Yoga in San Diego

“Went to a class last night in OB taught by Marina W., and couldn’t have enjoyed it more! Definitely got pretty hot and tired during the class, but her flow was very balanced in intensity and felt natural. She also offered adjustments to those that don’t mind them and was very sweet while keeping everyone motivated! The class was 7-8pm and after doing solid movement and sweating it out, I had the best sleep afterwards! Now I want to go to her Sunday morning class and definitely recommending to a friend!“

“Was visiting San Diego and decided to check out this studio. I’ve never done barre before and it was definitely not what I expected. Within 5 minutes I was already sweating. My instructor was Karli and she walked me through what to expect during the class. She’s a sweet and amazing soul. I would definitely recommend this studio if you’re wanting to try something different“

“Everyone is absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough about the support and instruction, a complete spiritual awakening for me.“

“Sojourn is easily my favorite yoga studio. The instructors are kind, good at what they do, and the variety of offerings is great. The community aspect of the space is unmatched - you can tell how much the people here love to stay connected & over the two plus years I've been a member, I've felt supported and welcomed.“

“About six months after moving to San Diego, an acquaintance suggested I try Honey Yoga for exercise and to meet people. I attended a restore class. Michaela was my first instructor and I loved her calm, non judgmental energy . I looked around the class and saw a diversity in races, age, and body type. It was the first time I’d been to a yoga studio and didn’t self conscious about my body or my ability to do poses. After signing up for the 3-week special I tried a variety of classes. It’s been over year now, and while I’ve tried almost even course they offer, I’ve found my favorites (restore with Michaela, slow flow with Jordi, and high-lo with Kaia) all of the classes have been lovely. Jen’s sound bath class is a must-do-experience. Her voice is beautiful! The staff, led by Ashley (who has the best pose movement count down voice) are so welcoming and knowledgeable. I’ve settled into my routine and love the monthly challenges. I am so happy to have a home away from home.“

“San Diego Morena location was easy to access, and the guy there was personable and helped me with all of my questions. Likely will do this once a quarter.“

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Liber8Fit! I’ve been on a full year unlimited membership now and it’s easily the best decision I’ve made for my fitness.

What really sets this place apart is the vibe (and the fact that everyone tries to keep it clean, which is a must for me!). It’s such a safe, encouraging, and motivating space. It truly feels like the kindest community ever, which is why I actually show up to class excited instead of it feeling like a chore. ?

The workouts are always creative and engaging. I love that there’s a variety of equipment to play with, from dumbbells, kettlebells, and ropes to sandbags, bands, balls, and even a few machines. Whether it’s a full-body functional training circuit or a low-impact yoga/stretching & mobility session, the programming is always spot on.

Angela, the owner, is just the best. She is so nice, personable, and always full of energy. She and all the trainers are total experts at what they do, and they’re also incredibly accommodating and supportive.

If you’re looking for a motivating gym with community that actually cares about you, this is the spot! ??“

“Truly a special human Janis is. She really cares about her clients and has helped me A LOT. You do not find people like her anymore in my opinion. She really understands the human body, way muscles function. She is well educated and continues to expand her knowledge. I came initially for neck issues but after 3 sessions with her my symptoms are going away. Now able to move onto other problem areas which is awesome. Highly recommend her!“

“Katie and Ali are amazing doctors and the quality of care is exceptional. They take time to understand their patient’s needs and are so incredibly knowledgeable. I am a physical therapist and I am consistently impressed by their unique approach to healing and the efficacy of their treatments. I cannot speak highly enough of them both!“

“Dr. Liu is amazing! I was suffering from SI joint pain for years. I tried everything from PT, massage, and chiropractic. I found it difficult to sleep and pain medication did not help. The relief was only temporary, maybe lasting a few days. My friend recommended Qi Rhythm Acupuncture and after the first session, the pain went from an intensity of 9 to a 6. I started weekly sessions and after 4 sessions, the pain level went down to a 2 (unfortunately I sit in an office all day and that is what causes my problem to persist.)

I now come in twice a month for maintenance and feel like I got my life back again! I’m truly thankful for Dr. Liu and his professionalism!“

“The Wellness Lounge is truly amazing! I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and the level of care and professionalism has always been outstanding. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxing, and makes every visit feel like a reset.
Kara Chartier is excellent in all the services she offers—she’s knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She always goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of, and her expertise really shows in the results.
If you’re looking for a place you can trust long-term, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“I love this studio! The restorative yin classes are my fav :) space feels very inclusive and welcoming, good vibes all around🤩🌟“

“The infrared sauna was an absolute treat - having a private session is a step up - there was complete privacy, a shower offered afterwards, and extremely nice staff who made me feel comfortable ahead of the 30 minute sauna session. I have also received massage treatments here before which are also 10/10. Would recommend!“

“Morgan M is excellent for flow—her sequencing is well-structured, and her personality is genuinely kind and welcoming. She makes an effort to include everyone, which creates a really positive class environment. She also takes time to connect with students.

