Baby Cobra Yoga

Fitness · 3+ locations · Brooklyn: Bushwick, Williamsburg; Manhattan: East Village

Baby Cobra started as one donation-based Bushwick studio and has grown to three NYC locations without ever taking outside money. Founder Spencer Brisson still runs it himself, keeping costs low with self-serve mats and no receptionist so drop-in classes can stay pay-what-you-can.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

As Good as It Gets

Baby Cobra Yoga is founder-run and self-funded five years after Spencer Brisson opened its first Bushwick studio, with no investors, debt, or franchise structure behind its donation-based model. As a small, young operation, it has little public labor or environmental record to weigh beyond a clean search across enforcement databases. Revenue and decisions stay with Brisson, not outside capital.
