Fantastic environment - everyone is so kind and it is very convenient to stop by for yoga 12-1 on weekdays from my nearby work. The practices are great for building strength and flexibility and there are modifications offered to make exercises more or less challenging. Love this place! All the folks that work there are awesome!
Nice people. Two locations. Asana instruction mostly 3, some 4 stars (just ok). Level 2 Vinyasa Flow more like Power Yoga light. Meditative quality 2 stars. No music with any class, per policy. Instructor training program. Bodywork packages offered. Very affordable membership. Good yin and restorative classes.

Since I joined BPY a year ago my strength, balance and flexibility have improved. The schedule is convenient; the teachers (established and new) are well trained and thus able to teach simultaneously to several levels. Each month features a new pose, thus ensuring a beneficial institutional pedagogy. When I joined I wanted to improve specific aspects of my practice. These aspects were addressed as a matter of course. The teachers welcome questions at the end of class. I think that BPY offers a "practice for every body." There's neat stuff to buy at each studio too.

I highly recommend Linda as a teacher if you want to begin a Yoga practice. Her basics classes on Saturday and Sunday are THE best. This is the first time I was NOT intimidated. I have been going to that and her other classes for some time now, and she is just superb. If you have been wanting to begin, Linda I the best. If you already have a practice go to her other classes. You will love it.
Rude! On thanksgiving day, my fiance and I decided to start the day with some yoga. I am a yoga instructor in new york and enjoy visiting different yoga studios. We were visiting my fiance's hometown for the holiday. We walked in the door to this studio, said happy thanksgiving, and the woman at the desk responded "hello, are you locals?" When we stated that we were visiting family for the holidays and that my fiance had grown up in durham, we were told we could not receive the new student special promotion because it was "only for locals." On thanksgiving no less!!! I practice a lot of yoga in a lot if different places and have never felt so discriminated against for being from out of town. On all other occassion, not only have I been welcomed warmly to the new studio, but if there was a new student special available, it was offered to me, no questions asked. Yoga is about community, unity and acceptance. This studio clearly does not embrace these fundamental yoga concepts. FYI the offer advertised was for "new students" not "locals only." I refused to give this studio my business as I couldn't bring myself to support a yoga studio that operates so far outside of the spiritual teachings of yoga. Futhermore, we travel to Durham often enough to have been able to give the studio plenty of business in the future if they had welcomes us instead of treating us like lowly outsiders. I hope after reading this post you chose to practice yoga at a different yoga studio.
Both locations of this studio have great classes. The front desk workers are always friendly and welcoming. I loved the prenatal classes while I was pregnant. It's also super helpful that they have some classes that are an hour in case you don't have much time, but want to fit some yoga in.
This studio is the first I've encountered in a long time that treats their employees - both teachers and front desk staff - with incredible respect. All teachers are paid as employees, not freelancers, and are paid regardless of how many students show up. Teachers are not punished for having lives - family commitments, continuing educational studies, babies, vacations, etc. The atmosphere of the studio is non-competitive, supportive, and friendly. Sara Doyle, the owner, is also a professor of Anatomy at Duke University. To someone who values alignment and injury prevention above all else, it has been a joy to study with her and learn so much about my personal asana practice. I highly recommend this studio with its versatile and diverse teaching staff, incredible monthly packages, and joyful vibe.
I wasn't much of a "yoga person," but this place is super legit. I hurt my back lifting weights, and after trying PT, quack chiropracty, and plenty of stretching, nothing helped until I found the Saturday yoga for a healthy back class and the Sunday restorative class. Great stuff.
