Barre, Pilates and Yoga are nicely woven together in this studio. Ideal for anyone looking to reconstruct their body. Also the teachers are very relaxed and easy to be around.

Wonderful staff, convenient time slots, clean, beautiful space, affordable and a great class! So grateful to have landed at this location and I look forward to coming back. 🤍

Annie is a wonderful teacher. She’s fun, very knowledgeable and her hands on adjustments helped tremendously! I just had a great class Friday at 8:30 am. Sheldon Young

Terrible experience very rude..couldn’t do the class and was charged

Finally a wonderful Yoga studio in Harlem with a new owner Nicole Pavone and a new name (former Brahman yoga). It's a lovely bright and large space full of plant as soon as you enter you already feel serene. Nicole's class are Wonderfull she's is generous and really cares for her student. Amazing music you don't see the the 60 or 75 minutes class passing. Bravo !

Incredible instructors, I absolutely love this place. Challenging but focused on fundamentals. Highly recommend to anyone, whatever the background and level of experience (or lack of)!!!

I can't even begin to express how much UpDog Studios has changed my life. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt welcomed, supported, and energized. Nicole, the owner, is an absolute ray of light—her positive energy and passion for fitness are truly infectious. She has created not just a studio, but a sanctuary where people can come to feel their best, both physically and mentally. The studio itself is a peaceful & clean haven, with an atmosphere that encourages growth, strength, and confidence. It’s a safe space where you can push yourself without fear of judgment. Everyone roots and supports each other in their journeys. The instructors are all incredible, each bringing their own unique style and energy to every class. No matter which class I take, I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and more in tune with my body. Thanks to the amazing team and the transformative Yoga & Pilates practices at UpDog, I am in the best shape of my life—physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. I truly feel stronger and more empowered every class I take. If you're looking for a place that not only helps you achieve your fitness goals but also uplifts you in every way, this is the studio for you. I can’t recommend it enough!

I found UpDog Studios about a year ago and love it!! Owners Nicole and Jordan have created an incredibly warm, safe, supportive, welcoming and fun, yet challenging yoga and mat pilates studio (and barre and probably other things by the time you're reading this review because they are always innovating and adding things to make the studio even better!). Classes are excellent - they are open to all levels, but lots of options are provided and they are always challenging if you're there for that. I get a great workout and stretch whenever I go. I tried a few studios last year trying to find one to help with my back issues (spoiler - it's working!), and this was by far the best one I found on UWS. Thank you, UpDog!

The MOST stunning studio where you feel like you can truly relax. Did a sound bath here with Catherine that seriously changed my life- highly recommend!

updog studios is a beautiful, bright, clean space! every single instructor is so knowledgeable, kind and welcoming!! there are classes for all skill levels, and lots of modifications! after just 2 months of coming to updog studios consistently I already feel stronger and healthier both mentally and physically❤️ thank you Nicole for the great studio and all the instructors for your classes❤️

My partner and I joined UpDog in January and it's been such a gift to our lives. Nicole runs the loveliest studio - always welcoming, clean, and so blissfully NOT corporate, which I was really ready for after 8 years of the NYC fitness scene... Returning to my yoga practice at UpDog is something I'm grateful for every day. It really is a great community to be a part of and we're definitely here to stay. Can't wait to see the new location on the UWS!

Gorgeous experience! From the moment I walked into the studio it was a welcoming and pleasant environment. Extremely spacious rail road apartment clean, fresh, and cozy. Yoga is a state of mind, the environment around you is a bonus. I felt at peace. Thank you Nicole! Thank you for checking in and making sure we were good.

Wonderful studio with kind and mindful teachers, my favorite in the city after trying around 5 other places as well. Could not recommend more

Decent place. Gets pretty crowded. But it is one of the few places in Harlem that offers yoga and you get what you can. Just a heads up! Please be careful with the memberships, the policies in place aren’t entirely clear and when you want to cancel there’s a $50 cancellation fee. I never signed a contract at the time of my initial sign-up, so I wasn’t aware of their 30-day notice before cancellation nor this cancellation fee (I believe they just added this information to their website but again at the time of my registration it wasn’t there unfortunately). It would have been nice to know this but it happens. I hope they can use this feedback to improve the membership registration process. Overall a good experience. 4 stars! Yay!

Had the pleasure of attending a class here while I was visiting family in Harlem. The space was so beautiful and extremely clean. The class was welcoming of all levels and felt very comfortable. 10/10 would be practicing here regularly if I lived here.

