Love this studio during and after COVID. They offer great alignment, Iyengar and Vinyasa flow classes. Easy check in or check out of classes on the website I recognized several instructors from other studio s that had closed during covid. I highly recommend this studio for all levels of yoga. Thank you Megan and Suzy for being there for me during the closures allowing me to keep my practice alive. read more

This yoga studio is amazing, because of the owner, Megan Bello. She is extremely knowledgeable, weaves demos and practices together very expertly. Megan has deep insight into anatomy and will adjust every yoga pose to your specific needs. Better than physical therapy, lots more humor in it!!!! Highly recommend! The best Iyengar influence I have experienced. I am a yoga teacher myself for decades and continue to learn from Megan. read more

My husband and I live in Fullerton, but John is worth the drive! I was a total yoga amateur when I first started coming to his classes, I've been doing yoga for about a year now and I have to say that his technique and the way he explains every position is something I've rarely seen. He knows the body like the back of his hand, he's very technical and thorough with everything - every time I'm in class with him I take the knowledge and incorporate it to my practice in other classes, it's always great picking up something new. Thanks, John! read more

Megan Bello, owner and teacher of OC Yoga has saved me! I have practiced yoga with wonderful teachers in very good studios for years. After a hip replacement in 2018 my knees slowly began to give out due to osteoarthritis. I was told by a doctor I was approaching the time I would need both my knees replaced. I have had shots and physical therapy and still needed pain relief. They helped, but only a little. I joined OC Yoga January 2022 in pain and walking with a limp. My legs had bowed and become disfigured from arthritis. Six months later, because of Megan's deep knowledge and excellent instruction, I walked my daughter down the aisle to be married without a limp. One year later my right leg is straight and my left leg is 80% straighter. Most importantly, I do not have any more pain! I still have stiffness in my knees, but they are able to bend now and I can squat again! Onward and upward! Classes are instructional, tough, fun and most importantly what we are learning works! I highly recommend OC Yoga and Megan Bello's classes! There are other excellent and very good teachers who teach there as well. Pricing is very fare! Come join us! :-) read more

I've been teaching at this studio for over a year now. Megan invited me to teach during covid as we followed the necessary protocols. There are so many very talented teachers here sharing a a diverse array of yoga disciplines. It's been exciting to see all those familiar faces begin to come back in-studio practicing. We are also continuing live streaming for those who can't get to class. I'm so happy to have found my new yoga home. read more

Suzy and John are my favorites! I started with the introductory New Student Special and am now a regular member. If you are looking for quality yoga instruction in a warm welcoming setting, give Orange County Yoga Studio a try! read more

Although a home practice is essential being in studio with guidance and nurturing is key to my yoga practice. Love to all the teachers in my life read more

I took a yoga class here with John and absolutely loved the style of the yoga and the class. John's instruction is precise with providing the find details of ensuring that you are in the correct posture. I found that the poses in this class really helped my lower back. The class is great, the yoga is great, and John is an amazing instructor. I highly recommend!!! read more

There is something for everyone at this studio. As others have mentioned, OCYS offers a wide variety of yoga styles (Iyengar, Align, Vinyasa, Yin, Gentle, Dynamic, Restorative) as well as Pilates mat. The most important thing is that each instructor has been chosen with great care. They are very competent teachers and that makes all the difference in a yoga studio. Many different levels of classes are offered, so that everyone, from beginner to advanced practitioner has a chance to participate and learn. The studio is very well equipped with props, including a rope wall. It has everything a person needs to learn and practice yoga safely and enjoyably. read more

Very few studios offer Vinyasa Flow, Yin and Iyengar. Orange County Yoga Studio is a gem hiding in plain sight! These instructors are true Yogis. Suzi, Sonia and Megan will not disappoint! All levels are welcome, which was appreciated after quarantine! read more

This is a home based yoga studio that is owned by Megan. She teaches almost all of the classes. She is totally dedicated to seeing her students success and improve in their yoga practice. She is an amazing teacher with a great talent for teaching subtleties in poses that really push you to do your best. This is an Iyengar Yoga studio. She has all of the props necessary for beginners to get benefit from the poses. There is also an awesome rope wall for rope head stand and other hanging poses. The classes are typically under 10 students so Megan always provides some individual instruction. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is interested in learning and improving their yoga practice. read more

Found a deal on Groupon for this studio and I absolutely love it!! This was the first yoga class I had ever taken and I am so glad it was with Megan's. Warning: it is a studio in a home - when I first arrived I was very confused to end up in a neighborhood, but luckily found other students walking in. The classes are small and intimate, and Megan really takes the time to do adjustments with everyone who needs it, and explains what the poses are and how they help the body. I absolutely recommend her, she's amazing! read more

