I have been going to Mello Yoga since before the pandemic. Every teacher is stellar. Even in the more challenging classes, teachers offer lots of layers and options. There is no pressure to do anything you don't want to do or that doesn't feel good. Teachers give lots of cues on precise alignment and positioning, and they constantly walk around and check how everybody is doing. Flows are dynamic and creative. All teachers are super friendly and supportive! read more

such an amazing studio! has a variety of class types and all levels at a very reasonable price. all the instructors are amazing and everyone is super friendly. read more

I am in the area for 3 weeks house/pet-sitting and was looking for local yoga studios that wouldn't break the bank. I came across Mello Yoga and it was perfect. They offer a 1 month unlimited pass for $59 (which is a steal). I have made good use of this deal and have enjoyed every class I have attended so far. The teachers are really friendly and welcoming, as is the studio itself. It's very clean, calming and well appointed. I was also really pleased that it's an independent studio and not part of a large fitness chain. I would definitely recommend this yoga studio and when I'm in town, I'll definitely continue to drop-in. Also, easy parking! read more

I've attended a few classes here, and I've thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. The all-levels vinyasa classes are great for challenging yourself at your own pace, while the gentle flow classes offer a slower pace that still leaves you feeling stretched and refreshed. The studio's ambiance and decor create such a calming and welcoming atmosphere--it's a wonderful place to practice yoga! read more

Going on 4 months with this lovely studio! I joined as a full beginner at a time where I couldn't go anywhere due to severe panic attacks, but the atmosphere, the teachers, and the welcoming energy in the space, all have helped me significantly in recovery! I enjoy every class I enroll in, and I recommend this studio at the highest degree! read more

Thanks to Yelp or I would never knew there's a great yoga studio in my area. I come to this shopping center often for coffee and cake but never noticed there's a yoga studio up on the second floor. I haven't practiced yoga in a long time due to work travel. I joined the 7pm essential oil yoga class and oh my, it reminded me all the great things that yoga does to your mind and body. My body is usually very tense due to my work and it is really hard to focus on breathing. The instructor started the class with an essentially oil that helps to get your energy going, followed by one that will help you to focus, finally to wrap up with a very relaxing oil. During the class, instructor will come to help fix your pose (with your consent ahead). This is a brilliant idea to mix the oil and yoga together! I look forward to joining their other classes as I felt like my body is brand new the next day!!! read more

Thank you Yelp for allowing me to try Mello Yoga! I was able to register for my first class thanks to Mello Yoga's quick responding owner, Lisa. I attended their 5:30pm MY All Level Vinyasa class. I got there a few minutes early to get settled and take inventory of the space. This upstairs studio is so charming and very clean. Lety, our instructor was warm and welcoming and gave me a tour of the studio. The waiting area has a boutique with a few Mello Yoga branded items and yoga apparel. The yoga blocks, straps, and cleaning solution are neatly tucked to the side of the studio which I appreciated; it makes me feel like the staff and community of this studio practice cleanliness and respect this space. There were only 3 of us in the class but I do enjoy a less crowded class. It feels like a personal training session and Lety was a fantastic instructor. She was able to get me out of my comfort zone and (try) to do a tripod headstand. The cool lavender towel at the end was a nice finish to class! I'm excited to come back for my next class! read more

It was a disaster. Went to a couple of classes so far, some of them were popular, however, for almost none of sessions, the instructors would practice with you. Most of the time they only say the names of the postures without giving more detailed instructions on how to position your feet or so. And not even for once ever seen them adjusting the postures of the students, which is one of the things you'd expect going into an in person class. The only advantage of their classes over those voice recordings you can follow at home with is that you need to finish the 1-hour practice under the pressure of being in a group setting. Flow of sequences were weird and the pace was terrible. Was surprised didn't get injured a lot of the times. Giving it a four star rather than three only because some of the teachers seem to be nice. read more

This yoga studio is just awesome! Such positives vibes from the minute you walk in. The instructors are all friendly and amazing and they have a wide variety of classes and really cool workshops. Best of all their a/c works great and the parking is plentiful ! The owner, Lisa, is super warm and friendly. I am so grateful I found this yoga studio. read more

