“I love GOAT Santa Cruz. A huge variation of workouts, from truly challenging stuff, all the way to silver sneakers classes. I take the silver sneakers cuz I have a back injury. Someday I hope to add a few more classes. Excellent staff, friendly and really knowledgeable.“

“I highly recommend the Somatic Bodywork of Crystal and her healing hands and focused attention.. She has studied so many modalities through the years and brings them all together to rejuvenate and renew the body's own intelligence allowing it to release places where past memories are creating blockages. I emerge from a session feeling lighter, more grounded and energized. If you are 'stuck' holding on to past traumas, I suggest you call the Santa Cruz Somatic Bodywork and Yoga Center and have Crystal activate your whole self and move into a full experience of living.“

“We were staying near Ann's studio in Santa Cruz and made a last minute reservation for a private session. She was so great with my 8 year old daughter explaining things and correcting positions as we went along. I really liked her balance of the physical and spiritual side of yoga. Having spent a honeymoon in Bali the ambiance of the property was a real treat. We look forward to revisiting her when in the area.“

“Just had this place set up as an emergency shelter to help people stay out of the freezing nights. Besides a couple of kooks that tried there best to ruin everyone's night with their air of entitlement and inflated self opinion.“

“I love Tara and the Estrella Collective! I feel so blessed to have found the magic she creates and offers here. Since first finding this place a couple years ago, I have gotten different tooth gems done by Tara. She always knows how to make my smile bling ✨?✨ and heart sing!Tara offers her creative touch, if in question of what style to get done. Her artistic vision and soul are ones to trust! She always hold a compassionate ear and is wise in her empathetic knowing. My tooth gem sessions have turned out to be therapeutic too! So grateful for this goddess and this community collective in the heart of Santa Cruz. “

“Kofi is by far the best yoga teacher I’ve ever experienced. Not simply because he traveled to India 9 times to learn directly from B.K.S. Iyengar himself, but because of his teaching method. Most “teachers” just assign the asanas and leave you in the challenging position. What Kofi does while he’s assigning them in ritual order is introduce a theme he’s teaching that day about how the body works and why you’re doing the yoga. Then when you’re in position, he tells stories of all kinds from his own personal history in Ghana, then England then the US, which stories illustrate via metaphor the lessons he’s helping you learn about how to train your body, and specifically to build truly active mindfulness into your routine and even your whole life. He also does a good job of leveling the playing field, kidding us all so we all know he knows we’re over-comparing ourselves to more limber fellow-students, which makes it a lot easier for an older fogie like me to handle seeing what 25-yr-old women around me can do! So the end result is no matter how tough are the body-challenges you face in the class, your joy is much higher and you take in much more about living in your body in a much more mindful way, which in my case, among other things, includes the long-ignored idea of standing up straight. Have a great time with Kofi!“

“As a beginning yogi, I started taking weekly yin yoga classes at PPY in April of 2021 because I needed to do *something* for my health. I found the atmosphere here to be extremely welcoming and non-judgmental. My favorite thing is the emphasis on how I am feeling in my own body and/or how capable my own body is, without comparisons to how the other people in the class are doing or even how the instructor is performing the poses. The mood of the classes is very supportive. I have continued to take weekly yin classes with Magnolia and Katie, who are excellent, as well as taking occasional classes with Melissa, Tara and Gwen. The yin yoga (and the restorative or gentle yoga) classes are excellent for beginners and people looking for deep stretching and relaxation. I have noticed a difference since 2021. Highly recommend.“

“I drove down from Oakland for the Candlelit yoga class because I had received a gift certificate. The class was incredible. Shannon’s energy was contagious, but the class still felt super relaxing. This is the first beginner’s yoga class that actually felt like it was for everyone. I highly, highly recommend this class with Shannon.“
