Tiffany, thank you for the amazing review on Yelp! We are humble and grateful that you are apart of this amazing journey that we are taking here at Jivamukti Yoga Jersey City. yelp/biz/jivamukti-yoga-center-jersey-city-jersey-city 5.0 star rating 5/21/2014 1 check-in here Let me begin by saying before finding this place I had been away from yoga for 9 years. Yikes! When I lived in California I practiced about three times a week for about 10 years. During my first pregnancy I practiced daily prenatal yoga, then boom! I had my first child and I lost touch with every part of myself that wasnt directly connected to my child/children. When I first searched yelp to find a place to practice I went with the place that had the most reviews. I was not impressed. The way I actually found this place was by coming in to ask for a donation of a yoga class to the teachers at my childrens school for teacher appreciation week. Austin graciously contributed to our school. While I was there I was struck by the wonderful feeling emanating from him as well as the space. It had been a long time since I had been in a yoga studio that had an authentic sensation of peace and strength greet me. Only a few days later I walked back with the intention to rekindle the relationship Id had with yoga in the past. I met bobby who shared the package options with me. I decided on and bought an unlimited month knowing I would need some time to get my strength back and open up to let my blocked energy flow again. What a good call! There were days during the first and second week that I would have stayed home if I had not committed myself financially. I wont skirt around it, getting back into a yoga practice brought up pain, fear and stress that had to be worked out. I had some intense realizations about how much I had sacrificed during the 9 years I spent away from yoga. Postures I used to do with ease and take for granted I could no longer do. I would find myself trembling from muscle fatigue and lack of balance. But, EACH of the instructors assisted me on finding correct alignment when I was struggling and that helped me to figure out how to get it right quickly. This is my fourth week. My shoulders, arms and core are noticeably stronger and my back, hips, and hamstrings are noticeably more flexible. I have been to a number of yoga studios and only a few have an authentic intention to teach their students vs hold sessions. At jivamukti the intention is authentic. You will find knowledgable leaders with an obvious desire to guide you toward your best. I mainly practice in the 9:15 open yoga class. Austin, Jordanna, and Holly have been who I have had the most exposure to. However, at the times another instructor lead the class I received the same focused attention, alignment corrections, and authentic nature as from the three I see most often. I have tried the aerial yoga class one time and really enjoyed it. By the end of class I felt like a cirque de solie performer. I prefer morning practice, but I would do it again on an afternoon I have free. I am pleased to have found jivamukti yoga. I plan to be a mainstay for as long as I live here. I truly believe you will find what your looking for in this space. Tiffany Alvord