First of all I will say that Megan Bello is technically one of the best Yoga teachers I have every taken class from and I have been doing yoga off and on for over 30 years since, I was a kid. B.K.S. Iyengar method pays close attention to anatomical details and the alignment of each posture. For an ex professional acrobat and dancer this has been an eye opener and humbling because I would just do the poses including more advanced ones through the lens of previous acro training with no mind paid to how it should properly be done. Now here is the catch....she is a good example of Namaste Bitches! To be clear she did just have a baby so it is partly a hormonal issue although I don't want to wait a few years for that to level out. Megan can be charming, funny and then incredibly rude and disrespectful at times and seems to single out the same people especially this cute little blonde woman whom just asks questions but apparently not in the way Megan likes. Some may not be bothered and don't mind being a doormat. I saw a few ladies just nervously laugh it off. It can be a bit shocking and jarring when the anger overcomes her, even her eyes narrow and change. "the bolster goes like this!" "I'm not OK with you being in that spot!" "I told you to just lay there not modify the pose!" she regularly yapps. There is a lot of meanness, condescension and cruelty in the world today and I really don't need it in my Yoga practice. I am bummed because I really wanted to keep going however I am really feisty and don't want to blurt out "Namaste this, Bitch!" in front of a whole class haha. I will definitely search Iyengar yoga out though. read more

I have been attending classes at this amazing yoga studio for over 2 years and I LOVE this studio. Megan is exceptional instructor. Her knowledge and understanding of the body and how it works is truly unparalleled. I am moving, stretching, bending in ways I never could before. I have more energy and feel more grounded when I attend her classes regularly. When I miss a class, I feel it! I didn't know what Iyengar yoga was before taking that first class and now....I can't imagine being without it! read more

I found this studio on Yelp and when I got there I was a little confused because it is just in someone's house and I arrived early so the teacher wasn't even there yet.... I will admit, it was a little strange at first.... BUT by the end of class I was sold and would come back to this class everyday if I could and plan to return when I am in town. The instructor (Megan) is obviously trained in the Iyengar lineage and holds very true to that style. I learned things I have never learned in other classes and while she was firm in her corrections and adjustments, I liked it because she knew her shit! She taught from a place of deep knowledge and power which I completely respect. The studio space was clean with adequate props. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try a little more raw, authentic, Iyengar yoga experience without the frills of a fancy yoga studio. read more

This studio rocks!! Incredible yoga experience!!! Great space, great teachers, lots of classes to choose from. All of the teachers are exceptional, however Megan has amazing knowledge on body mechanics and how to isolate and align all the areas of the body. read more

The studio has a new home in Laguna Hills and it is beautiful. I just took Megan's first class there and it was wonderful--a balanced well-sequenced Iyengar style class tailored to the students who were present. Jon, the other teacher, will be doing more flow-based classes; so the studio will have a nice diversity of offerings. Give the studio a try. You can Google for the contact info and address. read more

My fiancé got me a Groupon 1 month unlimited package so I could de-stress from planning the wedding. I've been to several yoga classes and have always had a positive experience that left me feeling calm, balanced, and happy. Looking forward to a relaxing class, I was in for a real treat. The yoga studio is in someone's home, which I don't mind with the exception of the occasional toddler running in to class & doing toddler-like things. If I'm trying to relax, the last thing I want to hear is a screaming child. Yet, this is the least of my concerns. I will say I am slightly impartial because I'm used to flow classes where movements are very fluid. So this was not my particular style, but I kept my mind open. The real kicker & reason why I will not be returning is the harsh & rude tone of the instructor. This was my first time in class and I was singled out multiple times being told I was doing it wrong and made an example of in front of everyone. I'm not the only one who experienced this. She continued to do this with almost everyone. Rather than politely adjusting without drawing attention to, that was her form of instruction. She even went as far as to tell me that I am flexible, but not strong. It was very insulting and definitely didn't make me feel good after the fact. I think she meant well & I'm sure she's a good individual. I just don't think teaching yoga is for everyone. read more

I take yoga classes with Megan in this studio. She is a very knowledgeable yoga teacher. her expertise and her energy and her vibe is just awesome.....she has totally transformed my yoga practice, my well being and my outlook on life. She si very caring and flexible as far as teaching to the needs of the students....She is an amazing yoga teacher..... read more

I was searching for a true yoga studio, where i get more attention from the instructor and I can progress safely. I believe Iyengar yoga is right for me. Megan's classes are small enough to accomplish my wish. Megan helps you learn the yoga poses well, understand what they are supposed to do and how you can achieve the most of them. I like the fact that she'll check everybody's posture, correct where needed and explain afterwards to the whole class how to improve. It gives one a solid foundation and you feel safer developing a home yoga routine to keep progressing. I really feel it increases body flexibility and corrects the posture, I feel lighter. My tennis is improving since now I can twist and turn much better, my QiGong as well. read more

I have been practicing Iyengar yoga for almost 20 years now. I have been to my fair share of studios across the US and have practiced with many yoga teachers. Megan Bello is THE BEST Yoga teacher I have ever practiced with. Megan's knowledge of the integrity of the pose is almost magical, she can look around the room and see what each and every one of us is doing incorrectly, call us out by name (yes, she remembers every one of her students names) and get us each to put our attention to where we need to fix the pose. She may explain the poses in different ways on different days depending on what she is trying to accomplish that day. Megan is continually enhancing her own practice by attending classes with her mentor. Orange County Yoga Studio is conveniently just off of the freeway, they offer many levels of yoga and different styles of yoga. I have attended Joan Chavez and John Manacmul's classes and I have practiced with Cindy Shapiro, they are all great teachers! Great studio! read more
