studio umi

Studio Umi is a yoga and wellness studio rooted in Ditmas Park. We chose this corner of Brooklyn because it has always felt like something rare: a genuine community, a slow breath inside of a fast city. Our studio will aim to reflect that same spirit. Yoga anchors us, but movement in all its forms is welcome here, and gathering together matters just as much as the asana practice itself. The word umi holds three beautiful meanings, and each one is a piece of our dream for this space. In yao, it means life. we want this to be a place that helps you live fully, right now. In Arabic, it means my mother, alluding to the warmth, the safety, the unconditional welcome we hope you feel the second you arrive. In Japanese, it means ocean, an invitation to move through life with fluidity and grace. Whether you have been practicing for decades or stepping onto a mat for the very first time, we hope to be of service to you.