Love it! Great yoga classes and awesome instructors

After the pandemic, it was really hard to find a new yoga studio that I trusted, felt pushed as a practitioner, and also felt at home. UpDog studios does a great job of making students feel at home with their membership perks (storing your personal mat🙏🏻), really helpful on hand toiletries in the bathrooms, and new mats to rent (Manduka brand). There are also plenty room to store your things in cubbies and wall hooks. The space is open and it’s always great to take an early morning class with the light from the many full length windows or an evening class with all the candles and low lighting that really creates a vibe. ✨ The owner teaches an excellent level 2 vinyasa flow on Thursday nights at 6:15 p.m. (make sure to get there early as the class can get busy) and you’re always guaranteed to be challenged and also play with different arm balances or more spicy asanas. Also you may also dance in your downward facing dog due to the playlists. 🎶 Highly recommend taking a class if you’re looking for a accessible and fun yoga or Pilates class and signing up for a membership if you are a local.

This studio is a gem.

This studio is absolutely phenomenal! It’s so airy and clean, and all you need to bring is a mat (but they do rent them for $2). Nicole is an incredible instructor and I’m so glad to have found this place!

I absolutely love this place and I’m so glad a found it. I moved to the city from LA about a year and a half ago and honestly have never quite felt at home. Finding this place a couple blocks from my home has completely changed that. My favorite instructors are Arthur & Arielle, they just feel like home to me. I feel like Arthur himself will really transform me and unbury the yogi in me.

While traveling, I was lucky to find this beautiful studio. Inviting atmosphere. Excellent instruction, good rhythm and breathing, challenging poses with options to modify. Perfect for anyone.

Took a lunch time class while in town. Leah Was my teacher and she was fantastic. She is super knowledgeable, calm and informative. Loved the vibe of the studio and loved my class with a Leah. Will definitely try another class next time I am in town!

Beautiful space, sun filled and sparkling clean. The new owner brings a great vibe to the space. Highly recommend.

Brahman Yoga has high vibrations and good lighting girl. The classes are specific with generous attention given to each participant. I leave each class feeling properly worked with new techniques and things to work on. Strongly recommend this practice to anyone–also peep the donation based classes!

The new owner Nicole is awesome, and so are her classes! I've already seen lots of great changes being made. It's a welcoming, calming yoga studio in the neighborhood. My only suggestion will be cleaning - I wish the floor was a bit cleaner. I've seen quite a bit of dust and hair.

The new owner is amazing! Nicole has clear vision for the studio and is already making great changes. If you’re looking to improve your yoga practice or find a place to recenter yourself this is the place to be.

The space is really beautiful! I have only gone a few times and I prefer some instructors over others (Luis is AMAZING! ) some of the other instructors did not offer quite as many modifications, and being 10 weeks postpartum I found myself feeling discouraged through out the practice. I don’t know that this is the instructor’s fault, I just wish they offered a greater variety of types of classes (ie beginners, gentle flow) I also REALLY wish they offered earlier sessions , like 7am, typically their earliest practice will be at 11am. Nevertheless, very grateful that this is right in my neighborhood

Great, spacious, light filled space with wonderful over an hour class. Unwind and flow!

Check this gym out and you will never be disappointed.

This studio is a hidden gem. The space gets beautiful natural light, and the classes are affordable. The teachers are excellent. The teaching styles vary, so there’s a teacher for everyone. I’ve been practicing yoga in NYC for 10 years. I’ve been to most studios in Manhattan. Sadly a lot of studios permanently closed during the pandemic. This studio stayed open, and it’s now the best studio north of 59th Street. It’s easy to get to from the West Side on the 1, A, B, C, D trains.

Nice number one beautiful best

I went to the beginners class and for the first time actually *enjoyed* yoga.

The space is beautiful, sunny and relaxing. I booked a 1pm with instructor Irina. She was wonderful. I'm a novice and there were a couple poses I didn't know and she subtly explained it to the whole class. I felt super welcomed and comfortable. The location isn't hard to get to either! Would come back.

Bright, clean, affordable yoga studio close to my home. The yoga teachers can be a hit or miss - as with any fitness class, there are others better or worse than the other. Not all of them will do adjustments, and others are very fast that it’s sometimes hard to keep up. I’m not a beginner but yoga practice shouldn’t feel rushed. I like going to the early evening ones, especially during the summer when it’s a little bit cool and they light candles all over the studio. It gives it such a relaxing vibe.

The best studio in Harlem. A lovely place filled with natural light; great teachers from different styles of yoga. Clean, friendly and very accesible prices. The only thing missing in the classes is to include guided pranayama and meditation practice.

Great classes for beginners with excellent teachers

I am absolutely in love with this studio. I just moved to Harlem after living in Brooklyn for 10 years and I feel like I've found my local yoga home. I usually practice downtown at Jivamukti or the Shala, so I'm used to strong Ashtanga-based flows. Brahman gives me just what I need uptown. I still can't believe that such an awesome studio is a 5-minute walk from my apartment! This certainly beats the 30+ minute commute it used to take me to get to an awesome studio from my apartment in Brooklyn (and for half the price). This place is seriously amazing.

