Har Studio

Sad to see it close. All the best

Kundalini yoga with Paula ✨️

I’m literally OBSESSED with this studio. Been coming here for 3 years…great selection of classes, quality instructors, welcoming and peaceful energy. It’s my sanctuary in Berlin. GO HERE, couldn’t recommend Har studios more. It’s home ❤️

Favorite Yoga Studio, Amazing Teachers, Amazing Range and Variety of Courses!

Beautiful space with potent offerings that are unique and different than your avarage yoga studio.

The Saturday Night class with Daniel was a great, transformative breathing journey! Daniel encouraged us to find an inner place of safety and allowance while he held the space with shamanic songs, instruments and gentle breathing instructions. Hope to attend more of his classes in the Har Studios soon. With love, Tobi.

Where to begin. The booking website states that classes can be cancelled up to 24 hours in advance. I assumed this meant a refund, as is standard practice. In reality, you only receive a time-limited credit. I only realized this too late after making two cancellations. I had intended to use a bundle I’d purchased, but it turned out it didn’t apply to the class I was trying to book. Before that became clear, I was told to try booking again, which led to the duplicate cancellations. The bundle itself also expires quickly, so I ended up losing a significant amount of money. This process should be far more transparent and user-friendly. A timely cancellation should result in a refund. As it stands, it disadvantages the customer while benefiting the studio financially, which doesn’t feel accidental. The studio has also been overcrowded multiple times when I was there. You can’t move properly and spend more time avoiding other people than actually relaxing and there aren't enough props for everyone. The owner has publicly described this as intentional and called it “abundance" (for whom exactly, her bank account?). Make of that what you will. I mainly attended Jane’s classes, which I enjoyed, but other experiences were less positive. A 90-minute sound bath involved so much talking that it irritated both me and the two friends I attended with. In another class, a male teacher spent a significant amount of time discussing his divorce being finalized that day and became visibly emotional, seemingly crying. While some personal sharing can be appropriate, this felt excessive and out of place. He had his new girlfriend there, so I really don't understand why we had to be subjected to this, he clearly has an active support system that he can discuss this with and we are not his friends. In addition, the cloths used to clean the mats smelled badly on every single visit, the kind of smell that develops when damp fabric isn’t dried properly and bacteria builds up. Aside from being unpleasant, it also defeats the purpose of cleaning, as it likely just spreads the very thing it’s meant to remove. This issue persists if you do not wash the cloths at +60 degrees, so it might very well be that they have been freshly washed but still came out like this. I understand not everything can be controlled, but this studio positions itself as a more elevated experience and charges accordingly, which makes these issues more noticeable. Lastly, on one occasion, there was a sign outside stating that late entry would not be allowed (which is fair and common practice). However, it also suggested that instead of being upset, people should go home and rethink their choices that led to them being late. That feels far removed from the spirit of yoga and gives an interesting insight into the owners mindset. Jane, my teacher, was always a pleasure and made sure there was tea available before the class. The studio itself is very beautiful. The owner is one person, just to make it clear where the responsibility lies, this is not a group of people that are maybe not working together as effectively.
