Y7 Studio Upper East Side

Y7 Studio Upper East Side offers a unique, sweaty, and beat-driven yoga experience in a dark, candlelit setting. The studios are heated to 80-90 degrees using infrared technology, promoting a detoxifying sweat that increases flexibility. Classes are paced to the rhythm of varied music, ranging from different artists and genres. The space may be a bit cramped, with limited airflow, and some reviewers mention that staff could be friendlier. It is recommended to arrive early to avoid issues with late entry. While the locker room is unisex, separate changing rooms, bathrooms, and showers are available. Yoga blocks are provided for free, but larger towels and mats are not. The flow of the class generally consists of 3 sets of yoga flows, with options to follow along slowly, quickly, or independently. Music is typically upbeat, with the exception of the beginning and end of classes. Recently, core and cardio segments have been added after the first and third yoga sets, which some reviewers do not appreciate. Despite minor issues, reviewers generally recommend Y7 Studio Upper East Side for those seeking a hot yoga experience different from traditional studios. In particular, one reviewer praises the "Flow & Restore" class and the instructor Christopher B for a memorable and enjoyable hot yoga experience. Another reviewer appreciates the clean and cute studio atmosphere, noting that the only downside is the extremely dark room, which makes it difficult to see the teacher's demonstrations.
