Best yoga center in the city. We have such a beautiful community of people at WYC. Wonderful teachers. There is always a connection with mind, body and spirit in each class. Meditation Monday’s with Rudrani are life changing. I also really enjoy her yoga classes. Jackie is a great teacher as well. I enjoy her Sat morning classes. There is also a handful of talented yoga teachers to choose from during the week. The school has been there for 47 years. That says a lot πŸ’—

I was in town visiting a friend and after all the traveling this was perfect and very reasonably priced especially for the city!

This place is excellent- clearly driven by the desire to spread yoga as a practice and not as a performative space to show off your fancy yoga mat. Instructors and students all bring a very grounded energy to the place. The space is cozy and welcoming- highly recommend if you are looking for place to develop your practice at your own pace with great support.
