You are greeted right away with nothing but smiles and love. Such a calm and relaxing vibe. The natural light in the studio is the real treasure here. The whole place is so clean. Another highlight? The meditation room! Cozy little nook upstairs, try not to fall asleep. Highly recommended and 10/10 will be visiting again.

Kirsten, you are the best! Thank you for coming all the way out to Astoria! Hope to see you soon ❤️
Loved Yug Wellness!! I took a barre class with Catherine and it was honestly SO good, one of my favorite classes I’ve taken. She was amazing and the workout was tough but in the best way. I love how she incorporated weights!
I really wish they offered barre more often because I’d go all the time if they did.
I also tried yoga sculpt and it was good, just not really my thing since I’m not super into yoga. I’d love if they added a sculpt/strength-focused class that’s less yoga-based.
Overall such a great studio and I’ll definitely be back!

Thank you so much for the sweet review. Please email us with any class requests so we can try to accommodate ❤️
YUG is my favorite studio! I’ve been coming here since last October, and it’s truly become a bright spot in my week. The studio is always clean, peaceful, and so inviting. The calming space instantly put you in the right headspace.
The teachers are what make this place exceptional. Sonia’s Friday morning community flow is such a grounding, uplifting way to start the day. Megan’s vinyasa and ground yoga classes are thoughtful, steady, and always exactly what I need. She always gives such thoughtful goals or themes to focus on each class. Randi and Kelley bring great energy to their vinyasa classes, each with their own style but always tuned in to the room. Kate kicks our butts in yoga sculpt in the best way possible. It s a challenging class but you walk out feeling so good and strong (and sweaty). Every instructor I’ve had has been kind, accommodating, and incredibly intuitive.
The location is super convenient, which makes it easy to stay consistent, but honestly, I’d go out of my way to practice here. I have a monthly membership with YUG and it's a really great value for what you get. The price is reasonable compared to other places nearby. I would absolutely recommend! It’s a genuinely welcoming community and a studio I’m grateful to have found!

Aww…Thai you so much for this kind review! We love having you part of the community ❤️
What's not to love!
It's secure- gotta be buzzed in & when class is in session, the main glass doors are locked. There are lockers available to securely store your belongings comfortably.
The ambiance of the studio is giving divine feminine, modern, cozy, clean, and just welcoming all at once. I love the dimness of it- a happy medium to provide that calmness before kicking ass in class.
Everyone's welcome- I say this as an overweight Latina.
The instructors! I absolutely love Rita, Kate, Randi, Therasa, Megan, & Kelley's classes! They are all personable, very approachable, clear on instructions, awesome motivators, your greatest cheerleaders, and lead cohesive yet challenging flows. Slow build up, peak intensity, and slow wine down. They offer classes and their own individual energies that touch + heal the mind/body connection! Classes I recommend are Mat Pilates, Yoga Sculpt, Vinyasa, Pilates Core in 45, Morning Ground Yoga, & Yin Yoga (Frank is awesome too!).
Can't beat the pricing! I've been converted from Class Pass to be a YUG Member and I absolutely love it! The monthly membership is 100% worth it!
10/10 absolutely do recommend! I'm so going to miss this place when I move out of state!

Ufff you got us all 🥹. And this is why we keep going! Thank you so much for making this community what it is….FOR ALL ❤️
We love you!
We love you!
Took Candlelight Yin with Anna Rose Picagli and it was lovely, potent and gently moving. Her guidance and meditation helped me through each and every pose, and opened me up to broaden my perception of things that had been on my mind.
This was my first time at the space, and something so gentle and inspiring was present in the air. The mat rental was free, and the space hummed with a sensation of welcome and trust when I first walked in. Thank you. 🩵

This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for taking the time to review! We are so happy to have you part of our little community ❤️
Worst experience. Please save your time and money. If you arrive even one minute late, they lock the door and won’t let you in for any reason. I arrived just one minute late due to traffic, called multiple times with no answer, and then waited outside for 10 minutes only to be told I couldn't join because I was “one minute late.” I had no idea this policy even existed. They showed zero understanding or respect for new customers.
I started Pilates here postpartum, and it’s been such a game-changer. The entire space is warm, grounding, and completely zero-ego. The instructors are amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and never pretentious. I honestly wish I found this studio sooner!

