At Ishta Yoga in Union Square, calm isn’t something you chase, but more so something you step into. Amidst the rush of the city, this sunlit, spacious studio gives a rare pause button for busy New Yorkers looking to reset, recharge, and reconnect.
Rooted in the meaning of “that which resonates with the individual spirit,” Ishta blends Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda into a deeply personalized approach to yoga. Founded by Yogiraj Alan Finger, the studio combines ancient wisdom with modern, accessible teaching so every class feels tailored, not templated.
From grounding beginner flows and mobility-focused sessions to dynamic Vinyasa, challenging strength-building classes, meditation, and restorative practices, each class style is designed to meet you where you are.
The result? A stronger body, calmer nervous system, improved posture, and clearer mental focus that carries beyond the mat. And with amenities like changing rooms, blocks, mats, bolsters and the like, there's nothing stopping you from squeezing in a transformative session into your busy schedule.
With 40+ weekly classes and expert instructors guiding every level, Ishta makes it easy to build a consistent practice, whether you’re here to sweat, stretch, or fully switch off...

Ishta Yoga garners a terrific 4.2 Stars on Yelp from 135+ reviews including:
"I took a wonderful restorative yoga class with Gina today! It was my first time to the studio and I LOVE it. Easy to find, good location, ground floor, friendly receptionist - but the studio itself has so much space and that can be rare to find in NYC! Everyone had their own space and it was a full class. Gina was incredible, guiding us through a series of long restorative poses, encouraging us to set an intention, and listen to our bodies. Can't wait to continue my practice in this beautiful studio."
"My favorite yoga studio in NYC and a gem. Tons of good teachers depending on what you're looking for. The meditation classes are great too. Bonus: the main studio is large, spacious and beautifully zen; rarely feeling cramped or too crowded, which in NYC is a luxury."
"Ishta Yoga is a lovely studio with a variety of classes for all students. Yin, Restorative, as well as different level classes. The teachers are very good and open to helping students. The studio is cozy and peaceful. Highly recommend!"
