Came here here for a free class with my cousin. Apparently if you have a membership here you can…read morebring a guest for free to a class each week! That's pretty awesome. The class I came to was a tootsie roll yoga class. It starts off with some regular yoga and then it turns into an intense foam rolling session. After just getting off a plane, this was a necessary class. The instructor, Anna, really gets you to roll into all your hard to reach places. I've used the foam roller at the gym by myself, but nothing like this. Afterwards, I felt like 1. I actually did a workout and 2. that my body was weirdly relaxed. I was sweating but my muscles felt better than ever. Just from a single class, I could tell that Anna instills a sense of community with her classes. She chatted with me as I was signing up and afterwards she caught up with me and asked me how I liked the class, what I thought of San Diego and just general genuine kind conversation. As the previous class was leaving, I saw her talk to a few of the people as they were leaving and as the new class was coming in, she was chatting with people as they were coming in as well. Overall, one of the best yoga classes I've ever taken. Would highly recommend coming in and taking a class!

Stopped in this weekend to try the Prana Surf Essential Oils class with some friends on ClassPass…read more We were all excited to try a new studio, since one of my friends lives right up the street. The place is tucked into a little shopping center with tons of parking below. You can tell it is more of a hippie vibe than other studios I've been to (the teacher started class talking about the rooms aura). I would have liked a bit more hands on adjustments and a bit less chatting. The into email suggested walking, biking or carpooling and gave a free towel for class if you did so. I thought that was a nice gesture. We must have gotten there as a popular heated class was ending. When walking in the shirtless employees there were still dripping sweat off their faces and down their bodies as they help the next class check in. It was everywhere, literally dripping off of every exposed area of skin on them. The floor of the room was still wet when we were laying down our mats. I'm not typically bothered by sweating next to someone, but something about walking into the studio and seeing that at the front desk put me off. The tablet I used to sign the waiver was wet with this guys sweat. I was surprised to find the class was heated, since the description didn't say anything about that. I go to heated classes at Yoga Six regularly, so I was ok, but I was not fully prepared for it hydration wise and wish I had been forewarned. When getting to the class itself, there were some great postures. The music was good, and the teacher moved us through some tricky postures very well. When concentrating on my practice, I felt that it was a good use of time. I am used to a bit more "flow" and less "do this, now stand up and do this" but I understand that every practice is different. The class ended with a cool towel, which was lovely. To be honest the hard part was not the yoga, but literally everything else. I struggled with this review, but settled on three stars after taking everything into consideration. When we were told to clean off the blocks I followed people to the back of the room to see how that was done. There were two buckets, one presumably with cleaner and one with plain water. They seemed to have been used quite a bit already, and the process of dunking the blocks into the two was my least favorite part of this experience. It makes me wonder if other studios clean their blocks, and if so if this is how. I may be purchasing my own blocks after this. I popped into the bathroom to wash my hands after cleaning the blocks, and found it to be below par. Semi clean with various items and dust about. The soap did not feel like it helped, and I was just happy to get out of there at this point. Overall a small local studio that was friendly but missing the ambiance I'm looking for. In my mind just an A-Ok experience, and one I won't be repeating here.

This studio has a wood plank looking anti microbial flooring with lines to help line feet up on, small intimate studio, far infrared heating systems with a LUNOS heat system that maintains the heat in the room and exchanges it every 70 seconds with fresh air from outside. This studio is the only one with a LUNOS system in the San Diego area. This heating system has me sweating by the end of the breathing warm up! I stay sweating all the way through posture 26. After the 90 minute class you are handed a lavender scented refrigerated washcloth for your face while relaxing in Savasana...that alone is what sold me on this studio. A new student special of $45 is such a nominal cost for the detail that goes into this studio. If you are new to the Bikram philosophy, this is not like other yoga classes and it is worthwhile to give it a go...if you are familiar with bikram, plan on attention to detail, always Improving your practice and consistency with this studio. Parking is not an issue here. Plenty of parking available, doors are locked during yoga session. No Mindbody online to book...just show up. I am so happy with the results so far by getting back into bikram yoga for mind body reasons. Your focus is only on you in the mirror, no judgements, just trying the best you can for that moment. Come on an empty stomach, bring a yoga mat, a towel, water bottle, and be hydrated. Namaste

With NO mildew and other smells it makes it a real plus to practice there. She has artwork in the entrance making it lovely to enter there, and a window in the classroom for natural light to enter while you practice. Second, I am so grateful to have a studio in Encinitas where they teach the original Bikram sequence of 90 minutes, and not some modified version. Lisa is true to the practice that has helped many people regain their health and well-being. My vitals which have not been normal for years, were perfect in a recent check up. What a testament to how the changes happen on the inside too. The third reason I recommend this studio, is that Lisa encourages us to go at our own pace, and take breaks if needed. Her interests are foremost in everyone's well being. If you aren't having a great day, you can show up anyway. Just get your practice in - tomorrow is another day. She understands and accepts where people are at, and she encourages everyone to do their best, in the meantime promoting the "form" that ensures healthy knees, neck, spine etc. The fourth reason I recommend the studio, is that it is not a place that attracts people who are all about the ego. You can be yourself there, and be somewhat reassured that others there with you are intent upon their own practice and not looking to leave an impression. The fifth reason, is that Lisa provides additional activities for her students from time to time, invites guest instructors, and keeps her business fresh with improvements, incentive challenges, and a warm friendly greeting and smile when you come in. You get the impression that she cares deeply and wants the best for her students. I could go on, but it is probably best that you head on over and try it yourself to see what you think.

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!

Parking can sometimes be a little…read morebit of a challenge depending on the time of day but it is a really easy location and centrally located to LoCosta Ave and El Camino. You can get your groceries and gas up on your way out. Instructors: I have had the pleasure of meeting a few and the staff is super nice and knowledgeable. Studio: There are 2 practice rooms with heat in both and radiate from the ceiling. There are NO fans and every class ends up being hot yoga. So if you are not up for the heat, the owner has not found a sustainable way to keep the treatment rooms a normal temperature below 90s (seriously and literally). Several complaints have been made but not yet resolved. Weights are available for sculpting classes. Sound system is good. I wish they had some singing bowls or some items for a little more classic anchor but the variety of classes are decent. I would say it's geared more towards those that are more advanced and practice several times a week. Studios are clean and tidy. Storage for your belongings are upfront with some cubbies that have locks. There is also a restroom for quick change and showering. Boutique up front, waters for purchase at $4 each. May rental at $4 each. Normal Core Power Yoga app to schedule your attendance or cancel. Online on-demand classes as well. Late cancellation Carrie's changes. Check the app. I'm glad they opened this location. We were needing a closer option in Carlsbad.
