What are people saying about “Yoga for Your Health, Regardless of Your Wealth”

- I do yoga on a regular basis. I think it is a wonderful release for the soul, mind, and body. I have taken classes at many different studios that all have their own methods and philosophies about the art of yoga. One of my favorites is Yoga Above on Nassau Street. I feel that yoga is meant to be a spiritual experience where you don’t worry about any outside distractions like money, competition, or any other stressors. Yoga is for everyone and shouldn’t have a price tag. Yoga Above has the same beliefs; they are a strictly donation based studio. For any class you choose to take they ask you to make a donation rather than making a set price for the class. If you can’t afford more than a few dollars, that’s just fine. The instructers and owner of the studio are open and friendly, which makes the classes have a nice atmosphere. There are classes offered in all styles of yoga- asana, ashtanga, hatha, vinyasa, etc. Their power yoga class left me shaking from working my muscles so much but the instructor and owner, Micheal Cremone, made the studio have an open and calm energy. Yoga Above provides a soothing environment to practice any style of yoga with any price you choose. If you have a passion for yoga or even want to give it a try for the first time, try Yoga Above, you will surely love it. -Kristin

- I think it's fantastic you are able to teach yoga in the true meaning of its practice.. what an awakening! Thank you for your insight, generosity and sharing your success (especially in these difficult times). It would truly be a gift if we could all follow this path, but unfortunately, not every studio or teacher is able to do so (hopefully)... yet! - ES

- Thank you! I would like to share the experience with my daughter and friend and with this economy the things we do for ourselves are the first to go. Now it does not have to be this way. I think this is a positive welcome, change and you are truly an inspiration. - LM

- “How beautiful this is. I can not express what I feel: a revolution, a liberation, an exhalation; how I am applauding with all my heart your generosity and kindness, and feel as though now my good faith in you has been rewarded because it is folded into and become manifest with your spirit of AMAZING GRACE. When I come, whenever I come, I will be ready with my remuneration to you, feeling even more gratitude for the peace of mind you have helped me to engender in myself than I was before you went out of, and therefore into good, business!” - LS

- “In this time of trouble in the economy what a wonderful insight to give others. I am enlightened by your choice!” - CG

- “Your next step in a hopefully long journey surely stems from a deeper level of awareness and understanding. You have brought many people to a better place in their lives, physically and mentally than they would be without you. That includes me. I am very grateful to you for your spirit and talent in doing this and for just being the special person you are. My warmest good wishes are with you.” - GS

- “I understand, and that is great if you can do it, but what if you couldn't, like have a family etc. If we do it for free then only the people who can afford to/ are able to like you could be teachers. I dunno, I see your point really I do, I just have been in physical education/ teaching for a long time. Our work is undervalued and underpaid as it is. In some way this is scary to me. I also understand and cherish the philosophical and spiritual in yoga, but we have to make mulah to live in the world, especially here. In New Jersey, in America. Do you see what I mean?” - GB
