If you are looking for traditional vinyasa yoga in NYC, that has a community and challenging classes, look no further. Yogamaya is a yoga studio in Chelsea area. I just finished my 200 Hr YTT there, and I’m just so obsessed with this studio. I have so many great things to say about this place. The teachers are so passionate about yoga and teaching. The community is so amazing. The class typically infuses some yoga philosophy. They also have seasonal workshops. For example, I went to their handstand club workshop, and now I can do handstand! They have a beautiful studio, my photos only capture a small part of it. They also sell chai tea and incense that smells amazing. Go to Google to see more photos!! Pro tip- if you are not sure if this place is for you, take the Friday evening class, it’s usually led by the studio owner Bryn. And you will get a good sense. Their senior teachers like Amanda, Lindsey, Gina and Danielle are also very very good.
