Yoga High follows the Hatha Vinyasa style of yoga, which is the “flowing” and elastic style, and includes music from diverse genres in order to synchronize your heartbeat with the sound and amplify your sensorial experience. Professionals advocate yoga because the act of meditation appears to slow age-related mental decline whilst enabling the individual to achieve a state of mental clarity and equilibrium; the fluidity of the movements truly helps you get your mind in touch with your body. Health and well-being studies positively correlate yoga with higher self-esteem and energy levels in addition to a heightened sense of balance and a stronger core. This is because it stretches not only your muscles but also the soft tissues of your body, including ligaments, tendons, and the fascia sheath that surrounds your muscles. Furthermore, physicians claim that the complex physical postures and breathing techniques can offset sub-optimal health problems such as asthma, depression, anxiety and chronic lower back pain in addition to augmenting flexibility and strengthening muscles.

“What an amazing place…Yoga High is where I found my NYC Community. The teachers are incredible and encourage students to find authenticity in their practice. I’ve ‘done’ yoga at many studios, but I only found my ‘practice’ when I started going to Yoga High. Owners Mel and Liz are open and down to earth, giving with their time and knowledge of Yoga. Beyond the incredible people they attract, the studio is a beautiful place to practice, always clean, and always full of great energy!”- Sarah H., Yelp

“Yoga High is great. Beautiful space is and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are in a different place. I have nothing but positive things to say about it. I’ve been going there since it opened and I have to say it’s the best yoga studio I have been to in NYC and it has a nice, neigborhood vibe. The owners and teachers are all very friendly and generous about answering questions and giving advice even after the classes end. I am a level one student and the one thing Yoga High offers which is worth taking is 3 hour Beginner Workshops they have once a month. As a beginner it gave me a good introduction to Yoga so I felt more comfortable in the regular classes.”- RC, Yelp

“I stumbled upon Yoga High while walking down Clinton Street a few months ago. It’s great. The classes and the workshops are really good. Yoga High has a beautiful space with large windows that allow natural light to come in. Very relaxing atmosphere. Another thing I love about Yoga High is that it’s sooo clean - really important to me for a Yoga studio.”- cringenyc, New York Magazine
