Encinitas is really nice so they have a great location! Parking available on the street, womens locker area also has shower and bathroom. The hot yoga class was solid however just way too hot for me as it was at probably 105F and with the humidity, was just too much for me. I used to practice this style a lot when I was in my 20s and 30s but lately I just dont enjoy how hot it gets, and because I sweat profusely, the shift in fluid loss and electrolytes is just too much for me. I usually have a headache after classes like these and thats what happened. I think I could have preemptively assumed this would happen and down a electrolyte pack (which I had on hand) but of course suffer fools gladly haha. Instruction was good and I deeply appreciated being able to practice on xmas! Thank you Yoga Tropics for being open on xmas. Id consider coming back to a less hot class. They also have a great intro offer which is $30 for 10 classes in 1 week, so you really can't beat that! Definitely give this place a try if you enjoy Bikram level hot!

Bubba's hot yoga class is my absolute favorite and I highly recommend checking his class out! He offers options for a challenging practice if you want it (but you can take it more modified if you don't). He is knowledgeable and gives clear instructions, making it easy to follow, disconnect, breathe, and fully work your body. He is super positive and just gives off a really great vibe. The brand-new heater makes the room wonderfully sweaty, enhancing the experience. This studio is truly one of the top yoga spots in Encinitas! I highly recommend checking out this studio!

As an added bonus Denise hosts classes all around Cardiff/Encinitas and occasionally on the beach at Swami's. Personally I never thought I would enjoy Yoga as much as I do. I credit these classes with that transformation.

My wife and I have been taking Yoga classes from Denise for more than a year. She puts her heart…read moreand soul into her teaching. She's passionate about yoga and works really hard to help her students progress. I had wanted to do yoga for years and knew that it would be good for me, but I didn't think that I'd get so much out of it. After a session I have the good warm feeling I get from going for a run and the relaxed feeling from taking a nap -- all at the same time. Denise's gentle corrections to my attempts at the poses and her encouragement to see how much more I'm capable of have been the cornerstone of my getting so much from my yoga practice. If you ever get the chance to take one of Denise's classes on the beach at Swami's, DO IT! What an experience!

Soleil Yoga is a very quaint studio located between the Starbucks & Cardiff Gym. It's very very…read morebasic, one room studio. I'm not sure if they have an agreement with the gym next door or not (it wasn't advertised if they are at the yoga studio), but the yoga studio itself has no extra amenities, so you will need to bring everything, such as a sweat towel, water and all that. The yoga instruction was great, and the class was full but not crowded. It can comfortably fit about 12 people I would say, so the classes are pretty small. I started with the intermediate vinyasa class, and it was the perfect level. The studio isn't heater, but it isn't cooled either, so it can still be pretty hot. They may heat it later in the year, but in September it was 90 outside, and felt around 80 in the studio, which is just right for me. It can get pretty noisy around the studio. Since it's right in the middle of a popular shopping center, you can hear everything going on around you. During our a class, a band started playing outside which was kind of distracting. The teacher ended up turning off his music so we didn't have two different musics going, and obviously had no control of the outside music. I was able to find parking, but I could definitely see it being an issue in the future. It's in a pretty busy shopping center with a medium sized parking lot. I brought my own mat, but they did have mats, blocks and bolsters you could use. Their fees for membership right now are VERY affordable, but I think it may be an opening offer, so I'm not sure how long they will last. I came here with a Groupon, but probably will not stay after my Groupon period is over. For me, I enjoy a few of the extra amenities that this studio doesn't have.

The first time I went to this yoga studio, I almost couldn't find it at all! It's a quaint,…read moreone-room little place, tucked away in a corner of this shopping center right next to Cardiffit Gym. Pros: I've been going here for a few weeks now, a couple times a week, and I've really enjoyed my classes. I've gotten to try some new stuff, it's not repetitive/formulaic at all, and the instructors are very personable and helpful. I've had one or two cramped classes but for the most part the numbers are manageable - probably about 15-20 people, max? I like the more intimate class sizes! It's also super affordable! I'm here on a Groupon, and for the quality of the class you get it's a good investment. Cons: It's right smack in the middle of everything (there's a grocery store next door as well) so it can get a little noisy outside. It's also a bit limited in terms of both class scheduling (I've had a bit of a struggle finding times that work for me) and space - there's no bathroom, for example, or anywhere to stash your stuff. One other thing I hate to point out is that the studio has that musty, people-have-done-a-lot-of-sweating-in-here smell that whacks you in the face when you first enter. You don't notice it after a couple minutes, once you're all settled in, but you do kind of have to brace yourself when you walk through the door. The gist: It's a cute little studio with some talented teachers, and I love that it's easy biking distance to my house, but I prefer something with a little more space. I'll probably go elsewhere once my Groupon ends.