I love the $49 one month unlimited classes introductory offer. I was able to tryout several classes and found all the instructors to be wonderful. I previously did Gentle Yoga through the Poway Adult School pre-COVID and it had been a while, but was so nice to get back into practicing Yoga again. Love Tracy's Gentle Flow classes and really enjoyed Ian's Yin/Restorative class. The website is really well done and signing up for classes is super easy. read more

This is the most delightful yoga studio I have ventured into that allows students of all ages. I am most impressed by the amount of love the envelopes you as you venture about. The owner and the instructors are well versed with knowledge and gently push you to your edge. At the end of each class you enjoy a chilled towel to cool off and wipe down your glowing sparkles. Lisa created a studio for everyone. Each class is a challenge and allows you to feel refreshed at the end. You could attend yoga anywhere, but Mello Yoga is the coolest place. Are you going? Once you do, you will transform into a new being. read more

If you are looking to join a yoga studio in the Poway area come check out Mello Yoga. This is a great place to do Yoga. Thanks to Yelp, got to try out Mello Yoga. I came on a Sunday at 4pm. The place is clean and decorated nicely. It was a full moon that day so the class had references in relationship to the Full moon. The class was not too crowded and just the right size. The instructor was great! I really enjoyed the class and it was a good workout. Made me realize how much I missed going to Yoga classes. It was my first time using a rolled blanket to incorporate with yoga moves and I really felt the stretches was enhanced by it. I loved the use of the cool towel with lavender towards the end of class. I am looking forward to coming to try the other yoga classes especially the Essential oils class. read more

Relaxing & much needed yoga therapy with Roshni! My friends & I came here for a free yoga session for our first time. In order to use your free session, you must come 30 minutes before class to complete the registration & get acclimated to everything, easy. We came on a Wednesday night to try their Gentle Flow/Restore with Essential Oils. They only offer this class on Wednesday nights but were later informed that they will be trialing a second class on Sundays at 4p. Perfect! Because this is a really amazing class. Roshni was our guide & at the beginning of class, she informed us about which essential oils we would be using & their benefits. She came around throughout yoga & applied the 3 oils on us & they smelled wonderful & their properties were so soothing. The poses we did were so relaxing yet was a great stretch. Nothing too crazy, all for relaxation! & afterwards, I slept like a baby! read more

Excellent teachers, good selection of classes, great music, love the decor- deep and soothing dark colors.

Lisa and all the instructors at Mello Yoga are absolutely wonderful. They have always been very encouraging, motivating, and calming during class. They are also super helpful at modifying poses for you if you have injuries or are unable to do certain poses. It's a very welcoming, calm environment at Mello Yoga. read more

I started practicing yoga last month to help with mind and spiritual healing. Lisa the owner is so lovely and welcoming! The studio is small and intimate which allows you to really focus on your practice. There are so many extra touches that the instructors offer (physically) but also by giving you a cold lavender cloth at the end of class or wonderful essential oils to smell. My favorite instructor is Kierstie! She is an awesome teacher but is also so calming and comforting. I encourage everyone to try Mello Yoga! I can honestly say that I am a yogi believer! read more

Mello Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Poway, California

Best Yoga studio in the area hands down, highly recommend!!! I used to go to Yoga looking to tune in and tune out, hid in the back and kept my head down. No more since discovering this business during Covid and trying their outdoor classes to then moving back indoors into the beautiful serene studio space. I've found my Yoga home. This isn't just a yoga studio, it's a community of top notch teachers that provide a wide range of affordable classes, sound baths, crystal bowl savasanas, workshops and retreats. The best part is, it's the friendliest group of yogis around. From the moment you walk in you feel welcome and are surrounded by positive like minded souls. I love seeing all the familiar faces at class and knowing that I'll walk out each time feeling connected, stronger, healthier and more at peace. read more

So happy to have a high quality Yoga studio in Poway. The studio is clean and inviting, the instructors offer a variety of techniques, personality and music choices to make each class different and enjoyable. A variety of classes offer something for every level of yoga. I especially love the All Level - Vinyasa class that always offers something new and challenging each time I go. Essential oils are diffused during class and at the end of class, lavender towels help you cool down. After a class Mello Yoga, you will be mellow and want to go back for your well-being. Their schedule is easily available on the MINDBODY app, with class times, descriptions and teachers so you're never guessing what's next. Namaste. read more

LOVE going here! The atmosphere is so calming and inviting, with a great view from the top floor. Lisa, the owner, is super awesome and really cares about the community.

