For the past 5 months I have been attending classes in Rittenhouse and Old City studio. I love the feeling of Old City space. Jonathan is amazing teacher and Alex is top notch.
Pros: trained teachers fair price plenty of variety
Cons: some classes are packed

honestly, i'm surprised to see so many positive reviews. i attended several classes at dhyana yoga and was extremely disappointed. people seem to forget, yoga has become a business, any place that charges 15 dollars per class is using this intricate philosophy and way of life for their own profits. the presence of celebrities such as Moore and Posi is a clear indication of this studios role in a media and profit driven environment. worst of all is dhyana's cruel treatment of employees of which i have heard several accounts.
Pros: none
Cons: cruel owner, crowded classes, too much talking during class

Having traveled all over and been to quite a few Yoga classes, I was surprised to find the best one every in my own backyard! Recently I was in a class at this studio and Demi Moore and Parker Posey came in, and the students were all buzzing but I have to say the workers in the office at the studio handled themselves so well, they were just as friendly to me when I signed in... that says a lot. I heard Dhyana is opening 3 more studios and can't wait to find out where.
Pros: You can use your class card at both locations and there are TONS of classes, & it's so affordable
Cons: none

I've done some yoga over the years but never stuck with it consistently, but now that I found Dhyana Yoga something finally clicked. I generally don't feel too confident about my body but the friendliness and encouragement of the teachers at this particular place really helps me forget what I look like and concentrate more on what I feel like, WHICH IS GREAT! I would not suggest coming too early for class and they don't really have a place for you to wait more than 10 minutes or so prior to class starting; and I wold suggest taking class with Dhyana if you can, she's really spunky and funny, or with Mia who will make you sweat and laugh the whole time.
Pros: Great teachers
Cons: can't think of any

just the atmosphere i was seeking... i took an intro workshop with Dhyana, the owner, and it was pefect. Not only was her passion for yoga obvious but her calm, friendly demeanor and fun personality combined to create a top-notch atmosphere. Dhyana's approach and energy will appeal to the seasoned practitioner and most apprehensive and nervous of new- comers. I highly recommend the beginner workshop when available if you are new or fairly inexperienced with yoga. this will give you an opportunity to learn about the roots of yoga and receive a gentle introduction to basic poses and how to make them work for your level of practice. and the studio is spacious, beautiful and airy!
