I had my first experience with Good Karma this morning. Kim is an amazing instructor. The class was very fun. I also felt very safe. This may become favorite studio!

I was looking for a way to keep fit while still staying safe and socially distanced. Good Karma Studio was the perfect fit! I wanted semi-private outdoor lessons for myself and my partner, and they customized the lessons for our needs. Our first lesson was amazing, so we decided to purchase a 6 lesson package. Our yoga routine was modified so we each learned comfortable ways to move, while improving stretching and strength. After a month of lessons, I definitely notice feeling better movement all around in my body. I would highly recommend Good Karma Studios to anyone interested in yoga - they are a delight to work with!

I take the Deep Stretch Aerial class once a week. I have increased my flexibility quite a bit in just 2 months. My back pain has decreased and it is FUN!

This place is amazing. The instructors are positive and helpful, and they truly help you achieve things you might not think you can do! Very small class sizes which is perfect. Give it one session and I promise youll want to go back.

I just took a class last week at the new studio, and it was incredible! The new space is so serene and calming and the aerial class is so much fun! I cant wait to go back and do more classes!

I tried aerial yoga there for the first time and I really enjoyed it - the instructor was very knowledgeable and it was fun. Also went to the yoga sculpt class - strong and sweaty. Overall a no frills yoga studio with good instructors.

My daughter and I went for our first ever aerial class - what a treat! The instructor was incredibly kind and the class was super fun! It felt more like playing than exercise!! Definitely recommend!!

Im new to the Albany area, and was looking for a new exercise place.I was a bit nervous not knowing anyone, and having no real friends here, but I figured what can it hurt!Well, Ive tried aerial play, aerial yoga at beginner, beginner +, and intermediate levels, Ive tried lyra, Ive tried silks, Ive done floor yoga, warm yoga, hify and chair dance. Ive done several workshops as well. Ive tried classes with 7 of the instructors; and I can say that every class is unique, challenging, and leaves you feeling accomplished and great! The proprietor and the instructional staff are great! The hours of availability are fantastic as well. I would absolutely recommend this place.Not only have I found a great new location for exercise, Ive made some fantastic new friends as well.

After taking four different classes with Jessica I wanted to write a review to share my experience.I work out on a regular basis and have visited several different studios and the classes at Good Karma are by far the best!Jessica’s extensive knowledge and positive energy guide you through exercises that challenge all muscle groups. You will recognize her creativity as soon as she welcomes you to her studio and it is ever present during her classes utilizing resistance bands and gravity swings. One of the best workouts I experienced utilized only a folding chair and light hand weights. During class she constantly monitors the clients, offering suggestions on form and modifications to improve your results. Her clients continue to be challenged, as the same class is not repeated week after week.Treat your mind body and spirit by visiting this studio. You will not be disappointed!Tell her Terri sent you!

Aerial yoga makes me feel like a kid again. The classes are fun and you get a great workout. Not to mention, Jessica who is the owner and one of the instructors is so knowledgeable and her classes are really creative, especially the Cirque Du Soleil classes. Love, love, LOVE this studio!!!!

Good Karma is probably one of my most favorite places to be when I have free time! Its the only place I like to practice aerial yoga! Jess and the other instructors are so sweet and are always so helpful! I highly recommend Good Karma to any yogi. Its a great place to begin your journey into the yoga world.

I moved up to Albany for Grad School and got into the habit of neglecting myself and my work out routine. I found Good Karma Studio online and decided to take a step out of my comfort zone and take an aerial class and I fell in love! Jess and everyone at the studio make it such a warm and welcoming environment where you learn to care for yourself and focus on your practice. Take an hour out of your week and give it a try, you wont regret it.

I love going to classes at Good Karma. Hot Sculpting Yoga and Gravity Yoga are my favorite. Jessica, the owner/teacher is a wonderful teacher and person and makes everyone feel welcome. Classes are always different, therefore you never get bored and you are always on your toes working different muscles and practicing different poses. Jessica also allows you to practice more difficult poses that most yoga instructors dont offer. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, you will get an amazing workout and feel amazing!

I absolutely LOVE Jessicas gravity classes. They have done wonders for my physical health. I feel leaner and more toned than ever before. The gravity yoga sessions are so relaxing and are a perfect way to unwind and tone at the same time. I highly recommend these classes to people looking for challenging and extremely fun classes. I will never stop taking Jessicas classes as she always switches it up and keeps our muscles nice and confused.

The Good Karma Studio to me is the perfect place to end my day. I enjoy all the classes and feel that Jessica provides a comforting and encouraging setting that changes frequently enough that I am never bored (my biggest problem with the gym and most classes I have gone to). There is also a great group of regular attendees that are very supportive, encouraging and fun.In the gravity yoga classes, I have been able to explore inversions with confidence and have felt safe enough to move into positions on my own that I never would have done without an instructor spotting me at previous studios.The strength training classes have also helped me a lot. I am able to do pull ups, flips and other moves that I never believed I would be able to do. I also was able to explore these different moves at my own pace, never being pushed beyond my limitations.I also am a fan of the cardio class (such as tabata, cardio barre).Overall, I am able to get a well-rounded workout throughout my week, keeping me engaged and always looking forward to going. I find myself rarely trying to make an excuse for myself of why I need to skip my work out.

I have been going to this studio for a year and there is nothing like it! Jessica (owner and instructor) teaches both yoga and aerial strengthening classes. My personal favorite are the aerial classes, which have changed my body in ways that other fitness classes have failed. Jessica challenges and pushes you in every class, but if you are a beginner or have injuries, she modifies the exercises specific to your needs. Also, which is extremely important for me, she changes the classes every time to avoid boredom and so your body doesnt get used to the same movements. Other great pluses are the Rockband class - an hour of nonstop cardio hitting wood blocks with drum sticks and Aerial Cirque d Soleil class - performing aerial acrobatics in the swing. Overall, the atmosphere at the studio is warm, welcoming, fun, and challenging. A MUST studio to check out!
