My home away from home recently reopened up in Bloomfield: ZURA Blooms!! Right next to the parking…read moregarage by Foodtown. I used to attend hot/warm/non hot yoga & cardio sculpt classes with co-owner Rebecca Frezza and many other talented instructors pre-Covid.. Like so many, the community was heartbroken when they had to close up back in 2020, BUT: Rebecca, Ilene, Sabratha & Beth have teamed up to do the incredible: pivot and begin again. I cannot imagine the strength of character and creativity it takes to rebuild such a unique community, but these fantastic people are doing it! Alas after enduring incredibly, Zura Bloom reopened right by the Food Town near 6 Points. Their new space is a haven from the outside world: walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor to see that the walls are decorated with John Atura's original paintings, vaulted ceilings and bar studio mirrors and large windows that allow for streaming morning sunlight while maintaining the privacy of those in class. When I step inside the studio.. my mind is put at ease, and I feel welcome. I almost wish I could just hang out at the studio when working remotely just to enJoy the atmosphere some more. There are showers, bathrooms & lovely lavender oil infused towels in the mini fridge to cool down post class. The instructors genuinely care about the people that come to classes, and this is not the kind of place where you will accidentally get hurt doing something that's not right for your body, i.e. classes or "brands" that push you to the point of improper form. Zura welcomes all students of all ages and ability levels, and the instructors are knowledgeable about body mechanics, music and dance, teaching pedagogies and the various philosophies associated with different styles of yoga. I highly recommend any person in search of exercise, health or a bit of peace to attend. Some of my favorite classes are for mindfulness, building strength & excellent instrumental *music curation/choreography* are: - Rebecca's 2:30pm Sat. (Rhthym & Fire*) - Dante's anytime / any day ! (Fusion*) - John's 5pm Friday - Cassie's Hot 26 - Tabitha's* Hot 26 * Many classes (mainly Hot 26) are silent to help students focus, meditate & connect with their breathing, but a few classes use instrumental/percussion & light Sanskrit vocal based playlists that are extremely well paired to movements. I'm talking about musical selections that flow and transition through genres like tribal hand drums from around the world, classical & New Age Indian rāga, electronica from music producers like trip hop L.A. based DJ Bonobo, and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of double bassist and composer Garth Stevenson.* Favorite classes for soothing the body & developing better posture: - Ilene Sunday PM - Beth's early morning - BobbiJo's early morning Favorite classes for vigorous movement: - Rebecca A's Vinyasa - Jeffrey's Power Hour There are still a bunch of instructors that are new to me, and I haven't had the chance to take their classes yet, but I hope to soon!! So happy this studio has reopened in my own backyard. info@zurablooms.com Call: 973-531-6912 71 Washington Street Bloomfield, NJ 07003 https://zurablooms.com

BEST STUDIO IN VERONA! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL studio and yoga instructors that truly care about you…read moreand your well being! I've never been to a class where instructors helped you tweak a pose to get it as perfect as possible. I am all about the vibe I get when I walk into a studio. When I walked into The Vastu it felt like home...lots of beautiful natural light and very cozy. I was greeted by the owner Kanan who was so wonderful. She gave me a tour of the studio and introduced me to another instructor that was just finished with a class. She truly made me feel so welcome. Couldn't be happier!

After a few years of sterile and bland yoga at The Y (that's not meant as a knock) it was nice to…read morejump back in the deep end at a place that's whole hog when it comes to incense burning, the trippy and atmospheric music floating through the building, and all sorts of 'new age' doohickeys decorated throughout.  (My very first class and the instructor pulled out a Shruti box to play at the very start and end of our practice... that was a first for me.) The entire biz looks great (front/store, the studio itself, the locker room in back).  It's clean and inviting and you can tell the entire staff cares about the place. I love that the class doesn't face the mirrors for class (the absolute worst) and every few feet there's the 'STUFF' bucket (napkins, tissues, cleaning solution for your mat) which is such a great 'cherry on top' that I never saw in other yoga studios I've been to. Pricing is solid (I was originally lured here through a deal over at Groupon). To date I've bounced between four different classes/levels/instructors.  Each class was unique and challenging and every teacher has been welcoming, supportive and a total pro. The studio is right by a busy intersection - metered parking on the street (I believe an hour max) and a municipal lot behind the studio (metered till 6pm, I think) for more than one hour. Even if I'm officially long in the tooth and nowadays Child's Pose and Shavasana are more my jam instead of Bhairavasana or Eka Hasta Vrksasanav - I'm just glad to have found a cool place to get on the mat and zen out for a spell.  (Will I ever advance up to their 'P3' hot yoga class?  Not even with some help from Ganapati and Hanuman!)

