Absolutely love the All level flow with sound bath Savasana class with Nicole. It's the perfect pace for my body to reset and her voice is so calming. The studio is simple, clean, inviting and has the perfect lighting. They also have bricks, straps, and blankets which is a nice thing not to have to haul around. I feel like I'm floating when I leave class. read more

Welcoming, great flow and sound bath. I'll be attending again. Convenient location near coffee shops and a variety of breakfast spots. read more

Black Sheep Yoga - Cute location nearby coffee and post yoga breakfast. - Yoga Near Me - Oceanside, California

I absolutely love Black Sheep Yoga! I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years and have explored so so many studios throughout San Diego County - and BSY is one of the best! I love how relaxed, unpretentious, and welcoming all the teachers and other students are. I really have enjoyed all of the classes and teachers, but my very favorite teachers are Erich and Barb. Erich is so intentional and attentive and makes me feel more connected to self and universe. Barb has phenomenal sequences and is so skilled in her focus on alignment. She's also super engaging and fun. Thank you for your offerings! read more

Taking Natalie's flow class! I love taking classes here. Great atmosphere and awesome instructors ‍ read more

I'm not an expert on yoga studios but this one is a gem. This yoga studio in Oceanside offers menu yoga classes. The instructors are very nice yoga teachers and the yoga studio is very clean. Cozy and nice yoga studio. The owner is extremely nice and satisfying in oh so many ways. She helps every customer with yoga classes and questions regarding yoga. She answers the phone very professionally with yoga class customers. Recommend this yoga studio highly. read more

I love Meg's class. She is down to earth and very cool. I feel so stretched and refreshed after her classes. I especially appreciate she will add one new move to try. She encourages but doesn't push. read more

It was good class. I took a trip on July 4th weekend to avoid fireworks for my dogs and I stayed in Carlsbad. I needed to take yoga class and I took one class there. The lady at desk was nice and it could be the owner. I was just got there right before the class since I'm not familiar around that area but she welcomed me. The class wasn't too challenging but I didn't mind. I do t have to take tough classes all the time and also the teacher(I couldn't ask her name) has nice pace. The coffee place next to this studio seems popular so I wish I had coffee there but I didn't feel I want some coffee after doing something nice to my body. I parked on street and I was lucky to find the spot right in front. I would come back if I will be this area in the future. read more

Black Sheep is the only yoga studio I've gone to and I love it! It has a variety of classes, amazing teachers, and such a welcoming atmosphere. Every level is welcome and accepted without judgement. Highly recommend! read more

Great community yoga studio right in the hustle bustle of Coast Hwy. It's street parking only, but that was never a problem to find something within a block away. It's right next to a clothing store that plays loud upbeat music, which was both fun and distracting during practice. Distractions were kind of the norm of my experience here. My first class someone arrived late and kept banging on the door and made the teacher stop class to let her in; once she was in, she plopped down in the middle of the room and kept getting up and walking back and forth to the back to fiddle with her keys, phone, and water bottle. Another class someone walked in the back door during class and interrupted class to ask the teacher questions about the studio. But hey, it's yoga and you just go with the flow. They have such a welcoming environment and cater to a variety of yogis. All the classes were great, but pretty mellow for my taste. Ultimately I want to leave a class feeling like I worked out, and that just wasn't the case here. The exception was Lex -- she did a flow+ class that incorporated a workshop-like approach to advanced poses. I loved her classes. read more

Fun yoga classes in a perfect location!! Awesome coffee shops next door too . Give extra time to find parking before class ! read more

Black Sheep Yoga - Front - Yoga Near Me - Oceanside, California

Love this studio. It is a true yoga community. It takes a village mentality. Many new teachers to pick from. Not the same teacher 3 days in a row. Plenty of variety and all teachers are respectful and ask before moving to your space for any hands on adjusting. One disappoinment is we have an amazing teacher that started doing some limited "optional" partner yoga poses. The class loved it the energy was fun and it was a real community bonding part of the class. Sadly one student that came once and did not participate "again it was stated optional" wrote a bad review and now all teachers are banned from doing any partner poses. I hope they reconsider. I was invited to another studio today and they did partner yoga poses. I got to meet a 75 year old woman Russian school teacher who became my partner. It was a truly community bonding experience. Overall I love Black Sheep community. For those that are new, if you don't love a teacher or a specific pose. Pic another teacher no need to write a negative review. Negative energy does not fit with one core value in yoga. Not to say we should all stuff our feelings but a simple comment to the owner directly or the teacher. Negative reviews effect everyone. If I find myself angry at my teacher. Its not the teacher it's something in me. 99% of the time. Namaste. read more

