Riffs Bird Rock is hands down my favorite yoga studio in San Diego! (I have ClassPass, so I've…read morechecked out a lot of yoga studios. And I like this one so much I bought a class pack here.) Their Ocean Beach location is nice too, but really sets this one apart is its outdoor deck. I've always believed yoga is exponentially better when it's outdoors, and the vibes of this outdoor deck are immaculate. I love practicing in the shade under the coverings, among lots of plants and nice classmates (everyone I've encountered here is lovely). Every class I've been to here, from vinyasa to slow flow to hatha, has been basically perfect. Also, parking isn't too bad, and I love Bird Rock. My favorite thing is stopping by Calumet Park before or after class, since it's only a couple blocks away and offers a killer ocean view. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or you've never tried yoga before, I would definitely recommend checking out Riffs! It's both accessible for beginners and authentic for those who are more into yoga.

I've been here multiple times. Great studio, very clean and with an awesome vibe. I love being…read moreoutside and I especially love the area at the back of the yoga space where you aren't quite under the canopy and you can look up at the trees. I also love the little altar that they have set up on the steps in between the instructor and the deck where the students are practicing. They always have it decorated with seasonal items and it's so pretty. I really enjoy the instructors. Today was Asia and she always teaches such an engaging flow. I also enjoy the classes with the live music. What I'm not a big fan of is the wellness area they have set up behind the studio in the grassy area adjacent to the yoga deck. They do cold plunge out there during the class and to be honest, I find it distracting. During today's class there was someone in the cold plunge in the beginning, fortunately that person was very quiet, but I was aware that they were back there. There have been other times when I was there when there were people in the cold plunge and they were laughing and talking while the class was going on. I get it that the studio is in the heart of Bird Rock that there is other noise from the street, from the taco shop next-door, etc. But to have the distraction in the space you are practicing in is not ideal. When I checked in at the front, the girl who had me sign the waiver asked me if I was aware that they had a wellness area behind the studio. I told her yes, and that I was not a big fan of it. She told me that they are brainstorming ways to separate that area from the front of the studio more efficiently. Hopefully they come up with some solutions!

It's lovely to be treated so well and experience such a high level of professionalism in one place…read more Check in experience was by-the-book, friendly, welcoming. I went to the 9:00am Vinyasa Power class. I felt included and welcomed even though I didn't look like the other girls going. The instructor was on top of her stuff. Creating a flow accessible for beginners but great top students with a touch of spice. The classic, power vinyasa one-breath-one-posture sequence was in there. I encourage new comers to go at their own pace. Margy was masterful. Walking around the class, to give attention. she mentioned hand-on-assists but there weren't any, which is typical for this branded style. Bravo Yoga Box! It's hard to pull off and your team left me feeling amazing!

While I discovered hot yoga is not for me, I still have a lot of good things to say. If I liked…read moreyoga more, I could see myself buying an unlimited membership here. They have a fantastic "try 3 free classes" deal for those who haven't tried Yoga Box before. I tried 2 of the 3 classes, both Power Vinyasa classes, as I am very much a beginner. Even the Power Vinyasa class moved pretty quickly so I ended up taking a few breaks to catch up. Can be tough if you don't know the name of certain moves but the instructors do a good job of demonstrating & watching other folks who know what they're doing is helpful. The studio is very communicative ahead of your first class and they do a good job of letting you know what to brings(yoga mat, towel, water). The studio is extremely clean & the instructors were very nice. I will say, I think this is pretty tough for someone (me) who has never done yoga before. It gets very warm in the room (97 degrees) and you will sweat a LOT. Like puddles of sweat. I recall the music in both classes I attended being really good. The prices seem pretty fair compared to other workout studios around PB (I think currently like $114/month for unlimited classes...that seems like a good deal (though I don't know how much other yoga classes cost) and there are a wide selection of time slots so seems to be good for early birds & those who want to come after work / later in the evening. Parking in the lot was nearly impossible but there is nearby residential parking...I got lucky both times but could see that being an issue depending on the time of day. So despite not yoga not being a good fit for me, I'd still highly recommend it to those wanting to try / those who know they like yoga!

