From the reviews
Coming from a exercise science and personal training background, this is one of the best yoga studios in Hunterdon County. The instructors are very confident in their abilities to teach, practice, and most importantly make you feel comfortable. I have been to many studios before.
I went to yoga essence for the first time this morning. I was greeted/welcomed as soon as I walked in and was given a tour so I immediately felt comfortable. The studio was extremely clean, well decorated, and there was plenty of parking.
Love me some warm slow flow on Tuesday nights with Lauren. Her cues are smooth and calm with great transitions. Great class.
I have been practicing yoga for about a year now. I started at a different studio from Yoga Essence and was sad to have to find a new "home" studio due to no longer going near my work. It is funny to look back on being sad because I can't imagine my life without Yoga Essence.
Teacher training at Yoga Essence of Lebanon
Yoga Essence of Lebanon comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Yoga Essence of Lebanon
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, 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.
