The best Pilates studio in northern NJ! I decided to check this place out because it looked super…read morecool. Getting there, I was able to find street parking right in front of the studio. There is also parking across the street. First off, the girl checking me in was incredibly kind and friendly. There are cubbies to put your stuff in as soon as you enter the space. They have a little spot to hand out in around the room that looks super cozy with plenty of yoga books to browse. There is coffee and water for purchase on the side. Yelp bestie Bea and I took the Thursday 7:300pm Hot HIIT Pilates fusion class. You are required to bring your own mat or rent one for $2. You can go barefoot or use Pilates socks. The Pilates room with the projector is very cool and relaxing. I have never been to a studio like this. As for the class: Right off the bat, the warms ups had my arms sore! We later moved into stretches and using the weighted balls to do the various exercises. The instructor is great- she kept the energy up and challenged us in a great way! We did everything from core, legs, glutes, biceps, triceps. I enjoyed the full body workout. We received lavender cooling towels in the end which I loved! I will definitely be coming back!

I really love this studio and consider it one of my safe places. Everyone is incredibly nice, the…read moreteachers are wonderful, the studio feels clean and peaceful, the scenery is beautiful, and I love how close it is to home. Yoga here has genuinely become something I look forward to. That said, for a membership that is around $200/month, I really wish a few basic amenities were included. There's no shower, water cooler/refill station, or even small touches like a small dry, absorbent sweat towels to use during class, so I always have to make sure I bring enough water from home. With Lifetime right around the corner offering many classes including hot yoga along with amenities like towels, water refill stations, saunas, and showers etc for a comparable monthly cost, it does make me reconsider the value of my membership here. I'm sharing this because I genuinely want to stay! If the studio added even a few of these small amenities-especially a water refill station/ small towel-it would make a huge difference. I could honestly see myself being a member for years. I hope the studio takes this feedback into consideration because otherwise I absolutely love being here.

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

I had a number of amazing energy healing sessions with Linda that helped me to process concerns in…read morean intuitive and empathetic way. Together we went through some of my feeling-thinking-response patterns. These were ingrained from long ago and no longer had any relevance to my current life but were holding me back. Linda helped release these restrictive obstructions and integrate a more beneficial pattern of well-being and self-acceptance. I'm in the midst of my doctoral studies and worked hard on an evidence-based practice implementation which my raters found too technical. I knew I had to start from scratch and was very concerned about what project I should focus on for the remainder of my program. After working with Linda, it was as if I was sinking baskets and scoring points daily. Not only because my aim was better but because the basket was actually edging closer to help me score. Things that would otherwise have pulled me off course, fell away. I have so many examples of this occurring and will mention two of the more notable instances. Years ago, I'd missed an opportunity to be inducted to an international honor society. The paperwork was time-sensitive and the opportunity had passed, by the time I recovered from an accident. I was invited again this semester but the university changed its email servers and the message got stuck, hidden in a junk file. A colleague who had also been invited, reached out to me suggesting I check through my mail. One week prior to the induction ceremony, I found the message and documents to be completed. Surprisingly, I received all of the necessary letters of recommendation from my references the very next day after I requested them. One dean actually showed up in my office to hand-deliver her recommendation to me. That new topic that I needed for my studies, which I was sweating over? Not only did one fall into my lap at my office, 10K to fund the research was granted from a health philanthropy. The primary investigator moved state before the start and the grant writer reached out for my expertise to coordinate data collection and analysis. The rater that frowned down my previous topic, graded me A's on my assignments and took part in the photo op at the honor society with me, the dean and my other inductee colleague. I'm busy doing a great deal of work on that project now with a small team to bounce ideas off of and help with tasks I don't have the bandwidth to take on. If you're looking for a gentle way to align your personal power to meet your desired goals, call Linda. She meets you where you are. Speaking with Linda is like having a friend who has known you all your life. I cannot recommend her enough. She just gets you and gets you more conscious of how you can converse with your body, soul and the energy surrounding us all. Linda guides you to empower your development and make the progress you're looking for. Thank you, Linda!

Best decision I've made in the past year was joining Blackbird as a monthly member. The staff are…read moreall extremely friendly. They have a variety of classes for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, and at every class I go to they offer modifications or add-ons to poses so that you can really adjust to what your body needs that day. The studio is incredibly clean and beautifully maintained. Walking into the studio puts me at ease immediately. There are also zero judgments at Blackbird. At other studios I felt judged if I couldn't go into a headstand or some other inversion, and there is none of that at Blackbird. It is an encouraging environment, which is so perfect for yoga. The studio also offers workshops outside of the regular classes if you want to delve into your practice a little deeper. Another thing I noticed is how at every class, even if it is the same type of class, it is never exactly the same. There is always variety. I've been practicing yoga for two years now and in the few months that I started at Blackbird I saw a noticeable improvement in my practice. There are poses that I thought I would never be able to do or hold for more than a breath that I now do with ease. It's really amazing. Another great thing about Blackbird, especially for NYC commuters like myself, is that they have evening classes! I'm able to go to work, get home and not have to rush like a crazy person to get to class on time. It's rad. For everything that Blackbird offers, the price is amazing too. Before coming to Blackbird I was hopping around at different studios, trying to find the best fit for me. I had been trying for two years to find a 'home studio'. I knew two minutes into my first class at Blackbird that I found that studio. The classes satisfy both the physical and mental aspects of yoga, the community of staff and other practitioners are some of the nicest people you will meet, and membership doesn't break the bank. What more could you ask for?
