At Bodhisattva Yoga I am challenged and nurtured. I always learn something new.
~Stefanie, Brooklyn, NY

I love the very small classes with intense personal attention in an atmosphere that is serious and committed while still relaxed and friendly.
~Josh, Brooklyn, NY

I’ve been to a number of yoga classes in CT, and two things are apparent: 1) I was very lucky to have you [Vivekan] teach me the foundations of yoga; 2) most teachers don’t spend nearly enough time doing verbal and physical adjustments. As a result, I don’t go to as many classes as I normally would. So, I hope to see you soon!

I really miss you guys at Bodhisattva Yoga! Please send my best to Vivekan. You both taught me so much. I am continuing on with my practice but have yet to find a studio as welcoming (and challenging) in my new hood.
~Leslie, Brooklyn, NY

I have most definitely incorporated your teachings into my practice, so thank you, teacher [Vivekan]! I remember how carefully and thoroughly you would demonstrate and correct us on poses, so now, for example, when I do Warrior 2, the minute adjustments I make are the ones you showed me…I also remember and miss your “longest shivasana in New York City”! You’re right–other teachers, I find, just don’t give it the time you do.

Yoga Retreat Testimonials

Thanks again for everything you did both upfront and behind the scenes to make the Mexico retreat happen. The time there seems both distant because it was so refreshingly distinct from NYC routine and also close to mind and heart because the company, activities, food and opportunity for reflection so dearly appreciated, their residual warmth still felt in moments of indifference and stress. I also want to reiterate the sense on numerous occasions, in park slope classes and even more strongly on the retreat, of how the spiritual inspiration during class seems aimed directly at me. A selfish feeling for sure, but hopefully one that every yogi and yogini has felt despite any and all efforts to tap into an inspiring group dynamic. Then again, maybe it’s only in focusing selfishly on attaining an inwards sense of peace and repose that we can truly ever say to tap honestly into something communal and selfless.
~Alex, Brooklyn, NY

I loved being on a retreat again, but the group had a different vibe and it made me appreciate the good energy of your [Vivekan] peeps.
~Sue, Baltimore, MD

Thank you again to you [Jess] and Vivekan for everything..It couldn’t have been any better, and I am still in a bit of a cloud!
