Nirvana Yoga Studio

Best yoga studio around. Even better than yoga studios I’ve been to in California. Awesome teachers, perfect yoga ambiance.

Still, after all this time (apparently I showed up coincidentally on their 10yr. Reunion) this studio remains a gem in this town where businesses go to die. But this one is alive and flourishing, the teachers make you feel at home the second you get there, Marlene remembered me when I returned years later from when I was regularly attending class here years ago, I was very impressed!
Apparently there are many new young teachers they have added to their roster I must try also but I tend to stick to what I know and I know her classes are always solid and always seem to be exactly what I needed for that day. It’s like she can read exactly how I’m feeling and tailor’s the class just for me (I.e. Exhausted, stressed, needing a butt-​kicking work-​out, in need of a nap!)
I also hear they ran a very successful teacher training program here and plan to do it again in Jan. Of 2016, which sounds interesting even if I don’t necessarily see myself as a teacher…

This is the real deal. Marlene is a fantastic teacher who constantly brings new information and inspiration into her classes. No intimidation factor here, just sound yoga and a big heart.

I tried Yoga once and I did not connect with it. Then I got my act together and decided to get fit, loose weight and try yoga again some 6 years later. If you haven’t ever done yoga or you are an accomplished yogi, Nirvana Yoga Studio lives up to its name. I started back as a beginner in a more advanced class (which i didn’t know at the time due to my own ignorance) but Marlene made sure that everyone in the class knew how to adapt the warm-​ups, stretches, poses, etc. to meet their needs. THIS IS WHAT A REALLY GREAT TEACHER IS ALL ABOUT !!! The atmosphere in the studio is warm and inviting as are the other students/​teachers. Men and women of all ages and body shapes/​sizes can be found in the classes. Go once and you’ll be hooked !!!

I had been told that Yoga would be good for me. I had back surgery several years ago and started experiencing pain once again. Rather than go back to the doctor, I thought why not give it a try. I was scared to death, especially since I am overweight and out of shape. I was lucky enough to get not only a patient, knowledgeable teacher, but the owner of the studio, Marlene. She is wonderful! I understand her other teachers are also great, but am sticking with her. I must say, that during the class, I am thinking to myself «what the heck am I doing here, I will never be able to do some of the poses the other students are doing». At the end «dead man’s pose, Savasana» I am soooo proud of myself and feel great! After seeing what it has done for me, my husband asked if he could join me, I was shocked! He is now accompanying me and practicing at home as well. We feel great, inside and out.
Thank you Marlene! We love you and your beautiful yoga studio!
Namaste!

Great yoga studio. Everyone is made to feel comfortable, teachers are excellent, and whatever your expectation is… it is met.

I recently happened upon this wonderful studio. The classes I have taken are taught by Marlene, the owner. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and phenomenal in what she offers. Her focus is mind-​body-​spirit. Her classes offer meditation, breath work, and yoga. Beautiful! Don’t miss an opportunity to study yoga with Marlene! And, the studio itself is a beautiful and peaceful place to practice in.
