Shanti Baby Yoga

I haven’t taken an actual class but today I did a private birthing class with Michele and it was amazing. My husband and I are expecting our first baby in April and Michele’s knowledge of yoga, meditation and various birthing techniques left us feeling confident and prepared. She also printed lots of information for us to go over on our own time.
She went above and beyond what we expected, even suggesting local parenting groups we can join and info on what to expect postpartum.

I’m properly not going to bother using Unilocal anymore because my review of this business which I took time to write keeps on coming up filtered. I guess the only reviews I can trust are those on facebook. I might as well delete all of my reviews and encourage all of my friends to do the same.
5 stars from me, Michelle rocks! My review below
I’ve been practicing Yoga with Michelle of Shanti Baby Yoga for nearly 6 years now. During that time I’ve taken nearly every class she has offered. (Prenatal through two pregnancies, Mommy/​Baby with all three of my kids and the adult classes just for me) No matter the class, I always come out feeling amazing. If something ails you, Michelle will have a Yoga pose to fix it. She has adjustments and modifications for most poses. If you’re more advanced in your Yoga practice, she gives plenty of opportunities to go further into pose variations. I’ve gone in to class with sinus infections, back pain, headaches, other sports related injuries and Michelle always knows how to make me feel great. Her classes are fun, never repetitive, and personalized. She’s innovative and periodically offers themed classes which are exciting and refreshing. She is a wonderful instructor, and honestly I will never leave Brooklyn because I would have to take Michelle and Shanti Baby yoga with me.

Mediocre classes, overpriced and instructor needs more training IMO. Yoga in Bay Ridge is a much more comprehensive and learned approach to yoga and teaching the lineage with the respect and care I never found at Shanti Baby.
UPDATED:
Funny, I recall taking a class a couple of years ago, but regardless I am entitled to my review and am a frequent Unilocaler.
Also worth noting is the teacher’s response and a glowing review from a student/​her friend on the same exact day.
Were the classes so extaordinary I do not think a business owner would need to solicit friends to write positive reviews to counter negative reviews. It’s unethical, just like many of this teacher’s actions.

I have taken the Mommy & Me yoga several times, and I took one of the special «one day» classes. Michelle is an amazing instructor, and what is exciting (for me, anyway) is that she is adept at so many different levels of yoga instruction.
Her classes can be very challenging and hard-​core, but she easily adjusts to holding the Mommy & Me classes at an appropriate level for involving the babies/​toddlers in the class.
Michelle also has a wonderful manner about her that encourages people to feel comfortable challenging themselves and/​or letting themselves take it easy. I’m so grateful that I found these classes when I had my first child. It was truly one of the highlights of my week — and my son’s!
