I've been coming to The Mat about five days a week for the last 2 years. One of the things I…read moreappreciate most is the variety of classes they offer. Whether you're looking for weighted or non-weighted workouts, heated or non-heated classes, there's something for everyone and every fitness level. The instructors are all incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive. They consistently encourage everyone to work at their own pace, making the studio feel comfortable whether you're brand new or have been practicing for years. There's never any pressure to keep up with anyone else, just a positive environment that helps you improve over time. If you're looking for a studio with great instructors, diverse class options, and an encouraging community, I highly recommend checking out The Mat.

The thought of a yoga…read moreor Pilates studio can be intimidating, but from the moment I stepped through the doors of The Mat, I felt so welcomed and seen. The classes are dynamic but beginner friendly. You will sweat! This is a hot studio, but the instructors encourage taking breaks, staying hydrated and going at your own pace. The environment is lively and it truly feels like a community. The Mat also puts on a variety of events, partnering with other small or local businesses, or featuring guest instructors. I'm so grateful that Vallejo has this as an option. It makes me proud to support a Latina owned business and such an inclusive space!

Laura warmly greeted me and instantly made me feel welcome. The studio is spacious and still practicing Covid guidelines because there are markers for where to place your yoga mat. You have to bring your own yoga mat and wear a mask. However, I love all the props that are provided! I used the blocks and pillows for extra support during stretches. Laura had such a calming and relaxing voice. I loved how she asked the class what part of the body we would like to focus on. She came around each person and helped assist with poses which I really appreciated! I got the most out of the class with her feedback for me! This class had me so relaxed and zen I felt I melted into my mat. Thank you Laura, looking forward to more classes here!

You're greeted right away and honestly, that's so important when you take fitness classes in my opinion. It definitely made me feel welcome and comfortable. The cycle (or spinning?) class was taught by Candice (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) and her playlist was *insert fire emoji here*! It was such a good mix of different genres that's great for everyone taking a class. The movements were challenging but doable! And it makes it a little easy when you're going with the music. The room was dark but it had some kind of colorful lights. I'm blanking out with how to call them but it definitely made the atmosphere feel more inviting and peaceful... if that makes sense lol I know they offer other fitness classes so definitely check them out!

She has an…read moreattention to detail, hands on approach, that makes sure you are comfortable and doing the poses in the way that suits you best. She asked everyone before we began class if anyone had any ailments so she could tailor her focus or show you alternate ways to do poses to best suit you. She walks around to each person to allow guidance. She "picked" on me as I was a newbie but I really appreciated it. I put on my learning cap and really tried to absorb everything and try out the different resources. Oh you've got a bean bag or an eye mask, sure I'll try those out. I had never taken a restorative type class. Here you use several props to support your body, while focusing on one part of your body, you relax the rest of your body. Once you find the perfect balance, you hold each position for an extended period of time. In the classes I took in the past you moved through the poses so fast you never really felt what you were doing. This was much more focused. The music was beautiful, the light was dim, and she offered words of enlightenment along the way. It was very relaxing, rejuvenating, mind opening and perfect. I can't wait to try out the other classes the Benicia Yoga and Wellness has to offer. Thank you Laura!!
