I’m thrilled to share my experience at the new San Diego Yoga Studio’s location which is just around the corner from their previous location in Bay Park! I was so impressed with how Kim and Russ created a clean, bright, calming environment perfect for our practice. With such knowledgeable instructors, I always learn new techniques to improve my practice. Highly recommend checking it out!

It was my first time with the instructor Sue Ann and only my second time at this studio because I don't live in SD, but already I can't wait to return. There is something very satisfying about taking a class that is both familiar (Iyengar) but also challenging, when you are taught new poses. It was restorative but not "nap time" for adults. We also we used the rope wall, my favorite, and lots of props. Tip: get there early, parking can be difficult.

I have been practicing for 18 years and been to many other studios, but SDYS is by far my favorite! The teachers are knowledgeable, welcoming, and down-to-earth. Kim, the owner, is truly awesome and knows how to work with you on injuries and any other issues. Great studio for anyone from beginners to advanced!
