Our community is for people willing to step into the uncomfortable, show up, dig deep, heal their chronic pain and love themselves 100%. Maybe you believe that you are destined to live with chronic pain and that the only choice you have is to grin and bear it? Maybe you believe that stress, anxiety and worry are a part of your DNA and there is nothing you can do about it?
Maybe you believe that your needs are secondary and putting yourself first is selfish and irresponsible? Maybe you believe that familiar patterns - no matter how suffocating and soul crushing they may be- is better than taking that first step towards change? We learn that the yoga mat is a laboratory.

In the beginning I had been teaching yoga as a side job. I did this while I was in law school and then as a practicing attorney. At first arguing cases in Brooklyn Family Court and rolling out my yoga mat to teach felt symbiotic. It was exhilarating even. But over time I started to dread picking up my briefcase or walking into court despite the important work that I was doing.
When its time for class you can either join the class by using the link on your confirmation email or by logging in to your account. Set yourself up in a space with a strong internet signal, with your personal yoga mat and any props or alternatives you have. Towels, books, and belts can stand in for rolled-up mats, blocks, and straps!
It begins with our highly trained teachers. We are experts at tailoring the poses to meet your needs. In every class, we modify for injuries, customize for your level, offer safe and compassionate verbal assists and see you for who you truly are. Expect to breathe deeply and feel your body in new and exciting ways.

Leslie Pearlman's brilliance stayed with me for weeks after my first class. No matter what I do I can't get my abs to feel as alive as they do in class with her. She has a fusion of spirituality and asana that is so deep and leaves my cells realigned... every single time. Even better is that I travel a ton and she currently has a full teaching schedule online. WOW. Thank you Leslie & GGY.

Excellent !!!
Good Ground Yoga has given me an incredible appreciation for a strong yoga practice in my life. Leslie is a gifted teacher who pushes me yet also enables me to practice yoga safely and build my strength, flexibility and balance. My first ever yoga class was at this studio. 2 years later I am continuing to learn and challenge what I thought was possible for me.
I highly recommend this yoga studio. All of the teachers here are good, Leslie is exceptional and her classes are the standard to what "all" others are measured.

Love this place. Leslie is a true yoga teacher and a great example to learn from. She makes us work for overall conditioning and stretching...and yet we learn and leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and refocused. It took me 4-5 times to keep coming back as I was hooked on the hot yoga but I am adapting and very glad I started coming here. I will keep coming back and I look forward to the classes. They care and it's a good workout for the body, mind and soul.

Leslie is the best. I've taken her class for 12 years now, and still going strong - and I would folllow her anywhere. We are all so happy for her to have started her own studio - that was (of course) voted the best on the East End. Congratulations and I cannot wait for the next 12 years with you !!! Thank you for all the changes you've helped bring to my life.
