Abhaya Yoga Gowanus

This is an amazing place to practice yoga and meditate. Wonderful teachers, friendly community! They have weekly different type of workshops. Also, they offer urban retreat, teaching training and co-working. Highly recommend

The new Abhaya Yoga Center is yoga paradise in Gowanus Brooklyn. I am thrilled that Abhaya has opened its second facility near my home as I used to travel to Dumbo for their quality classes and welcoming community, and it was worth it. Each class is a new experience and I usually walk out feeling as if i had been on vacation. The space has been beautifully renovated and decorated with large cozy couches in the reception area, private dressing rooms, and a variety of studios. It is the epitome what a yoga healing center should be, combining asana yoga poses, meditation, breathing, chanting , yoga philosophy and mixed arts. They offer a variety of special workshops, often by masters in their fields. Tara, the owner is a superb teacher, visionary and is an alchemist in bringing together a wonderful community of people. I recommend you check out their diverse class schedule and stop by to see the studio in person. They welcome all ages and levels of experience.

Abhaya in Dumbo has been my home yoga studio for years - and the new location in Gowanus is just as healing AND more spacious! All of Abhaya's teachers are skilled educators with deep anatomical knowledge. I always feel safe and cared for in class. Beautiful community!

The perfect yoga studio! Fantastic teachers and small classes a half dozen students or less. The space is lovely and the teaching wonderful because of all the individual attention that you get. The method is Iyengar-inflected but you move steadily and there is far more flexibility than in Iyengar; it's the best of all worlds, yoga-wise. Students at any level are welcomed. I'm so happy I discovered this place!

Abhaya Yoga has been my second home in NYC for 8 years. It's much more than a yoga studio- it's a community of powerful, interesting, creative teachers and friends. I did a teacher training with Abhaya years ago and it transformed my life. I have been to yoga studios all over the world travel internationally for work and US and have never found better yoga. Abhaya has helped me to fear less, and love more.

I have been doing yoga for 40 years and have taken thousands of classes. That said, Abhaya is the best yoga studio I have ever been. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, the classes are amazing, and the studio is beautiful with spaces for meditation, pilates and yoga. Highest recommendation!!!

This space is truly special and a unique gem in Brooklyn! There is a wide selection of healing classes, workshops, private sessions with wonderful teachers and healers. You must get away from the busy city and check this yoga oasis out!

Wonderful studio!! I highly recommend this studio to all of my friends. They have amazing teachers and a beautiful, vibrant and nurturing community. Plus, the space is very open with lots of sunlight at over 5000 sq ft. Every class I have ever taken there has been a great experience!

I drop into Abhaya both Gowanus and Dumbo when I am in town and every time it gets better. Tara is a fantastically skilled teacher and in the most recent class she helped me correct some old behaviors and fix some favorite poses. I will always go to Tara and Abhaya when visiting Brooklyn and highly recommend it to Intermediate and Advanced yogis especially!

Great space, great teachers and a great schedule. I love this place, its the first yoga studio Ive been to in the NYC area that I never felt judged in. Def a great place for beginners to experienced practitioners.
