Yoga Munkey

My friend and I each bought a Groupon for three Reiki sessions which were incredibly hard to book. My friend called and attempted to book Reiki she said that she left them a voicemail message and three days later they had not responded to her so I called and I left a message attempting to book for the 2 of us. Two days later I had not received a phone call back so I called and left another message. After three voicemails I finally got a callback from Madi. I scheduled my Reiki session and told her my friend had a hard time getting a hold of them and she wanted to schedule her session as well. When I went in for my session it was kind of weird because there was a yoga class happening and it ended right when my appointment was supposed to be so I waited outside. The staff was friendly and nice and gave me a tour of the facility. I did my Reiki session and it was okay. I had never done Reiki before so I didn’t really know what to expect but I felt incredibly relaxed during the session. Afterwards I asked Madi when I should come again and she said that my body would know. That I would start to feel different again and I could call her at any moment and schedule again. She also said to call her at any time if I had any questions that she would always be available by phone in the next couple days if I felt I needed to talk to her. I left there thinking that maybe after the next two sessions I would really notice a difference with Reiki and thought my experience was okay and forgot about how hard it was to book and I moved on. I told my friend about the experience and begged her to give them a second chance. I didn’t notice my body feeling different but I had an open mind to it.
Unfortunately though two weeks later I decided to call Madi to schedule another session and I never heard back from her. My friend told me she was calling them as well and not hearing back to schedule. I called a total of 5 times for a month trying to get a hold of someone to schedule my next session but I never received a phone call back. It was very frustrating because I paid $ 90 for a three session Groupon and I was not hearing back from anybody. At least I heard back once and got to experience one Reiki session but my friend never got a phone call back from anybody and her Groupon expired.
If they really have a lot of clients and are overwhelmed they could at least book you a couple weeks out but to not return your phone calls is completely unprofessional and terrible customer service!

I Love Yoga Munkey and Love being included in the Yoga Munkey Family! This is a follow-​up to a review I did a year ago. I wanted to let everyone know that my initial impression was fantastic, but this past year has been so uplifting. I could not imagine my great fortune at that time; Oh I had an inkling of how special Yoga Munkey was but wow. Madi and Alex are as gracious and welcoming as family, they have created in Yoga Munkey a place to be re-​charged. I love the «Yoga for the Stiff Guy» class and all the men and women who regularly attend it. Drop in for a yoga class and immerse yourself in the energy of this special place.

After my first post, Madi was able to get in touch with me & explain the reason for the delay. Since then I’ve had two reiki treatments, one with each of Madi & Alex. I’m happy to say that both treatments were great and it is obvious with my interactions with Madi & Alex that they both love what they do. Their studio is very nice, and I look forward to trying out a yoga class with them in the future.

Yoga munkey is such a unique place with great energy, positive flow, and inspiring people. Cozy studio. You walk in and immediately feel a welcoming warmth. Owners are respectful and hospitable. The other people/​clients (?) are so wonderful too.
Easy parking; easy to find. Pretty gazebo in front. I always leave with a smile.

This review is for an hour head and neck massage. Started off with a very kind introduction and how their business started along with a tour of the facility. She explained what happens in a facility besides massages (yoga, classes, etc). The facility was exceptionally clean, my masseuse was extremely talented and I would definitely come back for a massage or any other classes they have.

What a fantastic addition to our community here in Vista. My husband and I took a class on Friday morning with Madi. It was my husbands first. Madi was so wonderful! She made us feel welcome and at home. She is a wonderful teacher! We WILL be back!

What a peaceful experience. It was very relaxing and peaceful. Studio was clean & quiet. I will need to check out some of their classes.
Street construction was a little challenge to get around. But I’m sure that will be done soon.

Alex and the rest of the Yoga Munkey staff are fantastic! I found the yoga sessions to be very uplifting and therapeutic. Also, I had the pleasure of attending a one-​on-​one reiki healing session with Alex as well. You couldn’t find a better yoga studio in the area that offers as much as this facility. I highly recommend Yoga Munkey to anyone in the area who is interested in yoga and alternative healing therapies.

I had an amazing experience at yoga munkey. Alex is very knowledgeable and taught me so much. He truly is a great yogi. It’s a completely different feel in these classes as compared to other classes here in north county.

