So...I won't pretend to be a 'yogi' or even an exercise expert. In fact, my first official yoga class was only this past December, at a different studio. I also HATE working out and going to the gym. But I think that's why this review is all the more meaningful. One of my very good friends recommended this studio to me, expressing their true community based approach and overall good vibes. I took one class, and have since been there four times in the past 10 days, with my 5th class booked for tomorrow. The yoga mantra is to be spiritually connected to oneself and others, but not every yoga studio in Hoboken practices that. I can honestly say that Urban Souls not only preaches that mantra, but also practices it as well. The people and instructors have been AMAZING. They are what keeps me coming back. Not to mention the studio is beautiful. So far, I've tried MELT with Denise (such a unique experience and seriously good workout), Restorative with Tam, and Weekend Wine Down with Julie. I would recommend any of them! Shout out to Karen and Brendan for being so kind and awesome at the front desk. I will gladly DRIVE into Hoboken and LOOK FOR PARKING to go to this place - and that is a compliment! If you're looking to get into yoga, but are intimidated to start, this is the place for you. It's just nice to find a place with genuinely...
Read moreMy journey began when I won 2 weeks free at the green fair 6/12/19 and I've stayed a member ever since :) ..Everyone is very nice and friendly. Plenty of yoga classes each week as well as experiences. I attended The Awesome class recently which was awesome and virtual. (mixture meditatiin, Qi Ging. tapping, stretching, listening to flute ,..) I had the option of virtual or in class..and chose virtual. I have attended Leigh's Shamanic Sound Journey Meditation 6 times..will be attending more classes. For me, esp since I work at home, the experiences, as well as the classes give me something to look forward to, even lunch time classes virtually, to give myself a much needed yoga time as i take a break from work. I enjoy meditation classes as well..also for me, muchly needed as i work from home. So to whomever is reading this I hope that you too, come and try out some classes, and since its virtual, you can be in a different state or even country and still attend classes virtually, I've even recommended Urban Souls Yoga Studio to my friend...
Read moreThis is without a doubt the best yoga studio in Hoboken! I became a member over a year ago and am so happy I did! Urban Souls is a great studio that fosters an inclusive, encouraging atmosphere for yogis of all levels. To adapt to Covid, Urban Souls offers in studio and livestream classes. The class schedule is quite broad and includes restorative classes to advanced, fast flowing classes (Urban Warriors with Brendan & Yoga with Weights with Jenna are my favorite classes!). I've taken almost all the classes with many different instructors and they are all fantastic. If you make it to the studio, it is beautiful -- brand new, lots of natural daylight with large windows offering a view into the city, and beautiful lighting in the evenings or during meditation. I can't recommend this studio enough and the sense of community it creates. During COVID, my yoga practice has been a great outlet. I am so happy I found Urban Souls as I try to learn & grow my...
