My Yoga Revolution Studio receives my stamp of approval for three reasons: the teachers, the location, and the class size. The teachers are very knowledgable, with a wealth of information on the benefits of yoga for health, fitness and spirituality. They make you feel like you're part of the family from the time you set foot in the studio, and the class size adds to the intimate atmosphere. Instead of crowded gym-type classes, the studio's space is welcoming and serene, with just enough students to keep you out of the spotlight, yet still intimate enough for the instructor to circle around the room and correct everyone's poses, giving plenty of individual attention. The studio's other focus, besides classes, are the monthly Yoga Teacher Trainings. I have met some of the Teachers-in-Training, and their passion for yoga shows. While I am still a beginner in my yoga practice, i might consider the Certification in future, it seems like a cool, progressive career path. The studio's Yoga-at-Work program promises employment opportunities for new graduates. I never thought that Yoga, a mind/body fitness discipline from India, would become something I do on a weekly basis, yet as an ancient art and science of health maintenance, body fitness and mental balance, it is a rich, complex discipline of self-care and self-mastery. I am excited to be a part of My Yoga Revolution community that fosters this deep, comprehensive vision of Yoga, beyond a mere gym workout.

I first came upon this studio in August with an Amazon local deal for a massage. The massage was good quality: soothing, relaxing, I particularly enjoyed the mini-facial at the end. I have a lot of problem areas in my shoulders always and am used to getting massages. The therapist did a great job, and I was offered a complimentary yoga class pass after the session. A few months later I got so hooked on the studio's yoga method (YogaRevolution) that I am now enrolled into their 6 month yoga teacher training. It has so far been an amazing learning experience. The style attracts independent yoginis like me who are looking for a more progressive, Yoga therapy-based perspective into yoga, amongst today's daunting variety of yoga styles. Overall, Creative Vibrations Studio and Ayurvedic Spa is a gem amongst the local yoga finds. The staff's dedication to preserving the authentic teachings of Yoga, Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda is self-evident. Lalita the studio director runs three successful programs in a well-rounded curriculum : Yoga Classes & Teacher Trainings, Ayurvedic Spa services and bellydancing classes. I am proud to be a part of a growing movement where much dedication and energy is shared by teachers and students alike.

I've gone to a few yoga classes at Creative Vibrations and loved them. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and are patient with students of differing levels. Great workout!

Haha, fantastic treatment, magical hands, healing hands, you name it. Worth the time and money.

My husband and I visited Creative Vibrations on a whim and were thrilled with satisfaction. I am 4 months pregnant and Lalita took great care with all the parts of my body that needed it, gentle and relaxing! From the pressure points of my head to the soreness of my feet and everything in between. On just his 3rd massage, my husband thought Ofer was the best in terms of really getting into his soreness, especially his lower back. The aura was peaceful and the side by side massages were so comforting. We'd definately go back!

Ayurvedic massage is definitely the most relaxing form of massage I've ever had, and the serene, quiet atmosphere at Creative Vibrations was divine. I am going back there whenever I need a massage. I work on my feet 8 hours a day and they have never felt so good as after that massage. She worked on my back and got rid of all the tension as well. I went home and slept like a baby. I am also going back there for the belly dancing classes that they offer. Maureen

I recently discovered Creative Vibrations Yoga Studio and went for their 8am Sun Salutations Yoga Class this morning. The instructor was great! She walked me through the sequence effortlessly and let me do my poses, but also offered recommendation/corrections when needed so I'm doing the right poses. I have been contemplating on taking up yoga practice seriously and they studio seems like a great find. This summer they are offering Yoga-alliance registered the Yoga teacher training Certification program for people who want to become yoga teachers. They also have belly dancing classes which I have not tried, but looking forward to coming back to check them out soon!

Love getting routine massages for me and my mom at the Creative Vibrations Studio. Our therapist is very knowledgeable, experienced and always discuss and address our current body condition. Ayurvedic massage that she performs, rejuvenates the body and the mind and is effective in slowing skin aging, it works to purify, nourish and tones the body on a deep cellular level, increases the circulation to remove wastes from the tissues while improving nutrition by keeping the lymph free moving and pure. It alleviates fatigue, improves sleep, strengthen resistance to stress. I leave the studio with a floating feeling after every massage.

