Brooklyn Yoga Club

Specialties

The Brooklyn Yoga Club is located in a townhouse in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. We specialize in teaching Ashtanga Yoga to all levels of practitioners, from complete beginners to advanced students. Our Club has a café, co-​located workspace, library and room for visiting students.

History

Established in 1995.

Ashtanga Yoga New York opened in Soho in 1995, and after 21 years in Manhattan finally wizened up to the awesomeness of Brooklyn. We have transplanted ourselves to Clinton Hill, and opened up a Yoga Club that is focused on integrating spiritual practice along with how we work in the world outside of the yoga room.