This studio is an incredible space - the owner is phenomenal and the teachers are beyond kind and patient. Highly recommend to everyone in the area! read more

A place to go for restorative or yin classes in the evening. They will prepare you for a good nights sleep, the kind where you won't be counting sheep. Black Sheep Yoga is located on one of the best city blocks in Downtown Oceanside, NCSD. A free tiny library, handmade goods and a coffee roaster steps away. Easy parking for evening classes as most businesses close by 6pm. I felt right at home the moment I stepped into the studio. The husband and co-owner told me his wife and owner would be teaching the evening restorative class on my first visit. I loved how they set up the props needed in advance. a nice touch. The class was thoughtful and relaxing. At the end of shavasana chimes were used. I liked the sound so much I inquired about them. They are called Koshi chimes and they come from France. There are four different sounds, representing the four elements. Air, Earth, Fire and Water. You can view them online and play a video clip of the sounds they create. I was attuned to "air"which is not surprising based on my astrological sign. They don't sell them in the studio but the info was provided., They have a variety of merchandise; cute tops, fun leggings and yoga inspired jewelry are just several items; just breathe and go with the flow, are good messages in practice. Great prices too. The class was full, the energy was positive and the owners were present. What more could you ask for besides a good nights sleep...aromatherapy perhaps? #Oceanside #NCSD #BlackSheepYoga #GetSomeZzzzzz #EveningYoga read more

See all

I've been coming here on a drop-in basis a few times a year for the entire time Black Sheep has been open. Up until recently I had mostly really good experiences here. My only concern in the past has been that the restroom is IN the studio, so there are some sanitation issues when people are going in and out of it barefoot, but that's not even my problem here. Earlier this year, I went to a restorative class that was so packed that I had to do legs up the wall on some kind of electrical box/tubing, so they don't seem to have appropriate capacity limits, but that's not a huge deal. Then, about a month ago, I took a class where the teacher had people pair up and physically stretch each other, which was so jarring and uncomfortable. If I had known they were going to do that I just wouldn't have come. The teacher also pulled her phone out and seemed to be recording people doing these exercises. All of it felt so intrusive and inappropriate, especially without prior warning. I decided to go back because, as I said, I've gone here sporadically forever and mostly had good experiences. This time the teacher was a little off with her instruction and too quiet to hear, but that's not where I had a problem. There was a kid under 7 in the room! The child spent half the class running around the back pulling blocks off the shelf. I couldn't focus the entire time because of it and the fact that the studio let that happen is insane. Still giving it 3 stars because it's a good resource for the community, but the quality of classes is getting so iffy that I can't see myself going back again, which is a huuuuuge bummer. read more

They have a good variety of classes and instructors! It's a pretty spacious studio. They seem to have a good amount of times available throughout the days. I think my favorite class is with an instructor who I believe her name is Elexis. At the end she treats everyone to a song which is delightful and so unique! The only down side, parking can be a little challenging since it's on Coast Highway. Usually, there are spots throughout the neighborhood. Give yourself extra time to find parking. Also, they don't have a place to re-fill your water bottle. They do sell water for $1 so bring some $ if you need to re-fill/purchase some water. Also, cool things for sell there too like jewelry, gifts, merchandise, etc. read more

I been to this studio a couple times and it's amazing. The yoga instructors are very kind and the studio has maintained a clean and peaceful environment. read more

This place is like my sanctuary! I love this community of people. I hadn't taken any yoga classes in a while and my friend convinced me to try it out. Despite my reluctance- I was pleasantly surprised this gem is in O'side! Yes parking can be an issue but there's plenty within a short drive or I plan ahead and rarely have an issue. This is such a special place and the people are kind and considerate. Always welcoming and accommodating. The instructors are soulful and care about the student experience. In the past 8 months, I go about 3-4 times a week, I have had the space to create my own practice within the class. Even though there's others around me, most every class feels like my own private session. read more

