Yoga Body Shop — Restaurant in Town of Union

When reviewing The Yoga Body Shop it is important to first review the area in which it exists. Binghamton, falls just short of Seattle for the amount of cloudy days- if you were to visit from out of town you would soon understand how Rod Sterling drew his inspiration for his hit TV show “The Twilight Zone” from the area. The days seem to blend into a gradient of gray- where energy and spirits fight to exist. In this environment it is easy to lose connection- from community, self, spirit, purpose.

This is where The Yoga Body Shop comes into the picture- it is a much needed ray of light and ignitor of spirit- A place where even the most broken spirits can reconnect and find solace. The energy there is unlike any other.

As soon as you walk through the door- you feel a sense of home. The compassionate, empathetic and knowledgeable staff can help you weather seemingly unending storms and lead you to the rainbow that follows.

With their extensive class schedules- it is easy to mold a yoga routine around the most chaotic schedules. Challenge yourself to sweat the stress before work with their 6am Earlybird hot yoga. Or unwind after a long day with their calming, candlelit Yin Yoga.

No matter what your level- the Yoga Body Shop will help you connect to your inner yogi. The Yoga Body Shop is more than a yoga studio- it is a community of light; Igniting the sparks in their clients, who in turn radiate throughout the day.

In the journey of life it is easy to become lost. Working with The Yoga Body Shop gives you the opportunity to find yourself - and- as the saying goes- “Knowing yourself is the beginning...

My first class I took advantage of the online-only offer and went to the Hips, Hamstrings, and More class, where Jennifer was the instructor. While I haven't been in practice for a few years and I've lost a lot of my core muscle tone from an abdominal surgery, Jennifer did a great job leading the class, not only for me at a beginner/intermediate level, but also for the people in the class that were beyond intermediate. I never felt lost or excluded, and at the same time the more experienced people seemed to find the class well-suited for their level of practice. Jennifer was lovely: energetic, knowledgeable, helpful, but not intrusive. I felt very comfortable being vulnerable and letting go, and that comfort extends to the general vibe of the class; a testament to the culture Jennifer helps foster at yoga body shop. The studio is very clean, no odd smells, well-kept bathrooms and showers, a very nice lounge, and an inviting juice bar. After my first visit I purchased the 40 dollar/unlimited for new students and attended a candlelight yin yoga class--this pacing was perfect for winding down from a stressful day and really paying attention to the care that my connective tissues and mind needed. I'm looking forward to trying more classes and making my visits to the yoga body shop a regular and daily practice and would recommend it to anyone, beginners or experienced practitioners. There is really something for everyone at the...

I have been practicing at the Yoga Body Shop for a little over a year. In that time, I have grown both mentally and physically. The instructors and staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Every time I walk in, I am always greeted by name by the staff and instructors while they wait to welcome you to class. Not only do the instructors explain your poses, and offer minor adjustments, if you are comfortable with that, but they also talk about different strategies in life to use to cope with everyday stressors. There have been many times that I have heard the voices of the instructors in my head when I'm out in the world and it has helped me to remain calm and neutral at times that I might have otherwise become anxious or overwhelmed They also care very much for the community and have done many fundraisers and things to increase awareness of different agencies/organization.

It feels like a family, it feels like a community that I belong to.

If I could give them a 1000 stars I would.

It's one of the best decisionsI' ve ever made❤️❤️❤️ Thank you...
