Kaia Yoga

Love this yoga studio! They offer a great range of classes with well-​educated and varied instructors. Especially love Julia and Lexy. Their hot-​yoga room has been having some issues so it’s not really that warm. Would give it 5 stars if this were fixed. Most of the front desk staff are wonderful except one who did not handle the pre-​class rush gracefully.

I love going to yoga here. Kaia Yoga has fabulous teachers and offerings. I’ve so far been to this, the Westport and Old Greenwich locations and I keep coming back. It’s so rare to find a yoga studio that offers more than vinyasa classes and downward dogs. Sometimes you want variety, and Kaia Yoga offers just that. There’s restorative, gentle, and rope wall yoga. I love all three. So relaxing. Deep opening postures. Alignment and body work. And the energy is great. When I find my zen mode, I feel like I’m transported back to that sunny world, where its tropical and clean, and the ocean breeze brushes against your face. Having these iyengar style classes is such a gem, especially considering that there are only a handful in NYC, and we have just as many in Fairfield County CT. I also enjoy their hot yoga classes, especially in the winter. It’s not so crazy hot that I feel feint, but hot enough to just feel good and warm in a tanktop. Well, I would highly recommend this place to any newcomer. You can’t beat their newcomer 30 days unlimited yoga for $ 30 deal.

So the addition of Mysore Ashtanga for the entire morning every weekday at the Greenwich location completely changed my experience at Kaia. The schedule no longer works for me, and the teachers who used to teach those classes seems to have mostly moved on (Laurie Jordan is a notable exception, but I can rarely make her class as scheduled). So now I mostly practice elsewhere. I could I suppose try one of their other locations, but it would involve a good extra half hour of travel round trip for me. Realistically that’s not gonna happen either. It was good while it lasted, and if I took to Mysore Ashtanga, it still would be. But its not my style… It is what it is; Stan and Gina are welcome to run their business as they wish. But it no longer works for me…

I have never reviewed anything on Unilocal before, but I really love this place. The all organic juice bar, also has really good food options, and I am so glad not be drinking juiced pesticides.
It is owned by a husband and wife team who happened to be there the day I came in, they were friendly and helpful and steered me in the direction of good classes for a tight guy just starting out.
A great addition to the community!

Not sure on the other reviews but this place was poorly organized and will never go back. Signed up for a class the morning of and was told it was all good to go and then showed up with my son for the class (mommy and me) and they canceled it… and gave no apology or anything. Not sure why they couldn’t of communicated that earlier or replied to the original inquiry but that is just awful.

Going downhill fast! Café has been closed for years with no sign of reopening, classes are being subbed by beginner teachers with no knowledge of original teacher’s style or students injuries and needs, ceilings and sprinkler heads are covered in mold and are a major health hazard. If I’m not by a window I break out in hives because this is a sick building that needs attention immediately. Change out the ceiling tiles! You are teaching deep breathing in a contaminated room. Floors are rarely clean. It’s such a shame because it could be a great studio, it’s in a perfect location in a rehabilitated mill building with a gorgeous waterfall and a beautiful setting. The owners seem to treat this studio like the red headed step child! Maybe they are spread too thin with 4 studios. Wish they pour more energy into it… it has so much potential.

I recently moved in the area and was looking for a good studio to start a regular yoga routine. As a runner, I’ve been plagued with lower leg injuries and yoga is the only thing that I found to help. I tried out a lot of area studios and instructors, but Kaia offered the most convenient class times and a plethora of options. I loved the $ 30 month long trial period so much that I joined with the unlimited plan. The studio has a juice and food bar, clean bathrooms, showers and some merchandise. I’m a newbie and I find the instructors to be very helpful and welcoming to beginners. I particularly like Mike’s Foundations class, yin yoga, vinyasa basic, and hot vinyasa basic/​intermediate. The two studios are large, bright and clean. While it is certainly not the most inexpensive studio in the area, I think the quality of the instructors and studios,
the number and variety of classes offered makes it worth the cost. Love it here!

