Living Yoga

I attended a full moon women circle and I’m so happy I took that opportunity. My instructor Merlin made the experience so welcoming and vulnerable for all of us to share and heal together. I wish more women would attend these events and understand the power of sisterhood. Thank you Living Yoga for being part of my healing journey.

The cancellation policy is very strict and not accommodating. I couldn’t get in to the building on my first visit because i pressed 2 instead of the suite no. 201 on the intercom. So i missed the class and was charged for $20. I emailed to explain but the owner didn’t believe me. I was frustrated on how unaccommodating the owner is for a first timer. After few back and forth, the charge was waived but left me a very bad impression. Today someone was struck by a train near 65 St. station. I was stuck on E train for over 45 mins, without network. I tried to text them about missing the class. The moment I got off the train, i called the front desk and explained the situation, she said sorry and instead of charging for $20, she will charge me $10. I was furious on how they run the business on trying to make profit out of cancellation fee for events that are out of my control. She asked me to talk to the owner, i didn’t want to waste my time to repeat the same thing, that’s not much to say more as I sent the service alert on MTA app to them. I should have bought just a single class instead of new members trial. That’s my advice to anyone who wants to check out the studio. Don’t commit to a monthly package until you try it out. Another inconvenient fact is the bathroom is outside of the studio shared with other suites on the same floor. The condition of the bathroom is comparable to those at train station. Originally I want to try a closer studio but i rather spend time traveling back to my usual studios (The Yoga Room and Hotyoga4YouRegoPark) with understanding and accommodating staffs. The hoops they made you jumped through to waive cancellation fee even for the first time is ridiculous as you can see from other reviewers. Not going back. It’s a convenient excuse to say the cancellation fee is requested by the community and the business owner is getting the profit for charging a class plus cancellation fee. The cancellation fee of $20 is higher than average.

I absolutely love this place! I started with the new student membership and shifted to an unlimited membership over a year ago. All classes and teachers are different and all are very good but Merlin's classes have a very special place in my heart. She has a kind energy and a very unique approach to yoga. I have also had the chance to be part of her women circles at the studio and it just feels like home. 100% recommend it!

I am new to yoga. I have felt very welcomed at Living Yoga. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been so kind. Special shout-out to Susie and Adam. I attended Susie’s hot yin yoga. Really enjoyed her class— felt really great after all the deep stretch we did. Thank you Susie! I also Attended Adam’s hot yoga class twice. I privately informed him that I am new to yoga. He was patient answering my questions. I had a lot of fun and will continue to attend. Thank you Adam! I highly recommend both hot yin yoga and hot yoga with Susie and Adam. I can’t wait to take more classes! 😁

Everyone was welcoming and friendly! I’ve been looking for a new studio and this one will certainly be my new spot.
