Infinite Yoga

I love this studio. This is a supportive community that shares a love of yoga. The instructors are top notch and interested in teaching and proper alignment. Trevor does a phenomenal job at making people feel welcome, regardless of their membership, how often they show, or how long it has been. Finally, the addition of the spin studio has been a welcome addition bringing a spin/​yoga class. There are limitless options for fitness and adventure in San Diego, but infinite will always be a go to for me.

Unfortunately I had to move from San Diego, but I felt compelled to write a review because I am frequently reminded of what a special place Infinite Yoga is! Trevor and Dana are wonderful teachers. They are both very knowledgeable and their dedication and love for teaching is transparent. Dana has a special way of challenging students (always appropriately) to deepen their practice and understanding. I always appreciated Trevor’s light-​heartedness, which in Mysore facilitated acceptance and patience.
I know I will not find a replacement studio– I am just grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from them and carry those lessons with me.

The Mysore class with Trevor is amazing ! His adjustments teach me that I can go way deeper into a posture than I thought. Instructors are both caring and knowledgable. The atmosphere and people in the class enable be to work hard yet have fun.

I work in the Little Italy area and had finally tracked down my favorite teacher of all time, Bonnie, who was teaching there. I attended the Sunday intro class to get the three free classes they offer to try it out. Trevor, one of the owners gave the introduction about the classes, and we did a little yoga, and I didn’t leave with a great feeling, just based on Trevor’s level of sarcasm and running joke commentary. I understand he’s British and humor is so appreciated and necessary in life, but it was too much for a yoga class.
Last Sunday my wife and I were doing a Little Italy staycation so I decided to attend a Fundamentals class, honestly hoping it wasn’t with Trevor, but it was, and after this class I don’t think I’ll be back.
Besides the sarcasm and the running stand up comedy, which makes me feel as though the class is all about him and us laughing at his weak jokes, at one point he came over and pushed on my knee to try and straighten it further. I’ve been doing yoga off and on for over 20 years and have actually been injured by a previous teacher. When he kept pressing I said no, I have tight hamstrings and he got sarcastic to the class «Oh, tight hamstrings, no one else has those». And then proceeded to make additional comments throughout the class about «for those of us who are working on our hamstrings…»
Between the sarcasm, the constant stand up routine, and lack of awareness that we might know better than him, a total stranger, who never asked if anyone had any injuries, what our body’s limitations are, and the difficult parking I don’t think I’ll even go back for my third free class. There were a good amount of people in the class, so obviously it works for some people, but if you go to yoga to get away from the world for an hour, be able to emotionally relax and be in a comfortable atmosphere and let your guard down, as well as get a great workout I wouldn’t recommend Infinite Yoga.

I took the Tuesday night class with Bonnie. She was wonderful! As a more beginning student she was very helpful in adjusting me and offering me modifications. I am looking forward to returning for her class bi-​weekly.
In regards to the studio as a whole, the staff at the front desk was very friendly and the studio was just right. I enjoyed the lack of mirrors as it allowed me to focus on my breath and movement rather than what I looked like in the mirror. It was very calming. The space is smaller but there was plenty of room for all of the students to have our own space. I appreciate Infinite Yoga immensely and would highly recommend it.

I love this studio. Dana and Trevor are such great hosts/​teachers and offer wonderful classes and yoga focus groups for all levels. This studio is the first I’ve been to that I can actually say my practice has improved greatly. My husband and I recently attended the Valentines Day Couples Class and were really thrilled. It was romantic and lively fun. All the teachers are well rounded and awesome practitioners and I find something valuable with all of them. The newest one, Morgan, brings to her classes a wealth of knowledge and experience about the body and how it moves which brings a greater dimension to the poses. Her gentle flowing style has strengthened my body beyond my greatest imagination and deepened my abilities and stamina for my practice. What a great addition to an already amazing staff! Look no further for your studio. This place will feel like home.

