Best yoga teacher - Steven Cheng I met Steven years ago when I really did not like yoga. As a busy mom and work professional, I struggled paying attention in classes before. When I started with Steven, he brought the practice and intentionality of yoga to his class. That plus the infusion of cool music and lovely rituals at beginning and end of class really helped me better understand how yoga could help my spiritual and physical health. He's not just a yogi - he's an amazing practitioner and student of the art of yoga. And genuine amazing human being. So generous and kind!
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level yogi, I'd definitely recommend this class. Steven is patient and knows how to tailor the class to student's needs. If there are beginners in the class that day, he'd teach more basic poses that can be also modified to more complex poses for the more intermediate students in the class. This class not only allows me to practice mindfulness but it gives me a much needed full-body stretch after a full week of work which consists of sitting and staring at the computer all day. I've come to enjoy Sundays because of this class. Classes are pay as you go so there's no extra fee required to join, unlike other yoga studios.
Love working with Steven. He is observant and patient for all levels, adapting based on the needs of the students each class. I have been going to his classes since I moved to Jersey City a few years back from NYC and credit this class with keeping me fit (physically and mentally) through the pandemic and other life changes. And it doesn't hurt that the location is beautiful. Highly recommend for everyone from beginners to long time yogis.
