As a beginner I asked if they offer beginner classes and was told by instructor that there is no such thing as beginner Pilates. Needless to say it wasn't the right fit for me. I felt like a complete idiot and failure being unable to do most of the routine. After reading the reply from ritual reform, there are a couple of things I wanted to clarify. I am indeed in the system and use my middle name on my Yelp. Also, the beginner class is an introductory class to show you how to use the equipment moving forward. There are no classes modified for a beginner or novice Pilates student on the regular schedule . thank you.

So happy I added something new in my workout routine! I've attended multiple other studios and…read moreworkouts, and these classes are some of the toughest I've done. My core, booty, and overall strength have made solid gains since coming here. The classes can be intimidating at first, but I highly recommend working through that uncomfortable period. These classes are challenging, but they also build your confidence in trying new things. If you want to add to your fitness level or push yourself to do something new, this place is great!

Went back twice, first just to see what goodies they had and the following day before we left, to get produce and gifts. Loved their gifts, local pottery and candles. We also tried their canned Alaskan salmon the day before (had it as a snack) and ended up getting an entire case! Their fresh produce is all grown locally in SLO and we just about finished everything but the green onions. If you are looking for some fresh produce in downtown, this is the place to support. Also loved the shop ladies who were so nice and wrapped up the gift I bought. Thank you!

Beautiful yoga studio! Great yoga instructors! Overall fantastic vibe!…read more It was only my second time doing yoga ever. The very first time was yearssss ago during one of the complimentary session with YEE. The hubby was actually the one pushing for us to do yoga together and especially to come here. He has heard great things from several of his coworkers and been on the hunt for a good yoga studio for a couple years now. Not exactly sure what to expect, I decided to try the Gentle Flow class first. It was a great re-introduction to yoga for me. The second time, we went with a more challenging class and did Vinyasa Flow. I did not expect to break a sweat, but it did kick my butt a little bit. Both instructors were knowledgeable and skilled. Their voices and tones were also perfect to create a calm/zen atmosphere. The yoga studio itself is super spacious and pretty open with all glass doors/windows on one side, and high/wooden ceiling. The classes do get full, but there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. A huge bonus is the home grown vegetables and fruits that the owners would bring in from their own farm. They're organic and at a very reasonable price too. They do have a pretty great schedule that offers multiple different classes each day for different levels. They also have excellent offer for new student, which I highly recommend signing up.

Going to The Yoga Lab has become an integral part of my routine, and I really can't imagine my week…read morewithout it. During my work day, class at the lab is something I'm always finding myself looking forward to. What I love most is the variety of classes available. On days when I need to decompress and relax, I can take a Restore or Stretch and Release class. Sara has such a calming presence and leads such a mindful, restorative practice; it's exactly what I need after a stressful day. On days when I'm craving more of a challenge and want to keep building strength, there's plenty of options. I always enjoy their hot yoga classes, and I've really come to love the newer Strength and Bar classes too. Beyond the classes themselves, the studio just has a wonderful environment. I always feel welcome the moment I walk in. I can't recommend The Yoga Lab enough!

I started at The Yoga Lab about 15 months ago, and before that, I was definitely NOT a yoga person…read more Now I can confidently say I am a yoga person! The Yoga Lab is just one of those places that feels so, so, SO good to walk into. From the instructors to the people taking classes alongside you, there's such a welcoming, supportive community. You never feel like you have to be at a certain level or know what you're doing to belong there. You can just show up as you are, and that's something I really love about it. The classes are welcoming and still challenging, and there is such a great variety. With both heated and non-heated rooms, there really are options for everyone. I especially love the strength classes, and I'm excited for more Pilates and Barre! And now with the addition of the sauna and red light therapy, there are even more ways to enjoy the space. I highly recommend taking advantage of the two-week trial. Try a little bit of everything! It gives you a chance to experience different instructors and styles and figure out what classes feel best for you. I never expected yoga to become such a regular part of my life, but 15 months later, here we are! The Yoga Lab has created a really special space and community, and I'm so happy to be a part of it. ‍

Change Your Life While Having Fun…read more.. My wife and I are seniors in our 70s, but remain active. I've gone to the gym 3 days a week for many years while she's taught Jazzercise and gone to Zumba classes for a long, long time. But something was missing. Pilates at Tabula Rasa is a kick in the pants. Pilates is meant to strengthen your core muscles. Between introductory sessions and a package of 10 classes for $275...all with the owner, Vanessa (although there are other trainers)... we've worked on things we didn't know existed. - Overall: 5 - Owner: 5+ - Getting Started: 5 - Range of Classes: 5 - Online Management: 5 - Yurt: 5 - Class Size: 5 - Personal Attention: 5+ - Cost: 4 - Location: 5 - Facilities: 5 - Parking in Dry Weather: 5 - Parking in Wet Weather: ? Pros: - The owner, Vanessa Dominguez, is amazing. Her knowledge, ability to explain and pay attention to each person even in a class of 2-6 people is uncanny. Her energy is breathtaking - literally. If we were back in the 1970s or 80s, Vanessa would be on TV with best selling videos. - Sample the equipment in her studio, ask whatever comes to mind and get a feel for what it's all about at no charge nor obligation. - There's a big range of classes at most hours of the day with several highly skilled and motivating instructors. - Managing your pilates schedule is simple, online and flexible. - All classes are behind Vanessa's house in a "yurt"...a big teepee shaped building with lots of equipment. It's actually quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning and a big fan dropping down from the center. - Classes are limited to 6 people, although most we've seen had 2-4. Lots of personal care if you need it and each session is tailored to the attendees. - Cost is not "cheap", but reasonable - Location is convenient for residents of Nipomo - it's within a mile of Trilogy and Black Lake - and not bad for those in Arroyo Grande. - If you're hungry, thirsty or need a bathroom, she's got feee snacks, water and facilities. - There's a big parking lot in front of Vanessa's house for cars and trucks. Con: - Yes, there's one con. The parking lot is not paved so when the rainy season arrives there will probably be lots of mud. Our weekly pilates session changed our lives. Now all we've got to do is find a good place to park when things are wet.

What I love is that you can try it out for free and then sign up for a long term basis and reap the benefits financially and physically. You will really enjoy this studio. Their offering of classes is really good considering how quaint the studio is and how small Orcutt is. It's not big so show up early and bring some extra cash if you go on a Friday and enjoy the food trucks that park directly on the other side of the street!
