Took an outside class at the Wellmont and it was exactly what my body and soul needed. I'll definitely return. It was the perfect balance of physical exertion and internal reflection. read more

I discovered Yoga Mechanics through an outdoor yoga session held in Montclair. The studio in Montclair is serene, peaceful and welcoming. The instructors are warm and friendly. I've gone to class and been treated with wine, cheese and good conversation from other classmates. I can tell they have built a community. Yoga classes at YM are held at all levels with options 'in person' and virtual. My favorite classes are Restorative and Basic. The teachers speak with soothing tones that set the mood for a relaxing yet challenging class. Classes are opened with announcements and opening statements that allow you to settle in and ground yourself. I love the integration of props that enhance your yoga experience. The provided bolsters, straps, blankets, blocks and artificial candles allow you to not be overly concerned about what to bring to class. You only need your mat and a open mind. read more

I had been struggling with vertigo for 2 months and finally landed in Becky's chair class. What a great experience to deepen my stretch and my practice. Who knew this would be a life changing experience? Chair is great for everyone who has an injury or simply wants to experience more depth and mobility while feeling safe. I will use these postures while sitting at my desk all week long. Thank you Becky and Yoga Mechanics for constantly keeping me strong and flexible in my life especially as I age gracefully through my yoga practice. read more

I have been coming here for at least fifteen years.Excellent instructors and you definitely feel a sense of community here. There is a class for everyone at whatever level they are at in yoga. Each instructor is willing to help you achieve all you goals. A great place to practice yoga read more

I have been going to Yoga Mechanics for their Prenatal yoga class series and it has become one of the best parts of my week that has become a necessary part of my pregnancy journey. The classes with Brandi are small and intimate, she takes time to understand how you are doing each week and tailors the class to your needs. They make sure to offer all the props needed for us to practice safely taking into account all pregnancy mobility limitations. I am so grateful to have them for my pregnancy journey and beyond! read more

This was one of the first studios that I visited when I started yoga. I really enjoyed the detailed ques for poses and their focus on anatomical alignment. The clear guidance really helped me to be aware of my form and be intentional with my movement. It's such a great studio to deepen your yoga practice. read more

Love this place. It has such a nice vibe and is absolutely beautiful inside. You leave feeling better than when you came it. The location in Montclair is spectacular. read more

I have been taking classes with them on line and just got to go to on in person. the teachers are excellent very knowledgeable and can work in both formats. The studio is very attractive and welcoming. when I took the in person class last week I got to use the new infrared sauna. it was great, very relaxing. a great addition to the studio. read more

I just love this yoga studio. I feel so welcome here. The staff and teachers are welcoming and friendly. On top of trying out different classes, my husband and I did a partner workshop. It was sooooooo fun. Love this staple of the community. Looking forward to the next time I can make it to Annette's restorative classes and Julissa's movement yoga. read more

As a dude who isn't a "practitioner" of yoga, my wife asked me to attend a workshop with her. We, honestly, had such a fun time. The instructor made the material easy for me to understand . She payed attention and helped me not feel left out. I'm happy we had this afternoon together. Looking forward to other events we can do together. read more

This crunch is awesome. Good weights. Good people. Good time. I love the parking as well.

I absolutely love this place. Today was my first day ever attending a yoga class in my life! Joe was the instructor and he was absolutely amazeballs! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and felt much more comfortable doing yoga than I ever did in any fitness gym. I like the peaceful serene environment and the pleasant energy everyone brings. I'm not extremely out of shape, but I'm not in the best shape either, this class/yoga center was very comforting for people who may not be able to make certain movements or hold certain poses. It made me think and then it made me feel. I liked that. I signed up for the new student promotion of $75 for unlimited classes in the first month. And each month after that is $125. I like that this Yoga center has day hours, so while my kids are in daycare and camp I can attend. read more

This particular yoga studio offers evening classes and weekends I was very surprised to find that they don't have a 9 AM class unless I was mistaken I only came here for one class as I am trying to find a good studio to become a member at I am more into bar three and I haven't checked out the one in Livingston but my neighbor does come to this particular yoga studio in the evenings It's very typical and you bring your own mat read more

