Love this studio. I was actually in the class that S.D. is referring to and I think it's important to note that this is a very small and personal yoga studio basically run by two people (as far as I know). In today's economy everyone knows that it's very difficult to run a business independently and Cristal and Pooja do an amazing job. As soon as the problem was noted, Cristal ran out of class to handle it quickly and professionally. S.D. states "The store manager was shocked that people at Soul Power Yoga looked at him and continued without talking to him. " No such thing happened. There are blinds covering the door that lead from the studio to the lobby so there's no way anyone could have even seen him. Sometimes both Pooja and Cristal are in the studio so there's someone at the phones, but both of them are not always there at the same time. During practice it's true that it is difficult to hear the phone ringing however, so it could be helpful for something to be in place in case of these VERY RARE emergencies. If you want a studio that makes you feel like part of a community and is very personal, this is a great one. Cristal and Pooja will remember your name after only one class and are great teachers. The studio is small and so are the class sizes. Both are great at directing us so we know how to listen to our bodies and move into our poses. The studio is at a great warm temperature, especially for the wintertime. One of my favorite parts of the entire practice though, is that at the end you're left with a good amount of time to stay in savasana and relax. I've been to places where people just start packing up right away, or floods of students come in right after. My personal favorite is the hot yoga classes but there are a variety of classes depending on what you want to work on. There are hold/sculpt classes which really do give you a work out that are good also. Overall, despite the fact the studio is so small that it can't hire an extra person to man the desk, I think it's a great place to practice if you're looking for a friendly and warm environment. If you are someone who worries about emergencies, bring your phone into the studio with you. read more

I've always wanted to try Yoga, but never really knew where to go. I bought a Groupon that they had advertised, and decided to just go for it. I took a look at their website (which is well organized and informative) and saw that it had classes for people who work a 9-5 job, and people who don't! My biggest issue with not trying yoga yet is all the classes are at 10AM and usually studios do not have 6PM+ classes. SPY allows me to go to work, have a stressful day, and I was so relaxed when I left. It was my first time doing yoga and the class moved at a good pace, there was positive reinforcement throughout the class from the instructor, and good directions. I would also like to point out that I had emailed the studio when I bought the Groupon and got an immediate response from them telling me about their different classes, giving me tips for my 1st time, and really welcoming to the studio even though I had zero experience. Overall, one of the best first experience I've had for fitness/health classes. Also one of the best and relaxing work outs. I LOVED Soul Power Yoga and would recommend it to all of my friends and family! read more

Jan 2011 - My wife was in a class at Soul Power Yoga and I had to reach her due to a medical emergency (related to our son) and no one was answering the phone at the studio. My son's school tried 20 times (min.) to reach the studio and every time it went into voice mail. There was only one employee working and she was teaching class therefore the door is locked so no one else comes in. Since the studio was not answering the phone (no receptionist!!) I contacted a store manager next door to Soul Power Yoga to knock on the window/door to get their attention and speak to my wife. (not sure what else to do when my wife is locked in a studio and no one is answering the phone!!). The store manager was shocked that people at Soul Power Yoga looked at him and continued without talking to him. As a parent I was shocked that a yoga studio does not have someone answer phones during normal business hours in case of an emergency. DO NOT ATTEND SOUL POWER YOGA because this could happen to you! read more

I live in California but travel to the East Coast for business at least twice a year and am there for over two weeks each time so I always appreciate the ability to get some kind of work out in. Taking a class at this studio leaves me feeling great for days! The studio is spacious, with beautiful wood floors and just the right amount of heat. I find that many studios save on space by having a very small reception area but not SPY; they have a large lobby area where I have found people often congregate after class to socialize a bit. You can tell that the regulars here are very connected to the studio and it's owners/teachers. In classes here I have found that the teachers really allow everyone to move at their own pace and they come around the class helping all levels make small improvements in each session. I would totally reccommend this studio for everyone from the Yoga newbie to the pro and am looking forward to my next trip out there in April so I can take a couple classes! read more

This clean and professional yoga studio is owned by two wonderful sisters, who exhibit pride and love for their business. I recently had my daughter's birthday party at Soul Power Yoga. They kept 20 nine-year olds completely engaged and interested and gave each a time to be the center of attention. I would highly recommend it for a birthday party or other gathering. Not to mention, that I am totally hooked, and will surely be attending their adult classes, with a convenient schedule and great pricing options. Amazing customer service...a rare find in today's world! Cristal and Pooja told me that they view their studio as an extension of their home and wanted to extend their hospitality to us in every way possible! They exceeded our expectations! Kudos to Soul Power Yoga! read more

Cristal and Pooja not only introduced me to yoga but also my (at the time) 5 month old daughter. When we first began my daughter was extremely tight and resistant to most range of motion in her hips. Within a few sessions she began to loosen up and is now working on developing that movement into more. I have taken almost every "baby and me" class you can think of, but the class at Soul Power Yoga is truly the only one I have seen a true developmental change not only for my daughter but for myself as well. They not only accommodate the unpredictable baby moods but also incorporate exercises based on you and you baby's needs. This is truly a class I will continue with and look forward to it every week! read more

This studio is fabulous, as are the sisters who own and operate it and teach the classes. I"ve taken classes at every studio in eastern Monmouth county and this studio is my favorite. It is ALWAYS clean and well-maintained and the classes are interesting and challenging - though you can always modify as needed. I also enjoy that they offer "different" classes - like a workshop or a class focusing on something in particular every so often as well. The sisters are so kind and truly seem to enjoy sharing their yoga practice with everyone who attends. The prices are quite reasonable also. read more

I have been going to yoga classes around the area for a while now, taking classes in different gyms and even trying private classes a few times. I can tell you that I've finally found a place to stay--Soul Power Yoga Studio is offering an amazing journey. The two owners (they're sisters!) are intelligent and passionate girls who really care. They create a special energy in the studio, welcoming everyone and always giving personal attention. They share a great philosophy of yoga, adding something extra to the usual physical interpretation of poses. read more

The studio offers a beautiful clean space, variety of classes for adults and children, inspiring music and educational events. SPY is well beyond yoga. This is a warm safe friendly sanctuary I turn to for - just like the name implies - soul and power. The teachers are genuinely interested in everyone's success, have it be first steps, new discoveries or advanced challenges. I have been a part of the SPY family for over a year and could not imagine not having yoga in my life, thanks to Cristal and Pooja. read more

So thankful I found Crystal at Soul Power yoga for prenatal yoga. Crystal created a unique, supportive space for moms-to-be. I looked forward to the weekly classes, the community of moms, and calm peaceful atmosphere that helped me clear my head and appreciate my body and baby during this time. All of the deep breathing and mantras we practiced in the prenatal class were truly valuable and I was able to deliver my baby naturally and med free. Thank you for everything you do for us moms! Namaste :) read more

Wonderful yoga studio for children!! This studio is emaculately clean, large and safe...My nine year old daughter has been taking classes with the sisters for some time now and she loves it!! The sisters who own and run the studio are extremely knowledgeable in all forms of yoga and provide a safe and nourishing environment for all their students...I would highly recommend this studio for any mom seeking the love of yoga for their children...love, love love it!!! read more

I really enjoy Soul Power Yoga, especially the "flow and let go" and "detox" classes. Cristal and Pooja ensure that no matter what your comfort or skill level, you are comfortable in the class. The environment is calm, warm (not hot) and welcoming. After each class, I feel relaxed, the best part is my brain has "slowed down" and I am reminded to enjoy my time in the studio for ME! A welcoming yoga studio for all levels of yoga knowledge and skill. read more
