The instructors are knowledgeable, attentive, and great at meeting you wherever you are in your practice, whether you're brand new or have been doing yoga for years. The classes strike the perfect balance between strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, and the mountain setting adds an extra layer of peace you don't get anywhere else. I always leave feeling more centered, energized, and grateful I showed up. If you're a local or just visiting Big Bear, this studio is absolutely worth making time for. It's become a highlight of my routine up here.

Mountain Yoga Center has become the gold standard and center of my weekly routine. This studio is…read moretruly special and offers varying levels of classes. The instructors are each wonderful and unique, bringing a variety of yogi backgrounds making each class a bit different for us students and ultimately an exciting and fun challenge. I personally love mixing up my week alternating Vinyasa 1-2 with Gentle Flow or Restorative. Candlelight Flow is another favorite! Pilates and Beginner Yoga are also offered each week, and amazing Soundbath classes. Another brilliant 'plus' about MYC is the option to take classes virtually (Zoom). Almost every class in-studio is also offered online! Super convenient on work & travel days. Whether you reside in Big Bear or are just visiting town, I think you will love your visit to this charming studio!

There were fans high in the ceiling too but couldn't feel the air at all so laying there staring at bright lights and spinning fans . It wasn't relaxing or peaceful. Way too many early stretching into the practice and hardly any yoga moves . If it's daylight , why put on the ceiling lights at all? I was disappointed as this class was too basic and not what I was hoping for at all. Wish the studio was different because then I would definitely return and take a different yoga class.

Simply love this place! I was afraid I'd be intimidated because I haven't taken a yoga class for 12…read moreyears. The instructions and people in classes are so friendly. I started with a beginner class and have been hooked, their 30 for 30 special is good for new students too. They have blankets/blocks for you to use or you can bring your own. I have felt comfortable each time and look forward to each class and how good I feel afterwards. Thanks for providing a good and comfortable place to take classes in, with great instructors who direct classes professionally. Good music choices too!

We reserved a private yoga session with Salila for a bachelorette party in Joshua Tree…read more I opted out of the session because I had done a yoga session for a bachelorette before and wanted to take photos for our group. Having learned yoga in a college course and practicing on my own, I will say that Salila made me wish I had actually done the yoga with the group. Salila was an incredible and sweet instructor. She was patient and adjusted her class according to the comfort levels of her student but still went through a good amount of poses. She ended the session with a heartwarming meditation dedicated to our bride-to-be that made her tear. Afterwards, Salila chatted with us and we learned all about her pet squirrel, who is deservingly spoiled, and Salila's athletic journey. I highly recommend Salila's classes!

I took three classes during my time in Joshua Tree, two in the studio and one outside- a yoga/hike hybrid. The instructors were warm and knowledgeable. If you are expecting hot power flow that isn't the vibe here and it was a lovely place to keep my practice up while in town. $15 for a drop-in.

I like how they have alternatives if you want to further your stretch. The downfall is that the space is very small and you can comfortably fit 6-8, but this place is so popular they'll max out at 12-14. However, no matter how large or small the class is you still get a great session overall. I recommend showing up 20-30 mins prior to get a good spot.

She teaches everyone at their own level and keeps the classes small so you always get some personal instruction. There are special events and coffee in the mornings, yay!

The instructor turned on the fans in the hot class about halfway through, I literally went for the hot class. There's no showers or lockers and no one knew we were supposed to take blocks out to be cleaned. I would have purchased a package but no one was at the desk after and no one followed up with me.

I hadn't ever had a yoga membership before this and now I'll never be without one. The ambiance of the studio is very calming, smells of essential oils fill the air and though classes fill up it is never uncomfortable. Instructors are all amazing, especially Shayna! Her classes will always be my favorite to attend.

I also love how the challenging nature of the classes is balanced with a calm, warm, and comfortable studio environment. I've been doing yoga for almost 15 years now and this is tied (with my first hot yoga studio in Albuquerque, NM) for my favorite studio of all time. You rock, Tula! Other stuff: - I love the classes from Angelique and Frank the most but I've truly never had a bad instructor. Laurel and Kyra are excellent too. - This studio offers a ton of different classes at different times. (I first started coming here because it was the only studio in the Redlands/Riverside area that offered evening hot yoga classes that worked with my work schedule.)

I just took my second class at Peaceful Warrior Yoga in Apple Valley. It was fantastic, as was the…read morefirst. It's located in the historic Apple Valley Inn business park, on the left side by the big main restaurant building. The studio exterior is painted light blue, so it's easy to spot. They require very instructor to have a 200 hour certification, and wow, can you tell and feel the difference that level of training makes. Their cueing was precise and easy to follow without looking. Both instructors at the classes I took were kind, gentle but challenging, and encouraging in the more challenging poses. They explained each pose so clearly, with a constant reminder to breathe, that a beginner could easily follow along and feel great about it. I didn't think I'd be able to do some of the longer holds, but she gave authentic encouragement and I did!! The studio itself is serene, smells heavenly, and feels calm and refreshing. You can feel the intention to be true to the tenants of yoga and it's incredible physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits. The yoga room is airy and bright, with floor to ceiling picture windows with drapes to darken the room when needed. Plenty of space around you to breathe, move, and you won't get sweat on by your neighbor. Complimentary hot tea available. The yoga room is tech/phone/distraction free... You'll find no gym-feel here. No competitiveness, no mirrors, no selfies, no one trying to outdo the other. They've made the intention and tone obvious. For YOU to meet YOURself on YOUR mat... get quiet and in touch with what's going on inside, move it through and make space for more juicy goodness. The highly trained instructors guide you not only the physical poses, but continually offer the mindset of yoga as well. It's a huge difference. I'm already in love with this studio. I think you will be too.

Upon entering I felt out of place because the sign on the door says to take off your shoes and to…read moreturn off your phone. Thankfully there is an area to walk on before removing one's shoes. The owner, Beth, is very warm and personable! She made sure that she had memorized my name before my first class was over. Yoga tends to be one of the most kind and helpful things that I feel I can do for my body. The deep stretching gives me plenty of endorphins and certain poses strengthen my entire body. I appreciate that I don't need to mess with any weights or machines! I get to challenge myself to breathe past the pose holding and find myself looking and feeling much better! Including my forever aching hips! Even just showing up once a week! My only reservation is that the studio was a bit chilly (which is often nice when my body is warmed up and I'm sweating though!) I can not recommend it enough!