I love, love, love Good Vibes Yoga & Kombucha Bar. Mike, has a beautiful space for people to do hot…read moreyoga in a very inviting atmosphere. I have completed 3 sessions, and each time, I am amazed at how great my mind, body, and soul feels. I attended a 8:15 session, and the sweat, that you release, along with the stretching was very good for my achy body. I could not keep up with the pace as a newbie, but Mike is so kind to let you go at your own pace. I recommend bringing a beach towel to line your yoga mat because, you will slip, and slide from all the sweat you release. Also bring a gallon of water, you will need the hydration. I love at the end of class, Mike gives a cold towel that has soaked in eucalyptus. After an intense work out you feel like the angels of earth has opened up the sky's; that's really how good the cool wet towel feels. My favorite part is at the end of the class, there is a awesome meditation. I love how it clears all the unimportant stuff in your head space. I walked in with things on my mind. I walked out feeling love for humanity, peace, happiness, and more aligned with my inner true self. Sleep- Oh my, I got the best sleep of my life. I normally do magnesium flakes in a hot bath. But hot yoga gave me the best sleep of my life (I repeat) I believe in going to bed in happy, peaceful state. And this is my new go to for an intense work out, sweat out all the junk, hydrate like crazy, and sleep better than anything in this world. This is the cure for insomnia! Thank you Mike for this awesome space.

Ananta Yoga is a beautiful, welcoming studio with some of the most friendly, knowledgeable teachers…read moreI have come across. The studio has a great atmosphere, from the bamboo floors to the chiming fountain that greets you as you walk in the door. Ananta has created a real yoga community, where the teachers know your name and the students know each other. Beginners and seasoned yogis will both find themselves at new places in their practice after a few classes at Ananta. They also hold specialty workshops for beginners, lower back problems, knitters, and golfers. I recommend this studio to anyone in the area, especially since it's conveniently located right off Route 23. If you want to find yourself in a peaceful place, go to Ananta Yoga!

And for some odd reason I decided to buy/try a VHS cassette of "Power Yoga" and was immediately hooked. Fast forward 15 years and I finally tried yoga in a studio setting - "Movement Journeys" (the first/original studio at this very location) which lasted for a few years. Fast forward another 13(ish) years (time sure flies by, huh?) and I was in need of a (new) studio to continue my practice so I signed up for a weekday "mixed yoga" class here at '108'. From the reception area to the studio itself... everything was so much nicer and warmer and inviting than from what I recall from the prior studio. The workers/instructors could not have been any sweeter or welcoming. And the class? After so much mileage on the mat I was pretty confident I'd be able to handle the hour but before you knew it the instructor had us attempting 'Bird of Paradise' pose and I was smitten. (To say it's a challenging pose would be an understatement.) A clean studio. Awesome staff. A class that's demanding and rewarding. (Not to mention class starts and ends on time - which was never the case at the last studio I used to go to a few towns over.) What more could you ask for? Consider me a fan.

The Perfect Studio for Beginners -- and Beyond!…read more As someone completely new to yoga, I was a little nervous walking into my first class -- but this studio put me at ease right away. From the moment I arrived, the staff and instructors were incredibly welcoming and kind. There's a peaceful, inviting energy to the space that immediately makes you feel comfortable, even if you have no idea what you're doing (like I didn't at first!). The instructors are amazing at explaining everything clearly and offering modifications without making you feel singled out. They strike the perfect balance between encouraging and supportive, and I never once felt out of place. I've already noticed an improvement in my flexibility, stress levels, and overall mindset -- something I never expected so quickly as a beginner. The classes are thoughtfully paced, and there's a wide variety to explore as I build confidence in my practice. What's even more special is the sense of community here -- people are friendly, down-to-earth, and genuinely encouraging. If you're new to yoga and unsure where to start, I can't recommend this studio enough. It's been such a positive and empowering experience, and I'm truly grateful to have found it!

I've tried their heated Barre class and heated Pilates class so far- they kicked my butt but I loved it! You will definitely be proud and sweaty at the end. The studio provided towels, dumbbells, bands, and other equipment as well as the mat. At the end of the heated class they even bring out a cold towel which was very refreshing. The instructors are great and do the workout with you to motivate you- I don't know how they have so much energy!