Thank you so much! As many of us are moms ourselves, it’s extra special to be able to support others in the community 😊 We love having you in class and really appreciate the kind words!!
One of Astoria's greatest gems! I started up at Yug this summer, after not having any type of work out routine for years. It was a personal goal of mine to start focusing on my health and fitness, as well as do something alone on my own. I started with the 2 week new member special and tried every single class I could, along with each teacher. I instantly fell in love with the studio, community, teachers and moving my body - leaving each class smiling and proud of myself.
I've slowly grown my weekly routine from 2 classes a week to 5 classes a week including weekends. Never did I think I'd enjoy an early morning sweat more than sleeping in! There are times when I fall off due to just being busy with personal events and things but every time I return back to the studio I'm upset that I even had to miss classes. I'm so beyond thankful to have Yug in the neighborhood and spoil myself with movement each week. Though I started for the physical benefits, it's the mental benefits that keep me coming back for more!
If you're curious about Yug and just getting into body movement I strongly suggest to new member special and the Stretch & Restore class with Veronica (one of my favorite weekly classes that benefits my mental health and always leaves me learning something new). If you're familiar with yoga and mat pilates definitely try Yoga Sculpt with Kate and Mat Pilates with Randi and Reima.

This is the kindest, most thoughtful review we have ever received! Thank you so much for taking time to share 😊 We truly appreciate you, and love having you part of our little community ❤️
I’ve been coming here since day one, and even when life pulls me away, it’s always amazing to come back and see how beautifully the studio has evolved. The space is so calming — plants, candles, and such a peaceful vibe. I love the new class options and times. And I have to say, Stacey’s class is truly the highlight of my day. Her energy, guidance, and flow are unmatched. Thank you for keeping it fresh and for making me love yoga (and the Pilates twist!) even more!

Thank you for such a sweet review!!! We really appreciate this…and you for being on this journey! Love this community so much ❤️
Since my first class here from ClassPass, it is such an amazing place for a variety of classes. All instructors I've met so far are so kind and informative. Absolutely obsessed with this place and will probably come here for as long as I live in NYC.

I've been coming here for 3 years and I love that they've recently added a variety of classes - pilates (mat & reformer) + different kinds of yoga flow + other things as well. I sometimes take classes via classpass and other times via their mindbody booking system

Thank you so much Lily!! Love having you in class ❤️
This studio helped me fall back in love with yoga again! Love the variety of classes and the plentiful offering of yin yoga classes. The Pilates classes- both reformer and mat- have been excellent.

Thank you so much, Georgia! We really appreciate this and love having you in class and community 😊
This studio made me fall back in love with pilates and yoga (especially the Yoga Sculpt class). Yug provides a great space to learn for everyone no matter their skill level. Every instructor I’ve taken a class with has been knowledgeable and encouraging while still pushing me to my limits in the best way possible.

Hi Marissa, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that our classes, especially Yoga Sculpt, have helped you reconnect with your love for Pilates and yoga. Our team works hard to create a welcoming environment where everyone can learn and grow, and we’re so happy it’s been a positive experience for you. We can’t wait to see you back in class and continue pushing together in the best way possible! 💛
I cannot recommend Yug highly enough! I went a few times for Yin Yoga, but once they started offering Pilates is when I became addicted. I've been going to Makenzi's classes and they have truly made me fall in love with the practice. Makenzi is so bright and energetic and really makes the classes fun! Her energy is contagious and she'll have the whole class laughing even while our legs shake. I'm sadly moving out of NYC next week and one of the things I will miss most is the classes I've attended at Yug. I'm honestly worried I won't find a studio I like as much in my new city. Thank you Yug for making exercise fun again.

OMG 😭 So sad to have you go…we will miss you! Thank you for this message and for being a part of the community. Come back to visit!
I’ve been to this studio many times and always had good time. I also recommended this studio for many of my friends. Until today that the train to Ditmars was 10 mins late making me late for the class. I tried to call the front desk to tell that I’ll be late but she didn’t try to compromise AT ALL and give me no choice but to charge me for late fees and cancel the class. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED for this stupid policy. This definitely was my last time trying to book a class with this studio.
