    Phia S.

    Pilates on Purpose is a cute little Pilates reformer studio in central Newport. When arriving to their location, there is a decent sized parking lot, however be warned that during "lunch rush" there is a valet, so sometimes you need to park on the street to not pay. I have never had a problem finding a spot. The studio is tucked back on the ground floor. Definitely arrive early your first lesson because it isn't the easiest to find in the complex! The studio is super cozy, with around 8 reformer machines. The classes start usually a little after their start time because the classes are back to back 60 minutes. Meaning if you take their 5:30 class, the 4:30 class will not end until right at 5:30. It is great if you are chronically running a minute or two late. All of the instructors seem to really know their stuff! They are super knowledgeable and helpful with correcting your form. All of the teachers are extremely friendly and really take the extra step to get to know you. They will also probably chat with you and the fellow Pilates attendees during your class about what is going on in your life. It is a very open and friendly environment! What attracted me to the studio is they have so many different class times and instructors!! You can really book a Pilates class for anytime of the day practically. The only downside with this studio, is that it is more of a place for beginners. They rarely offer reformer 2 classes. The basic reformer classes almost always have a newbie or two and the exercises account for them. The exercises can be a smidge too easy for people who regularly practice 2/3 times a week. I would highly recommend this studio who is new to Pilates or is a beginner!

    See all

    Darci was very patient and did a good job walking around the class helping students correct form and demonstrate form.

    About 2-3 years ago I worked down the street from this location and while driving home I would…read morethink about how great it would be if a yoga studio opened up along my route home and then one day I looked over and saw the sign for Hello Yoga so I like to believe that I manifested this studio. I began attending yoga, yogalates and barre classes and trying out different instructors. I even tried the Metal Yoga and loved it! There used to be a yoga class that incorporated reiki which was awesome (Meera we miss you!) Currently my favorite classes are the sound baths with Missy. They also feature special classes every once in a while for special things like breath work etc. which are quite popular. I really like this studio because it's not one of those impersonal corporate owned places that has a generic big box feel. I hate those places because any time I have done the one free class deal to see if I like it I end up getting hounded by text messages trying to sell me a monthly membership. Hello Yoga is NOT that kind of place. They are so chill here. Hello Yoga is a woman owned small business and you can meet Debra, the owner, and take one of her classes and experience how great she is. She knows what people want and need so she offers all types of options for signing up for classes. You can choose to have a monthly membership, pay for a single class, buy a class pack or use Classpass. There's always plenty of parking in the lot in front of the studio with overflow parking available behind the studio.

    This is the best yoga studio I've been to because the vibe is so chill. It's no-nonsense, no-fluff,…read morecome-as-you-are. It really feels like a "community yoga center," it's honestly so Costa Mesa. The classes are excellent. The instructors do a great job of accommodating all levels and they're super-friendly. They have a variety of class types, including barre and yogalates. It's just a great studio, and their unlimited monthly rate is an amazing deal. They even have livestreaming classes now. And their new student intro rate for your first month is only $50 at the time I'm writing this. I can't say enough good things about this place.
