Kundalini Yoga East

This place is bad news bears. Attend at your own risk, and please, look into the stomach-churning origins and history of Kundalini yoga in the US before getting involved. You may consider HBO's recent docuseries "Breath of Fire". No doubt the combination of yoga, meditation, breath work, visualization, and spiritual orientation make for a potent cocktail in self-care and self-development. The unfortunate shadow side is that, because of its value, it is used as a tool for manipulation in the hands of the wrong people. Perhaps there are some decent and sincere, if misguided, instructors here. From my experience, though, a few bad eggs say a great deal about the entire batch.

Went to a class here and was shamed by the yogi the second I walked in the door, in front of the entire class. I was overweight at the time, in graduate school, very stressed. The yogi looked me over and asked loudly if I was pregnant, when i said "no" she said "are you sure?" her tone towards me was disdain. I don't know why shaming people would have any place in this practice. Literally felt like a bad church experience, negative and judgemental.

Magical yoga studio, I felt myself begin to heal. I came in one state, during practice it changed, and after practice it became different, lighter and purer. Many thanks to the teachers, their sense of humor, kindness and warmth are very inspiring and touching. I thank the group, its powerful field energizes and moves forward. I sincerely wish the yoga studio prosperity and all the best.💜❤️💜

Nice studio space but worst Kundalini class I ever attended. The instructor started by saying that we will focus the session on healing because “the body isn’t meant to be sick and it’s because we have negative thoughts that we get sick”. Way to shame and blame people with disabilities and chronic illnesses - I was shocked. English isn’t her first language so I’ll leave some room for language mistakes, but that wasn’t the only weird thing she said. “Meditate on your past and Focus on your future and on what you want” was said several times, which goes against the very philosophy of yoga - which is all about breaking up the concept of time into present moments. She also did not do the exercises herself but just instructed, with no demo. Luckily I am familiar with yoga terminology but my guest was not and she was very lost. All in all a very disappointing class. I feel bad leaving such a damming review but it was truly an abrasive experience so I feel it is my duty to warn others. Hari yoga uptown is more authentic.
