Professional, educated, clean, and personal is how I would summarize Balance Yoga Studio. More than yoga, this woman does it all; massage, Pilates of every degree and a variety of yoga classes to please any level student. Get Judy if you can but none of the employees disappoint. I'm an annual fan favorite of this studio and I can't rave enough about the quality of care received by all students. The studio is spacious and cool (both in temperature and design) with a modest Cape May vibe. "Yoga at the cove" is a costal yoga experience with views of migrating dolphins and surfers in training while you're led through simple to moderate poses on the sand. Gentle and restorative classes are brilliantly designed in this studio although Judy and her team know how to break a sweat and bring a challenge as well. This is definitely a studio that the consistent practicing student will appreciate along side a more timid beginner. Don't sleep on this Cape May experience. Namaste. read more

As an experienced mover and former dancer I was hesitant and a bit weary of finding a studio that would be compatible with my body awareness and knowledge...then I found Balance Cape May. In one word Wow! From the moment I stepped into the studio and took class(yoga and Pilates) owner/ teacher Judy Heaney's knowledge of all practices and corresponding anatomy were apparent! In the summer classes are attended by those at different levels of practice which can vary beginner thru advanced. Judy offered modifications that empowered and motivated without leaving anyone felling left behind or challenged. Try her Yoga shred HIIT classes for a change up on your yoga practice. Talk about a workout! Added plus...her infectious smile and sometimes corny sense of humor. I would highly recommend her online classes to anyone interested in a healing, holistic, nurturing environment for beginner thru Advanced Yogis and Pilates followers read more

Balance is the best place in Cape May to practice Pilates and Yoga! The studio is fully equipped and offers a wide variety of classes with highly knowledgable instructors. I have taken Pilates mat, springboard, and barre classes here and I am pleased with how challenging, fun and integrative the classes are. I also love that there are group Pilates Reformer classes offered because I want to try that in the future. The studio is very clean and comfortable, making it an adequate environment for all class types. Judy is accommodating to any and all fitness levels and she is a very excellent and experienced instructor with a great sense of humor, making the workouts even more fun. I will continue to take classes at Balance and would recommend it to anyone who is local to Cape May or here on vacation! Thank you Judy!! read more

I am a certified Pilates and yoga instructor and this is where I go every time I'm in Cape May. This studio is equipped with high quality Balance Body apparatus, and each summer is staffed with the highest quality teachers available at the Jersey shore. Each teacher brings their unique experience and style to their classes. Judy, the studio owner, is an exceptional and fun teacher with advanced training and experience. I have been taking class with Judy and her staff at Balance Pilates and Yoga for 15 years. Judy is incredibly knowledgeable and has a special way of making each class unique, and challenging and just what you need all at the same time. I always leave class feeling strong and with a fresh perspective on my day. There is something for everyone at this studio. read more

In my search to deal with my scoliosis issues I was referred to Judy because she has first hand experience dealing with scoliosis. Judy's extensive training enabled her to provide in depth yoga instruction specific to my personal needs. I worked with Judy 1-1 for 2 months and she also provided an instructional dvd for me to use at home. I attend group yoga sessions with Judy and other instructors who have extensive yoga training. After taking yoga classes with other instructors I feel that Judy meets my needs the best. Jane Hind read more

I began spring Pilates and yoga lessons at Balance studio about six months ago after beginning my retirement and never having done either activity before. It has been a great experience in large part to the expert skills of my instructor,Judy and the welcoming and accepting environment that she creates. I would highly recommend lessons here because of the benefits from better muscle toning, increased flexibility, as well as because of the supportive community that keeps me coming back. read more

Rita Lynn rocks! Had awesome 90 minute massage from Rita today and I feel so much better. My right shoulder has been very tight from working and carrying my toddler around and Rita helped release much of the tension that was creating pain in my back. She is available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays after classes end at the studio. I've received many massages from therapists at different spas locally and internationally, I can honestly say she is one of the best. read more

Judy is a knowledgeable and engaging instructor. I usually have a horrible time paying attention in class, but her witty banter coupled with helpful hints on body awareness keeps me focused. She is constantly educating herself on methods to improve her instruction. I strongly recommend taking a private. She pays attention to your individual body and it's limitations and strengths. I have chronic SI pain and I always feel much better after working out with her. read more

Today was the first beach yoga class of the season for me & it was awesome! Being together with the other women (but safely distant ) on the beach felt great! The Cove was the perfect setting! Waves were crashing, sun was out but not too hot, there was a breeze & we had beautiful view of the lighthouse. Judy led a great class that left me feeling very peaceful & strong. Thank you! I will definitely be back ‍ read more

BALANCE has brought wellness into my life again. I have found that all of the instructors are qualified, patient and encouraging. This summer, I have had the luxury of an all inclusive program but look forward to some privates as well. The studio is clean and friendly and the perfect way to achieve a regular routine. Highest recommendation for BALANCE. Thank you Judy! Jess read more

Yoga on Jackson Street Beach with Judy is the highlight of our Cape May vacations every year. There is so much to love about Cape May, but Judy's yoga classes are what I look forward to the most. Judy's expertise, knowledge, and professionalism are exceptional. Her classes are invigorating and challenging without being difficult. I can't wait to go back! read more

I've taken yoga classes for 40 years all over the US. Judy's classes are exceptional. She has great variety, she adapts the classes for all proficiency levels. She makes it fun, not a workout. I am only a summer visitor to Cape May and miss her wintertime. Can't wait for next May to return. Anna Marie read more