It was filling and tasted healthy. There were large sides of yams and broccolini. For dessert, I got the Majestic (dense carrot cake with thick and creamy lemon cashew vanilla frosting). I liked the frosting quite a bit -- a little sweet, but not too sweet. The cake part was too dense for me; the texture was almost like that of a blondie (1 star off). For my drink, I got the Love smoothie (almond milk, coconut water, banana, kale, almond butter, date, and spirulina). It was hydrating and filling. I could even have it as a breakfast meal. The cafe is on the penthouse floor, at the top of the building. People are doing yoga outside of the cafe. What a great place to do yoga and get something healthy to eat and drink!

I patiently waited a whole year to write my review because from the moment I walked into this…read morestudio, I had a feeling I was going to love it & I did! This is a women owned business & I cannot be more proud of Erika & Leeann for doing what they do, what they've accomplished, & what is yet to come! This studio isn't your typical Barre studio, they really do teach more than just Barre, but also connecting to your mind, body, & soul. I love the fact this studio is not a chain, which makes it more special because it locally owned & their technique is impressive! I noticed there is never more than 10 people in the class, which is a plus! The instructors are able to concentrate on helping everyone with their forms & it becomes more personal compared going to a chain. I love the fact that every class/workout is different! The esthetics of the studio is what makes it different as well. Everything from the scents to décor, it gives a good energy & it literally doesn't make you feel like you're at a typical gym or workout space. All the women who work in the studio really do put in all their efforts to make everyone special & feel so welcomed. Try a class & you won't regret it!

I love this barre studio and community! I normally do classpass for workouts but after trying this…read morestudio I bought a package directly! Class sizes are small and Erika and LeeAnn are amazing instructors! One thing so unique about this studio is Erika makes sure your form is correct so that you don't hurt yourself. After I mentioned I was having back issues to Erika after class, she spent some time with me to make sure my form was correct and I haven't had any issues since! So appreciative of Erika and the Barre and Bay Wreath community. I hadn't taken barre classes previously and was very weak when I first started, but I always felt welcome. Love coming to classes here and can really see the difference in how strong I'm getting!! Can't wait for my next class!!

I took my first barre class at barre3 and while it was super tough, I left feeling strong and…read moreaccomplished. My instructor was Ashley (I think) and she was so sweet and encouraging. The studio was super clean, well-ventilated, and organized. She gave me a quick tour and helped me pick out my equipment since I was new. The class was a full hour, and was shaking by the end of the warmup, it is an incredibly leg heavy workout. The chair sits similarly destroyed me. Arm and core work came after leg, and I was much more comfortable doing those, but the barre leg movements were challenging for me. My legs ached for days after, but I will definitely be back! Pro tip for this barre3 location specifically, it's only a few blocks away from Wayfarer Bakery and Bird Rock. I strongly recommend pre-ordering for both places and just setting the pickup time for after your class! There are many beaches and cliffs in the area where you can sit and eat. Breakfast with a view after a good workout, what more do you need!?

Bought a two-week pass after a good intro class and brought a friend along. Friday was my first…read moreclass as a paying member -- I arrived ten minutes late after an hour of driving from summer camp dropoff with unexpected traffic, and was turned away at the door. Apparently, grace is only extended for five minutes. The owner explained why. First, safety: I'd missed the warm-up. (During my intro class, her receptionist joined about ten minutes late. So much for that.) Second, and more telling -- if she let me in, what would the other clients think? They'd think lateness was acceptable. The optics mattered more than the paying member standing in front of her In tears. Third, the policy was in an email I admittedly hadn't read closely. I was new- it was my first class as a member, so I truly didn't know or I wouldn't have driven the extra 30 minutes. All it would have taken: "Come in, warm up on your own and take it slow. For next time, we have a five-minute grace period." Rule intact, member retained. Instead I was sent home, and when I asked to refund the pass I hadn't used for a single class, I was told no -- she provides a service and I pay for it. Rigid, and not interested in the people paying to be there or in having empathy for real life situations.
