Bluedeer Yoga

great studio. and knowledgeable instructors. awesome place to practice yoga. the atmosphere of the studio is very tranquil. one of my favorite hot yoga studios in the area.

Suzanne is one of the nicest, most gentle yoga teachers I’ve come across in 5 years of doing hot yoga and she put together a beautiful studio. You feel relaxed as soon as you walk in and the room is huge — a great space and probably one of the biggest if not the biggest in the area.
I love HOT yoga, used to doing Bikram in 100+ degrees but like that she keeps the temperature a little lower, around 95 degrees. Might not seem much of a difference but it is. I also love the Vinyasa classes they just started with Justin. If you’re not into hot yoga, they offer Yin classes.
They have decent size changing rooms and showers which is a plus.
If you are an avid yogi or brand new to yoga, I highly recommend checking out Bluedeer!

I’ve been going here for a month now and really love it. I’ve had four instructors so far and they’ve all been great, offering very useful tips for specific moves, and all really seem to love the practice. It is also extremely convenient for anyone living in Old Orchard!

This is a great yoga studio. The owner (Suzanne) is such an amazing instructor. Totally recommend if you are looking for a beautiful place to practice. Of note, the studio is super clean and is in a great location.

this is the 3^rd yoga studio i’ve tried in south jersey… and my favorite one yet! though i’m a little bias since this location is also the closest to my home. lol
of all the classes and instructors i’ve had so far, suzanne and ruth are 2 of the sweetest and most patient instructors out there. yoga can be hard! but suzanne and ruth are able to simplify the instructions and help you reach where you’re physically able to– no pressure at all. i know some people might be afraid to try out yoga since they might not be as flexible. but don’t worry! we all start from somewhere and suzanne and ruth will guide you through and provide modifications to the postures if necessary.
this is a great studio esp for beginners. if you’re a regular, this is still a great spot to practice your moves! i really enjoy the spaciousness of the studio and the small classes. it really puts my mind at ease. i particularly enjoy the core 30 class with a twist to bikram’s routine 26 postures~ this class has a quicker momentum and the variations definitely help stretch more parts of my body.
long review short— 2 thumbs up! most bikram classes. i ask myself why i put myself through that unbearable sauna. bluedeer’s core 30 class– i genuinely look forward to practice every tuesday! :)

I have no complaints of this yoga retreat. Welcoming instructors, I have had two of the three, and as clean as can be from floor to ceiling. Locker rooms are spacious. It hasn’t been crowded when I have gone but instructors mention how it is well populated so Imagine most classes don’t get over 5 – 10 people. Class times are convenient as well as the location. It was a little weird at first being right in the center of a shopping center with a window looking out to passerby’s but hasn’t seemed to bother anyone in the studio. Reasonably priced as far as yoga goes, I originally started with a groupon but will likely continue after my visits run out.

Short Review:
I love this place! Suzanne and Ruth are great instructors and have been very helpful. The studio is beautiful and clean. Sign up and come to class! You will be grateful that you did. Especially with the 6am class. Start your day off right!
Background info:
I’m a 42 year old male. I’ve been traveling to Mount Laurel every week for work since the beginning of April. I’ve wanted to try yoga for years but always talked myself out of it since I have always exercised regularly (free weights, running stairs & basketball) and assumed I wouldn’t like it or it wouldn’t be worth the time spent doing it. I tried a few videos online but it was frustrating because I couldn’t tell if I was doing it right or not. I found Bluedeer Yoga and decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I’ve been averaging 5 classes a week and I miss it terribly when I’m back in North Carolina. In fact, if I could go back in time to when I played football in high school and college I would have done hot yoga in addition to all the other training I did because it would have helped so much. Flexibility is key I’ve found. If you can’t bend, you break. I believe it would have prevented more than a few football related injuries I suffered back in the day. My mobility in my shoulders, knees and ankles have been limited due to the old football injuries but I can feel my range of motion in all of them consistently improving. I feel so much better now. It really is amazing. Just try it, you will like it.

