I was patting myself on the back for getting to a 9:15am class one weekend, but when I arrived I already saw that the 8am class was packed with even more ambitious morning people. The staff is as pleasant as can be and the clientele are all in fairly good shape. The space is clean and very serene but also quite cramped, especially the changing area. Like most yuppy, gorgeous new businesses in Brooklyn, Tangerine is located on a somewhat seedy looking street, but it is located near several train lines so you're not going out of your way to do some hot sweaty yoga. There are so many less expensive, genuinely serene/spiritual, or just simply more comfortable places to do yoga, right in this neighborhood or surrounding areas. It's a shame, because I work very close by, but even with the convenience, I will not be coming back. The teachers are unexceptional, and one teacher, whose name I forget, was possibly the worst, gym-teacher-ish, unyogic teacher I've ever encountered (and I've done yoga everywhere in this city, including gyms and YMCAs). As mentioned elsewhere, there are no showers.Īs another Yelper said, they don't cultivate a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. It's already on the expensive side ($20/class), and this tactic of fitting as many people as humanly possible into the room seems obnoxious and greedy.įurther, the changing/locker rooms are tiny-people were packed in, sweaty elbows and knees jabbing everywhere, with several people lined up to get in as soon as someone exited. While this is a beautiful space, and convenient to get to via the A/C/G train, I have a very negative impression of the place based on the amount of people they shoe-horn into classes, disregarding the comfort and safety of the students. I've taken 4 classes here (I purchased a beginner's package). The epitome of a yuppie commercial yoga studio. I will definitely be returning and cannot wait for my next class! She also did not play music, which was not make or break for me but would have been nice during our flow. (I've seen Mrs.Myers used multiple times) you eventually get used to the smell, but you can tell everyone is working hard. One improvement they could make is possibly spraying an oil or cleaner in between classes. I think we have all taken a class where we see dust bunnies hopping around which really changes my mood altogether. The room was very clean, which is extremely important. Tamara also made sure that every student had proper alignment which I really enjoyed, because you could tell how passionate she truly was about her class It was not too difficult for any level, and she offered different variations based on experience level. She was extremely helpful and active throughout class, which is why they really deserve 5 stars. Her adjustments gave me LIFE and really completed my practice. I took Tamara's class which was only an hour and really flew by. It's very similar to my home studio in Philly, (no mirrors, hot room, small biz/family-owned vibes) and I felt amazing after my class. I have been on the hunt for a Hot Vinyasa studio in Brooklyn for the past few months and have not had much luck until I came to Tanergine. If it was THAT serious I would've RAN instead of power walked for that one ass minute.ĭidn't even offer an alternative or nothing, It just felt like "welp you missed you class, come again" The late policy wasn't as strict as she made it seem. She didn't even observe what was going on to accommodate me. If you are on a waitlist on a plane, or any waitlist of that matter, and the pilot is not even ready at that time, that person on the waitlist is getting the f up out of that seat for the person who reserved it. I was upset when she looked me straight in the face and seriously said it's 10:31 when the class hasn't even started yet. I check in with the receptionist she tells me "sorry but it is now 10:31 and the class is full and the people on the waitlist have entered the class" I walk in at 10:30 at this point people are still walking into the class grabbing towels ect. I tried to call and let the the receptionist know that I was walking right around the corner (10:29) no answer. I had a class that started at 10:30 on Saturday 1/26/19. Iam giving this place 4 stars because this encounter I had with the receptionist was way extra. I came here 4 years ago and decided this year to come back and sign up with a monthly renewal membership.
