each person's needs. The scheduling and canceling is easy online. The front desk people are very friendly and helpful.

I've been to two restorative classes at the downtown location and enjoyed both classes. I think the instructors names were Donna and Gina? Very welcoming and accommodating!
The room is very spacious and you're not frowned upon if you show up a couple minutes late like some studios! I'm not sure how much classes cost because I use class pass but there is a mat rental.
The only downfall to this studio is that the props don't seem very clean (even the mats)! I felt a little gross covering myself with a blanket and wish they had fresh towels to lay on the bolsters! Maybe I&apos

Summary:
It's a yoga studio with two yoga rooms, one upstairs and one in the basement. There's no lounge, etc. We thought it would be a lot nicer.
It's basically two yoga rooms with an area to check in and buy a yoga mat or t-shirt.
Cost:
There are lots of classes that came to $24 for a one-hour drop-in class + another $2 for mat rental. This is really expensive. Yoga Vida is less. Integral Yoga is $10. Bhakti has some for donation. Ishta does have a few "community classes" for $10.
Note:
If you have been to even one or two classes at full price (within the last

I used to come to this studio many years ago and it quickly became my favorite studio in the city. I stopped going sometime ago as I felt my practice had plateaued and started seeking other studios/teachers to learn from.
Today was my homecoming of sorts and I was quickly reminded why I fell in love with this studio in the first place. The quality of teachers at Ishta have always been top-notch. Today's class was on different. I took an open-level class curated by Laura Butler.

Mat rental options: regular, thick, and very sticky! Love the options!
Zen practice room with skylight and mysterious blue door (does it lead to paradise?),
and I hear this location is much bigger than the uptown location which I haven't yet seen.
I came during an open house and had lovely teacher whose name escapes me. If the quality of classes here are like hers, and I'm guessing they are, I recommend this studio!
There's also tea offered for after class, water, a boutique, and again I love the mat rental options! Would gladly return.

This is my first time doing yoga outside of home dvds.
My friends recommended & i got a great groupon deal. So for 1st timers, they have front where you take off your shoes/socks, hallway for coats, & you can bring in your bags into class. They have several changing rooms. However, during prime classes, the place is packed.
I have taken a hour of power class which is a great workout. However, this class fills up very quickly & can be cramped. I have thoroughly enjoyed the beg/int classes which have more space & the instructors were very helpful. I prefer them as i feel as if i have

Not a bad spot and a convenient location down in the village. With that being said, this place just didn't do it for me. It's got a cool little store in the front, but thought the changing area was a little cramped and the poses in class never seemed to get too advanced. I'm not saying I'm any good, but I generally like it when instructors throw as much at us as possible and then give us the option of scaling down. I also don't like the foam blocks they use, once you've used cork ones, the foam ones just seem way too flimsy.
Of course this is just one instructor

Apparently the name ISHTA is an acronym: Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda. Who knew? It's also a Sanskrit word that means something like "individualized." Ishta was founded to be a distinct style of yoga, but I'm not sure I could tell you how it differs in practice (ha, ha) from other styles any more than any one yoga instructor's style will differ from another's.
I tried two classes here - 7 months apart. It might be apparent that I was lukewarm about that first class (a general intermediate level). Instruction was clunky, with lots of chaturanga

I tried out Ishta for a month and sampled the beginners, intermediate, and intermediate/advanced classes. It's a great location and the studio is clean, beautiful and calming. I love the complimentary cucumber water!
As much as I liked the space, my experience there was mixed. Some classes were too slow and actually quite boring, while others were extremely challenging. It didn't feel like the classes were very cohesive - it really varied depending on the instructor.
I've been practicing for about two years and still find value in beginners' classes, but Ishta's beginners