I’ve tried a number of yoga studios in San Diego and Infinite is by far my favorite. Good prices — just $ 11 a class if you buy a class card. Dana is awesome and the studio has a nice welcoming vibe. All classes have a strong Astanga base.

Janike’s improv class was outstanding — it’s a combination quick flow, strength building and stretching. I recently started practicing several different flows and her class was one of my favorites. I loved the step-​by-​step instructions to expand our practice and muscles. I’ll be back for more — I feel stronger already! #fititforward

Really enjoy this Shala and try to go as much as I can. All the teachers are great, but my personal fav is Troy. (I wish he was there more than just 3x a week!)

One of my favorite yoga studios in San Diego… Operated by masters who’ve dedicated their life in serving others. OM shanti ~

I started my practice recently, and has been a great experience. The Foundation classes had helped me to understand what yoga is about, and enjoy it.
The Studio environment is comfortable. You are challenged, as a student, but not intimidated.
Great instructors!

As a student of Ashtanga yoga from age 14 to early 20’s with Tim Miller, I am used to a certain level of purist ashtanga yoga. I have found a great equivalent here at Infinite. Infinite is sensitive to their students’ needs, spiritual, knowledgeable and modern. The yoga space is big and no mirrors; room gets to about 82 degrees with 15 students practicing. Infinite has the perfect mix of yoga for mind and body!

Situated in Little Italy, Infinite Yoga is tailored for those who want an authentic Ashtanga practice. After trying out most of the yoga studios in the San Diego region, I was starting to feel a little jaded and bored with my practice. I felt that my practice was becoming more physical than mental, and I wasn’t sure if I was really going anywhere with it.
At the urging of my yogini/​yogi friends, I tried Infinite. I don’t regret it at all, and I wish I came sooner. The teachers I have had here are very nice and they each have their own style and flair; you are bound to have a unique experience with each of them (in a good way!). Most of them have trained directly under Tim Miller (whose studio, FYI, is AMAZING, but I digress). Not only that, but the classes are challenging, not just physically but mentally as well. While I enjoy physically demanding classes that strengthen my balance and stamina, the actual mental process that goes on within each posture and breath makes the practice inspiring and worthwhile. To me, that is what differentiates yoga from acrobatics or gymnastics.
I’ve tried both the all-​levels and Level ¾ classes and I enjoyed them immensely. Even if there are some postures that seem too intimidating in the Improv Level ¾, there is a modification or an option, so I encourage any intermediate yogi/​yogini to try them out and explore their boundaries. While I can do inversions quite well, I still have difficulties going in and out of backbends (how *do* you get in and out of urdva dhanurasana?), so I use the wall and I’m not criticized for it. :)
For beginners, they do have classes for them as well. On Sundays there is the Foundations class and during the week there is a Core25 class that works with the core (obviously) and finishes with more restorative postures. I don’t recommend complete beginners to take the Ashtanga classes unless you are very familiar with the Primary series. Although I have taken the all-​levels Primary Series class, I did think it was fairly challenging. The Ashtanga classes are comfortably heated at 80 degrees, which I think is perfect. I’m not a hot yoga practitioner (I actually hate hot yoga, tbh), but a little heat goes a long way and complements the internal heat your body builds as you get deeper into your asana.
Periodically this studio will hold workshops and retreats. I haven’t taken them, but I have heard through friends they are worthwhile and informative. Very occasionally there will be class specials, so I encourage anyone to check out the website frequently to take advantage of them.
Because this is located in Little Italy, parking can be kind of tricky, so make sure you familiarize yourself with the location. I haven’t had issues finding parking, but if you are coming in before 6 pm, make sure you park a block or two away from the studio (where there is 2 hour parking). Otherwise, it is $ 1.25 per hour at the front. I think they give parking passes for students who are unlimited members; I haven’t inquired about it as I’ve just done drop ins and parked a little further away from the studio. As for the studio space itself, it’s reasonably sized and I’ve never had an issue with being too close to my neighbor (or maybe the times I went it wasn’t full, lol). It can be a little confusing the first time you come in because you have to walk through a very long hallway until you finally reach the actual studio lobby. There is a little dressing room and some Manduka products for your purchasing needs.
If you are looking to deepen your practice with yoga, I encourage you to come to Infinite. I guarantee you’ll have a wonderful experience after one class session.

