I was staying in Chula Vista during a recent trip down to SoCal, and the first thing I wanted to do…read morewas go to yoga. I dropped my luggage at my friend's and found a couple of nearby yoga studios. Chula Vista Yoga Center had classes that fit well for my schedule while I was in town, so I called it my home studio for the weekend. Signing up for the classes and checking in were a breeze. The studio was gorgeous, and I loved the inspiring wall murals and paintings inside the space. If I was local, I would certainly attend the monthly offerings including workshops, sound healing events, etc. I enjoyed the two classes I was able to take. Both classes were heated, and the teachers were awesome. For my first class I took Andre's Ashtanga class on Thursday at 10:30am. I used to practice Ashtanga regularly, so taking the class was like riding a bike. Andre modified the primary sequence, so I thought it was very accessible to yogis of all levels. The other class I was able to take over the weekend was Jackie's vinyasa flow at 8am on Saturday. She had such a creative, challenging flow and introduced an asana I've never done before. Lastly, customer service was excellent. The two front desk receptionist who assisted me on both days were very friendly and helpful.

Thankfully we arrived early to one location and the toll road got us to the correct location in 6 min right at the start of class. We got lucky with parking up front but it's shared with a bunch of other businesses so always leave yourself with enough time. Jasmine was our instructor for the yin yoga class. She explained which items to grab for the session and made room for us. Both me and my husband felt super relaxed during and after the class. It's the perfect relaxation for the mind and body after a long day of work. She ended the session with a sound bowl that was nice. Definitely recommend this class and location especially since they offer it through classpass Next time, I'm going to try one of their loud boot camp type classes that was happening across the hallway. It had a fun vibe to it with weights!

I am 65 years old and I have been doing this yoga since 2008. it's the only exercise that I've…read morestuck with consistently! For years, I used to go get full body massages every other week because my muscles in my neck and shoulder areas were so tight from my occupation as a dentist. I urge you to try sitting down and working on upper back molars on patients who have limited opening of the mouth. Anyway, I digress. It was actually my massage therapist who told me to try hot yoga because she couldn't believe how stiff and tight I was. So I went to my first class in July 2008. I was hooked. The first day I drove home with my legs shaking and still sweating profusely but I never felt more refreshed. The yoga is the same 26/2 postures each time, yet it's not boring and it's always different depending on your body.My best friend from high school who has been doing private Pilates lessons for 20 years tried this yoga and said that she understood why I was so hooked and how it was a challenging exercise. I have a 3 year old grandson now and I want to be active and crawl around on the floor and keep up with him and I credit this yoga for allowing me to do so. I don't feel old and this yoga is the reason why! I even have my hyperactive, mountain biking, surfing and golfing retired husband doing this with me twice a week and he says it helps him with all his sports. A big thanks to Sonia and all the instructors, the studio is spotless and the community is awesome!

Merry is amazing!…read more I've been seeing Merry for the past few years and she's wonderful. I first met her when she was offering readings at the Cat Lounge in La Jolla, to support the kitties. Ever since then, I've worked with her several times. She's done tarot readings for me, life coaching, led a meditation at a friend's birthday party, and is even helping me start a new business. She's extremely intuitive. She picks up on minute details and communicates clearly. Her spirits guide her to insights, many of which have made huge differences in my life. Merry is not your typical psychic. Go check her out - you'll be glad you did!

Every time I come to this yoga studio, I think why don't I come here more often? It's not very far…read morefrom where I live, but it's just kind of off the beaten path for me. The studio is clean and light, and they have a lot of nice equipment to use as far as blocks, bolsters, and blankets. I've been to a variety of types of classes here, but most recently I did a deep healing class taught by Tiffinie. It was pure magic and my body needed that. 75 minutes of slow postures that are held for a little bit longer, mobility exercises, and breathing. I will definitely return and I'd like to make it more of a habit to visit the studio. Plus, there's a great smoothie shop next-door and tasty coffee available at the brewery just down the street!

Unfortunately although I recommended this studio hundreds of times since I grew up down the street…read moreand have been a neighbor since Ginseng, I can no longer recommend. A business shows their values through their priorities. When I called and tried to book a class today I could only get an AI chat bot. It didn't understand that I was trying to book 1 of 2 available classes today. Then it couldn't find my account in the system. When someone called back later, he acted like I should've known that I could've just come in. Well maybe if someone answered or the website said that, I wouldn't have booked a class with a studio that answered my call. When the guy on the phone tried to offer assistance, another person who I didn't know was on the line started asking for my personal information. At this point I didn't even feel comfortable disclosing my name, and I don't feel welcomed or comfortable coming back to this studio. Sad because I had some really important emotional breakthroughs here. But I guess they don't even know I exist or have my account in their records so I don't know... I'm disappointed in South Park Yoga. And I do not want to support business that use AI like this. It's lazy, anti-human, anti-spirit, goes against everything I agree with and honestly, yoga is supposed to be about Purpose, Process, Soul, Intention, Grounding, REAL LIFE. What does it say about a yoga studio that uses AI? The soul is gone. Or it's AI generated now. Brad and Marilyn: I didn't know you were both on the line until you started talking over each other. It was uncomfortable. And yes it is a replacement for human connection when this is the result. And how was I supposed to know I could text a phone number? Yes, it has been years, but I was trying to come back... now I feel foolish trying to book. I am so utterly disappointed, especially in this response. I won't try and visit you all again don't worry.
