DIG Yoga

I’ve tried getting into yoga a few times in three different cities. DIG is the only studio that has made me want to keep at it. The studio is beautiful, clean and bright. The teachers are encouraging and welcoming; and their instruction, crystal clear. DIG is so great that I brought my boyfriend (never been to a gym, dragged his feet to class) to Basics with Nathaniel. Almost three months later, he continues to go weekly even when I can’t make it!

I am a big fan of DIG YOGA! I have tried about 5 other yoga studios in the city and DIG has always made me feel the most welcome.
I took the beginner series at DIG twice, about 1.5 years apart from from one another. Both teachers and their assistance were extremely helpful and explained the «yoga basics» and poses in great detail. They really took the extra time to drill down into the details, to be sure all of their students understood the reason behind their instruction. They explained what muscles you should be engaging and why. I compared this experience to another beginner series that I took with a friend at another studio in Center City. That class was basically just a gentle class with little explanation. If I had never taken yoga before, I would have been completely lost in that other class. So, if you want a great first experience with yoga, I highly recommend the DIG Beginner Series.
I have taken some other workshops and classes at DIG recently and I have enjoyed all of them. The teachers at DIG are so much more engaging that some of the teachers I have had at other studios. They are great at providing the critiques needed in order for their students to improve their practice, and they have a pretty full schedule of classes to meet almost anyone’s schedule. DIG also hosts a lot of weekend workshops with some top-​notch guest instructors.
The only potential downside to DIG, is that they do not offer hot yoga. I have a love/​hate relationship with hot yoga at the moment, so I am OK with leaving that out of my practice for now. But if hot yoga is your thing, I guess DIG would not be a one-​stop shop for you.

All of the teachers are top-​notch and there are a variety of classes and workshops to help keep even the most experienced yogi engaged. A warm, casual, and inviting atmosphere like no other studio I have visited. If you are new to new to yoga, or are looking to get more serious about your practice, be sure to try one of the Basics classes. My favorite is with Nathaniel… the wind beneath my yogi wings.

This place has attracted really great, welcoming people from teachers to students. The teachers make an authethic effort to get to know each student. All poses are given with different modifications so you can get the most out of each class. There are no yoga divas here. I have taken some great classes taught by Alison, Nathaniel, Mariel, and Larry. My favorite is the DIG hour with Alison. Any time I meet people who are scared to try yoga it makes me want to introduce them to DIG.

If you are looking for a yoga home this is it. The staff are warm and welcoming as well as the space. I have been coming to DIG since it first opened and although I can’t come (nearly) as often as I would like to, staff remembers my name and greets me with a smile.
Now, the instructors are all amazing. I have never walked out feeling defeated, rather inspired. I am usually able to go to DIG hour which is just enough for me. It is taught at a mixed level, but beginners and well as more advanced are given modifications /​advancements. My biggest complaint about many yoga studios /​classes is that anatomical placement is not the first priority– well here at DIG it is. Every instructor is knowledgeable and have the lightest but most effective touch in order for you to get into the posture most effectively.
I hate to play favorites because everyone there is amazing, but Mariel and Kilkenny are my personal faves. Those two always have a smile and realize yoga is serious, but still fun! I love this place and the people! If you live in Queen Village or Bella Vista you must come– and if not it is worth the trip!

I had taken random yoga classes on and off for the last decade, but always had anxiety about going to class due to my own insecurities about not knowing what I was supposed to be doing (which I realize now is the opposite of what I should have been doing :)). With a growing number of external stressors in my life, I knew I had to make yoga a part of my weekly routine in order to save my sanity and get back in touch with myself.
I decided to do the 4 week beginner workshop with Gina, and I am forever grateful to her for the experience. With each class I gained more confidence in myself. Gina’s calm and nurturing demeanor was just what I needed. She reminded me that I needed to stop trying to be something/​some way that I was not, and to accept myself as I was. I cried during every savasana at the end of class because I was so happy to have this time for myself; a time of love and positivity that my life was so lacking.
The training I received at Dig left me confident and excited to bring my practice to the next level. Though I had to move out of town only after a few classes at Dig, I can honestly say it is one of the things I will miss most about Philly. I have now made yoga a permanent part of my life and I am so thankful that I started my yoga journey at Dig and especially, with Gina. I cannot thank her enough for showing me all that yoga can be. Namaste.

Absolutely fantastic. I have practiced at 5 different studios in Philly over the past 10 years. DIG Yoga is hands down the best. The teachers are just amazing, especially Nikki. The classes are are varied and ALWAYS challenging!!! Core work is always included, which I love! A strong core is so important in yoga. The space is clean and beautiful, although these teachers are so good, I would practice here if it was in a garage. If you are a beginning yogi, I couldn’t think of a better place to start; if you are looking to build strength and deepen your practice, you will not be disappointed!!!