I love getting massage, and received many massages from many therapists through the years. I wanted to try Ayurvedic massage as I had never had it before. The spa is uniquely decorated in an original Indian style. Lalita, the owner, greeted me very nice, Explained to me what Ayurvedic massage is about . The massage itself was wonderful, Invigorating and relaxing at the same time, well worth the time and money spend. I will definitely recommend the place and come back again. Ofer O.

This is my favorite Ayurvedic Spa and Yoga Studio in Astoria, NY! Intimate, beautiful environment, yoga classes for all levels and great variety of massages and authentic ayurvedic spa therapies offered at the Spa. I have been coming regularly now and will recommend this jewel of a Yoga Studio and Spa without hesitation!

At one time, nurses provided patients with the comforts of massage for it allowed patients the ability to heal themselves. That is why, as a nurse, I highly recommend visiting Creative Expressions. They are the only massage therapist that I would allow to work on me. Massage Therapists in general provide the application of various techniques to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the human body. They consist of massage, joint mobilizations and stretching, all of which are highly beneficial to the human body. For relaxation and stress reduction a good choice would be to utilize their form of Swedish massage. It has worked wonder for me. Another option, for pain reduction in musculature may be their deep tissue massage. Lalita is an expert and worked on my back, which has always been problematic, until I was pain free. As a nurse, I highly recommend Creative Expressions because they really care about the client. They put the clients needs first and are so in-tuned to the body, they know exactly what the client needs to feel relief.

I moved to Astoria a few months ago and knew I wanted to find a yoga studio that I could feel comfortable in, and everything about Creative Vibrations has fit the image of what I wanted: -Sooo convenient right off the subway! -Yoga classes everyday -Personal attention(!!!) in every single class -Very casual atmosphere and students who are there to relax, study and not compete... so refereshing. And, to boot, a wide selection of massages. I'd never heard of Ayurvedic massage before but thought I'd give it a try and the therapist was very enthusiastic about describing the concepts behind it and how it was different from Swedish massage, and now I don't think I'll ever go back... my shoulders and body were so released of tension but energized at the end that Ayurvedic massage is now my #1 choice :)

I know it seems ridiculous to give 5 stars on every section of the rating, but I had a wonderful experience. I felt completely comfortable and relaxed. The therapist listened to not just what I said, but to my body. They took time and let my body take as much time as it needed to respond in order to fully relax. My energy the next day was out of the roof! After the massage, the therapist explained what they did and what was going on with my body. I have never felt so wonderful after a massage, and I have had a lot of massages ranging in techniques and approaches. I am so thankful I found this place and that it is right off the subway! What a wonderful find.

I love the location to my relative's house and it was such a nice getaway to enjoy a thorough and relaxing massage from an experienced and professional person. I would definitely go back!

Lalita gives a superb massage. I asked her to give extra attention to my left shoulder and she did and did wonders. Some other places will do their standard massage regardless of what the customer requests. Also very conveniently located (adjacent to both the subway and the municipal parking lot).

I was not expecting much as it was a small location just off the Ditmars stop on the N/Q line in Astoria but I thought I would give it a try. I must say, I was really pleasantly surprised... the prices were reasonable and the woman giving the massage was very friendly and knowledgeable. I now have it in my weekly routine, it is so convenient, the people are friendly, and it is a great way to unwind from a hectic week in Manhattan!

I went to Creative Vibrations to see a Belly Dance performance, and decided to go to my first yoga class there the next day. I have now been practicing there for a year! I love the atmosphere of the studio, intimate and relaxing. It's easy to forget the hustle and bustle of NYC outside once you've entered the calming studio. The teachers are wonderful; I attend Susan's class regularly. She cares about her students and is invested in helping them improve their practice. I recommend her class to everyone: those who practice yoga and those who are looking to start. Check it out - you'll thank yourself.

i went here because i live here, that being said, ive been to spas all over NYC and this one was one of the best. In terms of price, customer satisfaction and comfort I would def come to this spa in queens again.

