Bright Heart Yoga

I moved to Mendham about a year ago, and Bright Heart Yoga is my absolute favorite studio in the area. The instructors are incredibly knowledgable, the classes are small, and the environment is so friendly. I've been practicing yoga for more than a decade, and I'm fairly choosy about the studios I attend. That said, you don't need to be an experienced yogi to enjoy BHY. For people who are new to yoga, they have a nice mix of beginners' classes that cover the fundamentals.

TL;DR: A gem of a yoga studio--welcoming and relaxing, with wonderful teachers.

An absolute fabulous experience! Whether you are a beginner or have been practicing for years the teachers at Bright Heart Yoga will provide you with a class unlike any you have experienced elsewhere. The teachers are incredibly knowledgable. With the focus on proper alignment, not only will they keep you safe but you will leave feeling relaxed and recharged.

This is the best yoga place ever! Got me into shape after having both my babies. Kessiah is so caring and will help push you to the next level or support what ever yoga level you are at! You always feel welcome there and the people are so nice and welcoming...it makes you want to come back and connect with those people again. The environment is warm and sunny and it feels like your doing yoga in a treehouse in the woods where her location is. Peaceful and Serene. Once in a while we see deer out the window. Kessiah is so knowledgeable about body mechanics and muscles. She knows her stuff. Very focused on doing yoga in a safe, strengthening way. Even as i became stronger and stronger i still went to her beginner class because she always made us work. She used to say in a joking way.".just because its a beginner class doesn't mean it will be easy!" You feel just AWESOME after this class...EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY! You won't be sorry you came to this studio!

Owner Kessiah Carlbon has managed to create an environment in her studio where going to classes feels like hanging out with family. She's a terrific teacher and knows how to bring out the best in each of her students. There's no better place to take a yoga class!

Bright Heart is a relaxed and welcoming place - yoga classes there are
geared to the individual, yet challenging and fresh.
Kessiah and her crew are knowledgeable, patient and inventive.
Open to all ages and levels - a beautiful environment to practice.

I've been going to BHY's advanced class for over a year now and it's honestly different from any other yoga class I've ever taken. In the past, I had done meditative yoga, same-thing-every-week yoga, hot yoga, etc. I had tried so many studios that I thought I'd tried different kinds of yoga....but low and behold...Bright Heart Yoga. Kessiah's style of yoga, Anusara, is by far my favorite. If I'm going to spend an hour and half in class, I want to make it count! I want my muscles to feel it whether from the burn of holding a pose, or from the deepness of a stretch. Some people go to hot yoga so that they sweat....but just go to Kessiah's class and you'll be sweating, upside-down, with your feet by your head in no time.

And don't be intimidated, this method of yoga is based off of strong poses, and avoiding injury. Never have I once come home from class having over-extended or pulled something because I've tried something new. More often than not, I come home from class pumped about a new pose and want to show off for my roommates.

Kessiah is more than just a yoga teacher, she understands your body, the history and stories of yoga, and she can do some of the craziest moves I've ever seen a human body do. We laugh in class, challenge each other, and push ourselves a lot. I would recommend anyone to come here.

This is an amazing yoga studio! All of the teachers focus on proper alignment, safety and fitness. Everyone is warm, welcoming and fun.

I've been going to this studio for about 2 1/2 years..the teachers are knowledgeable, patient, it's not just a yoga class it's a bond with people that also love yoga!!!
