Yoga in La Jolla

“I recently had the pleasure of attending yoga classes at Riffs Yoga Studio in Bird Rock during my business trip to San Diego, and it was an experience I won’t forget.The atmosphere at Riffs is simply fantastic. Practicing yoga outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature was truly uplifting and refreshing. What stood out to me the most was the approach of the instructors. They emphasized the participant as the main instructor, with themselves as the secondary guide. This philosophy underscores the importance of listening to your body and honoring its needs, which I deeply appreciated. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to find that sound healing was integrated into every class I attended, adding an extra dimension to the practice and enhancing the overall experience.Throughout my visit, I had the opportunity to attend a variety of classes led by six or seven different instructors, and each one was exceptional. Their expertise and passion for yoga shone through in every session, creating a welcoming and motivating environment.Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to Riffs Yoga Studio the next time I’m in San Diego. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a rejuvenating yoga experience!“

“Life changing. Victor has helped me process childhood trauma, past life trauma, and generational trauma. He’s taught me to integrate my shadow parts that I was afraid of. Tension that has long persisted as slowly dissipated and new energy restored to my body. Thank you Victor for your sacred power and service to humanity. We are blessed who meet you. ???“

“Isotiques is the perfect barre studio for multiple reasons. I’ve taken barre classes at several places but none have the unique, effective method that Isotiques delivers. When I first started taking classes here, I saw changes in my body after just 2 classes - no joke! It’s the only workout I did leading up to my wedding in order to get into optimal shape. You are guaranteed to get a thorough and intense workout every single time. They will push you to exert your best effort, but at the same time will not single you out or make you feel uncomfortable if you are struggling. The instructors are great at showing you modifications and making sure your form is correct to get the best results! The rest of the decor throughout the studio is super classy and cute too. I would recommend Isotiques to anyone interested in a Barre/Mat Pilates type class, new comer or veteran.“

“Awesome class the studio. The teachers are both knowledgeable and kind! Would recommend the 26&2 class“

“After trying many studios around San Diego over the past 6 years, büddhi yoga consistently out does the rest. They offer a variety of classes, events and workshops, and community events. I highly recommend checking out classes from the owners Carolina and Amanda. Additional bonus, Shade Boutique, located in the lobby of the studio always has the cutest athleisure wear, trendy separates and gifts for home. Thank you büddhi!“

“I really enjoy coming here, it’s always fun and challenging and the instructors are awesome - especially Olivia, Tyler, Alexa, Sophia and Mo!“

“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.“

“Jessie makes the best shakes at the cafe!! Also is a super kind person. Love this gym!!“

“My beautiful reading with Heidi left my body, mind and spirit at peace and created a heightened sense of purpose. Heidi took me through a deep transformative and gentle experience with the soul purpose of cleansing some inner wounds. Her guidance felt safe, authentic and allowed me the space to process and accept deep questions I had for myself. I cannot wait for more of her guidance and encouragement while I enter my soul's journey!“

“I’m a 68-year-old who’s had my fair share of aches and pains from working at a desk and growing older. Pilates with Shabs has been nothing short of life-changing. She’s not just an instructor — she’s a true body mechanic. She understands the human body better than anyone I’ve ever met. Every session is a combination of stretching, strengthening, and healing.

I genuinely look forward to every single meeting with her. She’s funny, kind, sensitive, friendly, and incredibly honest. I’ve never felt this good in years, and I owe it all to her.

My wife and I once thought about leaving San Diego County, but now that we’ve found Shabs, there’s no way we could go — we’d never find anyone like her again. She’s an extraordinary teacher and an even more extraordinary person. If you’re lucky enough to get a spot with her (she’s very busy!), take it — you won’t regret it.“

“I love my workouts with Gotham Pilates and Laura. She tailors my workouts around pains and aches that I'm having at the time and teaches me the right exercises (and how to do them correctly) to support my joints, improve my posture, and alleviate the pain (I have had runner's knee, a soar shoulder from swimming, and lower back pain from sitting the wrong way and too much for work). I'm always impressed by her knowledge of biomechanics from her years as a dancer and instructor (I am a biomechanical engineer by trade). I highly recommend her and Gotham Pilates!“
