From the reviews

Surya Yoga is a place I've been going to weekly for over a year. Initially, I had an unlimited membership and explored a great variety of teachers and classes, both hot yoga and regular.

★★★★★ — Elena, May 2024

Surya is the best yoga studio! The entrance is a bit hidden as they don't have a formal store-front (it is on the second floor), but the second you walk in they make you feel so welcome! It's very clean and the instructors are clear and helpful.

★★★★★ — Marissa, Dec 2021

Surya Yoga offers a fantastic variety of classes, from breathwork to Hatha and warm Yin, making it an ideal place for practitioners of all levels. I particularly appreciate how the warm Yin classes allow for longer holds, creating a perfect balance between challenge and relaxation, while giving my body the time it…

★★★★★ — Hsu, Feb 2025

Highly recommend. I started hot yoga about 2 years ago when I first moved to Jersey City at Surya and it was easily one of the best decisions I've made. I love this studio and all the people that make it special.

Your first hot yoga class at Surya Yoga Academy

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated to around ~100°F, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
