I've been a student at yoga synthesis for just shy of a year, and I'm incredibly grateful I came…read moreacross this gem. I only wish I found it sooner. I haven't had the pleasure of taking class with every teacher who works at both this location and the Chestnut Ridge location, but the instructors that I have taken (Judy, Alane, Lisa, Rose, Tenley, Trish, Kelly S.) are lovely individuals, and incredibly knowledgeable. The latter is evident in not only the way they guide you, but the way they can move their bodies. It's so inspirational. I'm sure the rest of the teachers are no different. Recently they've decided to add a Pilates class, taught by the fabulous Ms. Anjali and I couldn't be happier! While this is a yoga studio, I think it was such a phenomenal idea to introduce Pilates into the weekly schedule. I'm crossing my fingers that in the near future I'll see this class offered more than once a week!

I love this studio. It's clean and their approach to yoga is wonderful: serious about yoga but also…read moreextremely down to earth, friendly, and helpful. I've taken classes with Kip, Kelly S., Kelly C., Anjali, Sonia, Judy, Matt, and Lisa and even though their styles are all COMPLETELY different, I loved every class in a different way. Your first class is free so you can try it out without having to pay. Most of the classes are 90 minutes but some are only an hour if you're looking for something shorter. Single classes are $18 each but if you purchase packages online, you save 5%. In addition, they also offer student/senior deals on TOP of that so it truly pays to book online! My 6-class package came out to $68. My only complaint is that on hot days, it gets HOT in there. I've done hot yoga before, but this is a little different: it's just stuffy, humid, and uncomfortable. I'm not sure if they don't have A/C or just choose not to use it but if you're planning on going in the summer, dress lightly and bring a headband and towel. The Ramsey location has an overhead fan. They also have a brand new GORGEOUS location in Chestnut Ridge, although the air situation is comparable (and no overhead fan). It's also next door to a coffee shop and the walls are VERY thin, however, the coffee is great!

I most recently tried the organic spray tan and I'm obsessed!!! I have red hair with white as snow skin. So I've always feared spray tans, I thought I would turn orange.

I've lived in Rutherford for 4yrs now and my biggest regret was not coming to Shiva Shanti sooner…read more 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 I've yet to have a negative experience with any of them. I've had class (please note I've only taken beginner and restorative classes) with Niomi, Mary, Sarah, Jordan, Rob, Kristy and Theresa and they are all phenomenal! All of them are knowledgeable, and caring; paying close attention to their students to ensure they are flowing properly. Each ask about injuries to ensure they can assist you in modifying poses so you don't injure yourself further. The space is not big but its never been so overcrowded that I felt uncomfortable. Both, Mary and Felise have dogs - Pipa and Buddha. The dogs are very small and extremely friendly. I personally enjoy their company and haven't had any negative experiences with them. They are adorable and I feel they bring a healing vibe to the class. Finally, I would suggest you take the negative reviews with a grain of salt and come to Shiva Shanti and experience it for yourself. If you don't like it, then you don't have to come back, but if your experience is anything like mine, you won't ever want to leave! Namaste ‍

Purchased a Groupon for this studio yesterday and had my first class at 9:30 am today with Iwona…read more 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 of street parking outside the studio as well. I'm hoping to stick to my daily practice and hope all of the other instructors are as great as Iwona!

She takes her time with you and explains each move and how it helps your organs and or limbs. She starts her classes by asking you what's bothering you so you can work on it for that session. It doesn't matter if its physical or mental. She knows the moves for everything. :) I've been taking her group classes for a little over a year now and although my schedule only permits Saturday's I look forward to my weekly session. Her voice is angelic and she moves like an Angel. What I love the most is, I can come to Sally stressed and leave her Studio feeling like I'm floating on air smiling like the Joker from Batman. (Lol) Thanks Sally

This studio is quite a find and I feel so fortunate to have Adela as my yoga instructor. I take…read morebeginner yoga with her. I've done yoga only a handful of times in a class and I've mostly followed along with yoga videos on YouTube. I wanted to learn proper yoga poses, not just go through the motion. So I searched and tried a few studios, Life's Tread Yoga was exactly what I was looking for. Adela explains each pose so well. Even what appears to be a simple pose, she will explain and make sure that you do it correctly. If you want a teacher who will give you individual attention, adjust your pose as needed, and also work with your limitations, you must check out her class. She uses many props so most poses are very accessible even for a stiff and inflexible person like me! As I get older, I worry about injuries from exercise but with Adela, I have complete trust in her. I don't hesitate to push myself because I know she knows what I can handle. And she really knows her anatomy. She used to train professional football players! But most of all, you'll love her positive, patient, and gentle energy. Her studio is in an adorable butter yellow house and there's no sign. Use the back door to enter the studio.
