Yoga near Solana Beach

“I've been doing pilates with Shanna Maximov for a few years before she opened this studio and she is the best. She knows how to push you further each session without going overboard and all of her routines are well-balanced and varied. She's also really knowledgeable about pilates and sports/personal training in general. She is an amazing pilates instructor, highly recommend!“

“Mariyah and Babette are my favorite teachers.Mariyah comes around to each of us at the beginning of class to greet us by name. She shares a little about her own life which is nice and makes us all feel like friends.Babette has a lot of helpful information because she is learning about physical therapy in school. She can offer modifications for my physical limitations.“

“Claudia’s reiki is such an amazing experience, this is the best Reiki I’ve had. Her room is so soothing and she made me feel super comfortable going into it. She also provided a lot of tips and patiently answered my questions before/after the reiki. Thank you Claudia!“

“I've been out of the country 2 years and planned my trip back around making sure I could attend a few of Merry Trentadue's classes while I'm here: that's how much I LOVE her Yin Yoga classes. The sound healing with it makes it very special. The room setup with lights across ceiling just adds to overall ambience. I always float out of the room after one her classes.“

“Ahoy fitness pilgrims and wandering souls looking for a temple to shred those 'extra layers'! I must tell you about this sanctuary in Carlsbad, CA, where you're more likely to find a six-pack than a six-pack of beer (though, hey, balance is key). Yes, I'm talking about the one and only Yofit, run by the dynamic duo Cal and Staci. These folks know their stuff, and by 'stuff,' I mean turning couch potatoes into lean, mean, gym-loving machines.Before Yofit, I was 215 lbs of "mostly human," and by that I mean a body composition that was two parts jiggly to one part wiggly. My energy level was like a drained smartphone battery, perpetually stuck at 2%. But then, I waltzed into Yofit and my life was flipped like a pancake on a Sunday morning.Cal and Staci are like the Gandalf and Galadriel of fitness, guiding you through an epic journey from fluff to buff. My workouts with them were never a bore; they were more diversified than a savvy stock portfolio. From weightlifting to cardio, and even the mysterious land of yoga, they had it all!They managed to chase away my chronic shoulder pain as if they were shooing away pigeons from a park bench. It's as if my shoulder was auditioning for a tragedy and they turned it into a rom-com! If I were a car, they basically took me from a 'check engine' light to 'ready to race'.You know you're in good hands when your trainers treat your goals like their latest Netflix binge—utterly obsessed and committed to see it to the end. You're not just another face in the crowd; you're the star of the show.Now, I weigh a fit-tastic 178 lbs and am less than 25% body fat. I've got more zest for life than a lemon at a summer BBQ.So if you're in Carlsbad and want to transform from a loosely packed burrito into a tightly rolled sushi, Yofit is your go-to place. Your 'fit'ure self will thank you.“

“Gloria is an AMAZING Somatic Therapist. Although our session was via Zoom, her heart energy and compassion were palpable. Gloria was able to help me sort through some difficulties and feel more connected to my body! She also gave me some great techniques I can use to continue on my healing journey. What a gift she is to those of us that want to transform our inner world.“

“We took a cooking class this weekend at TreeHouse Kitchen in Encinitas. What a great place!! We have lived in Encinitas for years and we had no idea it was right around the corner from us. Home setting, clean, great chefs, wonderful kitchen setup, fun enviornment and Stan & his wife Mary are charming. It was great getting our family together while home for the holidays. Sipping wine and cooking, we felt right at home. The meal we made was delicious and we will definitely go back. If you are looking for something fun to do you have to try it out. You won't be disappointed!!“

