MOVEMENT THAT MOVES YOU.
Soulful, music-driven, expert yoga in the heart of downtown Closter.
Put your phone away and let the day wait. Atmospheric lighting, curated playlists, and refreshing towels set the scene for an hour that belongs to you.
Our vinyasa classes unite breath and movement with music you can feel. Seasoned teachers get to know your practice, offering personal guidance and hands-on assists. Then, savasana: the quiet after the music, the feeling of being held, the permission to simply be.
Named for a song about liberation, we want you to fly. New to us Try 21 days of unlimited classes for $79.
More than movement.
Every experience is built with intention. Flowing movement, breath, and yoga philosophy meet music that gives you goosebumps—and sometimes brings something to the surface you didn’t know you were carrying.
Our teachers pay attention. They notice when you need support, when you’re ready to explore, and when a small adjustment can change how a posture feels.
Expect sweat, moments of discovery, and a savasana you wish would last a little longer. A practice that helps you feel stronger in your body and more at home in yourself.

Leave your email and a few words about what you’re looking for. We’ll personally recommend a class and help you feel comfortable taking that first step.
Music as a healing force.
You know that feeling when a song reaches you before you can explain why? We build our playlists around it. Every track is chosen with intention: to carry your movement, stir something in you, and make a familiar posture feel entirely new.
Blackbird was named after a song about liberation. That spirit lives in every class: the possibility of feeling a little freer, a little more alive, and wholly yourself.

Yoga 101: A series for ABSOLUTE Beginners with Ina
Maybe you’ve been curious about yoga for a while, but walking into a class feels like a lot. You don’t know the poses, you’re not sure you’ll be able to keep up, and you’d rather not spend an hour wondering whether you’re doing everything wrong. Or maybe you’ve tried a class before and felt a little lost. The teacher was moving quickly, everyone else seemed to know what came next, and you never quite found your footing. This is a place to start. Yoga 101 is a four-week series designed to help you get comfortable with yoga in a welcoming, beginners-only setting. We’ll take our time exploring foundational poses, how to connect breath with movement, and how to use props and adjustments to make the practice work for your body. You’ll have room to ask questions, try things again, and receive personal guidance from a teacher who is paying attention. Each week builds on the last, giving you the chance to develop familiarity instead of trying to figure everything out in a single class. We’ll also help you understand the practical stuff: what to expect when you arrive, how to follow a class, and what your options are when you need a break or a different way to move.
Journaling for Joy: Mindfulness, Ink & the Art of Putting Pen to Paper with Ina
Curious about journaling but don’t know where to begin? Or already a dedicated journalist looking for a fresh spark? Join Ina for a playful, mindful hour of journaling, where there are no rules about what a journal “should” look like. We’ll explore simple prompts, mindfulness practices, and ways to make journaling feel less like a chore and more like a small daily ritual you actually look forward to. Inspired by Ina’s love of fountain pens, beautiful inks, paper, and the simple pleasure of putting pen to page, we’ll explore how choosing tools and practices that bring you joy can help make journaling a habit that lasts. Bring your favorite journal and pen, or simply come as you are. No writing experience necessary. Just curiosity, a little time, and a willingness to put pen to paper.
Autumn Yin Practice with Conor
Yin offers us the experience of rooting down and letting go. Much like the fall leaves change and release, we will embrace the ever flowing experience of the body and mind. The practice calls for postures held for long periods of time. This deeper practice offers us time to reflect and relax. The autumn season, and its ever-changing expression, prepare us for the coming darker months. The yin practice delivers by preparing the body and mind to embrace the relaxation response or “rest and digest” as we slow down together.
"Came initially to fix back issues (instead of pricey Physical Therapy). It was the best decision and I haven't looked back since. The classes are incredible (always evolving flow routines, knowledgeable & mindful teachers, great music, extra services like refreshing towels & overall attention to detail), and importantly, I LOVE supporting an independent business. I tried other "fitness" spaces in Closter, but nothing came close to the genuine care I feel at Blackbird. Yoga there has become a core part of my life - and my mind, body & soul are so much better for it."
