Unity Yoga - Manayunk

Loved the studio and the teacher, basic fundamentals, rooting myself back to my yoga practice. This was a home away from home for me from Michigan.

I have been going to Unity in Chesnut Hill now for a few months, and I really love it. First, as middle aged guy, starting yoga seemed daunting and I struggled to find a place where I'd feel comfortable as a newbie. Searching the internet and Reddit for a studio proved more difficult than I realized as most studios do not lay out a program from beginner to advanced Luckily, Unity does exactly that! They have a Foundation class and then once complete, you can start the next level and keep progressing. I have been been practicing my yoga with Sammie and she has been so helpful. She takes her time with you and explains whats happening, but also keeps the flow going so you can keep learning. If you are on the fence about stating yoga, this is your place.

After attending a foundational class, I enrolled at Unity Yoga in Manayunk, Philadelphia, and found exactly what I was looking for. As someone who is 71 with a complex clinical history, I needed a space that offered not just physical activity but deep care—and Unity Yoga delivered. The studio is calm, respectful, and free from the commercial affectations found in many other yoga spaces. The first class focused on restorative and gentle adaptations of traditional poses. The instructor, also a Reiki master, offered revitalizing energy that was deeply grounding. I left feeling not only supported but also grateful to have found such an honest and wholesome environment.
