My home away from home recently reopened up in Bloomfield: ZURA Blooms!! Right next to the parking…read moregarage by Foodtown. I used to attend hot/warm/non hot yoga & cardio sculpt classes with co-owner Rebecca Frezza and many other talented instructors pre-Covid.. Like so many, the community was heartbroken when they had to close up back in 2020, BUT: Rebecca, Ilene, Sabratha & Beth have teamed up to do the incredible: pivot and begin again. I cannot imagine the strength of character and creativity it takes to rebuild such a unique community, but these fantastic people are doing it! Alas after enduring incredibly, Zura Bloom reopened right by the Food Town near 6 Points. Their new space is a haven from the outside world: walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor to see that the walls are decorated with John Atura's original paintings, vaulted ceilings and bar studio mirrors and large windows that allow for streaming morning sunlight while maintaining the privacy of those in class. When I step inside the studio.. my mind is put at ease, and I feel welcome. I almost wish I could just hang out at the studio when working remotely just to enJoy the atmosphere some more. There are showers, bathrooms & lovely lavender oil infused towels in the mini fridge to cool down post class. The instructors genuinely care about the people that come to classes, and this is not the kind of place where you will accidentally get hurt doing something that's not right for your body, i.e. classes or "brands" that push you to the point of improper form. Zura welcomes all students of all ages and ability levels, and the instructors are knowledgeable about body mechanics, music and dance, teaching pedagogies and the various philosophies associated with different styles of yoga. I highly recommend any person in search of exercise, health or a bit of peace to attend. Some of my favorite classes are for mindfulness, building strength & excellent instrumental *music curation/choreography* are: - Rebecca's 2:30pm Sat. (Rhthym & Fire*) - Dante's anytime / any day ! (Fusion*) - John's 5pm Friday - Cassie's Hot 26 - Tabitha's* Hot 26 * Many classes (mainly Hot 26) are silent to help students focus, meditate & connect with their breathing, but a few classes use instrumental/percussion & light Sanskrit vocal based playlists that are extremely well paired to movements. I'm talking about musical selections that flow and transition through genres like tribal hand drums from around the world, classical & New Age Indian rāga, electronica from music producers like trip hop L.A. based DJ Bonobo, and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of double bassist and composer Garth Stevenson.* Favorite classes for soothing the body & developing better posture: - Ilene Sunday PM - Beth's early morning - BobbiJo's early morning Favorite classes for vigorous movement: - Rebecca A's Vinyasa - Jeffrey's Power Hour There are still a bunch of instructors that are new to me, and I haven't had the chance to take their classes yet, but I hope to soon!! So happy this studio has reopened in my own backyard. info@zurablooms.com Call: 973-531-6912 71 Washington Street Bloomfield, NJ 07003 https://zurablooms.com

Updating my review since the owner had a fair point that the class I did take was one that I would…read morenot have wanted to take but was requested by the birthday boy (look at previous review). If I'm basing this review purely on the studio and instructor comparative to other studios I have been to, I have to say it still does not meet the 5 star standard. I've been to a couple of yoga studios and unfortunately this place was not the best or the most amazing studio I have been too. The place was clean and did provide equipment which was definitely a plus and the yoga instructor was very sweet and took her time which was nice but the instructor was mainly on her own mat whereas other places the instructor would walk around and make sure everyone is doing well and help out. There were also other nice free benefits in other studios such as a hot/cool rag that's given after class that's infused with nice aromas- whereas this place (maybe it was just the private event I took) but just did the class and you left. I would say this is your standard local yoga studio where if this is the closest studio it works out but I wouldn't want to drive specifically FOR this studio. Hope this review clarified that my previous review wasn't just based off of how I feel towards restorative yoga but towards the actual studio/experience as well

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!