Moving to a new city comes with some challenges… and one of my biggest was finding a good yoga studio. Hard to compare to my first yoga love in Boston but am glad to have found Kaia.
It sits in a really nice area, the Mill, that is tucked away. There’s a stream with a waterfall, lots of greenery, and it’s just simply pretty peaceful. There are two studios, a café, and showers/​dressing rooms.
The vinyasa classes were great. I especially started to like Gina’s 6am classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. What a great way to start your morning! And you get free coffee which is some pretty damn good coffee too. They play some music which I like too.
I did the $ 30 for 30 days new student special. Unfortunately I just can’t afford the full memberships so hopefully they’ll do some season deals at some point!

I’ve brand new to yoga and have been trying to get into it for the past year. Kaia offers an amazing $ 30 for 30 days of unlimited classes and being a poor college student I jumped on that. I am very impressed so far by every class I’ve been to and the instructors are really excellent. They make sure that everyone is getting the poses properly and if you let them know you’re new they’ll make sure to keep an eye on you.
I may revise this review once I experience other yoga studios but I think this is a great place to get started with your practice. There are tons of basics classes and other beginner style to classes to try out. I love the unlimited aspect of the $ 30 for 30 deal because I want to try everything to see what I like.
Yin is my favorite because it’s more about poses that have a deep stretch, which is something I love. It’s a relaxing class while still being very challenging. At one point I did accidentally go to an Intermediate Vinyasa class and it was pretty difficult seeing as I’d only been to six classes before that but the instructor was so great and made sure that if you weren’t up for poses that you tried but if you couldn’t handle it that was ok. She just wanted to make sure everyone tried the more advanced at least once, because you never know. The Basic Vinyasa classes are excellent and definitely challenging, they’re never the same. I particularly like the instructor at 10am on Saturdays, she really tried to get to know everyone in the class and help you out based on how your body can work in the poses.
Overall, if you’re new to yoga I think this is an excellent place to start, the classes are very inviting and the instructors are great. Plus, how can you pass up such an amazing deal?

After practicing yoga for several years I can still say with confidence that Kaia is the best studio I have ever been to. I am holding out hope they will open a studio in NYC because now I rarely get to Kaia and haven’t found a place in the city that really compares.
I was new to yoga a few years back and began taking a variety of classes. All the instructors were knowledgeable and made adjustments when needed. I built a strong yoga foundation thanks to the instructors here. Some of my favorite classes included Basics with Miranda DeSantis and Iyengar with Mike Milverstad and enjoyed Gina’s classes well. My favorite part about the studio is that they teach an amazing Yin Yoga class which is difficult to find. Some nights we would have live music which was amazing. Also, I have gotten juices/​smoothies from the juice bar many times and have done a 3 day juice cleanse on several times which I highly recommend. I take yoga in NYC primarily and consistently struggle to find great instructors. The price for the quality they provide makes this a great place to enhance or start your yoga practice. I will always hope they’ll open an NYC location because the city lacks a studio that offers a variety of classes with top notch instructors.

The quality of the classes is good, but there should be a minimum number of participants allowed in a session. I was in a class with over 20 people crammed into the studio with only a few inches between mats. This made it hard to move. I would have to agree with Jessica that the welcome could be warmer.

I can only comment on the Greenwich location but I was truly shocked by the lack of welcome given to a new customer who set foot in the clean, well lit studio for the very first time. The two young women working in the café could not have been colder or more dismissive. Their attitude totally turned me off to the place and, though I’d been planning to sign up for a multi visit pass, I decided to go elsewhere — anywhere — even though Kaia is the closest yoga studio to my home. I hope the owners read this and give their employees a lesson in gracious hospitality.

I’ve been to a few different classes here, and they’ve all exceeded my expectations. Everything from DanceYoga to Hot Vinyassa. Love this place.

I live and practice in the city but visit Greenwich often and thought I’d give Kaia Yoga a try. I wasn’t sure how it would measure up to my home studio (Joschi), but Kathy’s Vinyasa Intermediate class delivered! Nice studio, excellent instruction and flow, nice fellow students. I will be back!

Enjoyed my first lesson
