Newburgh Yoga Shala,

5 Liberty Street, Newburgh, NY 12550

"The Newburgh Yoga Shala is a wonderful yoga studio. The teachers are very knowledgeable, and serious about their practice, but also warm and welcoming and very comforting and comfortable to take classes from. For me, the fact that The spiritual aspect is so important in this Shala makes it a truly fulfilling and all encompassing experience every time, with every teacher. I am challenged in the best way every time I go to a class."

"The very first time I took Vinyasa class with Danielle, i felt that this was it, I finally found the yoga school/sanctuary I would like to come back again and again; the energy of the space communicated with me the same language, the quality of teaching was superb. The owners made sure to create safe and comfortable environment for the practitioners, from the simple yet sophisticated design of the studio to the heated wooden floors. Thanks to Bibi’s intelligent guidance i was able to start deepen my practice to the point that I now feel knowledgeable and confident enough to practice on my own. There are so many amazing parts that make up the Shala community: true dedication, discipline, spirit of union, encouraging for growth and support from like-minded people."

"This studio - and everyone in it - are great. I've done about 25 classes there so far. I go on the weekends usually, and the classes are always unique in certain ways, and I always float out of there and into my weekend. Bibi is a great teacher! They all are. And I love that they have a harmonium, and there's always something going on, community-wise. Highly recommend, but don't steal my spot!"

"Yoga Shala is a special place. I spent a month in Newburgh over the summer and took advantage of their generous unlimited intro offer. The sense of community they've cultivated is really unique. The vinyasa classes are challenging for advanced yogis, but also inclusive and approachable for all levels. All of the instructors are really wonderful. I can't say enough good things about this studio - Newburgh's lucky to have such a wonderful spot."

"My fiancé and I specifically chose to spend a couple of weeks in Newburgh (all the way from Brooklyn...) because of its yoga studio, and what we experienced was an absolute delight! Newburgh Yoga Shala is a hidden gem in the Hudson Valley. The owner, Bibi, has cultivated an amazing community of welcoming teachers and fellow practitioners alike; her studio is a reflection of her years of dedicated practice infused with endless passion and love. Newburgh Yoga Shala is deeply rooted in Ashtanga yoga and yogic philosophy, offering Mysore practice five days a week, along with daily Vinyasa and Yin classes. On the days when Bibi leads the Mysore practice, she arrives early and chants the Hanuman Chalisa, providing an option for you to join in or begin your practice. Either way, it's a beautiful start to the day. In addition to Mysore practice, we also participated in a handful of Vinyasa and Yin classes led by various instructors. Each instructor guided us through thoughtful and intelligent classes, accommodating beginners, addressing injuries and physical limitations, and most importantly, exuding authentic kindness. A special shout-out goes to the Yin class that perfectly balanced exertion with relaxation, leaving us feeling as if we were floating on clouds, completely stress-free for the rest of the evening. Whether you're a local from Newburgh or the Hudson Valley seeking to embark on a yoga journey or deepen your practice, or if you're city dwellers like us in need of a rejuvenating escape, Newburgh Yoga Shala is the place to make your yoga home."
