Dou Yoga

Neighborhood yoga studio in Brooklyn Dou Yoga’s mission is to create a welcoming space for everyone. The meaning of Dou　道　is “way” in Japanese, the way of yoga.

We feel that yoga is an essential part of creating a healthy and happy community. The idea of Dou is to welcome those in the neighborhood to develop their practice, understand their mind and body and bring its benefits to everyday living.

Our workstudy members are an essential part of the heartbeat of Dou. They welcome students, care for the space, and share their unique energy, helping our studio feel warm and connected. We’re excited to continue introducing the wonderful people who make our community thrive.

✨ Meet Lisa ✨
Lisa had always been curious about group yoga classes but only took the leap to try one in 2023. After a short break, she discovered Dou in February of this year—an opportunity that allowed her to return to her practice, connect with the community, and give back at the same time.

When she’s not at Dou, Lisa works at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and teaches ceramics, a craft she’s been dedicated to for five years. You might even spot her at a local craft fair, sharing her beautiful handmade pieces.

You can find Lisa at the studio on Tuesday 5pm and Thursday 8pm Class, say hi when you see her!

We’re so grateful for our incredible workstudy team—each person brings their own energy and heart to Dou, and we truly see them as part of our community. As our studio continues to grow, it’s a joy to introduce the people who help make this space what it is.

✨ Meet Isik ✨
Originally from Turkey, Isik moved to New York in 2021 to pursue a master’s degree at Pratt Institute. Not long after arriving, she joined our work-study program—despite having no previous experience with yoga—and quickly became an essential part of the Dou community.

She now calls Dou her safe space, and often invites friends to practice with her and share in the peace she’s found here. On top of that, Isik is a talented illustrator who has been contributing her artwork to Dou—infusing our space with even more creativity and heart. ✨

You’ll find Isik here on Wednesday mornings and Friday noons—say hello when you see her!💕

Yoga Teacher Training is more than a certification, it can be the start of a personal transformation that extends far beyond the physical practice. 🧘🏻🤸🏾🧘🏽‍♂️

When most people think of a yoga teacher training, they imagine a list of techniques to learn: postures, breathwork, meditation, sequencing. And yes, those are a core part of what you’ll receive.

But what if the most meaningful outcomes can’t be written on a syllabus? Our September 2025 Yoga Teacher Training is designed not only to teach you how to lead a class, but also to invite you into a deeper relationship with your body, your voice, and your purpose. This journey is for those who feel the pull to learn and grow not just as a teacher, but as a human being.

📍Build a more honest and compassionate relationship with your physical, emotional, and spiritual self.
📍Create lasting connections with people on a similar path, one rooted in curiosity, courage, and care.
📍Experience what it’s like to show up imperfectly and still be met with celebration, encouragement, and support.

Why Dou Yoga Training? 🌱

At Dou Yoga, our intention is to empower each participant to integrate what they learn into the fabric of everyday life, not just on a teaching level, but as a practice of self-awareness, compassion, and connection. Through physical foundations, yoga philosophy, self-inquiry, and interpersonal exploration, we help you access your inner teacher and expand your capacity for genuine relationships and community care. Whether you’re preparing to lead others or simply coming home to yourself, this training supports both the personal and the professional path.

More Details + Application are link in Bio 🔗

We’d love for you to walk this path with us. 💓

As there are hellos, there are also goodbyes.
Dou will always be here, connected with all of you—whether you visit the neighborhood once a year, return after time away, or join us virtually from far away.

We hope to keep building long-term relationships through this practice, just like yoga itself—showing up little by little, with care and presence. Over time, those moments create something deep and lasting.

Rong is returning to Taiwan. Thank you for being a part of the Dou family. We’ll miss you 🫶

Ardha Uttanasana — Halfway Lift 🦚

It may look simple, but don’t be fooled — both photos show Ardha Uttanasana variation & application, and yet they feel completely different…

What’s happening in your spine?
What are you actually doing in this pose?

Instead of focusing on how it looks, try to understand its function. This seemingly simple shape holds essential keys to your foundation… posture, breath, and awareness all begin here.

🪐Join Yuuki’s class Tuesday 9:30am👇🏼

“Advance Fundamentals”
In this class we cover the fundamentals of each pose by looking at the anatomy of each movement, working to understand our abilities and limits and exploring how some of the more simple poses we take for granted can have a real impact on the foundation for more challenging poses. We will also experiment with how our breath and breathing can have an influence on the poses, on our feelings and thoughts and overall experience of life. This class is good for both beginners wanting to learn and veteran practitioners looking to refine their practice.⚡️

As we embrace this peaceful holiday weekend, we hope you’re taking time to rest, breathe deeply, and enjoy moments of joy with loved ones. 🌿

We’re excited to share some heart-centered workshops coming up at the studio to help you reconnect, ground, and move with intention… 💓

“Let Wednesday be a pause. A breath. A moment to come home to your body.”

✨ Midweek Highlight: Kelley ✨
Kelley brings a steady, focused presence to our Wednesdays. With a background rooted in alignment, strength, and yogic philosophy, her classes offer a grounding flow that invites you to meet yourself right where you are.

After earning her 200hr RYT from Dan Ward Yoga School in LA, Kelley taught at Power Yoga Santa Monica and joined Udaya Yoga’s streaming platform. Now in New York, we’re lucky to have her presence in our space—bringing ten years of practice and deep wisdom to every session.

Come practice with her and feel your midweek shift.🌿🖤
