I’ve been coming to Yoga Essence for almost two years now. I started as a student and am now taking their Yoga Teacher training. I’m so amazed by how great the teachers are here. Nicole and Chelsea are wonderful and it’s been so amazing. Taking my teacher training with Chris and Nicole. I love this community and I highly recommend starting your yoga journey here.

There is something for everyone here. They offer many types of yoga and have a variety of instructors who each offer something different. I have not found a class I didn’t like. Hot yoga, aerial yoga, sound baths, yin and more. I would highly recommend giving the 2 week intro a shot because you will be hooked!

I love all hot yoga classes at Yes Dunellen; the time of class is great to start your day 5:30 am; I enjoy my “me” time. Feel the heat in your body and work out all the poses. The place is very clean and love the final touch of cold towel used and placed in your forehead!
Thank you Denise, for this morning class!

Lana is an amazing and talented teacher and Yogi. I always love her Aerial classes. I love the mix of the more challenging poses with the restorative poses, combined with her wisdom and knowledge of authentic Yoga, which she weaves throughout the class along with her guided meditation during Savasana. She is very nurturing and attentive to all students and always offers assistance to properly and safely get into or out of a pose. She is very motivating, gives you self-confidence, provides positive feedback, gives clear guidance and allows you to go at your own pace as needed. She is also open and accommodating to teach you new things if you ask or spend some extra time with you at the end if time allows. She also has a beautiful voice for the ending of class.

Highly recommend her class and this studio!! All the teachers are phenomenonal and have their own unique personalities and style and are supportive and down to earth. I always learn something new and always leave there feeling lighter. It has helped me in many ways outside of Yoga class. 🧘🏽‍♀️ 🙏🏽✨️

I am so glad that I signed up for yoga classes here. I needed to take care of me. Yoga helps me get through my day/week. I am a caretaker of a few family members. I especially love my classes with Mandy. Find some time for yourself to find some peace and great strength in this complicated world.

Yoga Essence Studio @Dunellen New Jersey stands out as one of the premier destinations in the USA for embracing the yoga lifestyle. I discovered that the instructors at Yoga Essence are exceptionally skilled, employing personalized techniques to enhance each individual's practice. The studio's management has fostered a sense of family and excellence, creating a thriving community of yogis. My experience during the aerial yoga training course was exceptional, largely due to the guidance of my coach, Lana Rahal. Lana's compassionate approach made challenging tasks feel achievable, and her dedication helped me grasp aerial yoga techniques with ease. I am grateful for her support and the welcoming atmosphere at Yoga Essence Studio, which has truly enriched my yoga journey.

I'm happily coming up on 2 years of membership at Yoga Essence of Dunellen. I've very satisfied with many aspects of the studio. The studio is very clean, comfortable, and I appreciate the variety of classes offered. I'm also convinced they only hire the best instructors!! Everyone is so knowledgable, kind, and has their own style of teaching. I appreciate how during my time here, I've witnessed consistent improvements whether it be decor and ambiance of the space, new props and heaters, improving the app experience, or special fun events and challenges. YES stays innovative and creative. It keeps me engaged with my personal practice and keeps me coming back to the studio!

I began yoga thinking it would just be something I had to do but wouldn’t enjoy to prevent injuries while running and weight training. I was very wrong, I fell in love with practicing yoga and Yoga Essence from the first class.

The instructors are all very welcoming, supportive and helpful. Same for the owners of the studio as well. Each instructor has their own personality and it reflects in their classes so you’re never bored. Even with me being directionally challenged, the instructors never get annoyed and are always happy to assist.

I’m very excited to begin and continue my yoga journey at Yoga Essence.

Drove 30 minutes to try this studio out. A week prior they changed the schedule and waited for ALL students to show up. So I waited 10 min for class to start. I showed up to the class 3 min late this time. Not only was I not let in, but also charged $16 for “missing” a free class that they didn’t let me participate in. Owner was speaking so nicely to the other person who was also maybe a minute late and I believe refunded him, but not me. I guess this is what happens when you white wash such a sacred and religious practice such as yoga and just try to make profits. Really never been treated like this at any other studio or as a customer before.

WDIT: yoga is a religious practice :) google it. and they refunded me AFTER I wrote this review. I wouldn’t change my review or recommend this studio to anyone.

This facility has a lot to offer but the space should be capped off. The room is small and if you like being on top of each other, this is the studio for you.
Edit: they put tape on the floor to direct where the yogees can sit. Perfect solution!

I have truly been able to tap into myself thanks to the classes. That may sound off, but it takes a new level of peace to melt into yourself and just…be (even if only for an hour). Thank you yoga essence for helping me achieve this!

I absolutely love the Dunellen studio. From HIIT, Aerial to Sunday's Relax and Restore classes. If your work week gets too busy to make it to a class then I highly recommend to at the MINIMUM attend Sunday's 4pm Relax and Restore class. It's so relaxing and the gentle aromatic touch of the instructors assisting (if you choose) you through certain poses adding a soft massage is just the icing on the cake! Thank you all for guiding us in our practice! ~ Wendy
