“Where yoga teachers go to practice”
YogaRenew teachers
The teachers at YogaRenew aim to make all of our yoga classes here at the studio enjoyable. With a vast array of backgrounds, all aligned through the sequencing method specialized to our studio, we guarantee you’ll find a teacher and class style you love. We’re so excited to meet you along your yoga journey and can’t wait to practice with you.
See you on the mat!
Whether you’re a…
- Yoga teacher who’s ready to expand your knowledge + refine your craft.
- Busy parent looking to carve out some time to focus on yourself.
- College student who needs to find some balance in-between classes.
- Athlete that’s in need of a good stretch to fit into your training schedule.
- Human being on a mission to better yourself + your life overall.
We have a class for you!
We bridge the gap between the yoga “gurus” and the everyday student. Our teachers are expertly trained– everyone is an RYT-500HR or higher, but are also passionate about making this practice fun + approachable for everyone.
Come for a deeply methodical yet fun vinyasa flow, a gentle & restorative Reiki n’ Restore practice, precision & alignment perfection in an Iyengar-style class, unwind with Yin & Sound, or enroll in one of our 200 hour yoga teacher trainings (what we’re known for). We love to meet new faces and bring the joy of yoga to everyone!
VOTED HOBOKEN’S FAVORITE YOGA STUDIO
Studio Manager
Kate Wall manages the day-to-day functions that make the studio run as it should. Woven together with joy, she fosters an environment where all teachers, front desk staff, students and guests alike feel at home and at ease.
Responsible for being the manager while obtaining Hoboken’s Best award 2 years in a row, Kate has made the studio what it is. Here at Stu (we like to call it), everyone is family… and you’ll most likely take a class next to her and our other teachers the next time you’re practicing.

The curriculum, materials, practice videos were clear and well organized.
The weekly zoom calls especially is very beneficial and very lovely to meet the teachers who are very supportive and approachable in answering questions about the yoga itself, assignments, etc.
It has been a privilege and a humbling experience being a part of Yoga Renew 200H YTT, be it for personal development or polishing your skills as a yoga teacher, this is place to pursue those.
Thank you the Yoga renew team🙏🙏🙏
