Chula Vista Yoga Center

Chula Vistas Foundation Yoga Studio. I have been attending classes on a drop in bases for years now never had a bad class. This studio has a mixture of advanced students to beginners. It has a shower available to use if you need a quick rinse before or after. Jano Galindo’s classes are pure fire. Johnny Fay has a nice smooth flow to get things going on a Sunday Morning. Friendly front desk staff. Classes tend to be large but the teachers are good about circulating around to help.

I just started doing group yoga here through a Groupon and I love it. The instructors are cool and have been accepting towards me. I definitely plan on signing up for more classes once I’ve used all my pre paid classes through Groupon. Jano is a great instructors and Devon too with the singing crystal bowl of healing. Love love it.

yoga amongst nice members and great teachers.

I never though I would do yoga… My wife started coming here and loved it so much she convinced me to try it out. I have had a tendon injury that in the few days that I have been going (the awesome 10 days for $ 10 deal) has already started feeling much better. It is a great atmosphere and the instructors are warm and welcoming. I never felt lost even though I have never done yoga before – definitely a challenge though!

The best. I recommend this place to all my friends who want to try yoga or get a good workout. Instructors are nice and each one has their own style, so if one instructor isn’t quite your cup of tea, there’s others to choose from. The studio is clean and if you don’t have a yoga mat, they have clean ones you can borrow for your yoga session. They also let you borrow towels, blocks, and straps if you need them for your practice and they have 2 showers on site.

Took the 10 for $ 10 trial and I will be coming back! This is a special studio and you can feel the good vibes just walking through the door. The front desk staff and instructors that I’ve encountered have all been very cool. That said, this place is not for everyone. They say it’s for all levels, but I saw a first-​timer attempt to take a class and he left after five minutes. I do not fault the instructor for this, but I do feel it should perhaps be more clear when taking the plunge. All the classes are a very sweaty vinyasa flow with minimal instruction or adjustments. I’ve been practicing for three years, so it suits me fine, but if this is not your cup o’ yoga, then this is probably not the place for you. I do believe they have one restorative class in the evening and perhaps will expand their schedule to include more variety, but I think they are mostly into this one particular style. I look forward to taking some workshops or attending special events in the future. PS: They have a large bathroom, a couple of showers, and towels in case you want to rinse off before you proceed with your day. Also, the floors are pergo/​wood, not carpet as I was originally told. Thank goodness!

Had my first class here this morning and LOVED IT! The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the studio offers FREE use of their yoga mats and towels. I brought my own but that’s always an awesome option in case you forget your own (we all have our off days). BONUS! They offer an excellent deal to new comers, 10 days for ten dollars. I will be going EVERY DAY for the next ten days. And when my trial run is up I will continue with one of their other very reasonably priced plans. The décor and vibes of the staff and studio are exactly what my practice needed. Definitely my favorite yoga studio I have found so far. (Used to be Bikram, but I don’t LOVE heat and humidity ;))
Also, special shout out to Mike! He was a super personable and knowledgable instructor and I LOVED every minute of his class. It was the perfect balance between physically challenging and relaxing. I left the class covered in sweat and feeling AMAZING!!! I look forward to his next class Wednesday evening.
This place rocks!

Out instructor was very helpful, informative. Kind staff, clean yoga studio. Trying out the $ 10 for 10 consecutive days. I fell in love with today’s practice. As a new mom, this center is the place to be. Tonight’s practice helped me get in touch with my body, mind & spirit. It is a definite challenge to do yoga. Beginner, advanced … I need to work on my breathing. Just breathe!!! Thank you to our instructor mark I believe it says on the online calendar. He was clear with his instructions. Come by this studio soon located in Chula Vista!
I totally am considering doing the $ 130 rate for one month unlimited. Yoga feels so good!

I had such a awesome yoga class this morning:) I really enjoy Jano’s class’s, it’s a real treat when I come back here for yoga.

$ 10 for 10 consecutive classes. AMAZING!
I have done Bikram Yoga before and I must say that this is my fav yoga studio.
The instructors are all extremely friendly. You definitely feel like you are all family.
My first day I walked in not knowing what to expect. I paid, left my bag and keys in the front, grabbed a mat (free mat rental!) and walked in the yoga studio. At first I was a little intimidated. I walked in and first thing I saw was a muscle man doing a headstand before class started. I panicked a bit. (come on dude… im out of shape!)
I went at 5pm. Instructor Jano is really good. Everyone at their own pace.
On wednesday I had Ashley. Ashley was extremely helpful. I really loved that she walks around and makes sure you are doing everything correctly. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow and try somebody new.
My body feels AMAZING. 2 days out of my 10 and I am the happiest person ever.
Check this place out. It’s just $ 10 if you are new. Going to this class will make your day feel so much better. This studio is very clean unlike others that smell like everything you hate.
TRY IT!

Fun, Funky vibe with great art on the walls inside and out.
Fantastic classes the couple of times I practiced here. I’d check it out again when I’m in town.

