Wow. Liza is amazing and her Bradley Method course was very helpful for my husband and I. We…read morelearned so much and felt prepared to give birth when it came time. Our goal was to have a natural birth at the hospital, and because of this class and the knowledge/practice we had prior to having our baby--it made it all possible. My husband stated that he would pay double for this class because of how much he learned and how prepared he felt in supporting me once labor began. Each class was engaging and fun. Liza was so kind and sweet, she had checked in with me around the time of my "due date" to see how I was doing. She was SO kind to also message back in forth with my husband while I was in labor at home, which made my husband feel very supported throughout the entire process and he felt that Liza genuinely cared about our birth. Liza communicating with us during our labor via phone was above and beyond what we expected when taking her class. We are thankful for Liza and the way the Lord used her in our lives before the arrival of our first born!

I can't express how much Liza's Bradley class shaped our pregnancy and birth experience! I walked…read moreinto class thinking, I don't know anything about birth and there is no way I'll be able to do it unmedicated. And I walked out of the class with so much knowledge and confidence, and my husband and I were able to achieve the fully natural birth we had hoped for! She was the perfect teacher and I would recommend this to ANYONE AND EVERYONE!

Temecula Yoga Collective offers a truly special experience with their Restorative Fascia Release…read moreclasses, especially with Bautista Spears. This class is such a unique and effective way to release deep tension through gentle, organic movement, breathwork, and supportive tools. I left feeling completely renewed. The practice gently warmed my muscles, allowed for deep, nourishing stretches, and created this amazing cooling sensation throughout my body. By the end, I felt relaxed, calm, and centered....just an overall sense of ease and balance. The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and easy to access with plenty of parking, which always makes a difference. Bautista is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about fascia release. You can feel how much she truly loves what she teaches, and that energy carries throughout the entire class. So grateful for this experience. Thank you for sharing your practice!

My husband and I attended Babies in Bloom's Newborn Care and Preparing to Breastfeed classes toward…read morethe end of my pregnancy, and they gave us a strong foundation without feeling overwhelming. During our first couple of weeks postpartum, our baby struggled to gain weight because she wasn't transferring enough milk and I was dealing with an undersupply. After a difficult experience with another lactation consultant left me in tears and ready to give up breastfeeding, we reached out to Juliana at Babies in Bloom. We had appreciated her approach in our classes, and our experience with her was truly night and day compared to what we experienced with our initial consultant. Juliana thoroughly assessed our baby's latch, my nipples, feeding positions, and pump parts and settings. She listened to our concerns and created an effective, manageable plan to help us move away from what felt like an indefinite triple-feeding nightmare to our goal of exclusively breastfeeding. She also checked in between appointments, adjusted our plan as needed, answered our questions, and most of all encouraged us. With Juliana's guidance, our baby went from the 11th to the 50th percentile for weight, and my milk supply caught up to fully meet her needs by four weeks. By eight weeks, I was able to gradually drop pumping sessions without clogged ducts or mastitis, and by 10 weeks, we reached our goal of exclusively breastfeeding. I'm incredibly grateful we found Juliana and that I didn't give up. Her knowledge, support, and encouragement helped us achieve a goal that had once felt out of reach. I cannot recommend Babies in Bloom and Juliana enough for their classes and lactation consulting services!

Such a welcoming place! Juliana was very friendly & answered all and any questions she was given…read more She provided some helpful advice and I can't wait to go back to learn more.

i did prenatal yoga with Lisa during my last pregnancy. I loved Lisa's yoga classes and…read moreparticipated up until almost the last week of my pregnancy! IT was such an awesome thing to be able to continue to do yoga, perfectly right for my pregnant body and feel that I was prepping myself for childbirth (even though I had a c-section, haha). Lisa is an excellent yoga teacher, with a wonderful teaching method. She is like a teacher, a coach, and a friend. :-) It was so comfortable in her class, I felt like I was always able to share my pregnancy experiences and open up in class. Being able to do this allowed me to have a relaxed pregnancy and feel like I was doing good by my body! I highly recommend Lisa for prenatal yoga! She is knowledgable and her classes won't let you down.

No words can describe how much I'm thankful to Lisa and her beautiful prenatal yoga class. I've…read morebeen taking this class from 12 to 37.5 weeks of my pregnancy and I believe only because of that I am having an easy pregnancy and I am actually enjoying it. As a first time mom it was very informative as Lisa shares lots of resources in relation to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I think now I'm well prepared for labor and birth not only physically, but mentally as well. I highly recommend this class to any pregnant woman who lives near San Marcos. Lisa, I'll miss you and the girls from the class. Thank you so much!!!

I'm an Irish alcoholic but I was sober and I'd look at that bar as I was entering the kundalini studio and yearn for a drink.

We hired Peter for a business event and he led a guided breath work and meditation session for us…read moreand it was AMAZING! HANDS DOWN THE BEST I have ever experienced. Everyone in attendance was raving about it the rest of the weekend! I truly cannot say enough great things about the session itself. And Peter? He is wonderful and just truly an amazing person and teacher. You can tell that he is very passionate and loves what he does and it shows in his work. 4 people in attendance were so moved when doing his teachings that they cried because they reached a level of understanding and a level of openness that they have never experienced before. We had a group of 18 people and about 12 had never done any sort of meditation or breath work. Overall a truly amazing experience and I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Peter and seventh chakra yoga!

