Even in Brooklyn – allegedly the borough with more space and chill than Manhattan – it's easy to get wrapped up in the bustle of big city living. There are days when you need to sweat or stretch off the stress, and often there's no better place to do it than a yoga class.
Any of these 9 classes is a great place to start. We broke them down by neighborhood, so you can get your flow in no matter which pocket of the BK you call home.
