Yoga in Crown Heights

Anyone have any suggestions for yoga in Crown Heights?  Preferably, we'd like a private class for two at our place one evening a week, and working with someone local seems easier.  Thanks in advance.

    Urban asanas on Nostrand is amazing. I don't know if Jyll does private classes, but if not I'm sure she could recommend someone good who does.

    This place seems very in touch with the preferences of many in southeast Crown Heights and NE PLG:

    Thank you very much @laura palmer and @whynot_31.  Anyone else have any suggestions?  Anyone local that is pretty good at yoga and can use some additional spending money?

    There are many good teachers at Brooklyn Yoga Collective on Franklin, and at Shambhala at the corner of Grand & St Mark's as well. Might be worth going to some local classes at a range of places to try them out, and then approach the teachers you like about private classes -- there are so many different styles and schools of yoga, and you don't want to sign up for private classes with a teacher you don't click with. 

    (The only teachers I've ever done private classes with are not local, or I'd recommend - sorry!)

    There are many good instructional videos in youtube.

    As for me, don't do yoga much any more as I'm too old and bothered by arthritis.  However, I am still able to do mudras which are extremely beneficial to your health:




    Again, there are many easy to follow videos in YT.

    Hi southeast- I'm a certified yoga teacher, I sent you a private message. 

    I'm relatively new to Crown Heights and if you or anyone else is interested in private yoga classes I would love to work with local students! I teach individualized vinyasa-based classes, and you can learn more about what I do here: http://caracolwellness.com/wellness-services/yoga/

    Thank you very much @shebbels.  I think I am good for now following videos on YouTube.