You also get a free first class, and a discount on your first month of membership. Overall, I totally recommend this place to anyone! read more

I recently completed this training and it was nothing short of phenomenal. The trainers are highly experienced and knowledgeable. I received incredible support and education. It was life changing! read more

I took my daughter for a group class and we both thoroughly enjoyed Lisa's class. She made the class interesting, fun and relaxing. She went through a variety of poses and kept us at a steady pace. She ended the class with a fragrant cool towel on our forehead and some essential oils which was a super relaxing way to enjoy shivasna(sp?). Thank you Lisa! read more

May I just begin by saying, I love my yoga home! The space is beautiful, the instructors are amazing and I ALWAYS leave feeling like a new woman after class.

Lisa and her team run a fantastic studio that is spotless, gorgeous, and conveniently located (with plenty 'o parking), with authentic, highly-skilled, inspiring teachers. I totally appreciate the variety of classes throughout the day, from challenging to restorative. Keep an eye out for the 2020 teacher training coming up, if you're at all thinking about it!!! read more

I just tried my first class and loved it! I used to do yoga at a nationwide chain. It was a good workout but I felt like I was just a number and there wasn't anything personal about it. I loved Mello Yoga and will continue to come back for the personalized experience. I felt part of a community during the class and more importantly was able to tailor the class to my needs and preferences. The studio has such a positive energy from the teachers to the fellow yogis and I left feeling recharged and upbeat. So excited to have a studio like this in Poway! read more

Every single trainer that we have met so far is enthusiastic and eager to teach us a good healthy yoga. We couldn't be happier with our choice. read more

My girls started doing yoga with Mrs Lisa a little over 6 months ago once a week at their preschool. Not only are they learning how to stop, listen and follow direction they are also learning how to love themselves their peers and the world we live in. We just found out Mello Yoga is going to have a "mommy and me" yoga class and I can't wait to experience this class with my girls. Thank you so much Mrs Lisa for introducing the girls to your positive attitude and for truly caring about my girls read more

When in Poway..... I was visiting Poway and wanted to find a good yoga class. Two local businesses recommended Mellow Yoga. I enjoyed the class, the instructor was great.

Definitely would recommend Mello Yoga. -Tommy C. read more

Mello yoga is simply the best. Lisa Mello has something for everyone. My wife enjoyed her introduction class, returning for more several times there after. I have been to several Power classes and was challenged each time. I went to the 40 min Morning class which was a perfect jump start on the day. If you want a community with your yoga or to power up, Mello Yoga has what you need. Try it you will not be disappointed read more

Lisa Mello is an amazing yoga instructor, business woman, mentor and friend. She was lead coach of the 200-hour yoga teacher training certification program I completed. Her extensive yoga knowledge-base, warm demeanor, and patience led to the success of my training. I also participated in a two-day Mello Yoga Children's Yoga workshop where we learned how to guide children in yoga a practice. What a difference, but the fundamentals of breathing, focusing, and understanding stillness versus movement continued to be the foundation in theory and practice. Lisa has a creative and fun teaching style. It's literally impossible to be in her presence without laughing and smiling. I highly recommend Lisa your next certified yoga instructor, yoga teacher mentor, or as a guide to your yoga practice and endeavors. I hope to see you in a Mello Yoga class or workshop! read more

What a gift Mello Yoga is to our community! Lisa Mello is not only an amazing, gifted, teacher, but also her wisdom and love of learning and evolving are inspiring.
