~ FLOATING SHAVASANA WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL ~…read more I've always wanted to try aerial yoga, and I'm so glad that my first experience was at the Aerial Studio. I booked the Intro to AIReal Yoga class through ClassPass, with Kristen O' Briant as the instructor. You can either bring your own mat or use one provided by the studio. They offer both aerial and AIReal Yoga classes that use hammocks in the practice. Our class took place in the back of the room, where a beautiful array of hammocks was set up. Kristen was an amazing instructor--she took special care of beginners, ensured we were making safe moves, and offered modifications when needed, all while providing encouragement and still challenging us. As an avid yogi, these hammocks really helped deepen my asanas, and I enjoyed this fresh approach. The highlight for me was the floating shavasana. Normally, I struggle to fully relax during the final shavasana in traditional yoga classes, but this experience was magical. Swaying gently and being cocooned in the hammocks - like a butterfly before it transforms or a baby in a womb - made it the most relaxed I've ever been during shavasana. A couple notes for the studio: during the first half of the class, there was also a children's class happening at the same time. It wasn't too disruptive but did occasionally make it hard to focus and be present. Also, dimming the lights during the final shavasana would enhance the atmosphere as well as show off the beautiful twinkle lights strung above the rafters. I highly recommend this experience and am looking forward to my next class! *HOT TIP: This was my first visit to Pacific View Mall, and I had trouble finding the studio. The studio is located inside the mall and between Old Navy and American Eagle.

Alex teaches those who want to compete in dance, and folks like me, who just like to dance, and no longer feel the need to compete. Check out his classes if you want to learn to dance, or dance better. If you decide to go to the studio, the entrance faces Bunsen Ave, so just take the second left on Olivas Park Drive going south from Victoria.

Claddagh has given her the opportunity to thrive as an athlete, learn the responsibilities of being a teammate, excel with poise while performing before large audiences and making life long friendships with her dance mates at the studio. Maire and the teachers are committed to your child being the best dancer they can be. The mentoring that is shown from the older dancers to the young ones is something I love to see as a mother. Claddagh has also opened avenues for my daughter to travel and meet new friends from distant places. Lastly, Irish Dancing has to be one of the most exciting styles of dance to experience. I give Claddagh 5 stars for being such a valuable part of my daughter's journey.

Fast forward some years later and I am a world champion team dancer and a 5x world medal holder. If you truly love irish dance, you stick with it- but you have to love it. I loved the competitive atmosphere when I danced at this studio and growing up I truly felt like I belonged to another family. I was pushed and became the person I am today. I ended up writing my college essay on three of the teachers, all former students, because they inspired me so much growing up. A recommendation to anyone reading this. Tell your child that they can do it and the feeling after winning makes it all worth it. Along with irish dancing, put them in a ballet program and pilates to strengthen their core and muscles. If you don't do it right, your child will walk away with injuries that they'll have for irish dancing. Unfortunately I didn't learn my lesson until I had spinal surgery.

She hadn't taken a dance class in years and was a bit nervous. She loved the class right away! Miss Brittany is so good with kids and I love how she makes up creative ways to describe the moves instead of just doing 8 counts (see video)! They also do fun things in class like choreographing short dances of their own. They got to ride on a float in Ventura's St. Patrick's Day parade in March and perform at a small recital in May. My usually nervous-to-be-on-a-stage daughter got up there and confidently performed with sass and smiles (a lot of credit for that goes to Miss Brittany in the crowd dancing along where they could see her). All the kids from the dancing/musical theatre classes were amazing! I highly recommend The Creative Arts Academy for kids who want to have a good time while learning to dance/act/sing!

Outside each studio door there are instructions on what supplies you will need to grab when you enter, and how many people to a row. I love clear instructions!

Rebecca was a great instructor and gave great suggestions throughout the class on different things you could try during each stage if you wanted to kick it up a notch or keep things simple. Provided cleaning materials in the back of the studio for the items used was great! I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I don't live in the area, otherwise I would visit often. Thank you very much ladies!

I…read moreoriginally signed up to de stress and try hot yoga, and it's the first time in my life I've actually enjoyed going to classes and stayed consistent. The quality of instruction alone makes the pricing feel fair. Every instructor is highly skilled and brings their own intention and energy to class. I'm especially drawn to Carrie for her light hearted humor, grounding presence, and nurturing teaching style. Each class feels thoughtfully planned and you truly get your money's worth. The studio offers even more value beyond classes. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the space itself is a cozy boutique style studio with curated gifts, skincare like EarthTonics, and yoga brands such as Beyond Yoga. It feels community focused, supportive, and non judgmental, which is something I have not experienced at other studios even at higher price points. They also include added value through events and workshops that deepen your practice without feeling transactional. Even the EarthKandee vending fridge with healthy snacks and drinks feels like a thoughtful extra after class. For the quality of instruction, the welcoming environment, and everything included, Grassroots Yoga offers excellent value for the price. Their one month unlimited option for $69 is an affordable way to try it out, and the drop in rate is fair for what you receive. I would highly recommend it.
