I've been wanting to write this review because I think I speak for many of Laura's long-time…read morestudents. I started attending Bikram Yoga back when Vern owned the studio--may he rest in peace. I came back in February 2026 and feel better and have lost 18 pounds! :) I recently read a negative review criticizing Laura for occasionally going off-topic during class and talking about real-life issues. My response is this: let's not be so quick to judge. None of us are perfect, and we're all real people dealing with real emotions and life experiences. When Laura says things like "monkey see, monkey do," I know exactly what she means. Many of us will see someone sit down or lie down during class and think, "Maybe I'll take a break too." I know I have. She's simply encouraging us to push through mental barriers and stay focused on our practice. What many people don't see is the amount of time and energy Laura invests in her students, especially new ones. I regularly see her stay after class to help students improve their poses, answer questions, and encourage them to reach their full potential. She is passionate about helping people succeed, not just in yoga but in life. What stands out to me most is how she connects with people on an emotional level. Many students come to her studio as a last resort after living with chronic pain, physical limitations, or frustration from not finding relief elsewhere. Laura genuinely cares about those people. She listens, encourages, and helps them believe that improvement is possible. That kind of dedication is rare. For me, Bikram Yoga has been incredibly healing, both physically and mentally. A lot of it is mindset, "you take what helps you, learn from it, and build on it". Don't let a few words that may have been taken out of context define Laura or her business. Life is what you make it, and I choose to view every class as a stepping stone toward a healthier, longer life. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I believe it's important to be kind and fair when sharing it. That's just my two cents. Laura has helped many people over the years, and I am grateful to be one of them.

I am sorry but I had an unexpected experience here. It was my 2nd Bikram Yoga class and Laura was…read morethe instructor. My first session with the other instructor went well. While Laura was instructing, I felt like she was talking about many unnecessary topics like how yoga is not their only profession and how it doesn't really pay well. I don't know how it's relevant to us? She also told a fellow student that I was copying her yoga moves and mentioned "monkey sees, monkey does" something like that. While I wasn't really copying anyone. She also mentioned that I was anxious during the session while I wasn't really anxious. I was just trying to put efforts. I don't understand how can someone "encourage " a student like that during their initial sessions. What's the issue even if someone is looking anxious? Yoga should be a pleasant experience for newcomers and not feel like walking on a tight rope. I thought it was just me but I found other 1 star reviews here concerning her on similar issues. I don't feel comfortable going back even though I paid for an entire month. Sorry but please treat your new students with extra care and encouragement. Good luck!

With an intimately small class size and ample parking, this studio has been my favorite to frequent…read moreseveral times a week. I highly recommend getting a monthly membership, especially if you plan on going more than once weekly. It is very affordable compared to other studios. Plus, you can go Filipino grocery shopping or food hopping at the plaza across the street after class! The teachers are great instructors and the owner, Jessica, is excellent at describing how to move your body. For yoga beginners, this is especially important because we don't come in knowing the names of poses--though the classes are adaptable for all skill levels.

I really like this studio. I've taken the yoga and Barre classes here now and the instructor…read moreTiffany is great! She's super nice and very clear in communicating the poses so it's easy to follow along. The studio space is on the smaller side so classes are more intimate, which is nice. There are no mirrors on the walls however - I wish they had them because then I can see if my form is correct. It's located in the center of a shopping center, with the door facing off to the side, so it's a bit tricky to find. It took me a while to locate it the first time I went. There's plenty of parking available, and Tierra Mia is at the end of the shopping center, so you can get yourself a treat after class like I did!

I can't say enough for what this studio has brought to my life . I was new to Pilates a little over…read morea year ago. I fell in love instantly and dove head first into all the studio offered. Brenda, who is one of the owners and teaches as well is a gem!!! Brenda has taught me so much about my body and just breathing really. She constantly reminds me of my body mechanics, which is so important with Pilates. I have corrected so much of my posture thru out my daily living because of Brenda. Brenda pays attention to each individual in class and teaches the class with all of us in mind for that hour. Brenda has changed my life and I am in love with her and the studio. The studio is clean, very calming , and has a very happy vibe about it. There are five reformers , so it's an intimate class, which I like. They also have two Cadillac tables that are so amazing if you ever really want to see some unique stretching techniques. Brenda was a professional ballet dancer and has a degree in kinesiology. So she actually names the muscles as she instructing us. I love that!!!! I just love this place and the fact that it changed my life when I needed it so desperately......... THANK YOU STUDIO 66!!!!! Nothing compares to this place!!!!!!

I had been taking Mat Pilates through Glendora Parks and Rec for many years. During the Pandemic…read morethey had to close the class but after things opened up they no longer offered the class. Fortunately I found Studio 66. My instructor Adri-Ann has guided my transition from Mat Pilates to using the Reformer with very easy. Since working with her my strength and mobility has improved tremendously! I look forward to my twice a week cessions.
