Surya Yoga Academy — Local services in Hoboken

If you’re looking for a yoga practice that keeps you motivated and pushes your practice to a deeper level, you will love Surya Yoga. I started with the two week special and I was skeptical at first. Whether I’ll survive the heat, will It become monotonous or is it capable of magically converting me into a peaceful yogi as well as transform my body into that of a 20 year old.

I suspect that 2 or 3 classes in you may find yourself addicted to Surya Yoga's particular...

Their classes really help me relax my body and mind. The space itself isn’t super pleasant (it’s underground and the ceiling the low) but it’s the instructors and fellow yogis that make the experience great! They try to make the classes more interesting by adding personal touches from the instructors (such as sound bath, sharing their thoughts and paragraphs from books, aromatherapy). I wish they had more weekend sessions (they have recently added Sunday night yaaay!) - their downtown JC location has more sessions. If you’re a first timer just go to their website to buy a two week unlimited pass for 40 dollars (max one session per day) and reservation via their website is easy. They’re responsive via...
