This CorePower Yoga location in Del Mar has become my main studio for Yoga Sculpt! I've been trying…read moreto find the right instructors whose movements and teaching styles feel comfortable for my body while still giving me a good challenge. So far, I've really enjoyed taking classes with Myra, Irene, and Courtney. Each of them brings something different to the experience, which I absolutely love! Myra is very organized and structured with her movements. I love how her classes flow naturally from one exercise to the next, making it easier to follow along while still getting a great workout. Irene, on the other hand, is your gal if you're looking to incorporate more weights and lifting into your Sculpt session! She will definitely push you to work hard, especially your shoulders, glutes, and pretty much every part of your body. Haha! If weights aren't your thing, just be prepared because she does not go easy on you! But if you enjoy a good challenge, you'll love her classes. Courtney focuses more on glutes and abs, which I really enjoy! One thing that stood out to me was how she encouraged partner exercises and teamwork toward the end of her class. It was such a fun way to connect with others while pushing ourselves through the final movements. So far, I'm really happy I've found these three gals! They each have their own teaching style, and I appreciate having the flexibility to choose a class depending on what kind of workout my body feels like doing that day. I'm still exploring different instructors, but these three have definitely made my Yoga Sculpt experience something I look forward to every week!

Thank you Nicole and Susanna for being so welcoming and creating a beautiful yoga community! They…read moreteach the Core 1 and Core 2 classes respectively (that I take). And it's such a wonderful class whether you are new to yoga or a 20 year practitioner like myself. The traditional classes are easy to follow and I just love the positivity of the instructors. They care for us students. They hand out signs that say whether you want adjustments or not. I opted to have adjustments and it helped me get into positions so much better. The classroom itself is brand new. It has infrared lights and soft lighting within class. The floors are soft even with a thin yoga mat like mine. Also, what an awesome location within the Del Mar Highlands community. It's next to Pvolve and Revel. Ample parking behind and in front of the studio in the lot or parking structure. Love this location!!

I've been going to this studio regularly for 11 years - and it was Studio Barre for over 9 of those…read moreyears. Now I take signature 60 or strength 45 when I can fit it into my schedule. I feel the new Barre3 classes are an improvement to the previous Studio Barre classes for several reasons, even though, like many, I miss some of the old choreo. Barre3 workouts are kinesiology informed and remind me of a physical therapy session. The dynamic stretching and mini breathework at the end are great for my nervous system. This place is great for all ages of women that want a workout that will tone them all over and actually prevent rather than cause injuries. I adore Nora, whose class I took today, and every other person that teaches and works here.

Riffs Bird Rock is hands down my favorite yoga studio in San Diego! (I have ClassPass, so I've…read morechecked out a lot of yoga studios. And I like this one so much I bought a class pack here.) Their Ocean Beach location is nice too, but really sets this one apart is its outdoor deck. I've always believed yoga is exponentially better when it's outdoors, and the vibes of this outdoor deck are immaculate. I love practicing in the shade under the coverings, among lots of plants and nice classmates (everyone I've encountered here is lovely). Every class I've been to here, from vinyasa to slow flow to hatha, has been basically perfect. Also, parking isn't too bad, and I love Bird Rock. My favorite thing is stopping by Calumet Park before or after class, since it's only a couple blocks away and offers a killer ocean view. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or you've never tried yoga before, I would definitely recommend checking out Riffs! It's both accessible for beginners and authentic for those who are more into yoga.

I've been here multiple times. Great studio, very clean and with an awesome vibe. I love being…read moreoutside and I especially love the area at the back of the yoga space where you aren't quite under the canopy and you can look up at the trees. I also love the little altar that they have set up on the steps in between the instructor and the deck where the students are practicing. They always have it decorated with seasonal items and it's so pretty. I really enjoy the instructors. Today was Asia and she always teaches such an engaging flow. I also enjoy the classes with the live music. What I'm not a big fan of is the wellness area they have set up behind the studio in the grassy area adjacent to the yoga deck. They do cold plunge out there during the class and to be honest, I find it distracting. During today's class there was someone in the cold plunge in the beginning, fortunately that person was very quiet, but I was aware that they were back there. There have been other times when I was there when there were people in the cold plunge and they were laughing and talking while the class was going on. I get it that the studio is in the heart of Bird Rock that there is other noise from the street, from the taco shop next-door, etc. But to have the distraction in the space you are practicing in is not ideal. When I checked in at the front, the girl who had me sign the waiver asked me if I was aware that they had a wellness area behind the studio. I told her yes, and that I was not a big fan of it. She told me that they are brainstorming ways to separate that area from the front of the studio more efficiently. Hopefully they come up with some solutions!
