What People Are Saying About O M Yoga Ctr

Featured Review

The Scene – Sprawling over 11,500 square feet, red-oak flooring and double-height studios replace the dropped ceilings and fluorescent lighting of a defunct dot-com. Owner Cyndi Lee has gone from two students in a tiny studio on 14th Street to Union Square classes that are full, even on weekday afternoons. – – The Workout – OM offers yoga exclusively, so don't come trying to get your Pilates on. The classes range from prenatal to a restorative that takes place under blankets. OM stresses alignment and mindfulness, so the free-flowing form doesn't get bogged down in…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Although the showers are free, a dry towel or an exercise mat will set you back a buck.
The Extras:
Like Integral Yoga not far away, OM has a store with yoga-related gifts.

overall

  1. What a great place as I took another class there with another teacher, Tania, left briefly before the class began and when I returned, she asked if I was Mark.

  1. find their snobbiness and lack of interest in allowing people to take a class at the expensive, market-place like yoga studio extremely disheartening and very un-yogi.
  2. Om yoga was both rude and snobby both times I used the pass.
  3. The class size could be very big - up to around 40 people at times, literally mat-to-mat.
  4. use a yoga pass book whic is meant for people who cannot afford the highly expensive classes throughout ny, but who would still like to exercise.
  5. The attendants at the front desk are friendly and very approachable.
  6. The teachers are friendly and very attentive.

  2. 3) After doing more research, I found that Om's prices are 20% more than others for NO justifyable reason 4) Worst of all, my friend travels for work a lot, and found out that he can't make it to the 2nd class (that's within the package) within the month.
  3. find their snobbiness and lack of interest in allowing people to take a class at the expensive, market-place like yoga studio extremely disheartening and very un-yogi.

Om Yoga - Effective, Lovely Ambience, Center of Learning

by ZahraJam

I have been frequenting Om on and off since 2003. I love this studio for its peaceful and simple layout. The ambience is sweet and simple. It reflects the very simple buddhist philosophy. Both Cindy and David have done an excellent job to keep the studio up and running. I have attended a few meditation classes run by Cindy and they were unique and profound. I have attended over a dozen studios all across the country and this is more like home to me. Kyle, Cindy and many others provide excellent instructions. There is a good selection of books and yoga gear to browse through. Each studio is given a unique name: Sun, Moon, Forest, and Earth. Om also offers personal yoga sessions. Having tried one over 4 years ago, I have been very fortunate to come across an excellent instructor who taught me some techniques that have been very helpful and stayed with me till now. At Om, it's not the price you pay for a class. I believe it's the donation you make to be introduced to a peaceful, serene and enlightening center of learning. I am a life time Om supporter and truly respect this institute. Highly recommended.

  • Pros: Ambience, Instructors, Philosophy, Studios, Location

Terrible attitude and snobby classes

by tonycee

I have been to Om Yoga twice. I use a yoga pass book whic is meant for people who cannot afford the highly expensive classes throughout ny, but who would still like to exercise. Om yoga was both rude and snobby both times I used the pass. The second time I used it, they wouldn't even let me take the class because I had already been there. NO other yoga studio that I have used the pass at has ever said that to me. I find their snobbiness and lack of interest in allowing people to take a class at the expensive, market-place like yoga studio extremely disheartening and very un-yogi.

Friendly and Stress Free

by 629o

I've been practicing yoga in NYC for about 10 years now. I've tried bikram, jivamukti, crunch and others.

There's something very relaxing about coming to OM. The friendly community feel is genuine. People in the hallways smile at eachother. Teachers are relaxed and supportive. The yoga feels refreshing inside and out. Sometimes I don't sweat as much as when I visit other places but, the relaxed feel from getting off the elevator to getting back on when I leave is a true gift to myself.

  • Pros: Friendly Atmosphere, Variety of Classes & Workshops
  • Cons: Can get crowded in evenings

Relaxation

by NYCgirl1210

This studio is great for relaxation. It is so clean, lots of different rooms and space. Many classes to choose from and at different times so OM is east to fit into my hectic schedule. The teachers are friendly and very attentive. I will definitely continue to take classe here. I get everything i am looking for in one spot! Perfect :)

Om Lacks Atmos...

by yogalia

The studio itself is quite large, with lots of winding hallways and rooms with cutesy names (every yoga studio in the world is guilty of this...oh, that will be taking place in the sky room...you'll be having class in the love room...just leave your mind right outside the earth wind and fire room...) and the dressing rooms are practically palatial compared, which was actually really nice, as I'm so used to bumping elbows (and all kinds of other things) with my fellow dressers.

After getting dressed I lined up with my fellow classmates outside the earth room (sigh) where we would be taking class. Again with the silence! No talking, no laughing, no groovy chant-y music playing...we all just kind of jammed ourselves against the wall and pretended we were alone. Other signs of chilliness: a full-size model of a skeleton staring at me from down the hall. (I mean, I get why it's there, but really...necessary?), and a large-size note next to the perfectly organized rolled-up mats declaring over and over that if you are NOT a member or a teacher you are NOT to touch these mats. Mats for you (oh, non-member peon) are hanging up in the studios!

Finally, the doors opened and we were allowed in to the studio (also huge), and all beige, which I was not super fond of...though the light was nice and because of the monochramatic thing going on it felt kind of ethereal, which I like...and stocked to the brim with mats and props. I found what I thought would be a nice hidden spot, one row from the back, and set myself up....
