Om Factory NYC

Barbara and Austin are amazing. We did a private bungee class two years in a row here and love it! Definitely coming back! Many many thanks to Barbara and Austin. Both amazing instructors. Don’t miss this studio when you come to Manhattan.

This yoga studio is very relaxing and easy to find. My friend and I took Marisa's 10:15 a.m. class. Upon arrival, you are asked to remove your shoes and put them on the shoe rack by the door. Then, you have to check in by finding our name on the iPod screen. When you have checked in, you are asked to grab a mat and place it under the fabric of your choice. Once you pick a spot, the instructor will help measure the fabric and adjust it to your hip height. Before starting the class, Marisa asked for rings or bracelets to be removed as they could get stuck on the fabric and rip it. She also asked everyone to put their phones away, as there would be designated time for people to take videos or pictures. Marisa was very straightforward and welcoming, giving instructions before, during, and after the class. One of my favorite things about this class was that it was open to all levels. I’ve never done this before, but Marisa was lovely and motivating. Her willingness to help made me feel comfortable trying things I found difficult.

OM Factory NYC is truly one of the most inspiring and well-run studios I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help—whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner. The instructors are outstanding. Each class feels thoughtfully structured, safe, and deeply engaging. They manage to balance technique with creativity, offering variations that challenge you while still making you feel supported. Their aerial and yoga programs are especially impressive—professional, fun, and empowering. The studio itself is beautifully maintained, clean, and spacious, with a calming vibe that makes every session feel like a reset from the busy NYC pace. Booking is easy, classes run on time, and there’s always a sense of community that makes you want to come back. If you’re looking for a studio that combines professionalism, warmth, and truly transformative classes, OM Factory NYC is the place. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to elevate their practice in a supportive and inspiring environment

I've been training in aerial for a few years now, and at Om Factory for the past several months. In addition to being a premier facility for specialized fitness and artforms, the team they've assembled there is easily among the best I've worked with. I've taken both group classes and received private instruction from the teachers there, and found them all to be extremely knowledgeable, patient and accommodating, and most certainly respectful and inclusive to myself or anyone else in the room. They teach with attention and empathy for anything a student may be coping with, and I found the other students there are also accepting and encouraging to newcomers as well. I can honestly say I wasn't expecting to find such a warm and welcoming community stuck right in the middle of Manhattan. Extremely glad I found this place and these people, highly recommended!

Not just a studio but a community! When I first found this place I didn't realize I had found my home away from home. All of the teachers are so wonderful, warm, and supportive. It's a welcoming space open to all and all levels of aerial. I have become braver and stronger than I ever thought I could be. If you're thinking about trying aerial this is the place to do it. Couldn't recommend it enough!

I absolutely love taking aerial hammock classes with Amanda and Marisa at Om Factory! They’ve built such a wonderful, supportive community — everyone cheers each other on, hangs out outside of class, and it really feels like a group of friends rather than just students sharing a space. I started my aerial hammock journey with Amanda, and she has an incredible gift for tailoring her teaching to each student’s individual style and strengths. She knows exactly how to push you just enough while keeping you safe and confident. Marisa brings such great energy to every class, and together they’ve created an environment that’s both challenging and welcoming.

Om Factory and the wonderful people there literally saved my life. A few years ago I was going through a hard time and tried aerial yoga to cheer myself up. I was terrible at it. I tried again- still terrible. I kept trying until I could lift myself and then went to an aerial hammock tricks class with Marisa. She danced and played around with us and taught us cool, accessible tricks and got me not just to try aerial but to love aerial. I got stronger and went to aerial tricks with Barbara and aerial dance with Izzy. They are both so kind and pushed me to get better, even when it’s frustrating or hard. I continued to improve and went to level 2/3 hammock tricks with Mae and level 3 with Amanda. Years have passed and I feel like I’m an aerialist now. Amanda pushes me to have the proper technique while doing things I never thought I could. She invites me to join a group chat and I end up with a bunch of new and wonderful friends. Mae trains my brain with tricks that involve a lot of steps, supporting me the whole time. Now it’s been three years and I’m ready to try silks. It’s hard. I’m bad at it. Fran insists on teaching me the proper form and vocabulary even when it’s hard for me. I grow to love it and her. I’m going to keep going even when it’s tough. TL;DR The staff, teachers, and community at Om factory are welcoming, inclusive, knowledgeable, and wonderful. I came here at a low point and got a family and a passion. Thank you all for the care and love you’ve given me during my journey from couch potato to aerialist.

OM Factory NYC has become a real home for me. There’s such a strong sense of community here—you feel it the second you walk through the door. The students lift each other up, and the instructors are truly extraordinary: patient, inspiring, and so invested in everyone’s growth. Every class feels like you’re not just training, but belonging. I’ve never felt more supported, encouraged, or seen in a studio. If you’re looking for a place that feeds your soul as much as your body, this is it.
