Fire Shaper - North Haledon

The teachers and staff in studio are outstanding and some of the best around. Unfortunately, the owners only care about how much money they can bring in. In my communication they have shown zero compassion and are passive aggressive. Pretty ironic a yoga studio, which promotes flexibility and claims everyone’s body is different, is unwilling to bend and work with their customers.nnI can’t say I’m surprised they are looking at COVID only from a business perspective. Times are tough for all of us, but their unwillingness to view things from the eyes of longtime customers is embarrassing for a yoga studio that promotes community. FireShaper created fake rules that would limit the attendance of students who purchased packages ahead of COVID and allow them to bring in more money.nnI had purchased a year of unlimited multi-studio yoga pre-pandemic and upon reopening was told I was limited to four classes per week and was only allowed to visit one location. I let them know this wasn’t fair and asked for a resolution and was given an account credit that could be used to purchase classes as I’d like...this allowed me to purchase 7 classes and last two weeks, while the 4 a week would have allowed me nearly 50 for the remainder of my package over three months!nnI again asked to reconsider and was told not they weren’t discussing this any further and not to contact them again.

So happy to be back!!! Great job taking care of common areas and assignment of students with distance in mind!

From out of town and I have visited this studio a number of times when I am visiting family. Went to a class recently and got called out 3 times in front of the class for modifying into an arm balance. I was in the corner being quiet and went completely with the flow of instructions. The instructor would say “we are not doing that right now!” and “this is MY class”. I looked around and saw other people modifying, flipping dogs with out instruction and even taking head stands literally seconds after I got scolded. Was afraid to do any sort of modification from there on that and felt completely uncomfortable. She even laughed at me with a few others on the other side of the room after saying “yeah, AGAIN not doing that right now!”. Not sure why she was picking on me, but where I do yoga back home this would never happen or be tolerated. I was completely distracted for the class and made me never want to come back. Although it was her class I paid $25 for it to get scolded, embarrassed and distracted.

Great staff/trainers that deeply care about your yoga learning progress, whether you are advanced or beginner.

My go to place for hot yoga! Great instructors and super hot!
