Dang Good Yoga!

I am so grateful that I found Dang Good Yoga. Chris is a fantastic teacher who gives extremely clear directions. With the small studio atmosphere, every student gets the needed attention to grow within their individual practice.
Sherry is amazing. Her classes are always a treat because she is so knowledgeable and inspiring.
Christine provides a grounding and flowing class.
Robert gives a great start to the morning with his positivity and gentle poses.
Daryl and Maria are amazing, too!
Meditation with Dr. Iwona is a wonderful experience.
Love, love, love my yoga studio. The teachers here have helped me to find exercise I love because it makes me feel stronger, more balanced, more grounded, more confident, and more relaxed in body, mind, and soul!

Great level one workout with Robert. Definitely, signing on for more classes!

Full disclosure on this review: it has been MONTHS since I last attended a class at Dang Good Yoga!, but the only reason I have not returned is due to financial limitations. I hope to return soon, as I thoroughly enjoyed the month of classes this winter, and I am now also gainfully employed, (yay!). The instructors were skilled and friendly, and I especially liked Nam’s good humor, as well as Heather’s instruction. She was a bit sassy, which I like at yoga as people can sometimes take things too seriously, (think the South Park Prius episode). The people here are not trying to «outyoga» everyone else or force philosophy on customers in any way, there is a lighthearted element, they tell jokes and take time to get to know people in the classes, but there is also careful, individual attention to make sure everyone is finding postures safely. The classes I tend to look for are on the more restorative side because I find it a great counter to the work I do at crossfit and also running/​biking. I struggle with mobility and love going to yoga. The central location is great, the studio is clean and inviting. I will certainly be back as soon as I am able.

I’ve been to this studio many times for a variety of offerings. Chris is an amazing yoga instructor and massage therapist. Her healing touch has helped me through stressful times at work and old injuries. Dang Good Yoga also offers hula hoop dance lessons, belly dancing, body talk and even parter yoga (acro yoga)! It’s a small, but efficient and cozy studio. There is ample parking in the garage directly behind the studio, or on the street out front. This place really is DANG GOOD! :-)

Love this studio! Chris is great! Studio is cozy and offers lots of fun alternatives (belly dancing). Great addition to community!

Dang Good Yoga is a absolute the best choice for yoga, massage, and healing in town. They have great diversity of classes and teachers. Beautiful hand painted yoga studio has easy access and parking. Chris and Vu, who own the studio are kind, caring and professional teachers. I highly recommend their services.

I really like this studio. I’ve been coming here for about 3 weeks, they have an awesome deal for unlimited usage the first month. I hope I will be able to afford to come as often once this month is up. I’ve taken several different yoga classes with Chris and she is really good. I am a first timer and not that great at yoga but she goes slow and helps you. I find the classes hard yet challenging. I love their hoop classes –this has given me a great excuse to start hooping again. I’ve already progressed and mastered some tricks. Their schedule works very well with mine and it’s close to my house so it is kinda the perfect match!

An absolute gem! I really believe in what they are doing here.
The instruction at DGY is top notch. I am a strength coach so I have background in movement and anatomy, but no prior yoga experience. Recognizing both my abilities and limitations Chris progressed me quickly in some poses, while offering beginner modifications on my more challenging movements. I really appreciate the tempo of the classes, moving through the poses without rushing through them. The language used in class is clear so I always feel like I know what I’m supposed to try to do, even if I am not there yet. As other reviewers said, a completely accepting and welcoming environment — with great interplay between the basics and playful introductions to the next level.
When I began at this studio I had some nagging issues with lower back pain, and thanks to Chris’ attention to detail and focus on challenging me while protecting the low back and knees, the pain is eliminated. In my experience as a trainer, I have worked with women whose lumbar pain was exacerbated by their yoga practice — not a concern here. Without hesitation I can recommend this studio for any level because I have seen that the teachers can work with novice to injured to advanced.

After a long day at work, nothing is better than a class at Dang Good Yoga. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and centered, as well as challenged and strengthened. As a relative beginner (a few classes at the gym), I wanted to make sure that I was performing the poses correctly and getting the most benefit from my practice. The small class sizes ranging from just me to 8 students is less intimidating, allows time for hands on adjustments, and personalization based on skill level. If you are interested in trying yoga for the first time or finding a new, reasonably priced studio, you should stop by Dang Good Yoga.

Amazing yoga studio. I have been here multiple times and even got a massage there (incredible!). I love this place and can’t wait to go back. I turned a few friends on to the place and they love it too!
Do yourself a favor and get your New Years resolution going early!!! Get to Dang Good yoga, you will not regret it!

Small, clean, welcoming Yoga studio in Escondido. Love the way Chris guides us thru her class. Highly recommended, I will be going back.

What can I say, Dang Good Yoga is Dang Good! As a beginner to Yoga and having some physical limitations Chris has been amazing in helping me grow in my practice. Friendly atmosphere and nice people make a pleasant Saturday morning. The Body Talk and a massage from Chris is also highly recommended.

I just started taking yoga classes with Chris a few weeks ago. As an absolute beginner to the yoga scene, I really appreciate the no-​judgement and welcoming attitude of this studio. I’ve been getting a fantastic workout here and after class it’s like I’m floating on a cloud! The class sizes are small, and on more than one occasion I’ve been the only one in class. You’ll definitely get personalized guidance here.
I was rather scared to try yoga, but now I’m really glad I did at Dang Good Yoga.

I recently moved to Escondido and started to look for a yoga studio. This one appealed to me the most and while I have only taken a yoga and hoop class I love it. The environment is calm and welcoming. Chris is a great instructor and very genuine. This place is everything you could hope for — not just any yoga studio, but a healing center.

I’ve been here a couple times and both times it was awesome. Yesterday, I took a class from Jonni — it was wonderful! It was a hard but gentle work out. She would suggest different moves for the different levels of yogis so that we all got what we wanted out of the class. She emphasized the importance of relaxation while holding poses. She came over and rubbed my shoulders because they were too high and I relaxed into the pose and felt my core take over — amazing! The smaller personal classes ensure that you get your money’s worth! I’ve been a new person in other studios and felt ignored or out of place since I’m not a regular yogi– but this was not that way at all! So welcoming!

Small yoga studio with hardwood floors and plenty of props to use. Parking is available in the garage behind the studio — entrance is on Fifteenth Avenue.
Apparently this location is fairly new, so classes have ranged from just me to three other people. If you’ve ever wanted a private yoga class, you might just get one here! All the teachers have been great, but Heather is definitely my favorite! She’s also a massage therapist and gives you a great mini-​massage at the end. This studio also offers belly dancing, tai chi, and hooping, but I only attended the yoga classes.

Chris is a calm yoga instructor and massage therapist in tune with her students needs. The studio is nice and small.
