Purchased a Groupon for this studio yesterday and had my first class at 9:30 am today with Iwona. She was an absolute sweetheart so encouraging and helpful! I haven't done yoga in over a year and Iwona gave me the best pointers.
I was looking for a studio that would be physically challenging but a studio that left me feeling mentally clear was of the utmost importance. Shiva shanti is just that! Most NJ yoga studios I have visited tend to be very commercial but Shiva Shanti is authentic and has a community feel. The studio is small and quaint, I personally prefer more intimate classes. Tons

I've lived in Rutherford for 4yrs now and my biggest regret was not coming to Shiva Shanti sooner. In the last year or so I've had severe back pain due to a herniated disc and four degenerative discs with arthritis. To say it's been stressful mentally is an understatement. Along with corrective chiropractic therapy, I decided to take up Yoga to strengthen not only my body but my mind as well.
It's now been two months or so and Shiva Shanti has changed my life. The peace, strength, and positive energy I find in each class is amazing. Each teacher is unique in their own way and

Yoga is growing, Shiva Shanti's name is expanding, and of course a Groupon (as well as the regular listed prices at the studio) can not be turned down. Unfortunately, the studio is too small for a lounge where phones can be put out of hearing range and unfortunately the tardy will always be tardy. In leaving Shiva Shanti, I passionately hope to make my way into a studio just as great as here. I hope it does not stray any opinion you have of the studio but simply keeps you aware of the disturbances you will be signing up for. I wish the studio, Felise, all the instructors, and dedicated yogi

If you want a true authentic yoga experience, this is where you need to be. I highly recommend purchasing the new student 1 month intro for $45 (if I remember correctly) which you can use to experience as many classes as you want in one month. A year ago I was in India studying yoga and I can tell you from my heart that this yoga studio adheres to the true yoga philosophy with a kind and open heart. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and there are classes for all experience levels. For me, Shiva Shanti has been a saving grace as I am new in this state for work with no friends or family

What an amazing experience! I don't do yoga regularly so I go if I can get a good deal from Groupon or LivingSocial. Shiva yoga was running a special on Groupon $25 for unlimited 30 days yoga. I signed up and got one for my mom! We went to a 6:30 pm class and had an amazing experience. They have metered street parking $1/ hour. The studio is on the second floor. Such a serene lovely space. They provide you with all the equipment since I don't practice yoga regularly I got nothing. The class run for 1 hour 15 and we loved the instructor. Nice facility, they offer multiple classes 7 days

My happy place! Besides the amazing owner and teachers, the atmosphere is my favorite. The feeling you get when you enter, the lighting, the plants, the colors on the walls, and the tin ceiling. I can feel all of my worries melt away as I get more in touch with who I am and how my body supports me. Thank you, Felise, for making and keeping Shiva Shanti as a safe haven and a place for personal, emotional, spiritual, and physical growth.

I love this yoga school. The good energy just vibes off the walls in here. The classes are small, so you get focused attention from the instructors, and the room is very cozy. The addition of the 8pm classes is awesome, so helpful to get to sleep! I love that the practice focuses on the movements of yoga and the philosophy and theory behind it. The instructors all care about their students, but they never make you feel less-than, even if it's your first class. The school offers classes for the community in the park during the summer, which is

If you're looking for a cozy, warm, inviting environment for practicing yoga, look no farther. This studio has kind and knowledgeable teachers- they really care about their students, and each month has an educational focus. The practice livens the body and the mind, which is so important. The studio interacts with the community, offering free classes in the summer in the park (which is how I started going). The space is small, but the instructors make it work and the addition of the 8pm classes has been awesome for me- what a nice way to end the day!

I bought a groupon for Shiva Shanti. I really enjoy this yoga studio. I've seen complaints about the dog and I saw no problem with the dog. The cute puppy never barked and came to lick me once or twice but nothing too distracting (side note: this is coming from a cat lady). The reason I am rating 4 stars is because the earliest class is 9:30. Unfortunately the classes don't fit my schedule so this is biased. But, I would assume others would like a morning yoga class before work? Other than that, the instructors are knowledgeable, spiritual, and take this practice very serious!

I bought the Groupon here for an unlimited month of yoga for $29. I've only done one class so far, but I really enjoyed it. I thought the teacher was amazing, she was very knowledgeable, personable and created a great atmosphere in the studio. The studio is a bit small (about the size of a 1 bedroom apartment), but I liked the setup, and I felt very comfortable the second I walked in. I liked the fact that they have blankets and blocks for you to use. Make sure you bring your own mat as I believe they charge you to use their mats. I'm excited to try more classes, I'm not super into

Its been almost a year since i've been attending Shiva Shanti Yoga School and it has been my spiritual home. After an intense family tragedy (the death of my sister) and struggling with this for a year, i decided to honor her through something that has always felt grounding and connnected to my spirit, but was something i had strayed from for a few years.
I had studied various styles of yoga since 1995 including Iyengar, Hatha, Istha, a little Jivamukti and Birkram. But teachers come and go and locations change. When i started at Shiva Shanti it had been 3 years since my last yoga class

I have been attending Felise's yoga classes on and off now for about 8 years.Felise is such a passionate , caring individual and a great teacher. The classes were always a challenge ,and they should be,I felt great afterwards. She has gone past the norm for a yoga teacher . She is always thinking of creative ways to teach . I would highly recommend taking a class and experience the peace and relaxation that is offered.If you have any difficulty with any of the poses, she will guide you gently through them,or show you an alternate pose. I highly recommend

What can I say? I am really disappointed because when I started attending this studio over a year ago, it was a real tough time in my life and it was a place of comfort. A place of learning, good energy and well being. I was going through a lot of grief and this was my haven.
After waiting for things to get better, I am finally beginning the search for a new studio.
The first thing to happen was the sudden departure of some very amazing teachers. I can't say for sure why they decided to leave this studio, but they are dearly missed.
I paid for a package of 5 classes this past March, attended

I bought a groupon here for an unlimited month of yoga for $29. I went there every week about 4 times. They do offer a variety of classes and times, and most of the instructors are pretty good. However, the space itself is not that wonderful. I feel like the classes get overly packed. My friend also got her iphone stolen from the cubby there, so please be careful. I wouldnt say its a horrible place at all, but there are so many better places to experience hot yoga.