So sad I’ve moved states and can’t attend here anymore. The classes are thoughtful, comfortable, and the space is utterly beautiful and relaxing. I would recommend going during the week for your first time, as on the weekends it can get very crowded. In my opinion, Kilkenny and Mariel were some of the best yoga instructors I’ve ever had. An absolute pleasure!

DIG is superb. Everything from the beautiful sky-​lit, white studio to the instructors is 100% on point.
I took Larry’s morning class and he was phenomenal. He welcomed me to the studio, told me a bit about it and led us through a challenging practice. I have always been wary of attempting a handstand, but wanted to try it against the wall. Larry led me through it and I was amazed at how long I could hold it.
If you are serious about your practice and have a desire to improve, then DIG is the perfect place to do so. Oh, and the DIG hour is only $ 8 and is worth every penny.
Highly recommended!

I love Dig Yoga. The teachers are fantastic, the community is so friendly and welcoming, and as others have said, the studio is just beautiful. The skylights make me feel like I’m getting a little outdoor time even in the midst of my practice. I have grown more in my practice in the last 6 months at Dig than in the last 6 years of practicing at other studios. I can even do pincha now!
Dig also cares about their community! I love how they do regular donation classes on Friday nights to support local nonprofits.

This studio is gorgeous, clean, and the perfect setting for yoga. I’ve been practicing with Larry for a while now and am so glad he is teaching in this beautiful setting. He has a great knowledge of anatomy and alignment, and his classes are alway fun with a nice balance of strengthening and stretching. I always leave feeling invigorated and ready to start my day. All of the other instructors I’ve have had here are top notch as well. The studio offers a variety of classes and even a free community class on Fridays. With the phenomenal space, teachers, and staff there is no doubt this place is the best in the city!

DIG Yoga is my new home for yoga in Philly! Not only is it huge, quiet, light-​filled and beautiful, but it has the most expert and experienced instructors in the Philly area. I like Kilkenny’s classes the most — she is such an expert in alignment, always inspirational and her depth of knowledge in philosophy and therapeutics seems endless. She should really be on Yogaglo! I don’t doubt that DIG will take over the yoga scene in Philly!

This is probably one of the nicest, cleanest yoga studios I have ever been to. The staff is very friendly, and the instructor we had (Jean-​Claude?) was very good. Mat rentals are available for $ 2, drop in class was $ 15 (we had a 2-​for-​1 deal, given to us by a friend), and the props are in great shape. I would definitely come again when I’m in the Philly area.

DIG is the most beautiful and cleanest studio in Philadelphia. I lived in New York for 6 years before moving to Philadephia and practiced at least 5 days a week, I have learned more at DIG in the last few months than I learned in 6 years in NY. The teachers care so much about proper alignment and help each individual as much as they can while still giving you an amazing practice and workout. I absolutely love DIG and highly recommend it to anyone, beginner to advanced!

This is, hands down, the most beautiful yoga studio I have ever been to in the city. The natural light, clean lines, and the vision that these folks had when creating this studio is remarkable. I appreciate the diverse group of practitioners, along with the welcoming teachers. There is something very pure and genuine about practicing at Dig.

I’m from NYC, but visit Philly often. I found this studio to be the most beautiful (and cleanest) studio in Philadelphia. Nice floors, lots of space, and tons of natural light. Lululemon hosts a weekly class there on Fridays. The teachers seem to have a very open spirit. It does NOT feel pretentious, clique-​ish or cult-​ish like some studios can be. Take Mariel’s class if you can.

i have only been here once and it is probably the most beautiful of the studios in the city. cool spot. everyone seemed to know each other. i dont like my yoga and social life to cross, so i usually come off as shy or unapproachable. yoga is my peace. my chance to be invisible. that being said, stong practice that was creative and different. i definitely felt great when it was over. i wish i had the time to do more yoga and get to repeat visits at studios i love/​like. my returns are few and far between, but this place is a great addition to the neighborhood and yoga community.

This is a new Queen Village studio which is tucked back a little away from the street on Monroe.
I used to take Mariel’s class at Sweat every Friday evening and loved her. I would occasionally catch her class at Dhyana, and when I heard this summer that her and Pete Mattis were opening a place in QV, I knew I wanted to try it out! Luckily for me, Lululemon has been hosting their free weekly yoga classes there on Friday evenings, so I have had the pleasure of going to a couple of free classes.
The upstairs studio is gorgeous. It is really big (for a city yoga studio at least), with some windows that provide natural light. The wooden floor is gorgeous. They have a variety of classes and even some community classes that have a cheaper drop in rate. (Regular drop in classes run about $ 15).
I guess there is a Dig Yoga in Lambertville also. I don’t know the other owner very well, but I have taken her class and it’s great as well!
Downstairs is Zakti Fitness. I’m not totally certain what it is, but it has yoga/​fitness classes as well.