I absolutely love this studio. I have been to candlelight stretch and restore with Sharon a number of times. This class is just what I need to relax and restore. I started going because I had an injury and had some flexibility/ mobility issues. This was really helpful for that injury. I continue to go to practice self care, I work at a computer all day and get tense and tired.I always feel refreshed and peaceful after a class. I feel like it is a physical and mental readjustment! I love that the practice is done at our own pace and comfort level, and that Sharon explains the why for each pose. Thank you Black Sheep! read more

Sent an email to them, still have not received a reply. Not good when you cannot take the time to answer a couple of simple questions. Was looking for a Yoga Studio for my son. Sad when you try to stay local and they do not respond to your questions. Maybe business is so good, they don't need new customers. read more

Warm reception. Competent teachers. Caring atmosphere. Great place to move , meditate, decompress. read more

Great classes, Fair rates, friendly reasonable staff! This place is the bomb the vibe is right and the location is great too! Better open to all the corporate BS! Locally owned and operated. Hidden gem of Oside! read more

Beautiful amazing studio with experienced instructors. Very welcoming and safe environment. Love my practice at Black Sheep Yoga!

Ariana (the owner) is amazing! She is so inviting, and we are so grateful!!! Definitely check out Black Sheep Yoga.

What a great spot! The owner was super sweet as well and nice coffee shops and stores nearby :)

Black Sheep Yoga is a great yoga studio! They have knowledgeable and amazing teachers and variety of classes.

We took the rise and shine yoga class. It was a wonderful way to start the morning - not too intense but not too slow. Beautiful studio space. read more

The new owner, Arianna, went above and beyond to join my employer's fitness program. I've throughly enjoyed each class! The instructors are so nice, they offer a great variety of classes and it just has a really good vibe! Love going there! read more

I've been going to Black Sheep for almost a year now and it has been the most wonderful journey. When I first walked in with a Groupon, I had never done yoga before and had no idea what to expect. I'll admit that I was completely lost that first class, but I never felt like I was holding anyone back and the teachers will help you with modifications if you need them. I've seen the studio go through some changes, both in class availability and ownership and so far all the transitions have been smooth. One thing I love it that the instructors are so friendly. I'm friends with at least two of them on Facebook, instructors make an effort to know who you are, and there is a real family atmosphere among everyone that attends. I'm absolutely hooked on yoga now and am even thinking of a long term goal of learning how to teach. It's hard to make exercise a priority, but when you have so much fun it really becomes addictive. When I started the studio had a different owner, so this may no longer be true but they were able to work out a really good deal with me for paying up front and doing a year pass. For Beginners: Don't be shy! Everyone has to start somewhere and you'll feel comfortable and safe in this studio. I recommend taking one of their foundations classes or an all-level flow with Ashley your first time (I started with rock n roll and it was challenging). You can rent a mat but I would say you should buy one, since they do get pretty sweat-drenched. Bring water (you can buy this there too if you need to) and a hand towel. You might not need these things every time, but it never hurts to be prepared. Also let the instructor know that you are new so they can give you extra instruction and show you how to use blocks if you need them. Enjoy! For Yogis: This is a great place to get deeper in your practice. They now offer "level 2/3" classes which are more advanced. They always look out for your safety and offer lots of variety in their classes. Karin and Patrick tend to teach the more advanced classes so look for them. They also do workshops for an extra fee and sometimes do special themed classes (like a radiohead sesh for example). Savasanas are usually long enough to actually enjoy and classes range from Yin to Rock n' Roll. It does get crowded sometimes but I've never yet seen it so full that they had to turn anyone away. read more

I have been a student at the studio for a bunch of years now. I enjoy the variety of classes and the variety of teachers. I especially enjoy the Special Events that have been held including paddle boarding, beach parties, and a yoga retreat in Nicaragua. Black Sheep is an important part of the South O community. read more

