Student Feedback

Evelyn is a rare gem to find in the yoga community. Her teaching is rooted in many years of study and inner work. Evelyn brings her own life experience, mother wisdom, and passion to guiding students to embody their truest selves. She is a teacher that lives, talks, and breathes her yoga. I began studying and practicing yoga with Evelyn after surviving ovarian cancer. Her open hearted presence and individualized teaching style made me feel safe to go to the places that scared me. Studying yoga with Evelyn has been instrumental in my healing and process of re-connecting with my body. I feel blessed to have Evelyn in my lineage of mentors and would recommend her to anyone who wants to live more fully and heal deeply.   

Rick is an excellent teacher that offers a lighthearted but challenging teaching style. His energy is grounded and fun, making even the most uncomfortable asanas seem bearable and healing. He creates an inclusive learning environment, proving that yoga is for anyone who is willing to try. Rick has influenced me to balance my often 'too' serious yoga practice with ease and flow. I am grateful for how his presence and teaching reminds me to relax into my practice, especially when it is difficult.

"Having practiced various types of yoga for years in California and New York, I became most comfortable with restorative yoga. However, I have had a hard time finding a suitable class in New Jersey that offered this type of gentle practice that balances the body and mind and battles the stress that our busy lives as working moms creates. A friend introduced me to Evelyn Pagan Lisojo. Her unique and spiritual style spoke to me and inspired me. I left her classes not only feeling invigorated, rested and inspired...but truly healed. A chronic cough that I had been battling for months dissipated after one session with her where we focused on stretches that restored the lungs. Evelyn noticed how I was struggling and explained to me that my lungs had been working overtime to protect my heart and needed rest. The cough was finally healed! Something the inhalers and meds could not do. Truly remarkable.

I invited Evelyn to host a private yoga class for several of my girlfriends for my 40th birthday. I wanted to offer them the special gift that she offers. It was a beautiful two hours that we spent together, manifesting our goals and dreams, practicing being grounded, living in the moment and crossing the threshold from my 30s to 40, surrounded by my most cherished compatriates! It was a time I will never forget! Evelyn has a true gift. She is intuitive and is a healer. I would passionately recommend her to anyone I care about looking to find balance, peace, health, passion! Run don't walk to reserve a spot in her new Fanwood studio SKY Yoga! I will see you there.

My experience during the Yoga Day of Retreat was one of peace, warmth, nourishment and overall healing.  I started the day feeling extremely fatigued and ended the day filled with energy and lightness. Evelyn is a terrific communicator and makes you feel so special.  I really didn't want the day to end!

"I came to Yoga for the benefits of increasing my flexibility and balance, which it has. However, I found that Yoga was really much more.  It has become a place to invite my soul to visit and a place where I can catch up with myself and sort out my thoughts and feelings."

From my first visit I was completely entranced by Evelyn’s nurturing environment, her gentle style, and unique way of empowering her students to explore their own personal mind, body and spiritual connection to yogic practice.   Evelyn has a fantastic style - there is no rote poses or standard routine in a class, but instead each class is tailored to help address student's needs based upon what they need at that time.  I've taken other classes from other studios since starting my practice, but have never experienced the type of personal connection Evelyn brings to every single class she teaches.

 
I have learned so much from Evelyn in the years we have worked together. Her wisdom and guidance have changed me fundamentally, and I treasure her teachings, friendship, and love she continues to exude for yoga.  I feel unbelievable lucky to have her.

My 7 month old son and I really enjoyed the mommy and me yoga class with Jordana Edelstein. It was a fun and relaxed environment  where I was able to get in some much needed relaxation time while being with my little one at the same time. Jordana was great about keeping the babies involved and happy while the mommies were holding their poses. Jordana also provided new and dynamic work outs each week that left me feeling like I was able to stretch  and strengthen my overworked muscles.
I would recommend this class to any new mommy that needs to do a little something for themselves.

-Lesley

I highly recommend the mommy and me class with Jordana! She is a very warm, welcoming and knowledgeable teacher and offers modified positions if you aren't able to do something. She also offers to help with your baby to let you get the most out of the class which is just an added bonus! I can't wait to take the class again!
