Inside Surya Yoga Academy's airy studios, experienced instructors lead students of all skill levels through invigorating yoga poses in temperatures that exceed 100-degrees Fahrenheit. The heat helps foster deeper—and safer—stretches that work on muscles, tissues, and organs nestled deep within the body for a comprehensive, full-body workout.

Surya Yoga Academy, which has been serving New Jersey since 2002 and was named a 2012 Jersey Choice Best Yoga Studio by New Jersey Monthly, holds classes every single day, making it easy for clients to get in 2-3 classes per week. This kind of dedication to the practice can lead to dramatic physical transformations. In fact, some clients have reportedly shed up to 40 pounds over a few months just by visiting regularly. Though the classes get hearts pumping and sweat glands working, they don't get joints aching. That's because they rely on no-impact poses, which help keep the body resilient, ward off physical injuries, and prevent kneecaps or glass-blown yoga pants from shattering. Showers, lockers, and changing rooms are also available for guests who want to freshen up after class.