I've taken hot yoga classes before through Core Power, but I've never sweat like this in my LIFE. I was drenched, my clothes soaked through, it was quite hilarious actually. I could see sweat coming through individual pores all over my body. I think I took 8 different classes with 8 different teachers and each flow was nice! There are clearly lots of regulars that attend classes. Aerial Yoga isn't heated, and it was by far my favorite class. Maybe it was the novelty of it since I had never tried Aerial Yoga before, but nonetheless, I felt like a kid and was radiating a smile the entire time. Gayle was lovely. She even took some pictures of me in poses to share with my friends and family. I ended up having a private class since no one else showed up (yay me!!!). Parking available in the shopping center. Bathrooms & showers available inside. Filtered water available too- not cold, but you don't really care after you just sweated your entire body out. The staff & teachers were kind. Some made efforts to share modifications while others let people do their own thing. Some offered to do hands on adjustments (with consent), others just taught and gave praise.

I had such an amazing experience at Acorn Community Birth Center. From the beginning to the end and…read moremy postpartum visits, it was just such a wonderful experience. I was first greeted by Cristi, the executive director and midwife. She made me feel at ease and made me and my husband feel very comfortable. The birth center itself is in a peaceful community in Fallbrook. It has 3 birth rooms to choose from that are themed differently. I believe I chose the green room which acquired to my liking and it was extremely peaceful. The rooms are a good size and very comfortable. My birth experience was just perfect thanks to my midwife Debbie and the student midwives, Azure and Mel. They were so patient, kind, and so knowledgeable. I believe I met most of the midwives and they are all lovely. I love how you get to do your birth, your way, and the midwives guide you while following your lead. I don't trust traditional hospitals and I would much rather do a holistic birth with midwives, just as it has been done for ages. I would choose Acorn over and over again if I were to have more children. I even had to switch my health insurance just so I could give birth at the center versus a hospital and it was so worth it. It was such a beautiful experience.

This review has been long overdue. My first 3 were in the…read morehospitals with epidurals and my last two experience was unmedicated at Acorn. I never thought I would ever do a natural birth... but here I am! I will start by saying, natural birth is HARD. I went into my first unmedicated birth not knowing what to expect but I prefer it that way but boy was I determined!!!! Second time around I was nervous, anxious.. all the things! My first experience was great, although after labor I experienced some hemorrhaging. Once staff figured what was wrong they acted fast and I was relieved. It was a little traumatic for me but it didn't taint my experience with Acorn. I came back for round two!!! 2nd time around two years later! I delivered my baby girl on February 20th, my experience from start to end was amazing. During labor the team gives you and your partner space, during those moments were truly special. And probably one of my favorites. I had Cristi Sedona and Kyra for my team! And I would choose the same 3 every-time. Each of them brought a different vibe, but it was a mix that you need on your team! I can't thank them enough for making each experience so special, For me my husband and my family! If I was having more kids, no questions asked... I would do it again.... and again....

Nikki was amazing and an essential part of my extremely positive experience. We met with her in advance which helped us get to know each other, and also helped my husband feel more comfortable with having another person present for the birth. I was at the doctor's for my 39 week check up when I was told to go directly to the hospital as I was already 5cm dilated. Nikki rushed through to be with me even though I was sure I would be laboring until the evening. Good thing she did, as my baby boy arrived 3 hours later. During the labor itself, she was a calm coach who's attention and support let me feel confident enough to focus only on getting through my contractions. Nikki anticipated all my needs - timing my contractions on my phone, putting pressure on my lower back when I needed it and bringing me water and snacks to help keep my energy up. She worked very well with all the hospital staff and even stayed with us after the birth to help ease into the hospital and enjoy the moment. I highly recommend Nikki. She's the best!

The following is a copy of a message I sent to the three instructors at San Marcos Yoga. At first…read moreI started attending classes twice a week then three times a week. For the past four months, I go four times a week whenever possible. "A HUGE thank you for guiding me on a new journey that started one year ago. I thoroughly enjoy measuring my personal accomplishments from when I first began your classes on 12/6/2013. At a minimum, my strength, balance and concentration have all improved. I can add that my inner peace has been enhanced. When I walked to my car after my first class, I could not believe how great my body felt. It was as if, internally, things were rearranging to their natural working positions. Even though several of the positions are not comfortable, with your guidance, I see big improvements comparing December 2013 to December 2014. The positions are less uncomfortable and I can notice the progress, as I can turn a wooden block down one level, hold a pose longer and continue to learn to refine basic positions. Throughout my career, my most significant mentors would be with me, as that "little voice in my head" , speaking words of wisdom, guidance and reason. Now, when I realize I am slouching, one of your three voices pops into my head. I repose, stand up straight, broaden my chest, drop my traps, reposition my feet and say to myself, "that feels better!" I thank you three ladies for your passion to teach the practice of BKS Inyengar. It has been a pleasure learning from you. I look forward to accumulating many more anniversary dates."
