Yoga Studios in Williamsburg

As yoga becomes more a part of our lives, the more we create new forms of the practice, or add embellishments to enhance our experience. Williamsburg and other neighborhoods in New York City rich in creatives have seen a stream of new yoga studios pop up that add their own twists. From aerial yoga to including hip-hop into the yoga practice, here are seven innovative yoga studios in the area.

Laughing Lotus

Incorporating a fun and open atmosphere, the Laughing Lotus with one location in Williamsburg and the other in Manhattan offers mild, medium, and spicy style classes. From Yin Flow to Lotus Flow, they infuse ancient yoga traditions with music for inspiration. They also have events, workshops and retreats like Chakra Balancing, Monthly Blues Class with Live Music, and Midnight Yoga Mashup! Unlimited Monthly membership in both locations is $149/month, 10 Class Card for $180 or other single class prices. BUT start off with a $39 Monthly Unlimited from Groupon. (Williamsburg location only.)

One innovative aspect is their Online Classes monthly subscription for $15/month. With the subscription, you’ll get unlimited online access to six different classes ranging from 30-60 minutes where you can choose your teacher at any level getting over 120 hours of content. Try it out first through the seven day free trial.

Loom Yoga Center

Originated in Bushwick, Loom Yoga recently expanded into Williamsburg in November of 2016. Although from the same parent, the two locations have rather distinct personalities. The Bushwick studio’s class schedule is a much freer curriculum, offering fun ways to explore the body through yoga, pilates, and even aerial yoga! Whereas in Williamsburg, the space is used for a slightly more traditional practice through Flow & Restore, Power Vinyasa, Reiki Restorative Yoga, and different levels of Vinyasa. 

Start off with a $40 first month unlimited introductory and $69 per month after. Aerial classes in Bushwick are a different price—$20 for one class and $75 for five classes. Studio mats, blankets, blocks, and straps are available at no charge.

Address: 1087 Flushing Avenue, Bushwick, Brooklyn
