Carmen is an excellent yoga instructor she is very spiritual and intuitive. Carmen explains poses and helps when you need it, and challenges you when she feels you need that as well. Love the new studio.

Am very happy with the special needs classes. My brother has been going for over a year now and he has made progress and he’s more confident and he loves it.
I also love the Sunday night yin class, very peaceful, reflective and calming.

This is not your average yoga studio. It is an incredibly special place to come to relax and recharge. The owner Carmen provides private and group special needs classes for all ages in addition to her daily regular classes. She is an approved DDD vendor for young adults 21+ (if you know, you know).

My son and many of his friends take the special needs classes but they are always welcome in the general classes too. My adult son was welcomed in the Friday night Happy Hour class for the past 2 years in addition to taking his private individual classes.

This is a gorgeous, quiet sanctuary next to Ono Bowls in Westfield NJ. After class it's great to gather and have a fresh made smoothie or bowl without going outside to another place. I HIGHLY recommend Brassy Buddha Yoga

Never thought I would love Hot yoga, especially in the heat of the summer, but Carmen is so zen and the heat allows you to stretch and thrive in each class. Give it a try and you’ll be hooked too!

Brassy Buddha is such a special place.
Carmen is an incredible owner who loves what she does and wants to make sure that you get the right experience. She has a special needs yoga class that I bring my brother to. It's been so helpful to him and a great way to come together with people of all needs. The space is so cute and inside ono bowls.
I would recommend to anyone looking for a good workout as well- I tried hot yoga for the first time and loved it!

I’ve been coming to Brassy Buddha for about 4 months now and it is an amazing yoga experience. Physically I feel amazing , the classes are resets for me and my mind . Carmen is amazing, she really makes her space feel like home for you and she is so welcoming . I’ve never felt uncomfortable or nervous about where I stand in my yoga journey when I’m there . I am so happy I’ve found this place!

I’ve only taken a couple of classes at Brassy Buddha, but I’m already eager to return! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, Carmen is knowledgeable, attentive, and so positive.

As a physical therapist, I really appreciate the focus on proper alignment and mindful movement. The classes are thoughtfully designed and Carmen wants to help students deepen their practice, which I find incredibly valuable.

Whether you’re new to yoga or looking to enhance your current routine, I highly recommend this studio. I’m excited to make it a regular part of my schedule!

Sunday Yin w/ Carmen: I love this class, and I mean that with my entire heart. Carmen's yin class was the very thing that pulled me into yoga AND this community in 2022.
The ambiance is always beautiful: the lighting, the studio itself, the class setup, the aroma, the music especially, and her words. My body becomes so relaxed, and I am able to *fully* unwind, as well as release emotions in the comfiest & safest space. It is a blessing in my life.
What makes this class is Carmen's knowledge--it's interwoven into her words, and it's an experience that is entirely unique to her & is beautiful. 10/10 would recommend (and bring a friend! Or a loved one!)

I do not recommend you even attempt to book a class the attitude the owner has is terrible. I booked a beginners class and woke up to not only a horrible rainy day but my car being broke down messing up my children getting to school. I called the place as early as I could and left a message only to receive a scolding message from the owner because I didn’t call sooner? Ma’am I’m calling to reschedule a $40 class I could easily call my card and cancel but decided to give this place a try. She first told me I couldn’t reschedule unless it was an emergency which I assured her it was then she went on to say that if I would be “truthful with her next time” I said ma’am I can send you the shops receipt of what’s happening and then she said no that’s fine that “she trusted me.” I said, no, ma’am you don’t have to trust me because you clearly just made that statement about lying. When you don’t even know me, this ladies attitude was worse than the day I just had and honestly at this point, I’d rather lose my money and she can lose a customer. I hope this message helps anybody else that’s looking for a place with an owner that has a better attitude to new customers.

Carmen is absolutely incredible. Her studio is such an experience, like you’re walking into a speakeasy. Walk through Ono Bowls to the infrared heated studio with high ceils with chandelier fans, full Buddha mural wall and mirrors to check your posture.
Her voice is calming, the movement is activating and you will leave feeling renewed. Her workshops are fresh, she has wellness Wednesdays with private massage sessions by CitiZEN Mobile Massage. Her most recent event, Self-Cae Social included an outdoor wellness market on Quimby St with next level classes inside the studio.
I am most excited for her Farm Yoga FEST this fall. Animals and yoga sign me up.

I would give Brassy Buddha, Carmen, Maggie, Antonia, Melissa, Gail, Alexa, and all of the instructors here 10 out 5 stars if I could. Each flow is so unique and well thought out. Honestly I have never been to such creative yoga classes before and I never know what to expect. The instructors are so sweet and it’s almost as if they’re mind readers. They always gives my mind, body, and soul what I need most every time. Thank you all for doing what you do!

