I stopped in for a Buti class tonight with Lisa. The studio is BEAUTIFUL!!! The classes are incredible, and they are popular for a reason. There are so many different options for classes - you could try it all! This studio is really special. Take a few classes, check it out for yourself - you won't regret it. Jessica and her entire staff are highly skilled and so kind!

Holy wow! I just did a Bungee Fitness class and had the best 45 minutes I’ve had in weeks. Friendly, accessible, and exhilarating. I recommend this to anyone feeling the need to try something new and/or get a full body workout. Big thanks to Kim for an amazing class!

My instructor Elissa was fantastic at explaining how to get into and out of each move. I felt very safe, and was proud of myself for trying something new. I had a wonderful experience, and would recommend everyone any size or shape try a class here.

Been going to this studio for years and have my 7 year old doing aerial classes with Tiana now too. It’s a beautiful studio and has always been a welcoming space for me. I’ve tried a little of everything here and I always have fun even when I’m challenging myself with something new.
Watching my daughters confidence grow has been a wonderful aspect of the aerial kids class; when she first started she was scared to try anything. Now she’s flipping and spinning and having a blast.

Tiana, is not the best at teaching kids. All she does is talk and talk while kids are just doing their own thing. She closes the door so parents cant see what’s going on inside the room. My daughter told me they were playing games and listening to music. They gave the kids β€œfree time”. Kids have all the free time at home. Classes started always late. She was late for 30 mins and the class was done in 15 mins. β€œHalf class” ??Almost hit to the 5th session and I have never been so desperate for a class to be done. I DO NOT recommend this β€œteacher”. Waste of time and money. I expected way more for this Aerial Yoga kids class. My kid didn’t learn anything . So disappointed.

Started taking classes here a few weeks ago and it's the best exercise I've ever had. I'm not one to go to the gym or keep any kind of routine on my own, so I was looking for something challenging and engaging. I definitely found that challenge in the lyra/aerial hoop classes here. The instructors are so kind and helpful to people of all levels. I'm looking forward to many more classes in the future!

EDIT: 9 months in and still going strong! Lyra classes have become my favorite part of the week and I encourage anyone on the fence about trying the aerial classes here to give it a go.

I was looking for a way to keep fit while still staying safe and socially distanced. Good Karma Studio was the perfect fit! I wanted semi-private outdoor lessons for myself and my partner, and they customized the lessons for our needs. Our first lesson was amazing, so we decided to purchase a 6 lesson package. Our yoga routine was modified so we each learned comfortable ways to move, while improving stretching and strength. After a month of lessons, I definitely notice feeling better movement all around in my body. I would highly recommend Good Karma Studios to anyone interested in yoga - they are a delight to work with!

This place is amazing. The instructors are positive and helpful, and they truly help you achieve things you might not think you can do! Very small class sizes which is perfect. Give it one session and I promise you'll want to go back.

I'm new to the Albany area, and was looking for a new exercise place.
I was a bit nervous not knowing anyone, and having no real friends here, but I figured what can it hurt!

Well, I've tried aerial play, aerial yoga at beginner, beginner +, and intermediate levels, I've tried lyra, I've tried silks, I've done floor yoga, warm yoga, hify and chair dance. I've done several workshops as well. I've tried classes with 7 of the instructors; and I can say that every class is unique, challenging, and leaves you feeling accomplished and great! The proprietor and the instructional staff are great! The hours of availability are fantastic as well. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Not only have I found a great new location for exercise, I've made some fantastic new friends as well.

I tried aerial yoga there for the first time and I really enjoyed it - the instructor was very knowledgeable and it was fun. Also went to the yoga sculpt class - strong and sweaty. Overall a no frills yoga studio with good instructors.

I moved up to Albany for Grad School and got into the habit of neglecting myself and my work out routine. I found Good Karma Studio online and decided to take a step out of my comfort zone and take an aerial class and I fell in love! Jess and everyone at the studio make it such a warm and welcoming environment where you learn to care for yourself and focus on your practice. Take an hour out of your week and give it a try, you won't regret it.

I LOVE Good Karma's variety of classes offered - traditional yoga, warm yoga, aerial yoga, cardio barre and one of my new favorites - working out on a trampoline.

The owner sincerely cares about her clients and does everything possible to ensure they get a great workout.

Good Karma rocks!

Good Karma is probably one of my most favorite places to be when I have free time! It's the only place I like to practice aerial yoga! Jess and the other instructors are so sweet and are always so helpful! I highly recommend Good Karma to any yogi. It's a great place to begin your journey into the yoga world.

I have been going to this studio for a year and there is nothing like it! Jessica (owner and instructor) teaches both yoga and aerial strengthening classes. My personal favorite are the aerial classes, which have changed my body in ways that other fitness classes have failed. Jessica challenges and pushes you in every class, but if you are a beginner or have injuries, she modifies the exercises specific to your needs. Also, which is extremely important for me, she changes the classes every time to avoid boredom and so your body doesn't get used to the same movements. Other great pluses are the Rockband class - an hour of nonstop cardio hitting wood blocks with drum sticks and Aerial Cirque d Soleil class - performing aerial acrobatics in the swing. Overall, the atmosphere at the studio is warm, welcoming, fun, and challenging. A MUST studio to check out!

I absolutely LOVE Jessica's gravity classes. They have done wonders for my physical health. I feel leaner and more toned than ever before. The gravity yoga sessions are so relaxing and are a perfect way to unwind and tone at the same time. I highly recommend these classes to people looking for challenging and extremely fun classes. I will never stop taking Jessica's classes as she always switches it up and keeps our muscles nice and confused.

I love going to classes at Good Karma. Hot Sculpting Yoga and Gravity Yoga are my favorite. Jessica, the owner/teacher is a wonderful teacher and person and makes everyone feel welcome. Classes are always different, therefore you never get bored and you are always on your toes working different muscles and practicing different poses. Jessica also allows you to practice more difficult poses that most yoga instructors don't offer. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, you will get an amazing workout and feel amazing!

The Good Karma Studio to me is the perfect place to end my day. I enjoy all the classes and feel that Jessica provides a comforting and encouraging setting that changes frequently enough that I am never bored (my biggest problem with the gym and most classes I have gone to). There is also a great group of regular attendees that are very supportive, encouraging and fun.

In the gravity yoga classes, I have been able to explore inversions with confidence and have felt safe enough to move into positions on my own that I never would have done without an instructor spotting me at previous studios.

The strength training classes have also helped me a lot. I am able to do pull ups, flips and other moves that I never believed I would be able to do. I also was able to explore these different moves at my own pace, never being pushed beyond my limitations.

I also am a fan of the cardio class (such as tabata, cardio barre).

Overall, I am able to get a well-rounded workout throughout my week, keeping me engaged and always looking forward to going. I find myself rarely trying to make an excuse for myself of why I need to skip my work out.
