Community

Community is at the heart of Esquina, a vibrant hub where movers, musicians, and artists unite in celebration of diversity and wellness. We're dedicated not only to physical well-being but also to nurturing the mind and spirit. Our community thrives on collective growth, playfulness, and inclusivity, making Esquina a unique and inspiring place to be.

Scholarship & Work-Study Programs

It is our goal at Esquina to reflect the diverse community in which we operate our business—Brooklyn! We believe everyone deserves to find joy in movement and collaboration regardless of socioeconomic background.

As such, we offer a limited number of scholarships and work-study options towards group classes for those for whom our standard pricing poses a financial burden. We also offer scholarships for our Youth Classes.

Please contact us for more information.

(Note: this excludes personal and small group training.)

Masterclass Series

At Esquina, we're committed to ongoing education and exploration, regardless of the milestones we achieve. As a diverse community, there's a wealth of knowledge to share and learn from each other. Join us for our masterclass series, where we invite experts from our community and beyond to introduce something fresh and insightful! If there is collective interest, we can make an ongoing class!

It Takes a Village

Whether we are active athletes, busy parents or just getting back into a movement practice, we all deal with aches and pains, injuries and traumas to our physical body. Esquina aims to help the community become well versed in a variety of self-care techniques that empower us to care for our own bodies without having to always outsource our healing. However, when the need arises and an issue surpasses our own capacity to cope, it is important to have a network of trusted professionals to rely on.  

Community Partnerships

As a proud local, women-owned business, we're passionate about supporting our neighborhood enterprises. Stay tuned for exciting collaborations and exclusive local discounts!