I was looking for a convenient and professional massage therapy spa and I have been 100% satisfied with my experiences at Creative Vibrations. I trusted from the beginning that the staff was learned in the art and science of massage therapy, knowing exactly my body's needs and how to affect a soothing and stretching manipulation of muscle. Afterward, I am rejuvenated and stregthened, with a peace of mind I am certain I can attribute to the total therapeutic experience. The spa is also very clean, scented nicely, and quiet, which also contribute to the overall effect of being satisfied physically and mentally.

I wandered into Creative Vibrations about a year and a half ago in need of a massage for some shoulder blade pain. I met Lalita and she told me her story about starting a Yoga studio and trying to build it among the numerous other studios of New York. Not only is Lalita very friendly and personable, but she knows what she's doing. She creates a very comfortable and relaxing massage environment, one of the best deals in all of New York.

One day, I walked into Creative Vibrations Yoga Studio, met Lolita, and explained to her that I have never practiced Yoga before and told her I didn't even know what yoga was. I was completely out of shape having never participated in any form of regular exercise. Lolita convinced me that I could do it and has since given me many reasons to want to keep coming back. That was almost a year ago. Today, I have muscles I never knew I had, I am stronger, more flexible, more balanced, more relaxed, more confident, less stressed and overall feel so much healthier and happier. Both Lolita and Paula are amazing instructors. They provide individual attention when it is needed and pace the class according to the participants. They keep it fresh each week by varying the routines and always trying something new and challenging. You just never know what to expect. They always push us to try harder and do more. I owe them both a great deal and encourage anyone who's thinking about finding some balance in their lives to try Creative Vibrations!

I received an Abhyanga massage from Lalita as a way to start an Ayurvedic detox that I'm doing for myself this week. Knowing that there aren't many places in New York that offer Ayurvedic massage and treatments, I decided to come to Creative Vibrations because of the positive reviews I read and I got a good feeling about the place from their website, http://www.yogaastoria.... I felt bad that I was a tad late for my appointment. However, when I arrived at the studio, Lalita quickly offered me hot tea to drink and a large basin of warm water and a towel to help clean my feet. Following this nice opening ritual was the massage which lasted pleasantly for an hour and a half. Lalita used lots of warm oil for the massage and focused a long time on my sore areas: back, hips and legs. It's a full-body experience and includes massage for the scalp and nasya drops applied inside the nose to clear your sinuses. If you're curious to try an Abhyanga massage, I highly recommend coming here, as it is my favorite kind of therapeutic massage compared to others (Swedish, deep tissue) that I've experienced. I look forward to returning!!

My girlfriend and I went to Creative Vibrations for a couples massage just after the new year(and boy did we need it!). We had an absolutely lovely experience, from beginning to end. It was the kickoff to what may have been the best weekend I've had in years! I'm definitely going back!

Today was the second time I came to Creative Vibrations Yoga Studio for an Ayurvedic massage. It seems that this is the only studio in Astoria, or one of the few in the New York City area that offers such an authentic nurturing and healing experience during and after. The Ditmars station and the studio itself makes you feel like you are traveling to another part of the world. An excellent experience all around. I also have taken yoga at this studio and gained new insights to my practice

yoga is one of the best practices that with my experince i can recommend for both spiritual nourishment and physical exercises. This practice is being offered cheaply at creative yoga studio and Ayurvedic spa. Take a chance to day and experience.

This is my favorite place in Astoria to get massages and for yoga classes. I tried both deep tissue and ayurvedic massage and particularly ayurvedic massage was the best thing in the world! They use specially formulated herbal oils from India and the treatment is luxurious. I signed up for a monthly unlimited yoga membership as well and although i am not flexible and can barely touch my toes, i will stick to their beginner classes which they offer 5 times a week. The studio is friendly and affordable and you dont even have to walk to the street level from the train station, it is right in Ditmars Mall, off the train. Super convenient and quiet despite proximity to the train. I give this place 5 stars, come check them out for yourself, they offer Pilates classes as well and a wide variety of ayurvedic spa treatments.
