Kalā Yoga Reviews

Love Kala Bushwick! The heated classes are so addictive I can’t get enough. The space and utilities are great. All instructors are good, with some of them being EXCEPTIONAL; each of them has their unique styles and offers such variety and diversity that always make the experiences fun & well-rounded. This being said, I’ve occasionally run into fellow attendees who came to classes very sick (sneezing & coughing into the space throughout); easy way to get others sick. Perhaps some measures can be taken to raise awareness among the community that, when you’re sick, kindly practice at home instead.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous review. We’re thrilled to hear that you’re loving the heated classes at Kalā Bushwick and finding the teaching team diverse and inspiring. Feedback like yours means a lot to us.

We appreciate you sharing your note about practicing while unwell. We do have wellness reminders posted in the studio encouraging anyone who isn’t feeling their best to join via livestream, and we’ll keep gently reinforcing that message within our community.

Thank you again for being part of our space and for helping us keep Kalā a supportive place to practice. We hope to see you back on the mat (or livestream!) soon.

I've been going to this studio several times a week now for almost three years and I can't recommend it enough. There's an easy sense of community which makes coming to class a treat. Monthly memberships are very affordable and educators are entitled to a discount. Desk staff, mostly volunteers, are unfailingly warm and competent. There are so many fantastic teachers on staff. I love Pia Fiato, who incorporates practical philosophy and a sense of humour into her classes. She's particularly good at hands-on corrections and always chooses great music. Jennie Epland is also trained in aromatherapy and as a Pilates teacher, so her classes feel sumptuously detail-oriented and often use scents. Nat Girsberger choreographs her classes beautifully, with balanced pacing, clear verbal instructions, and thoughtful reflection prompts to pair with movement, while keeping the tone playful.

One of my all time favorite studios. Great classes for both advanced and new yogis. Shout outs to Eric, Nat, Pia, Jenny and Jennie for their great classes and to Kate for running a spectacular studio. The actual practice room itself is well lit and large enough to accommodate a large class and small enough to still feel intimate with a smaller group of students. There is a shower too in case you need to go out after.

Coming to Kala has really started to change my life. I had tried non-heated yoga a couple of times previously, but never latched on - I couldn’t quiet my mind and was often turned off by a pretentious vibe at other studios. Decided to try heated vinyasa here and wow - the instructors are amazing, the classes feel welcoming, and everyone seems to understand and reinforce that yoga is a personal journey. Not to mention, the monthly membership is relatively affordable compared to most NYC gyms/studios. I am so glad I walked in the door.

Adam is a fantastic instructor. I booked a session through ClassPass, and aside from a restorative yoga class earlier in the week, this was my first time in a more active class. Adam was incredibly supportive, offering alternative poses when needed and making sure everyone felt comfortable at their own pace. He’s also very mindful of personal boundaries. If you're not comfortable with hands-on adjustments—as was the case with my partner—he provides clear verbal guidance without making you feel singled out. For those who do opt in for physical corrections (indicated by a small circle plate you can flip), his assistance is precise and makes a noticeable difference in your form and practice. The studio itself is clean and located in a calm, quieter part of Williamsburg—just far enough from the hustle and bustle. Mat, towel, and mat towel rentals are all reasonably priced—literally less than a cup of good coffee from Qahwah. Just a heads-up: if the front desk staff isn’t there and it’s only the instructor checking you in, you’ll need to pay for rentals via Venmo or Zelle. I’m looking forward to visiting again.Adam is a fantastic instructor.

I've been a part of Kala since May, and I absolutely love the positive vibes and unique teaching styles each instructor brings to the vinyasa classes. Special shoutouts to Pia, Addie, Abbie, Kate S., and Maliyah – amazing yoga instructors! Kate S. and Pia's music selection are 100!! Apart from the vinyasa classes, I really love my Saturday mornings with Kate B. for Heated Pilates. Thank you Kala for your community love.