Simpson’s restore classes are unique in a good way. He gets you warmed up first, then has you hold poses for longer periods, which helps you really settle in. He also takes time after class to talk, and overall has a very chill, approachable vibe.

Nicole is my favorite instructor, along with Annie Louie and Sabrina. Her restore classes are especially strong—very yin-focused, with longer holds that allow for deeper relaxation. She is also very polite and takes time to connect after class, which I really appreciate.

Lacee also has a strong flow style, and overall these instructors have created welcoming and inclusive class environments in my experience.

On the other hand, my experience with Ella P was not as positive. Based on what I personally observed, she did not come across as very welcoming, and at times her tone toward me felt unnecessarily strong and uncomfortable. She also did not seem as open to interacting with students compared to other instructors.“

“This studio is truly amazing. The offerings are so varied; from gentle yoga to more challenging classes, wall yoga, ballet, sound baths, and so much more. And let’s not even talk about the community. The Yoga Haven family is exactly that: a family. Everyone is incredibly welcoming, from the owners to the other students. This place truly has a piece of my heart. 🤍“

“This is my first week attending several classes here and I am very happy to report how clean, organized, inclusive, and thoughtful FWRD is. I have loved every class and instructor! After a couple years being on a hiatus from facility exercises due to having my baby, they have made it not only easy but enjoyable to get back into the swing of things. Excited to continue my classes here and get my membership soon.! I highly recommend starting off with a one week pass and going as much as you can to get to know all the classes.“

“My intro to pilates was at this club and it was the best thing I could have done for my wellness. I am stronger, more flexible, more confident, and have combined it with strength training, and cardio seeing results I was not able to obtain in 15+ years. I am moving out of CA after 4 months at the Mira Mesa club and already looked into a Club Pilates in my next state (and there are several!)l. Club Pilates is where you want to be!“

“I love this place so much! Every instructor is amazing, and they are so welcoming…. Kayla and Bri are EXCEPTIONAL though. I don’t miss their classes at all haha
Their technique, knowledge, and attention to details are very impressive.
The studio is always clean. Congratulations for every staff and instructor!“

“Diggs Bodyworks provides 10/10 service. I’ve been getting massages for over a decade, and she is by far one of the best I’ve ever come across. She is incredibly professional, highly knowledgeable, and has such a calming, positive energy.

She really listens to your concerns and lets your body guide her to the areas that need the most attention. She asked what type of pressure I prefer, and she got it exactly right. I haven’t walked out of a massage feeling this relaxed and stress-free in years.

I will definitely be going back to see her!“

“It is a real Yoga studio if you are interested to learn the tradition,and know what really yoga means.
Carolyn is a real and genuine yoga teacher , you will blessed if you are able to learn from her.Discipline and tradition.
If you have also body issues, she help you to be back to move again with freedom.“

“I'm very active new to pilates. Powerhouse is clean, organized, and a good price range. I am so happy to have found both studios! I travel for work so the option to do class packs is crucial for me. Other places are outrageous and insist on monthly memberships. Extra plus is both locations are fairly close to home. Instructors are great at cueing and there's a nice vibe amongst participants.“

“Super busy studio and friendly people. Love their variety of classes from candlelight to sculpt!“

“Went in as a guest of a friend while I was in town. Perfect class. Loved the teacher, the vibe, and how welcoming the class was. Very friendly to yogis of all abilities. Go in once and you will be hooked.“

“I am so impressed with AquaVie. The facility is clean, well maintained, and has great exercise equipment. But, what I love most about AquaVie is the staff and trainers.

Christian did a wonderful job touring me around the gym. He pointed out all of the unique features and he worked with me to get the best membership for my goals. Without him I probably wouldn’t have joined.

I arranged for my complimentary personal training session with Bader. He is great! Very focused on doing exercises that meet your goals and life activities. I can’t say enough about Bader. I have been training with him twice a week for 4 weeks and I lost 13 pounds and feel so much stronger and motivated to continue training.

AquaVie is the best!“

“Two classes with Andrew today and I’m glowing! ?✨ I sweated, I laughed, I had a blast. Andrew is hands down the best way to start or end your day ~ his positive energy is contagious and I always leave stronger, happier, and so proud of myself.

Looking back, I’m beyond grateful I started this journey months ago. Working out has finally become a habit that stuck, and it’s all thanks to Andrew. Somehow, he makes me want to show up, push myself, and become the best version of me.
If you’ve been on the fence, don’t wait ~ just take a class. Life’s too short not to feel this good. ?