This review is for Miss Carmen and her yoga instruction specific to kids. We've taken various classes with Miss Carmen from story-time yoga to Forest Fairy yoga and we've always had a fun and positive experience. Miss Carmen is wonderful with children of all ages and also lovely with adults :) She is super engaging with the kids and a great communicator. Cannot think of a better children's experience!

Family yoga at Brassy Buddha was such a cute and engaging class for my 4 year old! Carmen really brought her out of her shell and engaged her in breathing, poses, stories, positive affirmations, and dancing. Such a lovely way to spend a Saturday with little ones! Highly recommend :)

Since I started coming here, I am stronger, have a slower heart rate, and am much more flexible (which are all wonderful benefits) but it's really the mood benefits I'm enjoying the most. I always leave class in a great mood. If you're thinking about trying yoga or restarting a practice, come here! It's a friendly place!

I recently joined Brassy Buddha, when I was grabbing a juice from Ono Bowl and stumbled upon a sign that said Yoga. I asked about the studio behind the juice store and Carmen, the owner of Brassy Buddha, came out and was so enthusiastic to show me around, that I felt instantly excited and connected to the space. Carmen offered a week of unlimited classes for a small price of 39 dollars and that week I was hooked. Carmen is an incredible teacher and so dedicated to her practice. Additionally, she has other instructors that are equally as wonderful. You can’t go wrong with any of the classes. I work from home and this is the first studio I have been apart of that offers classes in the middle of the day, as well as morning and night classes. Often times I take a class at around 11 or 12 and then work from the juice bar. I highly recommend you join this studio whether you are looking for a workout, looking to grow in your practice or just curious to try hot yoga or yoga in general. love it here!!

I have been taking Carmen’s classes for years and was thrilled to learn she is the new owner of Brassy Buddha. The space is a hidden gem with amazing infrared heat that somehow makes you feel so good after each class. Carmen and the other instructors are all so warm, professional, knowledgeable, and fun. I can’t wait to try one of the workshops they offer as well. The studio offers both heated and non-heated classes so there is something for everyone. But I’d do anything for the cold towel that they put on your forehead after a heated class!!

Carmen is one of my favorite humans, not to mention a favorite yoga teacher. My daughter attends her middle school classes and adores it. Carmen has a soothing and relaxing manner and tricks you into pushing your body to new limits. I love the warm yoga room and especially love the cold towel at the end. This is a great yoga studio in a great location-there’s a smoothie shop for a snack after. I wish Carmen and Brassy Buddha all the success!

Brassy Buddha studio is a gem. Beautifully decorated, very clean  as it exudes positive energy and vibes.  Brandi's sequences are created to guide each yogi into their own personal  free flow experience.  She incorporates Vinyasa as well as her own personal touches of yin.  You leave her class feeling happy and renewed as she is beautiful inside and out.  Highly recommend Brassy Buddha studio to all yogis and yoginis.

Let me start off this review by saying I never write a review! But I took a class at the studio a few weeks ago and just had to write one and let people know how wonderful this studio is! Its more then wonderful, its really beautiful, welcoming, and peaceful. The owner has great energy and is just so welcoming. The studio is clean and so beautiful and serene, it really doesn't look like any other hot yoga studio I have been too. It has its own unique look - calm, peaceful - everything a yogi would want. The heat is great and the instructor I had was super! Her name was Rarita and I got everything I needed for my mind and body out of her class. I am an experienced hot yoga practitioner, I plan on taking more classes here and would highly recommend it!

I love, love, love this new studio. I have been at a loss for a good hot yoga experience since my Bikram studio closed and this one is amazing. The studio itself is beautiful with the perfect amount of heat, but even better is the owner (Brandi) who is such a lovely, inspirational woman in addition to being an amazing yoga instructor. I feel so comfortable there all the time...and she is terrific at coaching and helping you improve. I've also taken a few of Jody's classes and she is terrific as well!

I had never tried yoga before going to Brassy Buddha. I had been hesitant to try it because I wasn’t even able to touch my toes. Not only was everyone there extremely welcoming, but the teachers all work personally with each student to assist and help you get the most out of class, no matter your skill level. The atmosphere of the studio alone is enough to help you decompress after a long day of work. I highly recommend this studio to all, especially those on the fence about trying yoga.

This studio is the most welcoming, down to earth, zen & peaceful place to just unwind and connect with yourself. Each teacher helps to personalize your experience during class - to make sure that you feel deeply connected with your mind, body and spirit, and that you are comfortable just as you are. The energy and positive vibes here are just through the roof! I recommend this yoga studio to EVERYONE, no matter what your experience is, you will benefit immensely just from coming here!! 😊 thank you Brandi for being a mentor to all!
Namaste♥️
