Inside the New ‘Sacred Space Astoria’ on 21st Ave: Much More Than Just Yoga

Kimberly Alexandrescu was visiting Detroit with her family last Christmas when she and her husband spent an entire 24 hours discussing the possibility of buying a yoga studio. They decided it wasn’t the right decision for them…yet when they returned home to Astoria a few days later, she started looking for available space.

Kimberly has been practicing yoga for 20 years, and is also a reiki master and Urban Zen Integrative Therapist (yoga/reiki teachers who are trained treat illness symptoms through those healing modalities). She finally just opened her dream studio, Sacred Space Astoria, located at 29-05 21st Ave, to “fill the gap of what I’ve been missing for my own practice.”

“My family and I have lived in Astoria/Upper Ditmars for the last 14 years, and I’m really excited to bring this type of studio to the neighborhood,” she said. “We’ve really needed a one-stop shop for yoga, mindfulness, meditation, spiritual growth, energy work, and readings.”

Right now they have about 20 classes a week, but will be expanding their offerings as time goes on.

“We’re offering a full spectrum of workshops that will support both the physical, energetic and spiritual aspects that often accompany a yoga practice,” she said.

This includes: private reiki sessions, energy work, various types of readings, manifesting with vision boards, chakra alignments, meditation and much more. They also have a small retail space with crystals, journals, books, sage, etc., anything that “further supports a spiritual journey.”

Family programming has already begun and will be expanding in early March, including family yoga, Baby and Me, Toddler Yoga, and a weekday Toddler and Caregiver class where the toddler will have a creative/educational class in one studio and the adult will take a yoga class in the adjacent room.

As for the space, Kimberly did a full renovation and build out, which you can see detailed below. “The space is really quite zen but homey and welcoming,” she said of the final result.

Right now, you can check out their upcoming schedule on their website here, and stay up to date on Instagram here. They even have a first-time unlimited class deal for $39.