Lovely place, awesome ambiance and Suzanne is indeed a great instructor.
Suzanne is very balanced and I felt so much better after going to her sessions regularly. She pushes one to limit but with ease. 4 – 5 Classes and I already feel I am getting back in shape as well as reaping other health benefits. Temp are not too high, and makes this place a long term sustainable work out option.
I dont think one has control on the group of people you work out with, but be assured you are being taken care of well and each time encouraged to go beyond where you left.
Must try and highly recommended. Its meditation, exercise and relaxation all in one !!

It is with enthusiasm that I endorse Bluedeer Yoga studio. As a practitioner of Bikram Yoga for over 20 years, I have found myself very discouraged these past 5 – 8 years. It felt as though the practice was becoming almost «cultish». The newer the instructor, the higher the heat and more militant the instruction. I even left the practice to try other yogas, such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa. But I missed the heat and the flexibility it afforded me. I am happy to report I have found my yoga home at Bluedeer Yoga. It offers Core courses, created by Tony Sanchez, which are similar to Bikram but saner. For example, the minor grip changes, and focus on straightening the leg versus locking the knee, are subtle but profound. Suzanne, the owner, and former teacher of Bikram (indeed, one of my earliest instructors) is masterful in her nuanced and precise instruction. For her, it’s all about alignment and not muscling into a posture too soon. Other instructor Ruth, also knowledgable, brings humor to the class. The studio is lovely, light, roomy, and best of all, no stinky carpet! If you are looking for a solid yoga practice, with excellent instruction, Bluedeer is for you

I must have walked by this studio 30 times before I actually went and signed up for a class. I couldn’t get over how large this place is. I have yet to run into a yoga studio in south Jersey that has this much space. The place is stunning… I know because it stunned me. The lobby is warm, welcoming, calm and inviting. There is a lot of seating and a living room area with water/​tea/​magazines/​etc. There are men’s and ladies locker rooms in the back with showers and everything you will need to ‘reset’ after your practice. Lots of studios offer mat storage, here you can hang them completely open and let them dry off. Seriously, this studio is huge. The hot room itself is again… huge, it is new, modern, fresh, beautiful. My first visit here, I couldn’t get over how lovely this place is. The classes I have taken have been with Suzanne, she is the owner and is very sweet and welcoming.
This studio specializes in Hatha yoga featuring Ghosh lineage. Suzanne took the time to tell me that this is Tony Sanchez yoga not Bikram Choudhury yoga. There are several classes offered, the core 26, the core 30 and the master core 40. I have only taken the core 26 because that is the most frequently offered class and all I could make work around my work schedule.
So here is my humble opinion about the yoga. This to me looks like Bikram, call it whatever you like… it still looks like Bikram. The room is not as hot or as humid and the grips are different in some of the poses. Everything else… Bikram. If you are a practicing Bikram yogi, you will find that you are doing the grips incorrectly here. Such a minor detail, but worth mentioning.
This studio is new, the owner told me she has only been around for a few months at this point. I hope she gets more students and is able to keep this lovely space open. I have only taken a few classes here and have found some of the other students to be very discourteous to both the instructor as well as the other practitioners in the room. Enter the studio with the intent to practice, bring what you need with you — mat, towel, whatever. I have never seen so many people go in and out of a room during a practice in my life. Stepping out for a towel, then out for water, out for a potty break, out for more water, out because it is too hot, out for whatever other stupid reason. This is a 90 minute class, get your act together and stay in the room. All of this commotion and exiting changes the temperature in an already not that hot room. It is distracting and simply rude to the person leading the class. There is an etiquette in yoga, some … not all … of the people that practice here do not seem to care about that.
Overall, this is a nice studio and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a hot practice but is intimidated by 105 degrees and 40% humidity of traditional Bikram.

This is the most peaceful and beautiful yoga studio I have ever been to. The studio is spacious and you have plenty of room to practice yoga. Suzanne, the yoga instructor is wonderful. She is able to provide individual instruction to help perfect your yoga pose. I have been going to the hot bikram yoga for the past two weeks and love how I feel… more relaxed, more flexible, stronger and more energetic.
