Read More On Citysearch MMagS 5/12/2010 - Good Stuff!If you like diversity, challenge, and yoga with a more "dancey" feel this studio is for you. The rooms are awesome with tons of windows, and they really know how to use lights to create a perfect ambience. The diversity of teachers and knowledge that these teachers bring to each class is awe-inspiring!! It's a small enough studio that you really can easily cultivate relationships between teachers...
Read More On Citysearch Trisha D 11/13/2009 - Excellent Yoga StudioI shopped around Chelsea for a yoga studio after several years away from practice due to two herniated discs in my lower back. From the moment I walked in to Joschi Body Bodega, I knew I had found something special. Very friendly, no attitude, a comfortable well designed space and great classes. What more could you ask for? The classes are challenging but the focus is on safety. As Joschi always ...
Read More On Citysearch wileyk 4/24/2009 - You'll Get ResultsI love spending time at this studio! Monika welcomes everyone by name, the space is gorgeous and there's absolutely no attitude. All of the teachers are dedicated to getting the best out of their students, but the real draw is Joschi himself. His classes are challenging and fun. He's famous for his one-liners: "Come on, it's your buttocks!"
Read More On Citysearch Jetset2001 4/6/2009 - certifiably charmingI just did my teacher training at Joschi so I was required to take 200 hours of yoga there and still I would go back in a second! The teacher training program there is great and affordable but if you're just looking to practice, i think the place is a real find in some ways.
There's very little pretention, it looks more like a spa than a yoga studio. It's very homelike, people know each other...
Read More On Citysearch mjhawkinson 3/31/2009 - Vinyasa Flow GemMany good things to say about this studio. First, they have something that no other yoga studio I've tried in the City has (not that I've tried them all, but quite a few): a big, beautiful classroom with windows on three sides that's in the back of the building--so it's quiet but open to the outside world. I went to one of Joschi's sweaty advanced classes on a hot and humid summer evening, and...
Read More On Citysearch rbs2140 7/24/2008 - No back pain!I checked out several Pilates studios before joining Joschi Body Bodega. It is very convenient and classes are scheduled often enough I can make several during the week. The studio is lovely, well maintained and managed. The teachers are wonderful, especially the gifted Joschi. He?s classes are thorough and demanding but never intimidating. I can even say the classes are fun. Fellow students are ...
Read More On Citysearch cwrdd 7/18/2008 - My special place in NYC - keep smiling!!!I used to be the person who didn't like sports much (I have tried several sports, including Yoga), and I had pretty much decided that walking around the city and partying on weekends would be enough sports for me. Then came the day when I was dragged to Joschi by my mom. It was love at first sight. The studio is super clean and perfectly organized, Joschi's classes (Yoga and Pilates) are outstand...
Read More On Citysearch missZRH 7/16/2008 - Why I Am A Regular, Why I Keep GoingInstructors 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?
Read More On Citysearch ABCnativeNYer 7/14/2008 - I'm a believer!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 u...

The teachers are wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. They bring their positive energy into each class and are very supportive. It's so great that every class I go to is different and has that special something that always makes me excited to find out what's going to happen next. But what's so...

I just love the classes, the vibe is super friendly and the teachers are amazing. It's great to have found my new yoga home and be part of a real community. Thank you!
Read More On Citysearch ruthsol 7/9/2008 - Not my idea of a yoga studio. Disappointing.
I wanted to like this studio but I don't at all. There is something strangely pretentious about Joschi. He is an obvious perfomer rather than a yoga teacher. I find his manner a trifle phoney for my taste. That said, I took a class with another instructor who really did not know her left from her right. Lots of jump switches. Then in one class she was like, "Yoga teachers hate when students ...
Read More On Citysearch janeisola 7/8/2008 - They learn your name!I was a bit nervous going into my first yoga class ever but Joschi made me feel like I've been going there for years. Joschi isn't like a regular studio owner because he actually pays attention to his students and not the profit. He is a wonderful person who takes the time to learn your name, ask your opinions and help you get the most out of your class. If you are going to pay to learn something...
Read More On Citysearch ManhattanDolly 5/30/2008 - EXCELLENT ! Joschi Body Bodega= Mind, Body, and HeartHello! I have been practicing yoga for 5 years, at home and in numerous studios in my travels. I wanted to find a place that gave me a sense of comfortableness, similar to what I get from my home. When I came across Joschi's Body Bodega, the studio immediately became my home practice away from home. I love Joschi himself, Monika, and all the teachers that have been carefully placed by the studi...

Read More On Citysearch dardidthis 1/24/2008 - Fantastic since Day 1My 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...

Classes are quite amazing, never boring and challenging (but always within what your body can do during that practice). Monica alwa...
Read More On Citysearch misskoo021 1/2/2008 - You'll feel like a new person...I started classes at Joschi almost a year ago and can't imagine my life without it. The environment is friendly and non-judgmental and the students and teachers couldn't be more positive and outgoing. After a long day of work and stress, going to Joschi just melts every annoyance and worry away. I highly recommend it!!

It is truly a great workout that I look forward to and I have yet to push the classes aside. Joschi changes his pilates routine every class which makes all the classes unique and fun. The exercises work all the muscles groups and I can guarantee that is a TOTAL body work out...

Joschi is a fantastic studio with such a positive atmosphere. I've never loved to exercise, but the pilates classes here are so much fun and a GREAT workout! And everyone makes you feel so welcome.

Read More On Citysearch ueslady 12/28/2007 - Attitude... attitude
Previous ratings have catapulted this place to 5 stars.
However, Monika's attitude level dissolves all those stars --- unless you have the $$$$ to flash, she is unyielding and has zero PR skills.
Save your stars for a more likeable person.
Read More On Citysearch rouge_hermes 12/27/2007 - most fantasticThe most fantastic, very hip new Yoga studio in town has opened on 23rd between 6th and 7th. The owner/Yogi's name is Joschi. Trained in Yoga as well as dance, he is a true master with an almost hypnotic voice and a body to match. He is absolutely amazing! He has me doing things I never thought possible after my years of sport-related injuries!