Yaaaaaas queen. Maybe it was the rush of a week spent housewifing, or perhaps the slightly higher than normal amnt of caffeine I had consumed that AM in preparation for the struggle that is trying to study for the boards while really just wanting to play w Leo, the goldendoodle of my dreams, but I knew it was going to be a solid excursion when, upon opening the door to T's Prius (obviously), Leanne Rimes' circa 2000 hit, "Can't Fight the Moonlight" immediately came blasting out- so, in short, even prior to rolling up to YM, I was totally vibing on this day hard. Honestly, even taking into account the fact that I was mildly high on life, this is one of the best yoga classes I've ever taken - yes, there was a little too much of the standard suburbanites chanting "om" at the beginning for my taste, but once we got into the meat of the class, it was strictly a NFA zone - as you might expect, at a noon class on a Friday, crowd skews women who lunch in their Lulu, but ability level (and body type) varies - all are welcome, though some of the poses were quite tough, causing even my relatively toned derriere to quiver w fatigue. Only gripe is that they don't have towels, so if you have a yogitoes, bring that or be prepared to slip a bit as it gets a bit warm in the studio. Don't come expecting vinyasa flow set to a background of top 40s - it's just you, the instructor, and 15-30 of your pals sweating it out for an hour fifteen. Class is conversational and interactive - it was clear that our instructor (Ommi) has a following and that her regulars come to not only be physically challenged, but also, judging by the way they tittered w delight at her every word, b/c they clearly secretly have hetero-lady crushes on her and find her charming, even as she is a total drill sargeant, proving that love, at times, is confusing and contradictory. Single class is $20, first month intro is $54, and packages are available - so in short, yoga in the burbs remains not a poor man's sport, but if you can swing it and are looking to get your downward dog on, it's a killer strength building, a shockingly friendly community, and a beautiful industrial-chic space. Well worth it. read more

I love the vibe of this studio. The space is absolutely gorgeous and they have a great variety of classes, levels and teachers. The studio space is large and well-lit, with tons of huge windows that let loads of beautiful sunlight in. They have a thoughtful shrine set up at the front of the studio, and the space is clean with plenty of props for use by clients. The lobby is gorgeous, too; it has a nice variety of merchandise for purchase, and the whole space is well designed. Since this is not a hot studio, they don't offer bathrooms with showers. They do, however, offer free water refills at their filtered water station. My one complaint about the space is that the studio has no door, which I thought was cool at first. I felt there was a nice flow of energy between the two spaces that was further facilitated by a giant mirror... But then, the phone rang. Loudly. And I heard the person working the reception desk run outside to talk to whoever was on the phone. And that kinda messed with my zen a little. If it wasn't for that, I would give this place five stars... I actually feel kinda bad deducting one whole star for that... If I could, I'd give this studio 4.75 stars. read more

I heart Joe-ga at Yoga Mandali Montclair :) Seriously, Joe Gandarillas' class is always the best. Joe has a great way of balancing his personal style with the Anusara standards and delivers a great class every time. He typically opens class with a lovely story or theme to think about and reflect about during the practice. The practice itself is usually challenging but not insane, and he will vary the level or types of poses based on who is attending (he knows his students well but also asks if they have any requests). I always feel better, inside and out, after a good dose of Joe-ga. I live in San Francisco but rarely, if ever, go to a class there at the moment. So Joe is MY yoga teacher for now...even if he is 3k miles away! read more

Did yoga here for a few years, on and off. Consistently great classes. You get a lot of feedback and interaction here unlike those giant yoga classes at the big gyms where you do not get any attention and are not getting the most out of your poses/practice. Joe Gandarillas was my personal favorite even though I took some of the other classes and the instructors were also good. Joe is incredibly sweet, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable!! I've tried other places and no one ever came close. He'd start the class with some sort of pep talk (often involving stories from his own life) relating the practice to the hectic lifestyle we all live, or being thankful for the good things in our lives, etc. Basically he made the yoga practice not only a physical experience but also a spiritual and cognitive experience. He switched up the workout each class, offered pose options for different skill levels within a skill level (e.g. if you are not ready to go up in a handstand) although he'd certainly gently push you to try a challenging pose if it was just a mental block preventing you. He walked around the class and gently adjusted people that were incorrectly doing a pose or to show you how to maximize the pose's potential. All with a smile! Love you Joe!! Felt amazing after each class. I miss this place very much (I am too far to go back now). read more