Love this place! You don’t walk into a business, you walk into a community. Seriously, I knew everyone’s name by the end. Madie welcomed me warmly at the door. I felt extremely welcome coming by myself and it was a comforting, fun atmosphere. Greg was the instructor and he checked in with me individually at least 3 times throughout the class. I haven’t ever had as awesome experience at a yoga studio as I have had here. I also love the way Greg instructed us. Stretching and breathing out the pain brought me more relief than I have ever experienced since I began yoga 2 years ago. Overall, awesome built-​in, welcoming community and great relief. Totally worth it!

I’m from the LA area and is my first time here, thus it was such a wonderful experience. Yoga can be intense but it was so worth it. Definitely a peaceful and uplifting thing. The instructor was very attentive and very into the movements for the students to do. I’ll definitely return again

Yoga Munkey has a tranquil and welcoming environment that starts with the lovely people that inhabit it. Madi was very welcoming and friendly and went above and beyond in administering the specialized Head & Neck Therapy I received. I cannot express what a difference just one visit to this professional healer has made in my life. I can turn my head and the tension is gone for the first time in years. Amazing! I also has the pleasure of taking a Yoga class with Louise who made me feel equally as comfortable and was very supportive, friendly and understanding of this being my first official yoga class. This was not just Yoga, it was mind and body therapy at its finest. I cannot say enough about how much I have enjoyed my first time at Yoga Munkey, I give them my highest recommendation and I hope to form a long term relationship with these lovely people and their business. Thank you Madi and Yoga Munkey (a cool name too) for a superior and relaxing experience!

I had a good feeling about Yoga Munkey after reading the Unilocal reviews and visiting the website, so decided to give it a try. There is absolutely no other studio like this in the area! Classes are small, the other clients are friendly, and the staff is amazing! They really treat you like a part of the family. The Pilates classes are THE BEST!!! They’re challenging, but the environment is very supportive and modifications are always offered to make the moves comfortable for anyone.
Take advantage of the online deal and check them out! You won’t regret it!

I had a wonderful experience at my first class at yoga munkey yesterday. After a terrible experience at Peace love and yoga, I headed to yoga munkey to see what their studio was all about. I was blown away by the beautiful and intricate artwork and decorations. The class was small and wonderful. Our yogi Alex, guided us through pose and after pose with compassion and care. I loved his energy full of kindness and the special attention he gave each of us as we practiced. He also played beautiful piano for us. Overall it was a wonderful and magical experience and I cannot wait to go back!

With all the options for practicing yoga out there, this place offers a special touch for experienced yogi’s and new beginners. I think the number one asset is the staff, each person I have met has been genuine and helpful, and I can sense their passion for what they do. To top it off, they have great rates and offer a variety of classes to add some variety! I highly recommend this place. :)

As a first time «yogi» @ age 63 I was not sure what to expect or at what level the practitioners would be. Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging, great practice leaders all including Madi, Alex, Louise, Greg and Jessica. Great place to explore yoga for the first time, or as others have told me, for the experienced practicioner.

I gave 4 stars because I’ve never done yoga before, so have nothing to compare it to. I’ve taken 5 classes, so far, and intend to take more. The environment is so friendly! Everyone welcomed me and made me feel very comfortable. The environment is very relaxed, we even did some laughing and joking last night! The instructors talk to everyone and ask how you’re feeling to get an over all feel for how they should push the class. There are several classes geared towards many practices — Yoga for the Stiff Guy, Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, Hatha Yoga, Hot Munkey Flow and more!
I heard about Yoga Munkey through Joint Medical, where I am a patient. I have to say the warm, friendly atmosphere I experienced there, carries over to Yoga Munkey. I think it’s a great place for beginners or those who may enjoy a more relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere.

Pros: Alex is an attentive yoga instructor and was very welcoming during my 1^st visit. So sore the day after but I loved being able to push my body in a very relaxed environment.
Cons: Location is hard to find & small.

I miss Yoga Munkey & More so much! If I had not had to move away I would still be at every class I could! I highly recommend this great studio to anyone for their mental and physical health/​well being. It’s what I looked forward to during my week. Zumba was fun and freeing, and the yoga was both relaxing and rejuvenating (to name just a couple effects/​benefits). I learned a lot from the instruction as well. I suggest purchasing a monthly membership and trying all the classes. And bring a friend!
