North Park Yoga

NPY is the perfect yoga studio for a novice to get his or her feet wet in that crazy world of asanas, stretches, inversions, and the like.
The owner/​instructor (Timmy) has taken a small and nondescript room overlooking University Ave and turned it into a blissful, zenned-​out haven.
Timmy has classes for every level of expertise. Lately I’ve been going to «Gentle Practice», which is a perfect spot for a non-​flexible person like me to slowly and carefully learn some of the basic asanas without breaking too much a sweat. It’s the perfect cool-​down after an hour of cardio at North Park Fitness, which is located just downstairs. Faster-​paced classes are also available.
No matter which class you take, Timmy assists you with kindness and care and without an iota of judgement. All the classes are small (9 people max, but typically less), so you can get personalized assistance depending on your needs.
Timmy also keeps his studio affordable and practical. He offers standard monthly memberships, but I opted for a 9-​class package. Since my work schedule has been unpredictable lately, I like the convenience of being able to use Timmy’s online reservation system to hop into a class at the last minute.
It took a long time for me to wade into the mysterious world of yoga, but I’m so glad I finally did. And NPY is the perfect place for it. Thanks Timmy!!!

I love taking yoga classes with Tim. His attention to detail and tailoring classes to the needs of students is wonderful.
The intimate space works beautifully.

This place is fantastic for yoga lovers! I attended a yoga class last night and it was incredibly relaxing and restorative. The instructor is very knowledgeable regarding the various postures and how these asanas can open up the chakras, release tension, anger, and resentment in order to help clients live a more relaxed and happy life! The atmosphere of the studio is very welcoming. The instructor is available to answer any questions that the students have so that they will receive the greatest benefit from their practice. Check this wonderful place out! You’ll be glad you did!

I really the like the yoga classes offered at North Park Fitness. The classes are included with the cost of your membership to the gym. The gentle yoga class was my first experience with yoga and was a good environment to learn the positions. I attend the Thursday evening yoga class for men and really like this class as it focuses on trouble proned areas of the male body. There are several other types of yoga classes offered at North Park Fitness, including yoga for women. The studio is in the back of the gym, you wouldn’t know it was there from the cardio and weights area, ask the front desk where the studio is located.