Love the many teachers at Yoga Montclair. Specifically, the prenatal class that Omni teaches is amazing. She is a really gifted teacher, and has a wonderful way of relating to her students. The yoga is appropriate for first-timers, but also challenging for any expecting mother - yogi or not. I've enjoyed the other teachers as well, although I fully realize Anusara might not be for everyone. However, every teacher I have met at Yoga Montclair is well trained, thoughtful in their instruction, yet relatable in their demeanor. Definitely glad to have found my yoga "home" in Montclair! read more

Love this studio! I moved to Montclair two months ago, silly as it may sound finding a new studio I loved as much as my old one was a huge concern. I tried a number of places in the area (there are SO many) but they just didn't feel "right". Until I found Yoga Montclair (now Yoga Mechanics). The space is beautiful, the teachers are knowledgeable all with their own flare and everyone is kind. This place offers real quality yoga rooted in proper alignment, spirituality and mindfulness. Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

Yoga Montclair is simply fantastic. I just recently started doing yoga and their Basic class is perfect for beginners who want to correctly learn and understand the yoga positions. The Level I and Open classes are also viable options for relative newcomers. Yoga Montclair is the most accessible yoga studio with a wide-range of classes each day that can fit your needs and schedule. Each teacher that I have had has been wonderful and really knows how to lead a yoga class to perfection. The studio itself has a great feel. They combine their experience and professionalism with a casual, open approach to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. read more

The best yoga ever. Made me fall in love with yoga, get addicted to meditation. Each Monday night, the class taught by Joe at 6pm centers me. Makes me want to start the week all fresh and rejuvenated. Best people ever. read more

Beautiful studio! Great vinyasa classes. I've attended classes at lot of random yoga studio in the area, but this is one of the better studios I've been to. Parking is easy. read more

This is my first time in a yoga studio, so I really don't have much to compare it to. What I do know is that it has a great open space which gives you enough room to move freely. The staff is amazing; they make sure you feel welcome and comfortable with your new surroundings. The instructors (my favorite is Hillary) takes the time to explain the moves and will help adjust you if you need proper alignment. I think I am hooked! read more

A very welcoming environment and amazing space. I travel quite a bit for work and have been both surprised and disappointed by studios throughout the country. This studio definitely gets a thumbs-up...even from an LA native. The classes are mainly Anusara-based, so handstand is a possibility even if its your first class. This studio is frequented by amazing teachers such as Noah Maze & Naime Jezzeny read more

I had an issue with my classes getting erased in their system so I could not book my classes online. I called several times and asked what I could do since I had pre paid over $40 for these 2 classes. The girl said to me that the manager said Id get two classes added if I bought a 5 or 10 class pack. Well this was definitely not what I wanted to do. I had been doing kundalini meditative yoga and just wanted to give Yoga Montclair (or Yoga Mechanics whatever they're going by) another shot. Guess I'm not going to. read more

I travel a lot for work, and therefore, take classes at a lot of different studios. I LOVED my class here! I felt nurtured, challenged, and comfortable all at the same time. Definitely worth the price per class. read more

I attended some classes here last year and must say every teacher i had was so awesome i really enjoyed it and plan on returning.Go Hillary she was the one that got me started and inspired me to start classes.Starbucks before class. read more

After recently moving to the area I purchased a new student monthly pass and went to the 1130 Sunday class. I really loved it. The teacher was clearly very experienced, funny and focused on alignment in a really interesting way. She explained chaturanga in a way that helped me understand it better than I ever have in over 10 years of taking classes. To top it off, after my schedule got crazy and I was able to attend only one class on the pass, the studio reached out to make sure I had been happy with the experience and even offered to extend my monthly pass after I explained my schedule hadn't allowed me to attend. I've found my yoga studio! read more

If you're looking for a great cozy place to relax, meditate and forget about all the problems life has to throw at you. This is the place. Whether or not you have experience doing yoga. The instructors are right there to guide you and not make you feel left out. You will leave a new person both mentally and physically. My wife introduced me to Yoga Montclair. Thank u Dez. Always know how to make me feel better:) read more

After another effort at reconciliation, years after the fact, YM did provide me a refund of my money. Thanks! YM

I'm not sure if I need to review this place since I'm going along with everyone else and giving it 5 stars, so I'll keep this short. Only been to a few classes, but they're fantastic. read more

I love Yoga Montclair. The atmosphere is great, the people are friendly and the teachers are knowledgable.