Having a desire to get myself physically and mentally fit, accustomed to participating in Kung-Fu when I resided in O.C., Black Sheep Yoga Studio is something I wanted to try and glad I did. On first visit, felt very comfortable with staff and other students practicing yoga. Never pushed and never rushed. Enrolled in the two week unlimited for a nominal fee to see if I liked it. Good way to start to see if it fits you and your schedule. Different teachers there are giving variety to this activity. And now coming up on a month of participation, I found my resting heart rate is lower. My bone density, and muscle mass has increased. And my body fat and metabolic age has decreased. If you follow anyone one in endurance sports, many of the successful athletes use yoga as part of their training regimen. Yoga was recommended to me by a doctor friend of mine, who from his experience, found health benefits; loss of fat and muscle gain; not to mention quieting the mind for those with ADD or ADHD without drugs. Black Sheep Yoga Studio has no mirrors in the studio for those self-conscious individuals. And most of all, very relaxed there. No phones ringing, strangers yakking, babies crying, or any other disruptive sounds. Remember: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Hope to see you there! read more

I have been to about 20 yoga studios throughout south and north San Diego and have gone to classes on and off for 4 years. Trying out all styles from bikram, hot vinyasa, cold yoga, etc and never really found a home or desire to commit to a consistent practice. No studio compelled me to become a reoccurring member who paid dues. When I made a permanent move to Oceanside a year ago I never dreamed that I would find a place to practice as inviting, fun, and easy going as Black Sheep. I now have a reasonably priced monthly membership and go about 4-5 times a week. The 6:30am class with Patrick is a must and so are the 9:00am weekend classes. Prepare to work when Patrick is teaching and bring a towel. You will feel fantastic after! Sharon, Kelly, and Whitney have great classes as well throughout the week and focus on proper alignment and breathing. I like to alternate their classes in place of the more rigorous ones and you will definitely feeling like you're floating on a cloud after. If you were like me and never really figured out whether you love yoga, try Black Sheep! No egos, no pressure, go as deep as you wanna go, and lots of kik yur assana classes! read more

After my physical therapist said that yoga would be a great long term solution for my neck and shoulder, I found Black Sheep yoga in South Oceanside. The instructors are all experts and there are varied classes and yoga packages. This was much needed overall therapy for me and since I started in May 2022, I have been a regular ever since. Try it you'll love it! https://www.blacksheepyogastudio.com/ read more

loved doing yoga here, they are really nice and sweet here and make you feel at home. plus the classes are awesome. highly recommend!

My partner and I have been coming to this yoga studio for a few years. The instructors are all top notch! We always learn new things and feel great after a class. The yoga community here is always inviting too. Try it out! read more

Sometimes you can hear people on the other side of their wall... it can be distracting. They pack you in there pretty tightly. I once took a class with Candace last year and it was terrible. The music was too loud and you couldn't hear her instructions. I tried telling her during class, but was dismissed. Overall it's an ok studio, I've been to better. I like it, but don't love it. read more

Cute studio with great teachers. Attended a sound bath, vinyasa and a 108 event. Parking can be hard to find in the area because of the other business in the area take the lot and depending on the time of class you may hear their neighbors. read more

Incredible service. I never had the opportunity to use the studio as I purchased a membership not realizing my location. I'm very new to the area and loved the vibe of this studio. I purchased and realized it was too far to commit to a full membership. I submitted a request and right away they helped me out & im grateful for their understanding. read more

I've been enjoying classes at Black Sheep Yoga for over a year now and really love the relaxed vibe and convenient schedule. There's so many great instructors and class styles to choose from, plus they have lots of class times every day which is important. Everyone is so nice and the space is beautiful. Lots of street parking too. LOVE their new class on Saturdays 4-5pm...Yoga For Athletes...It's breath focused and slightly heated room. It's just right in combo in my opinion, not too fast, not too slow, mindful motion and connecting the breath like a moving meditation. I was able to get better alignment and go deeper into the poses. They also sell some pretty cool stuff here and it seems like I'm always going home with some yoga clothes :-) All the classes and teachers here are great, so definitely give this place a try. There's also a great acupuncture and massage place next door and coffees houses if you want hang out and chill afterwards or grab some breakfast. Its a real cool community of folks. read more

This location is has such an amazing atmosphere! I'm really happy I tried the monthly membership! Thank you for all your fun and exiting classes. I feel so relaxed! read more

This little studio is a gem. Not only is it packed with classes from morning to night, the variety of the classes are great. Every teacher I've taken classes with at BlkShp conveys a sincere presence to the practice. I'm always greeted with a welcoming smile. read more