“I haven't taken a dance class in almost 30 years, but I recently decided to sign up for the Theatrical Dance workshop (taught by Aj Anderson), and it was so much fun! It helped that the song she chose for our dance was Cell Block Tango from Chicago - quite possibly my favorite Broadway musical of all time! After getting us into the right mindset by doing some fun exercises that helped us better understand what makes theatrical dance a bit different, Aj provided us with fun choreography that was easy enough for even the least experienced dancer to learn, yet still looked awesome. We learned it in sections, making it easy to put it all together. Then the sections were incorporated in different orders throughout the song, meaning we were able to perform the entire song!! She even added an extra bit of fun to the dance by breaking us up so we had specific solos where we were able to improvise our own theatrical dance for our randomly assigned character. Aj checked in with all of us before moving on to a new section of the dance, ensuring we were all confident in the choreography. She also provided modification options for anyone who felt like certain moves were too advanced (or vice versa - more experienced dancers had the option to modify with a more complex move). I also talked to some of the other students in the class, and many of them said they were unfamiliar with the musical or the song, yet still had a ton of fun! Thank you, Aj!!“

“Hands down, this was by far one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced! Caitlyn was so in tuned with what my body needed and this was without me directing or guiding her. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!“

“What a joy finding Bliss Yoga in Encinitas was a few months ago - a locally owned business with a beautiful energy and healing space. I am a beginner and attend the 9:30am class week days and 9am class on Saturday. Additionally I have attended other events here including an evening breath work class which was exceptional. You can tell Lorraine the owner loves her business and she is such a nice and warm person. This is by far one of my most favorite discoveries since moving to Encinitas a fee years ago.“

“Found Taylor through searching Yelp, and so happy that or schedules aligned! She is very professional, has great energy, was punctual, items were clean and sanitized, and she is an amazing masseuse. She checked in throughout the massage to ensure proper pressure was being applied, and it was..massage was fantastic! Hubby and I both felt like "chilled-out noodles" after our 90 minute massages. Highly recommend.. a wonderful experience while helping support a female local business!“

“Best massage ever! I have scoliosis and have had back pain due to spinal stenosis for years. Having tried many treatment modalities, I can confidently recommend Tenia for effective, pain-minimizing massage. She always has good observations and recommendations that help me manage my pain and my life.“

“What an great little spot! The energy, massage and how I felt after was so amazing. I highly recommend a massage.“

“This was my first experience with Acupuncture and Kayleen made the experience very pleasurable. She spent the time to listen and talk through my current physical aliments, helped me identify some triggers, provided suggestions, and the best part was she was never condescending about some of my life choices that have triggered my issues. Afterwards she set me up on the table and created the most relaxing experience to clear my energy flows with her needles. They were absolutely painless. At the end of the session she took the time to review how I was feeling. Best experience.“

“Amazing yoga routines working deeply on the physical, mental , emotional and spiritual levels. They have the most beautiful community of soulful teachers passionate about facilitating healing, relaxation, and joyful awareness. Their online classes are just as vibrant!“

“Tim Miller and his exceptional staff of teachers changed my life for the better. I came to California to practice with TIm after a four month visit to Mysore and I was greeted with kindness and openness. I spent 6 months practicing here and my time with these teachers planted life long seeds in my mind, body and heart. I am eternaly grateful to have had this experience and will forever be grateful for the support, devotion and expertise of this amazing team of teachers.“

“Excellent place to learn yoga (astanga method). Practice makes body flexible and strong also heals body and mind. I am IT engineer for more than 15years. My metabolism degraded with sitting and working for long hours. This method benefitted me to regain my strength and improved digestion and metabolism, also improved triglycerides levels a lot. Andrew is excellent teacher and very friendly. Very lucky to be have him in San Diego and learning yoga with him.“

“Iyengar yoga is a traditional yoga gifted to the world from a guru who spent his life sharing it. Carolyn Belko and her well trained staff embody the teachings. I have travelled many places and studied with many Iyengar teachers. Carolyn ranks among the best. She is firm yet compassionate. I didn’t have the opportunity to meet Guruji but, as I humbly understand, he was too. If you haven’t studied Iyengar yoga start with an introduction as it is unlike any other form of yoga and will require a progression. Then you can see if it resonates with you. If so, may the fruit of the study bless you as it has me. Namaste ?“
