Yes, we have a few lockers for daily use and plenty of cubbies for shoes & stuff.

Do I need to bring my own mat?

While we believe it’s best to bring your own mat we do have plenty of yoga mats, blocks, blankets and straps for use, free of charge.

Dharma Yoga is a classical Hatha-Raja Yoga system developed by Sri Dharma Mittra who is considered the “Rock of Yoga” and still teaches in NYC to this day. He is famous for his “no hands” headstand.

Do you have a squat rack?

We do not have a squat rack but we do have a Smith Machine which is similar and has a safety feature which can help prevent getting “stuck” under the weight or going too far.

What if I am a beginner Yoga student?

Our teachers have plenty of modifications and variations to offer for all levels of fitness. Yoga is not a competitive sport, you are free to work at your own pace and level within the framework of the class.

Do you have a Pilates Reformer?

We do not have Reformer and teach only Mat Classes with small equipment such as the “Magic Circle” and flat elastic bands.

What if I am new to exercise/ gym environment?

Try our one month special or 50% off Personal Training session to get oriented to the gym and see if it is right for you.

I am pregnant, which classes are best for me?

All classes should be fine but we highly recommend a personal training session first in order to work on modifications that may be necessary for each class and phase of pregnancy.

I am a new mom, can I bring my baby to the gym/class/PT session?

If you are taking a personal training session, the baby can stay nearby in a carriage. Otherwise for safety reasons we do not recommend this.

Where are the classes held?

When you arrive, locate the staircase leading up to our mezzanine level Mindbody Studio. Either by way of the gym or reception hallway.

Yoga for Stress Relief — Calm Your Mind and Body

Yoga & MIndfulness

Written By Kelly Lee

Yoga Is More Than Flexibility

If you think yoga is only about stretching, think again. Yoga combines breathwork, movement, and mindfulness to reduce stress and restore balance to your daily life.

Lowers stress hormones: Deep breathing activates the relaxation response and reduces cortisol.

Releases muscle tension: Gentle poses ease stiffness in the shoulders, neck, and back.

Improves sleep: Regular yoga practice can quiet the mind and support deeper rest.

Boosts mood: Mindful movement and meditation increase feelings of calm and positivity.

Tip for readers: Start with just 10 minutes of yoga a day. Simple poses like Child’s Pose, Legs Up the Wall, or a few deep breaths in a comfortable seat can make a big difference.

Book a yoga or Pilates class at Maximum Motion Fitness in Jersey City and learn how movement can help you manage stress, build resilience, and restore balance.
