Yoga Barn NJ

Hi. I’ve attended two sessions at the Yoga Barn so far, with more to come. The first session was a gentle yoga and crafting experience. The second session was a full day of restorative yoga, guided meditation, essential oil crafting and blending, sound healing, journaling and more. These were really fulfilling experiences for me and my best friend. The sessions left me feeling really at peace and very limber. I enthusiastically recommend this facility and it’s instructor, as it is a peaceful, joyful setting designed to stimulate and enhance all the senses. Provided were healthy vegan/gluten free snacks and/or meals, tea and water, equipment such as mats, blocks, blankets, bolsters, enrichment materials, flower crowns, crafting supplies, sanitary & pleasant bathroom accommodations, and fire pit access (weather permitting.) Special accommodations can be made for overnight stays. The yoga and other enrichments are conducted in a red and white climate controlled barn that once housed two Clydesdale horses. I found the setting and companionship to be both grounding and encouraging. The Yoga Barn is located in picturesque, lush farmland; it also serves as an animal rescue and some of its current residents that I interacted with include Ella the pig, a mini horse, a small donkey, a Labrador Retriever… my inner child and adult self were extremely content with the surroundings and participants, both two legged and four. Thank you so much. Namaste.

I’d give 10 stars if I could!!! Yoga Barn is NJ’s best yoga and meditation retreat!! If you’re feeling the exhaustion of the hustle and bustle, and need to slow down to reconnect with yourself, this retreat is for you! Yoga Barn is located on a private farm surrounded by trees and greenery about an hour from NYC or Philadelphia that houses friendly rescue animals (pig, ponies, dog, etc.). The vibe immediately provides a sense of relaxation and gratitude. The day started with a light breakfast, followed by group introductions, manifestation journaling, and yoga in an intimate old horse barn that has been beautifully refurbished into a boho/rustic yoga barn. After a delicious lunch provided from a local restaurant (who doesn’t love a small business that supports other small businesses?!), we spent time getting to know one another around the fire pit, took leisurely strolls on the farm to meet the animals, and then created a special take home aromatherapy oil that smelled heavenly. At around 2pm, we moved into the main house for meditation, red light therapy, restorative yoga, and sound bowl therapy with ancient chymes. The owner Melaine expertly guided use through each practice and provided us with education on how and why each movement is important to our health and wellness. This helped each attendee to understand the importance of her teachings. Our day ended around 4pm and after a few months of a hectic work/life balance I left feeling renewed and reconnected to my personal goals for 2023. But the best part is I formed connections with each and every person who attended. I really feel I left with new relationships and friendships with other liked minded people ❤️. Last thing I’d like to add is Yoga Barn is perfect for people who want to connect with themselves or others, but would also be amazing for off-site corporate events, bridal or birthday parties, or even for yogis who want to rent this pace to offer workshops to their students. The options are endless so reach out to Melaine and I’m sure she’d be happy to work with you to a create special bespoke yoga and meditation event. Seriously if you made it this far on my testimonial, book now! You won’t regret it!!! I’m personally gifting this retreat to loved ones as Christmas gifts. I hope your experience is as magical as mine.