What a great yoga studio a jewel with amazing instructors and precise classes and sessions. If you want to practice the real thing this is your place. I’m so fortunate I have them so close to my home. See you next time in practice.

This IS as good as it gets!
We practiced with Dana & Trevor, and many other amazing instructors (Oreste, Troy, Deanna) here for a few years (before we had to relocate). And we have them to thank for our strong foundation. I hear their reminders about alignment, form and breath in my head when I’m in other yoga classes now. They are so dedicated, supportive, endearing and thoughtful. And the space is so relaxing and expansive, with beautiful floors and high ceilings. It is meticulously cleaned.
We are so thankful toward them! And we are so jealous of those of you that live in SD that can just pop on over to a class.

Awesome safe powerful and joyful. I’m sad I don’t live in town to take classes more often

I was browsing online for yoga teacher training programs in San Diego… I stumbled upon Infinite Yoga and am so glad I did! The training allows you to completely immerse yourself in two 10 day sessions of yoga. Dana gives great instructions for how to talk students through postures, demonstrations/​alignment, appropriate adjustments, as well as learning Sanskrit and history of yoga. IYTT develops confident, insightful yoga instructors.
If you’re not looking for a teacher training but a studio to practice at Infinite Yoga is definitely the place to go! Dana, Trevor & all instructors are amazing! Everyone is very caring and loves what they do. This is a studio for serious students of yoga or for those interested to find out about yoga. A variety of classes are offered, Dana also offers additional workshops and retreats. I have bounced around for years trying classes at different studios, gyms, etc. but feel I have finally found somewhere to continue developing my practice with.

I LOVE this place. It’s one of the only places around the metro area that offers Mysore classes, so that gives it 5 stars right there. The teachers are awesome. Dana Rae’s yoga focus classes are great. I just wish that I lived within walking distance of this place!

Dana is a very popular teacher. This is understandable as she possesses a charismatic presence, is thoroughly dedicated to her practice, and is a dedicated teacher of teachers. I’ve been following her in my own practice since before Infinite Yoga was established.
Trevor’s hands on help in Mysore helped me develop my practice beyond many self imposed limits I’d been hindered by.
I received my Teacher Training with Dana. As a dance teacher, I really could appreciate her advocating a specific and clear use of language, devoid of ambiguity, and designed to make students feel at ease. Dana embodies these principles in each of her classes and encourages them in her teachers as well. We also received a thorough background on the history and philosophy of yoga. As well there were numerous and very helpful critical feedback sessions where we evaluated teaching between training, and observed ourselves in video. In my experience this was truly a unique and rigorous approach to yoga teacher training, and one designed to support would-​be-​teachers and yoga aficionados alike.
At Infinite Yoga I especially appreciated the non-​nonsense approach to practice in a non-​dogmatic, non-​religious environment.
The studio is gorgeous, tucked away in San Diego’s Little Italy and Arts District, and is meticulously cared for. No smelly yoga rooms or funky carpets here!
Truly a contemporary yoga practice, warm (many classes are gently heated to provide safety and suppleness of limbs). welcoming, and inspired and grounded in the Ashtanga tradition.
I’m sure to visit Infinite Yoga every time I’m in San Diego.

I started my yoga practice at Infinite and have witnessed my practice grow over the years through the variety of levels, great instructors, workshops and retreats that Infinite offers. Dana and Trevor are great and have excelled at creating a community amongst the people that practice at their beloved studio.
I highly recommend Infinite to beginners as well as those with a strong practice who are looking to deepen their understanding of traditional yoga.
