I love all the classes here. As someone with scoliosis, a herniated disc and back pain Samamkaya has been life changing for me. I especially love Ashlee Willaman’s class on Tuesday evenings.

I was welcomed into the studio by first name, which was so nice. Jon is a very thoughtful, nurturing, helpful and educational teacher. I was very pleased and immediately purchased more classes. I loved my experience!

Great class! It began with discussion of what participants felt were their physical therapy needs for the day's session. The therapist provided a series of stretches with explanations. It was done with ease and it was effective!

Wendy’s class was incredibly helpful! I’ve been having back issues and today my back feels very nurtured. This was so different from any yoga class I’ve ever attended. I thought the time Wendy spent carefully outlining how to keep the body in alignment and checking on everyone individually was invaluable. I’ll be coming back very soon!

I absolutely love Samamkaya! All the teachers are very knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to helping each individual student understand their body and feel their best. I look forward to every opportunity to take a class or workshop here.

I’ve just started my practice again after COVID and as always my experience with Samakaya was warm and comfortable. I enjoyed Jon’s class, (I’m partial to Debra for a multitude of reasons❤️) however he gave great instruction and helpful adjustments. Anyone with scoliosis or back pain should try Samakaya. You’ll feel great!

It was a great workshop on Yoga for Scoliosis taught by Elise Browning Miller. The studio is comfortable and well equipped for all needs. The environment was friendly and encouraging . The content of the workshop was very informative and thorough . Elise has great expertise on a topic . There was a lot of personalized feedback provided to all participants by the organizers.

I love it here! I am enrolled in the Adaptive Yoga class. For years, I tried to fit into general yoga spaces yet felt my structural limitations (fused spine) and chronic health conditions were not fully considered or addressed. It left me fearful of injury. This studio changed that!Every week super knowledgeable instructors model safe techniques and tailor modifications in an intimate setting without compromising the benefit of a satisfying yoga, mind-body experience. I feel seen, much more self aware, empowered and relieved I found this space :)

The classes at Samamkaya are helpful in managing my various old injures and arthritis and generally keeping me feeling good. It can also be fun interacting with my fellow studentsToday's class was especially helpful for my shoulders and gave me new exercises to consider. It was a very restorative practice. Jon who was a sub today is a great teacher as is our usual teacher Debby.

Extension & Expansion with Susan Elena Esquivel this past weekend was terrific! Her information and demonstrations were clear and well sequenced. I appreciated the long holds in poses and her spot-on adjustments. I will attend again when she returns to NYC. The studio itself is always a pleasure - clean, neat and all the props you could possibly need. Don't miss it!
