I found Ashtanga Yoga many years ago but it was not until I found AYM and Deb that the I truly started practicing Ashtanga. What truly sets this yoga studio apart is Deb’s unwavering dedication to her students' well-being. She takes the time to understand each individual's needs and provide personalized guidance and adjustments. I always feel supported and encouraged to explore my practice further.For those who are ready to show up on the mat and commit to the practice of Ashtanga yoga, I cannot recommend AYM highly enough. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, you'll find immense value in the expert instruction, supportive atmosphere, and transformative experience provided by this exceptional teacher. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a nurturing and inspiring yoga community.

I started practicing Ashtanga in 2019 and felt very stuck in 2021 where I didn't feel like I was improving in my practice. I emailed Deb about taking classes and she was very supportive and encouraging. I've been attending Mysore classes twice a week and the improvement has been substantial. I'm now working on intermediate series and I couldn't do half the stuff I can now without her help. I trust her opinion and her recommendations and I appreciate the way she pushes me to do my best but knows when to back off if I'm not ready. I've been practicing at the studio for over a year now and I am a completely different person than when I started. She has been an absolute light in my life and I'm so grateful to have met her. I hope to practice with Deb for as long as possible!I also love the community here. People are so motivated to do what they love and push themselves to be better. Ashtanga isn't for everyone, it's very repetitive and does not fit certain personality types who want the "flow" type yoga.

Folks who are leaving negative reviews have not even taken a class and have not experienced the energy of the shala. What a shame for them!

Fantastic spot to practice yoga. They adapt for my limitations and balance it with the right amount of push to get me reaching for the next level. The stretches have helped me recover and progress beyond some chronic pain, physically and spiritually. Clean and bright shala with space to change and shower, if needed.

The owner, Deb, is rude and unprofessional over the phone! Definitely not going back. She was very short and made it obvious she didn't want to answer my questions about a new style of yoga for me.

I have been taking virtual classes with Deb for about two weeks now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and she is a phenomenal instructor. I recently started an Ashtanga practice, and she is working with us to provide us with the basics and commit the primary series to memory.

Great energy and people in this class. I went to a different kundalini class and it was no where as great as this place is. I always feel energized after a session.

Excellent studio. Deb is supportive, knowledgeable and committed and gives so much to all of her students. The community is wonderful. The studio itself is small but clean and well laid out. This practice has added so much to my life. I was shocked to see any negative reviews for such an amazing place. I am so happy this place exists!

Amazing energy with an amazing community. There is true devotion and passion at this Shala. This is the place to go to learn the traditional Ashtanga method in NJ.
