Spectra Yoga

Love this yoga studio because of the variety of classes that they offer. I was looking for a yoga studio around the OC area that offers acro yoga classes and finally found this one! The acro yoga class I attended was so much fun! I was nervous to go for my first time but the instructor was very welcoming! The other people in class were of all levels — advance, intermediate, and beginner. Everyone was really nice and understanding. If you don’t have a partner to go with, that’s not a problem at all because you switch partners and get to meet everyone in the class :) I also tried their yogalates class and LOVED it! I loved how it was upbeat. It made for the perfect workout. My abs were so sore the next day! I also tried their yin yoga class which was extremely relaxing. If you want to improve on your flexibility, this class is for you.
The best part is that they give you a free week of unlimited classes so you can see if you like it. They also have a groupon online where you can purchase 10 classes or 20 classes for cheaper. I liked my first week so much that I purchased the groupon so I can continue my practice. I also recommended it to a few of my friends and they come with me now :) Very clean studio and the people here are super nice!

Finally! A down-​to-​earth, spotlessly clean, gorgeous yoga studio near me! Thanks to the free first week when you start, I’ve tried a variety of the many different types of classes they offer at Spectra, including Yin yoga, Hot Yoga, Flow, and TRX classes – and loved them all! Every teacher I’ve had is knowledgeable, kind and truly invested in making it a great class for everyone. Spectra has transformed my practice from «every once in awhile» to 5x a week. Love the vibe, love the teachers, and loving my time there!

I just tried TRX here with Kara and thought the class was great. It was actually my second class (first one was yoga which I enjoyed as well). I was walking out feeling great from my workout, but I went to refill my water bottle on the way out and was told by the girl at the front desk that I can’t use that fountain because I’m not a regular member (I signed up via class pass), and that I can only use the water fountain in the locker room unless I make a donation. Apparently it’s specially treated water (which many studios also have and don’t charge extra for btw). You have no signage about this special water, and no other water fountains in the front where anyone would see it when you were entering. If I don’t need to change or put anything in a locker, I have no need to go back there. Since when are people told they have to use a different water fountain in the back of a room? If you can’t treat class pass members the same as other members, don’t offer class pass. Needless to say, it completely ruined what would have been a great experience at your studio, and I most likely won’t be back. As much as I value a good class, the customer service aspect is just as important to me.

Beautiful studio. Spectra offers convenient class times and several different types of yoga. Front desk staff is fantastic and will usually remember your name after just a few visits. All the instructors I’ve had have been amazing. Great place to practice yoga!

Beautiful clean spacious studio. I love that it has such a variety of classes – including acro yoga which is hard to find as a class at a yoga studio. The teachers that I’ve taken classes with are very experienced and really know their yogi stuff ;). Everyone is so nice here and there is none of that pretentious vibe here! I’ve been to lots n lots of yoga studios and Spectra Yoga is one of the best. They have a free week where you can try it out so see for yourself! Namaste

Namaste.
Finally, a yoga place that offers a variety of yoga workouts. Yogis unite! I love that this studio offers more than «Just Yoga». They’ve got TRX, Ariel yoga, Acro-​yoga, yoga lift (bring on the weights), yogalates (pilates + yoga=feel the burn!), hot yoga, meditation & so much more! It’s an assortment of yoga classes that fits into your type of exercise régime. I’ve tried hot yoga with instructor Maryanne & yoga lift with instructor Robin. Let’s just say, I feel at peace and stronger! I really enjoyed Maryanne’s hot yoga class because she walks around the room to make sure your posture is good, don’t want any injuries! I never tried yoga lift until it was in this studio & I fell in love. I was sweating & working out those bicep muscles, triceps, hamstrings, calves… oh the weights! Robin was an amazing instructor, she encourages and pushes you to the limit! Lift those weights! I want to try the other classes because they all look so interesting and challenging!
The staff is friendly & the pricing is reasonable considering other yoga studios are pretty pricey & have only one option of yoga. On my first day here, I was warmly greeted by Kat who helped me sign up and gave me a tour of the studio. It is super clean & they have a rule about footwear… no footwear past the cubbies in the front! Which means, no footwear in the bathroom… I know, sounds a bit gross but the bathrooms are super clean! The studio has a very relaxing ambiance, perfect for yoga & meditation. So glad that this studio exists & is close enough to home! Definately a must try for all yogis… great staff, calming ambiance, amazing assortment of classes! Peace!

