Love this studio! Heated but not too hot or crowded to get a good stretch in. The candlelight flow class is my favorite way to end the weekend on Sundays. And the eucalyptus cold towel at the end is a nice touch. 🙌🏼

I’d be lost without this place it’s absolute medicine! Every instructor I have been to has challenged my strength and flexibility, prioritizes balancing my breath with body and mind. I’m always leaving feeling regulated and 20lbs energetically lighter after a good sweat. My favorite classes have been the candlelight or sculpt with Alena, Shelley, James and Austin.

This is a great studio I like how down to earth it is and in the flow classes, they Tell you the poses throughout the entire series so you’re not left to figure it out on your own. The studio is a nice small size so it’s not overwhelming and has overall great vibes.

I came here for hot cardio yoga almost every day for a month in 2022 (we were just visiting SD), and I STILL think about it and try to find studios like it everywhere I go!

In A Nutshell: -I signed up for a drop-in vinyasa flow yoga class here at Reach Yoga while I was in the area. -It was a nice 7am class to jump start the day. -The class ended up being a hot yoga class (which I don't mind b/c I go to at least one a week). -My mat was placed directly under one of the infrared heating elements so I enjoyed a nice sweat along w/ a great session. -The session focused a lot on our core & balance which was terrific. -I liked our instructor, Dana, she is very kind & knows what she is doing. -The studio is a decent size, it's dark w/ plenty of mirrors too. Overall, they also do paddle board yoga & other classes. If you live locally or just passing through like me I would sign up for a yoga class.
