About This Women-Owned Business
Indigo Yoga is a sanctuary in the towns of Caldwell and West Caldwell offering a variety of styles of yoga. It’s a supportive community that aims to help everyone become healthier and happier. The business was started 9 years ago by Stephanie Parcells, and was purchased last September by Samantha Gambuzza and her husband. The strong foundation and community that the company was founded on still shines through today. In fact, the same instructors still teach there along with a few new faces. In total, there are 20 experienced yoga teachers that are trained to work with all levels and amazing talent, as well as a few receptionists and a social media specialist to assist Samantha in day-to-day operations.

Meet the Owner
The Montclair Girl team had the pleasure of speaking with owner Samantha Gambuzza who told us that the best part of running the business is seeing how yoga can change someone’s life. She explained that watching people come out of class with a smile and change of attitude is just one of the examples that makes being a business owner so rewarding. “Our space is for everyone. You can take your first yoga class with us alongside yogis that have been practicing for years and you will still leave feeling confident, proud, and balanced.”
She added that their clients and community are what really sets indigo apart from other studios — making it feel like one big family. “Our staff and teachers are our shining stars. Their dedication and creativity amaze me every day and our clients absolutely adore them!” Anyone can feel comfortable practicing in a safe place at Indigo.
Inviting more athletes, and building day retreats are just a few of the goals set for 2023. Samantha said she strives to make Indigo not only an escape and recharge center for the community but a home to all.

Benefits of Yoga
One of the many reasons why we love yoga is how one practice can turn your entire day around and make you feel content, balanced, and energized. The benefits of yoga are impactful on your mental and physical health. For the body, yoga increases core strength, lowers blood pressure, helps with weight management, aids in digestion, detoxifies the body, relieves pain and tension, increases flexibility, improves posture, and boosts your immune system. For the mind, yoga helps increase self-acceptance and mental awareness, improves concentration and the ability to focus on the present, neutralizes stress, improves memory, boosts confidence, and balances the brain hemispheres.
