Dou Yoga was established in 2011, which is wild, because that means we have been serving the Clinton Hill, Bedstuy community for over 10 years. It started off as a need for my own practice. I used live on Madison and Franklin. As I was biking around the neighborhood I realized that the closest yoga studio was all the way in Fort Greene. So when I saw the "For Rent" sign up in the all glass second window of our 214 Greene location I had to give it a chance. That is where Dou Yoga was born.
Then in 2017 we moved to our current home at 281 Greene. We could not be more happy with the move. The space is beautiful and our landlord is absolutely amazing. There is a lot that we have gone through over the decade but being able to practice with this community is what keeps us motivated and drives our passion.
At Dou Yoga we believe in the importance of the individual and the collectivity of a community. Each person and body expresses the pose and the classroom experience differently. Even if it looks the same on the outside, it can feel very different on the inside. Our Clinton Hill yoga studio offers a space to honor your practice, to trust what your body tells you, regardless of class level, style or teacher.
Our yoga studio is rooted in our neighborhood of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Our classroom gives the opportunity to connect and share your practice amongst your friends and neighbors. It is important to us to maintain the safety and comfort of the space for yourself and each other.
Yoga is more than physical flexibility and strength, although it can be very effective for that: it is the process, the experience, and the integration of breath, mind, body and community.
For those students that have been with us since over the years, for those new students just discovering our studio we welcome you all. Thank you for trusting us with your practice and helping us create the energy and space we call Dou Yoga.
