Yoga Shala

The LiveMetta Pilates & Yoga studio is an exquisite shala in Laguna Beach. This location offers two studio spaces, one dedicated to Pilates, and one for yoga. Both studios are bathed with natural sunlight that shines in through the windows, offering a glow while you flow. I love the calming energy of the yoga studio. To enter, one must pass through a grand set of massive wooden doors, where you will be greeted by views of the ocean, lined with the California palm trees. A platform in the center of the room houses a beautiful sculpture of Ganesha, beside this altar, a glass case replete with crystal sound bowls and musical instruments charges in the corner, in addition, throughout the room candles lay placed in symbolic patterning. A separate studio down the open air walkway, the Pilates room, boasts numerous reformers and specialty equipment. A selection of vibrant green plants spring from modern wooden frames along the walls, and the gentle waves of the ocean lapping against the shore can be heard. Among the instructors Lisa Montano is an excellent for foundational instruction of Pilates. Kylie Swenson's Pilates classes were fun and fast paced, with an invigorating energy that made you want to get up and move! JoAnna Haszek is an incredible Iyengar instructor, a great practitioner and teacher, that really guides clients into accessible ways to incorporate postures and evolve their practice. Iram Cheema's Kundalini, Breathwork, Sound, and Meditation classes are inspirational. I was fortunate enough to attend Iram's kundalini classes at both the Laguna Beach and Laguna Hills LiveMetta locations, and each class she leads always is transcendent and authentic to the Kundalini practice. Jenny Day's Pilates classes are joyous, progressive, and delightful, the energy she brings to her classes is exuberant! Rana Nader and Christine Hardy both offer sound baths which are soulful and soothing. Cynthia Neilson's Iyengar class offers powerful techniques for practitioners to delve further into their practice. Greg Bliss's Flow class provided a range of sequencing that allowed for heart expansion, breath awareness, and interesting postural transitions. Benecia Gutierrez's Reformer Sculpt classes are great for toning and building strength, she scaffolds these Pilates classes in a way that cultivates transformation. I highly recommend the Laguna Beach LiveMetta Pilates & Yoga studio for Yoga and Pilates. I truly have enjoyed learning from, and practicing with, these lovely instructors at this gorgeous location in Orange County.

Namaste!!

Try a week of classes for free and you'll see that there is so much more to yoga, so much more you can get out of a single practice. Sure, you'll get a great workout at a lot of places, but you'll only get an authentic, comprehensively mental, physical, and spiritual practice here. In this impeccably clean, nurturing, sacred space, you will cultivate a yoga practice that improves your physical fitness safely, without injury. You will focus your mind, find your center, and cultivate mental focus in a way you never have before. I always feel amazing after every class! The teachers here have decades of experience and wisdom passed down from ancient masters, so you know you're getting the real deal. Through thoughtful modifications and adjustments, I feel like I'm getting the individual attention of a private class every time, no matter how many people are in the room.

I'm very grateful for this valuable experience. I took 14 classes and 11 different instructors and I must say all of the instructors were amazing! Each of the instructors had something unique and wonderful to offer. I felt safe and knew their instructors were well educated. I'm excited to go and take more classes! Thank you LiveMetta!

Absolutely horrible customer service. I've been trying to cancel my membership for weeks, and…read moredespite repeatedly trying to get in contact with the studio, I couldn't get a response until literally ONE DAY before my membership ended. When they finally contacted me, I was told I suddenly owed $160 for classes I had taken. The problem? The last time I spoke with someone, I was told the amount would be $119. So somehow, after I spent weeks trying to get this resolved and THEY failed to get back to me, the amount increased by $41. I'm not upset that I have to pay for classes I actually took -- I'm upset that the amount changed and that I was left trying to chase down the studio for weeks just to cancel my membership. If I had been given the correct information and actually received a response when I first reached out, this could have been resolved much earlier. The classes themselves may be fine, but the customer service and communication are extremely frustrating. I should not have to repeatedly chase a business down to cancel a membership, only to be contacted at the last minute and told I owe more money than I was previously quoted. Really disappointing experience and definitely not the kind of customer service I expected.

This was my second full yoga class in my life…read more I took one a week ago and on that Saturday 8/16 felt out of sync, a spectator and wanted to quit at the 26 and 34 minute mark. I did finish that hour long class but not till today, till I experienced Corepower Yoga Mission Viejo's 11 am Community Flow with heat did I get excited, understand it better, connect with what the stellar teacher Danica was saying, moved better, was pumped , was happier and loved the entire 60 plus minutes of sweat and movement. I loved that Danica repeated " at your own pace and do move as far as you can for eg; She was so authentic and kind. She spoke from the heart and connected the class's theme and message to real life using her own example. This stiff 405 pound bench pressing, 1/2 marathon and 5 K running, 3 hours of racquetball playing wanna be muscle head moron found himself starting to get the leg up in certain positions, actually touch my toes without screaming , move better with the stretching and the heat. I felt the crunches today. I mean having a leg up and then going across with the hand behind the head left to right and vice versa was work but lovely! I am hooked. I loved this. The studio was beautiful. They had cleaning supplies and ample wipes visibly available.The lobby area was clean and inviting. The men's locker room was modern with showers and nice lockers. CorePower Yoga Mission Viejo offers classes for all levels. They also have mats and towels available. The first visit either one was free. I had a beautiful experience.

We made it to class on time and the doors were locked. We tried calling and knocking but no one…read moreopened the door. Never seen a pilates studio lock doors on customers.
