Third Root Community Health Center

Literally just got a Swedish massage here. Really fantastic masseuse named Leah, Friendly and warm front desk staff. Great massage and overall experience. Would absolutely come back another time.

I just started the yoga classes. I was uneasy doing it but the instructor Emily was pleasant patient and great. They offer package prices or pay per class. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. I would definitely recommend this place.

I was in a real crisis this week, and I knew I needed to focus on wellness. I had never tried acupuncture, but it had come highly recommended by healing-​minded people in my life, and I was able to make a same-​day appointment (within just 2 hours! it was perfect). Julia performed my acupuncture, and she was amazing. I barely felt the needles, and she was kind and generous with her attention and helping me stay warm :-) And the sliding scale makes it affordable for me, so I can keep coming back. I felt so grounded afterward. I dozed off for sure, because it was such a calming, pleasant atmosphere. I’m so glad for Third Root! Thanks for being there in a time of need.

They have affordable community acupuncture services and yoga classes. A nice calm place to visit in the middle of Brooklyn.

I had a massage about 2 hours ago. I am still in awe of how good I feel. I am probably the hardest person to massage bc what usually happens is I have a weird nerve sensation twitch when people try and massage sensitive parts of my back. In the past, I have been so concerned preparing my body for uncomfortable massages… I usually don’t enjoy them.
I am a photographer and have chronic back pain. I can 100% say that today I had the BEST massage of my life. I was the most relaxed I have ever been– I have had so many massages, but Keisha (hope I spelled her name right) was seriously the VERY BEST I have ever had. Every single thing she did was magical… it was so good!
I almost don’t want to write this review bc I want her all to myself, but the world must know about her and this amazing place. The third root vibe is super chill and friendly. Everyone I met there was very warm. I am so grateful to know of this place and Keisha and that it’s in my own neighborhood. If Unilocal had an emoji… It would be the biggest smiling happy face ever. Thanks everyone especially Keisha. I have literally never felt so good in my life. I will be back very soon.
xoxoxoxo THANK YOU!

I never experienced acupuncture before. I heard so many great things about Third Root so, I checked them out. My practitioner was Jomo. He took his time with me, asked me questions about myself and life, then he explained the process. I felt so comfortable with him. My session was absolutely amazing and there was never any sense of rushing! Jomo even gave me a mini back rub.
I have to say that my experience was life altering and Jomo not only made me a believer in the powers of acupuncture but, now has me as a regular. Another bonus is, the space is totally cute, smells great, and has a very welcoming energy. The folks who work there are sweet as pie. I’d give this place 10 stars if I could!

Shri Devi is such a kind and wonderful teacher. There’s queer yoga, prenatal yoga, occasional yoga for kids (this should be a regular thing)!! No mirrors. Right by the train. Such a blessing to have this place in the neighborhood.

So far I’ve only done the acupuncture and massage here, but it’s been wonderful. I’ve seen Jomo, Makeba and Geleni, all of whom have done amazing work to help me heal and feel centered. I hope to take some yoga classes soon. The location is easy to get too and such a comforting and cute space, the staff are kind, and they offer a sliding scale on prices. I highly recommend Third Root!

I go to many different places in New York for my yoga, Iyengar Institute in Brooklyn and Manhattan, NYSC, Golden Bridge Yoga. I find Third Root to have a refreshing, community-​based vibe that is affordable, unpretentious, welcoming, down-​to-​earth, and covenient (I live nearby).

I don’t go to yoga super often, but when I do I LOVE coming here for Queer & Trans yoga. It’s the most welcoming environment. All the instructors and staff are super friendly. Everything is clean. And I just feel super warm and safe and like I need to get myself together and go to yoga more often.

Nice spot for yoga in DP. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. I wish the rooms ventilated a little better – it can get pretty hot and occasionally not-​so-​fresh in there by the end of the day – but I’ll definitely keep coming back. New students get a deal on 3 classes, and 10-​class packages are available as well (do I wish there was something in between? Yes.)

First time having acupuncture. (I had a reaction with Mona similar to another reviewer, but way less extreme. She explained this happens sometimes and I figure every needle can’t be a pleasant one if you go in for help.) Mona was calm, interested, and knowledgeable. The small space was warm and gender inclusive. Community acupuncture with a sliding scale is a great way to get what you need if you’re interested in getting started.

Best yoga studio in New York City. Cozy, beautiful space, excellent teachers, no attitude, and welcoming to all people. A much-​needed light in the world of American yoga!