Great boutique yoga studio in the Mesa Verde shopping plaza. Absolutely beautiful space. Aileen Pham has outdone herself! I’ve used to practice yoga with Aileen back in 2009 at another studio. Needless to say, after I found Spectra I switched studios. You won’t get any corporate b.s. here at all.
The vibe here is friendly and welcoming, like a second home.
Spectra offers a wide variety of classes from prenatal, baby & me, kids yoga, meditation, yin, yoga with weights, advanced Hatha classes etc. I’m waiting to see if they will offer babysitting in the near future.
They have fantastic teachers all around and each one has their own style. If you want upbeat an fast, take class with Joey or Jeri. If you like mellow and mindful, I love Matt’s class. If you want challenging and unconventional yoga music, I love Robin’s class. I also really enjoy Ashley’s yin class… pure bliss. Also I fall asleep every time in Melissa’s yin class. She knows her stuff. Also I enjoy Judi’s yin as well. All awesome teachers here. There are a wide variety of classes to choose from. Go check it out!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this studio!
I go every weekend with my fiancé and it’s perfect for us to spend time together and be limber. My FMIL (who has only done WII yoga) went and we thought she would die and never come back, but she ended up coming back on her own and getting a membership! Each teacher will adjust to different levels in the class and there is absolutely no pressure so there’s something for everyone.
The studio is located in a huge strip mall and it’s always easy to park. There are 3 large rooms and the bathrooms are extremely spacious and clean.
I’ve taken classes with a lot of the teachers there and really love Spectra. First week is freeeee!

What a great yoga studio! This studio recently opened in November 2015 by Aileen Pham, who was also the co-​founder of Ra Yoga. I heard about the opening directly from Aileen since she was a contract yoga instructor at my workplace on Fridays.
They offer one week free here (minus the TRX classes), so you get to try out all the different instructors, classes, and their styles. I really enjoy Coleen’s Hatha/​Vinyasa Flow class, as well as Aileen’s Yoga Lift classes. I like that they offer hot yoga here as well. I have yet to try any of the TRX or aerial yoga classes, but they appear to be the very popular classes here.
The studio itself has 3 rooms (all with mirrors to help you with your form), is very spacious, and super clean and well-​designed. They have a little shop at the front, a water fountain in the back, cubbies for your shoes, and locker rooms/​showers for both genders. They have a lot of locker space, the bathrooms are super huge, and clean, and they come with nice hair dryers, deodorant, and body wash in the showers (which also quadruples as a shampoo, conditioner, and face wash in one!), which are also very clean. There are about 3 showers in the women’s restrooms. This studio is a lot bigger than Ra, but with the same Zen feel to it. It reminds me of CorePower Yoga but without the corporate, unpersonalized feel of a corporate yoga studio. The staff members here know you by name if you come even a couple times, so you feel right at home here.
Aileen informed me the other day that they’re going to get alkaline water in the studio, which would make this the most perfect yoga studio EVER after all the other amenities I mentioned! This studio is absolutely amazing and well worth a try! I think you’ll find the style of instruction to be a great workout and the studio itself to be very Zen.

What a great studio! I booked a private Aerial Yoga class with a group of 12 people. Eileen was very easy to work with booking the private class and was quick in responding to emails. The class was a great combination of fun and yoga. We had a great informative instructor who was very patient with our group. Everyone paid $ 20 for the 1 hour class. This studio is huge and super clean. We will definitely be back for another Aerial Yoga class!

I’ve been going to Spectra for a while now and I love it! It’s a clean and peaceful studio and I always leave refreshed and tranquil. There’s ample of parking unlike other studios. The people here are just overall friendly and down-​to-​earth. I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you’re looking for a yoga studio, Spectra is a superb place to go.