Every instructor i had a class with was absolutely amazing and wonderful! Best yoga studio i’ve ever been to

I have done yoga here before. The space is great and the atmosphere relaxing

Felt comfortable from the moment I stepped. Inside the practice salon. Andrea is one of the best instructors I've taken classes with.

Amazing studio with fantastic instructors (especially Kelly). Everything is very clean, plenty of space, and they take the time to create a tranquil atmosphere. Went to my first class their three years and stayed bc of how great everything is. Open level classes are great for those just getting started or those more advance are given options to scale up. I invite you to try it out yourself.

気軽にドロップインできるヨガスタジオ。８ドル＋マットfee で入れるので、ちょっとレッスンに出たくなった時にふらっと行きます。 朝一番のレッスンはドネーション制。

Went there for the first time today and I had such a lovely experience❤️. The place is convenient for me as it is close to City College, which is a plus and the price per session is reasonable.

The fastest-paced yoga I have ever done. The space is open and lovely, but as a warning, no air conditioning, so it's rather warm in the summer. Our teacher was an incredibly talented yoga practitioner, but quite a bit of the class was rapidly switching poses and you are left to figure it out more or less on your own. Also, someone put on my shoes and left with them, so I had to go home in shoes a size too small that did not belong to me, which soured my experience.

The class was good and challenging. It is a lovely space and only $8 for class, and convenient to the 1, A,, B, C, D trains. Suc a wonderful treat for Hamilton Heights.

I enjoyed the class very much. The instructor, Hope, was truly amazing and very helpful. Looking forward to trying it again

Love the space ,Instructors my only dislike it seems that the same students arrive (late) 5-10 minutes , I think,, ones the class starts the door should close and no one should be lAllowed in

I am so fortunate to have this studio right around the corner from where I live. Not only is it a beautiful place for your practice, its bright and spacious with complimentary blocks, straps, towels and blankets. The donation classes are also a big plus for me!

Clean, affordable studio...most instructors are knowledgeable and pleasant; however, I must agree with the previous review regarding the inappropriate music in the background. It only happened to me once and it was a struggle to focus on maintaining postures while listening to loud pop/r&b or whatever it was...she should teach an aerobics class instead.

Great space, community. The simple, uncluttered, and humble vibration makes breathing a little easier.

So honestly the studio is a nice upstairs studio. Clean and full of windows. Just be careful of what teacher you may get. I am fully aware that by being a musician I am very sensitive to energy evokes by sound and music. I will never be able to relax with alternative rock with a heavy beat and fast rhythms playing softly or loud when trying to relax and do yoga or meditate. After having done yoga in Costa Rica and beautiful studios in Seattle and other places in New York, the vibe with this teacher and her music selection was nothing relaxing. It was more stressful than relaxing. There is true science about connections of sound, spirit, health and healing so when the balance does not meet each other, it works against each other. The experience was disconnecting and I never knew alternative rock could be played during a yoga class. It's counter productive

Andrea is AMAZING!!! What a great Yogi!!! Sending her much love and blessings and infinite gratitude!!

Very thoughtful and talented teachers. Very affordable price.

Great studio space, love when its candlelit. Most teachers are have a great flow and i almost always enjoy class

Really wonderful place! I love taking class here. Just relax and focus on my body and my Soul after a long stressful day or to start one in a positive way. Thanks to all the teachers who make this possible!

Every time I go I wonder what took me so long to get back in that wonderful space. Great teachers...and the candlelight sessions give an incredible night's rest

Knowledgeable teachers. Beautiful studio. Don't arrive late and take your shoes off before entering (basic yoga studio rules). Teachers here will help each individual in their practice so no worries. I'm grateful for this studio!

Sister studio of Yoga Agora in Astoria, so if you've been there, you'll know the vibe. Fantastic space that never gets too crowded, really affordable classes with great teachers. Brahman is a vinyasa-style studio that is great for people with some yoga experience; nonetheless, they do have beginner classes a few times a week. Definitely a wonderful space for your practice.

I came here the first time, and now namaste ("imma stay"... get it?? Okay okay, sorry) for the rest of my life! Oh my gosh, words simply cannot begin to convey properly the amount of love I have for Brahman. They are not your average, run of the mill yoga studio looking to get people in and out. They practice what they preach (or rather, mantra? zing!) and portray peace and tranquility throughout the entire session and beyond. Don't have enough to pay? Donate. Can't donate cash? Donate your time. They really just want to spread the message of peace and love, and I certainly love them for it. Namaste, friends.

Best place to be. And renew your soul.
