My first class at Joschi's was almost a year ago; not only was I new to the studio, but I was totally new to yoga. I had prepared myself to be a little intimidated and overwhelmed, but found the exact opposite even on my first day. Monika greeted me (by name!), and Joschi was a warm and giving teacher -- pushing me to my limits while still making me feel comfortable and capable. Every day since has been as great as that first one. I've taken yoga & Pilates classes with almost all of the teachers -- each brings his / her own perspective to the practice, but the common thread is a commitment to create a fun, inviting, and nurturing environment. Even as the number of students grows, Joschi's studio continues to feel like a private oasis. I feel lucky to have found such a wonderful home for my practice. - Brandi S.
It gives me great joy to write a fabulous review about an amazing place, Joschi Body Bodega. Thanks to all those special folks working there that have helped me and continue to help me forget my personal selfishness, deepen my yoga knowledge and broaden my practice & mind more and more. Practice is the most important part and being able to do it with such a wonderful group of people and in such an amazing space is truly a gift. Joschi, Monika, Meg and Michael have inspired me in so many ways... to find peace and joy within myself and to share that enlightenment with all humanity. Thank you for being you and for sharing it with the world. Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi- Tom R.
I love this studio and am very grateful to have been able to practice here. The owners, Joschi and Monika, are wonderful and treat you like family. The space is a gorgeous environment to practice yoga. It's spotlessly clean and simple and serene - gorgeous hard wood floors and I absolutely love the ceiling. But what really makes this place sensational are the superb teachers who give their all to their students with love, patience and a great talent for conveying the beauty of yoga.The other students quickly become familiar faces. The studio is very welcoming and has a neat variety of classes that aren't available at the standard NYC studios. - Jen G.
Instructors are spot on in how they guide students-gentle but firm encouragement for all. Sequencing in the classes, yoga or Pilates, are creative and challenging for all students increasing mental and physical flexibility and strength. All students are treated the same-with respect, encouragement and honesty. Questions are encouraged and answered. What more could you ask for? - Terry M.
I'll never stop going to pilates at Joschi's. The results I've gotten by taking 2-3 classes per week are amazing! Simply by adding pilates - with Joschi and his staff - to my workout schedule, I've dropped 3 sizes and 20 lbs. I'm never bored - every class is different and varied. All props are included - you don't have to drag your equipment around the city - it's all there! Monika greets us by name and with a smile. Joschi is a breath of fresh air as an instructor - he's smart, funny and congenial. During each class, it's obvious that he really cares about his students. No matter what your fitness level, you will see results! - Pam P.