Loving this place already! I’ve worked out at other fitness studios and love a hard workout. I needed a closer place to go and saw Spectra Yoga being built so I wanted to give it a try. I checked their class schedule and they offer an excellent balance of class types. And since I live literally down the street and they offer a free week to try it out, I had no excuses.
So far I’ve taken 2 of the 6:15am TRX classes with Ambia and they have been awesome! If you would like your a$$ handed to you and like to sweat– go! But also, if you’ve never taken a TRX class before– go! You are encouraged to work at your own pace and intensity level. Ambia is a great instructor and sets a great tone for the class with a positive and encouraging attitude. She has a way of making people feel welcome and comfortable. And she knows when to push you to the next level.
My next challenge is to take some yoga classes. From all the reviews it sounds like they’ll be great!
Other great things about Spectra:
Parking is easy– lot is not overcrowded.
Location is easy to find– it’s in a shopping center on Harbor Blvd.
And if you need to grocery shop after your workout, Vons is right next door.
If you need some caffeine –Starbucks is in the shopping center too.
And if you need a massage after– Elements is next door!

Update: all things were addressed… Matt is amazing! hot water and hot yoga room. 5 stars! Super clean!

Loving this place. It’s a great new space with high ceilings that I think are a nice feature and I have personally never seen in another studio.
Aileen the owner is fantastic and has some great classes in line that are sure to add some greatness to any individual looking to get their sweat on.
The staff and other instructors are amazing, try them all out with a variety of classes to choose from. TRX is a must try with Ambia. Take a class with Joey and feed of his energy or meditate with Max. It’s all good here.
Take advantage, mold and shape your mind/​body by these different personalities and classes.

Best yoga studio ever! My 7 year old son loves the kids yoga and asks to go every week! Beautiful space!

Now, I have only been here twice. But its been amazing since day one! Their facility is very clean, they have 3 separate yoga rooms, male and female lockers rooms with amazing showers. I didn’t know until after that the owner was affiliated with Ra Yoga, explains why its amazing tho! High standards have been set by the staff to provide an excellent experience. Costa Mesa has really needed a fab yoga spot and Spectra is it! Go try out your FREE week and you’ll see why. Can’t wait to start practicing more here.

Just tried this place. Not sold. The owner was not friendly nor did she provide a warm greeting. She was more worried about getting her $ 2 for the towel then to provide a warm and welcoming environment. Poor customer service overall especially as a new studio.

I am VERY impressed with this studio. It is clean, big, and very well designed. It is also fresh and new. Amazing variety of classes and times offered and the owner is QUALITY which permeates into the studio, the people and overall environment.

Spectra is finally open! It’s such a spacious, beautifully designed studio. There are three yoga rooms, retail space (couldn’t resist the soft, red beyond yoga pants), large locker rooms with showers, vanity space and a good amount of lockers. There are a variety of classes… something for everyone. I’m especially looking forward to taking the aerial yoga and TRX classes.
On my first visit, I had the pleasure of taking two classes with Melissa. Yin yoga was so amazing & relaxing with a lot of props to use for support (blocks, blankets and bolsters). I would love it if the class was 75 minutes. I also took Hatha Yoga Level 2, which was perfectly heated.
There’s no reason not to try this studio. They offer a free week of yoga!
The girls at the front desk are sweet and helpful. The owner, Aileen, is so welcoming, knowledgeable and experienced. I’ll be back to experience other classes and instructors.

Fresh and new. This place is B-​I-​G. 3 rooms, holding like 65, 45 and 25 students/​yogis. In a big strip mall, centrally located in Costa Mesa. I’m liking the newness of it and of course enjoyed my YIN and Hatha style classes offered by Melissa C. today. but like any new place, they have sort out some stuff, like offering water and putting soap in the showers. It’s week 1. So it’s expected. I’m having high hopes on this being a pre-​eminent yoga studio in OC.
I’ve planted the seed with the owner to have some gong baths or hosting some kirtan chanting Krishna Das or Jai Uttal. It’s what a look for in a studio, on-​line sign=ups for classes, easy in and out, heated rooms and great teachers.
They also have TRX and hammocks for those that enjoy aerial maneuvers in the smallest room. I“m not into that stuff, so I can’t really comment, but I hear its rare to find in the OC.