Checked out the $ 10 for 10 days intro promotion – I’m done and I won’t go back.
The space looks cool, the murals and decoration, and I like that they have a front desk person, but I just didn’t enjoy the classes I attended.
I felt like they were not beginner friendly, lots of advanced poses, and no explanation on any alternative poses. Plus the instructors didn’t really make many adjustments or provide much assistance. (No, I’m not a beginner, but I haven’t practiced in a while and wanted to take it slow getting back into yoga). Most of the instructors didn’t introduce themselves in the beginning of the classes, nor did the ask if anyone was new or had any injuries.
The only instructor that I felt like was really helpful was Ashley, and one person isn’t going to keep me going to this studio, especially with the limited class times.
If the location is convenient to you, I wouldn’t discourage you from checking it out, but not if you are new to yoga.

I began my first day of the $ 10 for 10 days last night at the candlelight yoga class (Fridays 7pm). My friend had been trying to get me to go with her to a class for a long time, but I hadn’t really enjoyed yoga that much at other classes I had taken. I never really felt challenged at other places (I hadn’t taken many though) which is saying a lot because even though I work in holistic health, I am not in very good shape.
Last night was incredible. The dim room with flickers from the flames of the candles, and faint music in the background really set the mood for a self-​reflective session. With it being darker, I found myself feeling more confident to put my best into every movement and posture because I knew if I made mistakes that people wouldn’t really see it. On the other hand, Ashley (the amazing instructor) saw everything, and came around to make adjustments and corrections. She was walking around the entire studio checking in on everybody, really interacting with the class.
I am actually excited to be returning (hopefully again this weekend), even though I am really sore today. I felt 75% less stressed after last night’s session, and I have been really stressed for a very long time. I really love the more intimate nature of this studio. My friend tells me that every class is as great as this one, but I am in love with the candlelight yoga.

Not even one bad thing I can say about this amazing sanctuary.
The instructors are very welcoming and they will always gladly guide you through your Yoga journey, if you’re a newbie or an experienced yogi.
This is the only studio where I’ve felt like home. Its colorful and filled with paintings made by the owner, Kristyan (crazy dude with dreads that will both kick your butt and make you crack a smile or two during his class). All of the classes are challenging yet fun… so much fun you’ll even forget the burning on your arms if you take Mark’s class.
Seriously, there’s no place like Chula Vista Yoga Center.

I tried the $ 10 for 10 classes & i LOVED IT!
Now i’m doing the 30 day challenge!
The Chula Vista Yoga Center is a hippish & colorful place.
Down-​to-​earth friendly staff that always make you feel welcome!
I have tried yoga before but this one is the best ive foundt! A perfect combination: friendly staff, great workout, and affordable prices (oh, and student discounts)!

I’d like to share my experience with the Chula Vista Yoga Center because I’m very excited of «going back to life» with such good yoga classes…
My friend took me to the center for this awesome deal of $ 10 for 10 days of yoga and what a invitation! She was mentioning how amazing the place is… how yoga can change my life… how can I improve my health and my work with massages…
I am very happy to be back at the yoga world though the Chula Vista Yoga Center.
All the classes are absolutely helpful for me, my body and my soul are feeling how much I need yoga in a daily basis.
I love the morning classes but it would be perfect if there was an earlier class. The earliest class is @ 9 on weekdays…
Thank you all for the experience and you will be seeing me very often ;)

Pros:
Super friendly staff
Great empowering yet relaxed environment
Great workout!
Showers
Good prices
Cons: Can get a little crowded, but it’s a testament to how great this place is.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Its the Absolute Best Yoga Studio I’ve ever been to and its fairly priced!
Great People, Good Vibes, Good Music, Awesome Instructors, and Awesome Workout!
Friends can come free on Fridays! What are you waiting for?!

My friend and her mom brought me here a couple years ago for the 10 days for $ 10 deal and I absolutely LOVED it! I didn’t get to finish my 10 days, but for the days I did get to attend, i enjoyed myself very much.
I’ve tried yoga classes at different gyms, and it’s nothing like this place. This place is very clean and all the instructors and employees are extremely friendly and welcoming. Everyone is down to earth and so. LOVING. I was probably the youngest person in the building and a beginner, and not once did I feel uncomfortable or out of place.
I just get such good vibes here and I can’t wait to go back. I would highly recommend The Chula Vista Yoga Center to others.

So, I finally got my butt in gear and started yoga again. One of the best decisions I’ve made to date. I left my first class with Mark wondering why in the hell I’d given it up for so long.
Now, if you’re like me, and you need the guidance of a practiced yogi with patience and a soothing manner, you need to come here. I simply can’t find a consistent time in my day to practice on my own. They have one giant room where about 15 – 20 people fit in for 1−½ hour sessions. Yes, the room is kept hot and this is better as your muscles stretch better when they’re warm.
All the instructors are wonderful about walking through the class, straightening poses, pulling your body in directions you’d never thought it’d go, but not being bothersome. And all are very understanding that yoga can be an immensely painful practice for anyone.
I drive all the way from the SDSU area for this place. Granted, I work in Chula Vista, but that is of no regard. I prefer this atmosphere to a lot of other studios who are concerned with image, merchandise, and payment.
This center offers really awesome packages. Including their start-​up package of $ 10 for 10 consecutive classes. That gives you no excuse not to at least try it.
