What our clients are saying...
In General "It's the variety and quality... always a good class at Liv!"
“I’ve been a ‘gym’ person for several years but had always wanted to try yoga and pilates. I was a bit intimidated by the classes at the gym and I wasn’t sure it would be a good workout. I’m so glad I decided to take the Brand New Beginners class at LivYoga. I found it to be a great workout for the body and mind. It was a wonderful experience to learn in a very relaxed, intimate atmosphere. I am now a LivYoga member. I highly recommend the class.”
– Dr. Karyn G., West Orange, NJ
"The knowledge of the teachers at LivYoga is exceptional."
– Allison Ellner, Founder of Broadway Dance Center, NYC
I live in the Yoga Mecca of Montclair but I come in for LivYoga because I don't feel intimidated there."
– Jeff G., Attorney, Upper Montclair
“Robert Svoboda says ‘you know your yoga practice is working when there is peace in the household.’ In less than 5 minutes, I knew the yoga was ‘working’ at LivYoga where there is so much peace & shakti! From the first moments upon entering LivYoga’s sacred space, welcomed by radiant smiles of open-hearted students & teachers, to the harmonious closing Om of the Ayurvedic workshop we shared....we ALL knew the yoga was ‘working’ at LivYoga.
– Twee Merrigan, International Yoga instructor
“Yoga is an integral part of a treatment session with many of my patients. I often refer people to the studio as a continuation of their therapy program or in place of other exercise programs. At this point in my life, yoga is the only form of exercise that I do personally. My muscles, joints and posture reflect the benefit of my yoga practice! Yoga has something for everyone.” On the Yoga body: “With yoga, you don’t give up the posture, alignment, to bulk up and strengthen. Some people may have really strong abs but they may continue to live with pain or injury. Very often people shorten their muscles through exercises and forget that it is equally important to lengthen the muscles...5 or 10 minutes up front or at the end of a workout just isn’t enough.”

On our Group Classes & Teachers
“The energy mover - through his music, voice and clear focus, Carl is able to guide you into truly experiencing new openings and finding yourself able to enter poses from the heart. Usually very challenging classes.”
– Pam L., Bernardsville
“Debby’s class is mentally and physically challenging - learning how to breathe has changed my life. Her ‘pearls of wisdom’ and weekly quotations are very meaningful and make a great impact on my life!”
– Jill C., Short Hills
“John uses a balance of philosophy, posture, alignment and humor to create a supportive atmosphere where students get more out of their physical and spiritual practice. All are encouraged to challenge themselves in postures using the Anusara principles, resulting in a new awareness and joy of the practice.”
– Jen S, West Orange
“I enjoy Liz I.’s classes because she has a very calming air about her. I like that we hold our poses just a bit longer in her class to really feel that deep stretch. I also look forward to the lovely massage during relaxation.”
– Dr. Karyn G., West Orange
“Meet the marvelous, Tuesday night class: teachers; physicians; executives; a bicycling enthusiast and others. We meet, humble, grateful and connected, in the present as Lynda, our teacher, leads the way...visitors are warmly welcomed and soon become a part of this unique, communal groove. We gather together to sit, smile, share, stretch, strive, sweat and savor the rest pose. More than anything, we laugh!”
– Christina H., Verona
“I love the Gentle Yoga with Mila. It is so peaceful and makes me feel less stressed. The Gentle Yoga stretches every muscle in your body. I feel much lighter after class.”
– Barbara B., West Orange
“Sarah R.’s unique style and combination poses drives each of her students to push beyond what they thought their limits were. You always leave her class with a feeling of triumph. Her creative motivation stretches both body and spirit. I think she stays up at night thinking of creative poses. It’s so great to have teachers that LOVE their jobs!
– Beth L., Short Hills

On our Teacher Training Program
“I loved seeing the different styles of yoga and the different classes that each person came up with. This has been such a wonderful learning experience. I feel that I have learned so much since the first weekend we started! Yoga has become such an important part of my life as well as a life changing experience."
-Sheryl H., Montville
"I had been debating for a long time about taking this course and am so glad I decided to go for it this year! The instructors were all so wonderful, each so different from the other. It was great to get so many perspectives. As for my fellow trainees, wow! What a terrific group to be with! We all have different backgrounds, styles & strengths but blend really well when working together. I look forward with enthusiasm to taking everyone’s community class, as well as teaching my own. I entered into this course not being sure if I wanted to teach or just expand my knowledge. The amazing experiences I have had during this teacher training have helped convince me that I was meant to teach yoga. There is nothing I would like to do more than share this gift with others."
-Nancy S., West Orange
On our Prenatal Classes
“I can’t express how much I enjoyed prenatal yoga. I looked forward to each and every one of the classes. At the end of each class I felt relaxed, better prepared for labor and also better connected to myself. I think it is one of the main reasons my pregnancy and delivery went so smoothly. Another important part was the atmosphere. I would step into the class room and immediately feel relaxed and cozy. Also, being surrounded by a group of pregnant women made me feel that I wasn't alone in the process.”
