What People Are Saying About Sonic Yoga

The Owner

Sonic Yoga

Owner

Sonic Yoga is a lighthearted yoga community nestled in the heart of New York City's White-hot Hells Kitchen district. Sonic is known for teaching melting, rejuvenating, healing and, yes, even sweat-drenching physical, emotional and spiritual vinyasa (flow) practices.

The wonderful teachers go out of their way to make the studio a true oasis for all abilities. Sonic offers special workshops for absolute beginners every week.

Of course, the heart of Sonic Yoga are its teachers and its space. With two sun-washed practice rooms, the space just makes you say "ahhhhhh" and the compassionate and talented family of teachers make every practice a joy.

Sonic also offers a Yoga Alliance accredited 200-hour program at reasonable tuition with a schedule designed to accommodate full-time careers.

The Scene – You won't see murals of Shiva or hear more than a few "om"s in either of the all-white, 80-degree studios with gauzy curtains. This hip vinyasa duplex sidesteps cultural signifiers that can alienate some 30-somethings as it manifests an occidentally flavored version of the Eastern spiritual practice that's also a full-body workout. Crowds have heeded the Sonic call, so get here early to avoid being pinned against the wall. – – The Workout – What's in a name? In this case, the word sonic refers to many things: the harmonic vibe of the space, the groovy…

Lovely Sunday Evening - Vinyasa, Kundalini & Centering Exp

by ZahraJam

In an effort to continue with my exploratory yoga practice, I took a Sunday evening class at Sonic, named as "Center". It included meditation, very active vinyasa flow and some kundalini practices. The instructor was amazing and she kept the practice challenging.

The studio waiting area requires some better lighting system, but the front desk team was very welcoming, polite and congenial.

The studio's entrance and waiting area are tight in space, but the actual class studio is spacious enough.

I would definitely go back to attend the weekend classes.

Fabulously happy place!

by ca2376

I loved Sonic from the moment I walked in the door. Sonic's teachers are inspiring, knowledgeable, super fun and gracious. The overall vibe at Sonic is relaxed and super friendly. A great mix of the spirituality of yoga, without being super rigid, and fun. Going to class here is like playtime for grown ups! Be sure to catch a reggae yoga class too!

  • Pros: teachers, vibe
  • Cons: What are the drawbacks?
