  I attended the Basics class with Andrea. The class was informative and a very good foundation for learning. Andrea taught us how to modify so we felt comfortable and made the class light but still challenging. I attended through Class pass, but you can't beat an $8 yoga class. The studio is beautiful and in a great location. I already plan to attend again next weekend.

  Pretty studio on the heart of Astoria, medium to small place. Teachers are varied. I have been there many times but just today the teacher Nora kicked me out of the room after the class because I was watching a comical video quietly in a corner. She told me not to disturb the peace in there. I guess some people do need attention and hate electronics! I apologized because she might be having a bad day!!!

  I had a great yoga session at this studio. I went to an intermediate class by donation. The room may seem decent in size, until mats fill the floor and many moving hot bodies fill the space. Waych your elbows, legs, hands, butts, and heads folks! The cramped class isn't necessarily a negative tho. I found it neat to feel the synergy and collective energy from everyone, moving together as .. nearly one. There's always that one person who falls over or is one pose behind (me). Also, many bodies in small space = hot room. It's better for the flow : ) The room is on the second floor with walls made up mostly of windows and a few bright skylights. Very bright and welcoming. The teacher had a pleasant voice and confident instruction. The flow sequences were a bit faster than I'd prefer, but enjoyable regardless. I liked the variety of the 1 hr class, moving from sun salutations to warriors, to a number of poses on the back, and stomach, then also a number of meditative ones at the end (not just one!). I liked how it was by donation, and first come first dibs on mat space. That structure allowed my partner and I to pop in to this class easily, being from out of town and on a spir of the moment kind of schedule. I would return!

  The teachers here are great. I've tried yoga a number of times before at other places, but quit because I never felt like I was doing it correctly and it just wasn't comfortable. Plus, I didn't love the traditional yoga/meditation "music." It just felt like a box I didn't fit into. So far I really like the basic classes that I've taken at Yoga Agora. The teachers have focused on really breaking down each pose and explaining what we should be focusing on to do it better and/or allowing us the freedom to move in each pose until we find what's comfortable. And they mix up the music, which I love! The week before Christmas the ending song that we relaxed to was the Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker. Loved it!
