Prices, memberships and good to knowHow to book, what to bring, getting thereAbout Pure Bliss Yoga
pure bliss yoga keeps its practice in two studios, one in Fort Lee and one across the river in Edgewater. Most of what happens here is flow, a steady sequence of poses linked to the breath, and it sits alongside ashtanga, hatha, restorative work and the occasional aerial or sound class. The week begins early and runs into the evening, so it suits a practice fitted around the working day.

What the classes are
Flow forms the core of the timetable, and the classes are labeled as level 1/2 or open level, so they welcome people who are building familiar ground as well as those with more practice behind them. Ashtanga has its own place here, with a led class and a mysore practice that runs for three hours, where each person works through their own sequence with guidance. For slower days there are restorative sessions, a gentle alignment class, and yin yoga paired with sound healing.
The programme also includes aerial yoga and hip-opening classes for people who want to work on flexibility, along with the occasional gong and bowls session. Most of the classes run for about an hour, and a few stretch to 75 minutes or longer.
How the week runs
Classes begin as early as 5:30am, and the start times that fill most often sit between mid-morning and early evening, with 9:30am, 10am, noon and 6:30pm among the busiest. Roughly a third of the classes fall in the morning and another third in the evening, with the remainder spread across midday and the weekend. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday carry the most classes.
The studios are small in number but the facilitators are many, a couple of dozen in total, and a handful of them account for most of the classes. Zeni, Melissa, Brian, Jayne and Jordan are among those who lead the most sessions. Every class is taken on a drop-in basis, and no pass is needed.
