Edwin’s studio is the best. He is very knowledgeable and gentle. Recommended to all ages. I moved far away and miss him a lot!

Over the years I've taken yoga classes with many teachers, in different styles and Edwin Bergman is the very best teacher of yoga I have ever had. What makes him so great? He is more concerned about getting into each pose from the inside, out. He has a unique ability to articulate each subtle movement to do this, and each directive goes directly into my brain, with the result being so much more profound. Another rare gift that he has is the ability express the the essence of Eastern thought in basic terms, in a way that is not at all preachy or sanctimonious. Last but not least, Edwin conducts himself in a manner that reflects his own spirituality, but in what I call a "brown paper bag" way: he is not the star and treats each person with great respect to bring out their very best.

I had the great privilege to practice with Edwin for years in NYC in the earlier 2000’s. Like many others, I attended every class I could, not just because Edwin is a really good teacher (he had what I would call celebrity status and a kind of cult-like following in the downtown yoga scene at the time). Classes were transformative, both in body and in mind. I, like many other New Yorkers, were heartbroken when he left for Miami. Fast forward 9 years to the early days of the pandemic. I searched and found he’d just taken Yoga That, his Miami studio, online. I have been practicing serious Iyengar yoga with Edwin and his students ever since….how lucky:)….He makes signing up the easiest and his attention to each of his students’ (in person and online) yoga needs is remarkable….thank you, Edwin and everyone who makes this possible!

I have been practicing Yoga with Edwin for about 10 years now.All along these years I have witnessed his consistent grace, dedication, compassion towards himself and his Yoga practice. He then gift this to his community of students, colleagues and teachers.Edwin has a vast knowledge of the human anatomy and he organically infuses it in the classes, always empowering the students. His approach to teaching is always kind and personalized. He is able to guide every student in every class.I have also witnessed the flourishing of the studio Yoga That and how lovingly Edwin and the other teachers care for it . Yoga That is a safe space where I have always felt seen, cared for and respected as a student and human being. I am extremely grateful for the online classes that have allowed me to continue my classes with Edwin from afar. The studio is centrally located, it has a beautiful room for practice with plenty of light and ventilation. There are many options for parking.I recommend Yoga That studio from my heart.

I have had the pleasure of practicing yoga with Edwin for almost 12 years. I have taken many other classes, with many other teachers - and without doubt, Edwin is yoga. Not only does he have an expert knowledge of human anatomy, energetic awareness, and safety precautions - for each body and body type, but his energy consistently - for 12 years (at least 2x per week) is always clear, supportive, knowledgeable and kind. We have moved out of Miami but still do classes with him consistently, since he offers Zoom/virtual classes. His ability to manage the class - in person and online - is exceptional. I trust him completely. Everyone who has ever taken a class with him knows the gift he is. He is keenly aware of each person's practice - whether online or in the room, and he is funny. I find myself chuckling a bit in every class - since he adds his own humor to the moment often. I adore him, to say the least. I recommend him and his lovely studio - with all my heart.

Yoga That is a hidden gem in the heart of Miami Beach. The teachers are highly experienced and considerate of each student’s unique abilities. My yoga practice has blossomed here through both group classes and private sessions. This is the ideal place for anyone and everyone to incorporate the practice of yoga into their lives.

I started practicing with Edwin at YOGA THAT online during the COVID pandemic and found my yoga home. i have had Iyengar teachers in the past but none as inspiring, kind and helpful as Edwin. I have become so much stronger, patient and calmer -- and have gained a deeper understanding of my practice as a result of this practice!

A gem of a find in the heart of Miami Beach! Started practicing astanga yoga roughly 25 years ago, and for the last 10 years Iyengar yoga. Yoga is for everyone! As B.K.S Iyengar said "some students only pay attention to the physical aspect of yoga, this practice is like a fast flowing stream, tumbling and falling, which lacks depth and direction, by attending to the mental and spiritual side of yoga, a sincere student becomes like a smoothly flowing river, irrigating and fertilizing the land around it”. Iyengar yoga builds up strength, confidence and flexibility. I am stronger more flexible and steady at 53 than I was at 23. I always say Iyengar Yoga aligned the chassis of my body. And Edwin's teaching of Iyengar yoga is what I contribute this marvelous change to! I recommend this practice to each and everyone of you!

One of the worst yoga experiences of my life. Total tyrannical dictatorship. The instructor talks down to you and tells you to exactly what he's saying and I've been doing yoga for 20 years. I had to walk out. Very unpleasant experience, opposite of zen.

I feel so fortunate to have found Edwin and Yoga That online during the pandemic. I had done Iyengar yoga before but was very rusty (and older!) so I started with his Basics class. He is a very knowledgeable, prepared and patient teacher. He offers modifications and how to use supportive props with every class. I always keep my camera on so he can correct me - so that I get the most from each pose - without hurting my body. In addition to the regular ongoing classes, Edwin occasionally offers special series of 30 minute (“7 day challenges”) classes throughout the year. These have really helped my daily practice and moved me forward. I highly recommend him and if I ever get to Miami, I’ll definitely be in the studio!

I have been practicing with Edwin for years at Yoga That. He is an extraordinary gem in the Miami Beach community. He is so knowledgeable about the body and how to support it so that yoga is accessible to everyone, He knows all of his students and their strengths and challenges. It is remarkable to have a teacher like this and to be connected to a community of practitioners who know each other and support each other in the pursuit of wholeness and ongoing good health. It is Edwin;s kind, joyful and encouraging spirit that inspires us to continue on the yogic path...not only practicing postures but studying yoga as a practice for living. I am eternally grateful for all Yoga That and Edwin has given me over the years.

Years of running, biking and weights at the gym eventually take their toll on the body and at some point, many look to alternative forms of exercise to maintain their balance.My first formal introduction to Iyengar yoga was at YogaThat. Edwin Bergman (owner of the studio) is an amazing, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable Iyengar teacher and has helped guide me on my path in yoga. Regardless of your level of yoga experience, Edwin’s guidance, and that of all the other terrific, certified instructors that support the studio – provide a great forum for learning and practicing Iyengar yoga in a welcoming environment.This studio is one of the hidden yoga gems of Miami Beach. If you happen to be visiting from out of town or are a long-time resident looking for a great way to maintain your inner balance and overall health through yoga – I highly recommend YogaThat.

I love Iyengar yoga and Edwin is the best teacher I have ever had. He is amazing. I live stream the Miami classes from NJ and could not find a better experience. And the price is outstanding!!
