Power of your Om! Thank you for making me and my stiff one dimensional workout body fall in love…read morewith Yoga , your lovely team and the powerful Power of Your OM yoga studio in Santa Barbara. Dear Adrienne, you are one of the nicest, coolest, most accommodating,solid ( and very flexible- yoga humor ok my attempt at) business owners I have met. You have this beautiful natural way of connecting with all and making this bum who resisted yoga his whole life a raving fan. You welcomed us both so warmly. It is not a surprise that 37 diehard fans showed up for your 6 am class on Wednesday October 8th. You found a way to make us all fit( photo) and ensured every one got a great workout. You remembered both our names a few minutes after meeting us and addressed us in the class. I loved your heart,your honesty and your spunk about how you and your husband moved to Santa Barbara 14 years ago. I loved the real, human and personal communication from the stellar Lindsey, the excellent Emily and the very nice David who really took the time to come by and relate to me as he suggested slight and actually very helpful shifts in my Warrior and Bhujangasan poses( yup my vocabulary increased beautifully). No one treated me like a newbie- they all wanted me to learn the fundamentals the right way. Loved it! LOVED IT!!!! The vibe in the studio be it at 8:15 pm or 6:00 am the next day was LOVE. Power to the Om and yes huge props and 5 stars for " Power of Your Om." Any one and everyone in Santa Barbara, you have got to go to this absolutely tremendous Yoga studio. Can't wait to be back.

I have been going to Corepower for several years now because I am in Goleta and there are not many…read moreoptions near my home. I took a surge class at Power of Your Om and overall it was a very good class. Flow was about low to mid level, a little bit slower and more fluid than most C2 classes at Corepower. The main difference between Power of Your Om and Corepower is the heat. Corepower is hotter because of the increase in humidity and temperature while Power of Your Om uses dry heat. The space is on the small side and there is no dressing room or shower, but it makes up by being less pricey than Corepower.

I am here to express my love for Divintree Santa Barbara!…read more I was totally new to yoga (as of January 2020). I signed up at Divintree for two reasons: 1) I had been experiencing low back pain for over six months and a doctor told me, "If I could prescribe yoga, I would." Nothing I was doing was working so I figured, Why not? 2) They were having a weekend of free yoga classes then a reduced rate for unlimited classes membership (they often have promos). If I think back to those very first classes, I remember feeling very unsure of myself, as anyone might when trying something new. I felt awkward and thought maybe yoga wasn't for me. I might have given up if it weren't for the welcoming attitudes and incredibly knowledgable teachers of Divintree. Hilary, Nicole, Natalie, and Sierra are truly gifted. Sierra Noland's classes were especially helpful and motivational for beginners. Her attitude really made me want to stick with my yoga practice. When COVID-19 struck, I was SO GLAD I had Divintree's virtual classes available to me. While at home, I have been able to take live virtual classes on Zoom, OR watch any of the recorded classes later in their library. Life is even BETTER now that we can take outdoor, socially-distanced classes on the beautiful bluffs of Mesa Park, facing the ocean. Their studio (when it is open) is incredible, but I am really happy with the virtual and live-outdoor class options. Gotta take advantage of the fact we can practice outdoors most of the year in Santa Barbara! The best parts of finding Divintree -- I have healed my bad back, found a new community, and I have found a passion for this practice.

My favorite classes are Yin & Flow with Amelia, Flow with Annie, and Sound & Restore with Mitsuko. They have some great yin classes at well. I love the hot towels they hand out during shavasana... a nice touch. I have a membership which gives me four classes per month, which is perfect for my schedule. Highly recommend this yoga studio!!

My husband and I had never done Pilates before and found Beverly on Yelp (where her five-star…read morereviews are absolutely deserved). We started going in September twice a week, and five months later we're still showing up--and the results have honestly surprised us. I'm noticeably stronger in my core and lower back, and both of our postures have improved. As someone focused on building strength and improving overall fitness, Pilates has been a powerful complement to my other workouts. It's strengthened muscles I didn't even realize I was neglecting and has helped me feel more balanced and supported in everything I do. Beverly is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She seems to know exactly what our bodies need each session and thoughtfully blends classical Pilates with reformer, mat work, the Cadillac, and other equipment. Every class feels intentional and tailored. Pilates is hard--but in the best way. For the entire hour, Beverly cheers us on while also carefully correcting our form so we get the maximum benefit. She emphasizes precision and alignment, which makes such a difference. You leave feeling worked, lengthened, and stronger. We go in the mornings, and it has become our favorite way to start the day. Beverly's warm, happy energy turns the session into more than just a workout--it's a full mind-body reset. Her studio, located off Mission Street in a beautifully converted former church, is calm, light-filled, and welcoming. The vibe and lighting truly matter to me, and she has created something really special. And a huge bonus in Santa Barbara -- there's plenty of parking in her private lot, which makes getting to class completely stress-free. We truly can't recommend Beverly enough.

I come from a…read moreweightlifting/boxing background and tend to be more analytical about my movements during training. I found Beverly at her studio, Classical Pilates Studio on Mission St., and her instruction was outstanding. Her sessions made me feel noticeably more sturdy, balanced, and structurally sound. It wasn't just a workout, it felt like building real alignment, control, and stability that carries over into everything else I do. Beverly is precise, attentive, and clearly deeply knowledgeable; you can tell she's teaching true classical Pilates. And the facility and equipment is very clean and tidy. Highly recommend for anyone who is a beginner, trains seriously, and wants something that improves performance, durability, and longevity without unnecessary wear and tear.

What I love most about Santa Barbara Dojo is the wonderful family atmosphere. From the beginning, I felt welcomed, encouraged, and supported and along the way, I've made some badass new friends. The KUT Method Challenge was about so much more than working out.

I'm leaving these six weeks feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident, and I'm grateful to Sensei Mel and the entire Santa Barbara Dojo family for all the encouragement and support. If you're looking for a place where you can get stronger, learn, have fun, and genuinely feel like you belong, Santa Barbara Dojo is a pretty special place.