Perfect way to start the day, with Beach Yoga. Parking is easy and always available. All classes…read moreare done on the sand in a designated area, close to the water. Most beach visitors arrive just as we finish, so we usually have the beach to ourselves. The yoga flow differs each session and really depends on who is in the group that day. Adrienne is not only a Yoga Instructor, but Physical Trainer as well; which makes her acutely aware of posture which assures no injuries. I just can't say how much I have enjoyed making this a part of my weekly work-out routine.

I came across Adrienne at her beach yoga class at Ponto Beach in Carlsbad. I could tell immediately…read moreshe was more than a yoga instructor. Adrienne has the calmness that is greatly appreciated in a yoga instructor however she is able to gently adjust your poses like a highly trained personal trainer would do. Once my husband and I got into discussions with Adrienne, we knew she would be a great option as a personal trainer when we were ready. I just finished five personal training session with Adrienne and I'm even more impressed at the conclusion of our workouts. She created a work out specifically for me and my healing foot injury. This definitely took some creativity on Adrienne's part and she adjusted it after each work out to better accommodate my needs and my work out. I'm already feeling stronger and more confident with a good foundation to move forward and continue to get my strength back. In addition to personal training, Adrienne also incorporates nutrition education and spends a good amount of time at each session to review and guide to realistic healthy decisions. She also has other resources that she happy to share. I couldn't get enough of her and her wealth of information! She is also very quick to respond to questions and emails suggestions and reminders to you. Whether you are an advanced athlete, getting back into shape or just starting, I highly recommend Adrienne as she will meet you where you are in your fitness and guide you into a real world plan for a healthier and more fit lifestyle.

They offer a wide arrange of styles of classes. They are the most diverse studio I've ever been to (skill level, body type, age range, etc). This studio truly is a community and I would recommend joining if you are new to town and looking for friends. They host a lot of community events outside of just yoga classes (book club, holiday parties, hiking, annual watermelon festival, etc) The owner is such a fun, eccentric baddie who wants to bring people together. It is by far the best deal for unlimited yoga in town. If you're coming from class pass I recommend double checking the class description on the website because I've noticed they don't always match up. I recommend Ashley or Drea's classes if you want a corepower style class.

I can't recommend his classes enough!

I recently started a workout regimen that includes yoga. in fact, it's only yoga right now. I was…read moreintroduced to Yoga Tropics a couple of years ago. I only went to one or two classes as I wasn't really focused on what the benefits of these workouts and exercises were at the time. However, now a days, my old, achy muscles and bones can't keep up with the workouts I used to do in my younger years (running, weights, etc.). So when I was looking for something to get myself started back in shape, i called Yoga Tropics. Yoga tropics west is a sister location to Yoga Tropics, just a block away. It is by no means a lesser workout as many of the teachers teach at both locations. However, having another studio so close and a huge following of students, they've needed additional space to accommodate the demand. It's a blessing to have the additional studio so close as it's a great location, blocks from the beach and down the street from various delicious eateries. The classes are great! Being in a heated room over 100* really allows you to clear your pores and detox! Every time I finish a class it feels like i just walked out of a shower, with the amount of sweat dripping off of my body and soaked into my towel/ mat. The teachers lead and adjust poses of students along the way to ensure you're stretching/ focusing on appropriate muscles. They also have been really helpful in advising me how to adapt poses so I won't aggravate injuries. It's been both a learning and humbling experience at the same time as I slowly work myself into shape. Some old injuries have exposed themselves after years of being dormant. Luckily, the yoga poses don't over exert those injuries, but slowly stretch and heal. Been a good feeling to get back at it regularly. They offer a variety of options on memberships. The unlimited allows you to attend as many classes as you like from the schedule of about 75/ week. I find it a much better deal than paying per class. It's a family run business that truly deserves a look if you want a low impact, stress relief, body toning workout! Keep on Yelp'n!