I visited Third Root for the third time today. My first two times I went to beginner yoga with Emily. I enjoyed the energy she put into the classes and the way she seemed to know everyone personally even if it’s your first class. It’s a very laid back place and I like the general vibe.
Today, I went for community acupuncture and have mixed feelings, but it ended well, hence the 4 stars. I was greeted by Mona who was very nice. I’ve had acupuncture mostly in Chinatown, and I have never once felt a needle go in. Each of the six needles she used, I felt, and 4 out of the 6 caused me pain. She walked away. She must have seen the pain on my face and came over and asked what was up. I told her one in particular was hurting and she pulled that one and the one on the other side. She said I should feel it but it shouldn’t be torture. She left again. One needle began to ache and I moved my arm the slightest bit when a surge of pain ran through my body, I Unilocaled, and began to cry uncontrollably it hurt so much. Luckily, Jomo was in the room, he came over and not only took the needle out, ending my suffering, but he sat with me for 20 minutes while I cried and he walked me through some breathing and held my hand until I was calm. He brought me water and put some heat on me and I felt much better. Mona returned and seemed to have no knowledge of my breakdown and searched for the needle even after I told her that Jomo had removed it because it caused a terrible shooting pain. Her response: I’ve had that happen. She worked two of the needles which caused a slight surge of tingling/​burning but the feeling was familiar and not bad. She removed the three needles left, and said I could stay until I felt ready. She left. I thought this was weird since the other person there had come in before me and was still getting treatment. I was about to leave when Jomo came over and asked if he could do some acupressure on my neck. He finished with the other client and came over and very gently worked on me for what felt like the right amount of time.
I felt relaxed and had slightly less pain than when I arrived, thanks mostly to Jomo. I made an appointment with him and look forward to his healing touch which really astounded me. I am very sensitive and need a gentle hand and voice and he saved the day. My arm still hurts, like a sore muscle or something. I will be back for yoga and Jomo.

I’ve never experienced such warmth and acceptance in a yoga class! And on top of that, they also push you to do better without judgment.

If your looking for a place to get centered come here! It’s a one stop shop for all your wellness needs. They provide great services that include acupuncture, meditation, massage, yoga. There community acupuncture is a unique feature that I’ve haven’t seen anywhere else. There acupuncture services is based on a sliding scale which is reasonable. Single yoga class is $ 15.00.
I’ve taken yoga there many times and enjoy the small classes and detail attention from the experienced instructors. The studio is simple clean and inviting. They provide everything…, mats, blocks, blankets, storage for your things.
For first time seekers try the intro to yoga pack that’s only $ 30 for three yoga classes. It expires within a month and gives you plenty of time to try different yoga classes and get your zen on.

My first Unilocal review! I’m recently unemployed and have been attending the Wednesday 11:15am class with Shelley. I love her class so much that I had to write a review! It’s relaxing without being boring, her voice is calming, and the lavender at the end of class is very soothing. I’ve been to many yoga studios and I highly recommend this one. Granted it’s on a weekday morning, but I’ve never been to a yoga class where there’s less than 5 students. I feel so spoiled! They are very welcoming and the best part is that they are walking distance from my apt. I think I found the one :)

Today is my 1^st anniversary since my «incident» and I owe a MAJOR part of my recovery to this institution.
Going thru snow to get there, was worth the effort.
First impressions are always important and this Org. STEPPED UP!
From the receptionists to my very first acup. session with Ju… who is very nurturing, made me continue
. Even though that first time left me bruised, I still went back.
Boy was it worth it !!!
I then & now have private acup with another, J. The man is phenomenal !!!
In order to make it all possible, I applied for a scholarship, which Ge. made possible and affordable as I am still unemployed and disabled (but much improved) .
Everyone who applies their craft there are super supportive, warm​-hearted​.my use of positive adjectives can fill this page.
Therefore, if you are attuned to this message and need this kind of support…
LOOK NO FURTHER!

I had a combo acu/​massage session with Jomo recently that kinda changed my life. This dude is a miracle worker. He was incredibly attentive and focused and really took his time with treating me for insomnia. It worked like a charm. I’ve also had wonderful treatments from other practitioners, including Julia, Makeba, Geleni, Sherley, Stephen, and Angela. Also, the yoga teachers are top notch. Try Gentle with Emily if you are new to yoga; it’s soooo relaxing. I feel so lucky to live in the vicinity of this beautiful, much-​needed place and its wonderful practitioners, and the fact that it is sliding scale and accessible is all the better.

This space is so special… :-) a great place for transformation.
