Upper West Side Yoga and Wellness

A studio riding the west side’s rhythm, Upper West Side Yoga and Wellness offers mat-based movement and mindful recovery without fuss. You’ll find Hatha stepping in line with faster Vinyasa flows, plus Yin holds that stretch the day’s tight spots. Shoulders and necks often drop in for the Therapeutic stretch, while parents sneak away to the Prenatal session down the hall. If breathwork beats the noise, their Pranayama circle lands mid-morning on Wednesdays.

The building sits on quiet 85th between Columbus and Amsterdam, inside a 1910 walk-up that keeps the ceilings tall and the street noise low. Cross the corner from Zabar’s loading dock and the scent of coffee drifts in on class changeovers. Same block hosts a 24-hour Duane Reade if you lock keys inside your mat bag.

Schedule shifts with the seasons, so checking their board the evening before helps avoid front-door scramble. Monthly passes cover as many slots as you burn; drop-ins stay under twenty. Morning slots empty fast when the Upper West Side jogs past on its way to Central Park.

Print the map, aim for the subway stairs, and follow the Bach soundtrack echoing from the second-floor landing. Call (212) 595-2221 to lock in tomorrow’s spot or chase a last-minute cancellation. Bring quarters for the meter on 85th; the three-hour spots are gone by 9:10.
