Carla of Garden of Healing is amazing! Id known about this business for a long time, but never went to check it out for myself. My first Kundalini class kind of blew away. I also appreciate the events they hold & community outreach theyve done. Im looking forward to more heart, mind & body-opening experiences with Garden of Healing :)
Great small studio in New Brunswick with lot of heart and variety of classes in different formats (during COVID: online, outdoor, in person (limited #)-check website for latest). I love the diversity in teachers and students - great community. Owned by the inspiring Carla who is not passionate about yoga and different healing modalities, but also compassionate and actively involved with local community. Come check out the Garden and support this black female-owned small business!
I called this place to schedule monthly yoga sessions for the residents of a property where I work. I spoke to Carla I believe, and had a great conversation about what I was looking for and all seemed well. She was supposed to email me with prices and details that day. A week goes by and nothing. I called the studio and left a message. No return calls. I sent a 2nd email... and nothing! 4 weeks later and NOBODY has returned any calls or emails. Lack of professionalism is the only way I would describe my experience with this business.
I currently am taking personal Hatha Yoga lessons at Garden of Healing and it is one of the best decisions Ive ever made for my personal growth. The first thing I noticed walking in the door was a sense of calm wash over me like a wave. It is clear that much time and effort was taken to cultivate the atmosphere. Carla, my instructor, is a very loving person who is as interested in my growth as I am. I was not sure about yoga when I started, but I knew I was looking for something. Not to say Ive found it, but this place and this practice has started me on a path Im positive has great potential. Ive seen a lot of benefit in my mental, emotional, and physical state already. If you have a chance, I would suggest stopping by for a class. You wont regret it!
I went to a yoga class here with Karla (Carla?) after doing months of physical therapy for my sore hip with no effect. After one class, I felt some relief for the first time, and I most definitely will go back. Thank you!
Dedicated classes and nice open space plus a boutique.

Ive been trying for over a month to be refunded by Garden of Healing Yoga & Wellness Center when they changed the days and times of the bellydance classes they were offering and I was unable to take them.I am very disappointed that not only have I not been refunded, but now I am starting to feel ignored. Even if its just an honest oversight - which by this amount of time I am doubting - it is very poor customer service.UPDATE: After making more efforts and calling in the cavalry, I was finally given my refund and an apology.
