Yoga Vibe At the Village

Love, love, love this place. For starters, I’m new to yoga. I Crossfit so mobility, balance and core are areas that I need to focus on. I joined last week and have tried five different classes with five different instructors. I have enjoyed each class for different reasons so will continue for the long haul. I don’t know the other members but they seem fine. I’m more used to my Crossfit classes where the people tend to be more talkative. It could just be that yoga is more about meditation that explains the difference.

Elyse is one of the most knowledgeable, encouraging yet challenging yoga teachers I have found on my yoga journey. So sorry she is leaving Glendale and headed to Santa Rosa to share all of her wonderful yoga vibes and knowledge up north. Everyone up there is in for a real treat.

I’ve been taking classes with Elyse for a several years, and she continues to teach me new things. Sad for Glendale that we’re losing her, but it’s Santa Rosa’s gain. We’ll miss you Elyse!

Glendale’s loss is Santa Rosa’s gain. Thoughtful yoga tailored to a student’s needs. You will have fun as you sweat and heal. I cannot wait until I have the chance to visit the new location.

Elyse is the BEST! I’m so sad she is moving away from Glendale but Santa Rosa is lucky to have her. She is so talented and caring, really helping her clients look and feel the best inside and out. Her voice puts you at ease but pushes you to where you feel comfortable. Even with a disability, Elyse makes me feel strong and confident to keep working at MY practice. I will miss her dearly.

Elyse and Yoga at the Village have enriched my life in so many ways. There is of course the physical improvement, growth, strength, maintenance, and over all body knowledge; but Elyse, her teaching, her studio have given me an understanding and mindfulness I appreciate in every aspect of my life. I can’t thank her enough for introducing me to my posture and my abdomen. I leave her class and my body feels incredible, my heart is full, and my mind is alert, active. I think she has given me a way towards a healthy and full life.

Been going to Yoga At The Village for over 10 years: lovely room, wonderful people and great classes. The studio will now continue its journey in Santa Rosa, CA. Sad for me, but I certainly plan to visit the new location.

Great place. Safe and serene. No mirrors. Elyse is moving to Santa Rosa, lucky them! She is the best. Skilled safe and fun. Yoga the way it should always be.

Elyse is the most knowledgeable and caring yoga teacher I have found in my 5 years of yoga. She is able to modify any pose and work with any ability. She is now in Santa Rosa and we will miss her in Glendale. Glendale has a large hole to fill.

This place is just so peaceful and perfect. The teachers are amazing. My favorite are definitely elaine, janine and Dani.

Love this place. The teachers are wonderful. This place is a sanctuary that nourishes the body the mind and the soul. Sending my gratitude (as we say in class) to Luna; my first yoga teacher who is a sweet positive guidance helping us to become more bendy. LoL. I’m always in such an excellent mood after my class. The evening classes are also wonderful and relaxing. They’re more laid back, more stretching and somewhat meditative.

This place is awesome! As soon as you walk in the whole vibe of the place is super calming, the front desk workers are amazing and always great with a smile. The teachers are fabulous. They are very hands on and really try to meet your needs so that your practice is structured for the individual and not the class as a whole. They also have a pretty wide range of class times so I can always find one to fit my schedule!

I tried this place under its previous ownership under a trial membership, but I liked this studio and the staff. It’s generally very busy and draws excellent instructors. I hope the new management keeps up the great work of the previous owner.

After driving by for years, I FINALLY decided to take a class. I couldn’t be more happy. My instructor was VERY friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The studio is clean and overall has a great vibe to it. So glad I signed up and am looking forward to the next class.

I came to this studio at a very interesting time, a time in which management was changing. I took one flow class during the old management period and found that the class was very gentle and boring to my liking. In fact, most of the schedule consisted of gentle and restorative classes. Nothing wrong with that! However, it could have used more vinyasa styles of yoga.
One week later, I went across their website and noticed that the classes and descriptions all changed. Turns out they changed ownership and they are now called Yoga Vibe. The person at the front desk mentioned that they changed the classes to be more of a flow, so definitely not as gentle! Also, you get a free class in the week of your birthday that I took advantage of.
The bathroom and dressing room are located in awkward locations. There is a makeshift dressing room held together by curtains and located right by the front desk. Thankfully, the curtains are opaque. The bathroom is located inside the back of the studio.
As for the classes under new ownership, I took a couple mixed flow classes that are pretty decent. I also took the Carl Special that emphasizes on stretching and flexibility — a great class.
Other than that, I am happy the direction the new management is taking this studio.

In my 20’s I did Iyengar. In my 30’s I did Bikram. In my 40’s, I do Yoga at the Village. The classes remind me of Iyengar-​light. Props and the wall help to perfect poses. The instructors keep the mood light and positive without the usual «yoga talk». Corrections are appropriate and comprehensible. The temperature isn’t too hot or too cold, and the environment is inviting. I hope the new owners recognize what works and don’t change too much, though I greatly appreciate the extension of class series to one year (instead of expiring in 90 days).

I absolutely love yoga and cannot wait to get certified. This place, by far is my favorite yoga studio in Glendale. The prices are reasonable and the studio is very clean, with lots of parking available as well. The teachers are wonderful. I have even been here for Kirtan music and loved it, so much fun!
Elyse is my favorite, knows exactly how to challenge us and correct us with the proper positions. She helped my boyfriend stretch out his very first class and positions to help with his back problems. Alexandra and Carl, they all are wonderful and so knowledgeable. So if you are looking for a yoga studio to go to, this is the spot!

This was only my second time taking classes at a yoga studio so I don’t know how this place compares with most yoga studios but I really liked it. I took 10 classes here with an Amazon Local deal and I enjoyed every class I went to. The studio itself is nice, clean, and inviting. All the things you need for class (aside from a mat) are provided for you. All the teachers I took classes from were good; they were nice and made class easy to follow and comfortable no matter what level you’re at. On days I went to class I even noticed myself walking with better posture for the rest of the day. And the focus in class is on the yoga itself which I liked; it wasn’t overly «hippy» if you don’t like that sort of thing. You don’t have to sign up for classes ahead of time, you can just show up. I can’t wait to come back!

I bought a groupon to come here. So far I have been to two classes. Both classes have been very different, but great! The instructors are all so nice and helpful. They don’t push you beyond what you are comfortable with and are very helpful. And they do not do anything of that zen, live in the moment, let me lecture you how to live stuff. They stick to yoga and they do it really well. Other studios I’ve been to have made me feel uncomfortable, but they are all so welcoming here. I can’t wait to take more classes!

I started coming here in 2011 with the Groupon offer. I loved it so much I decided to become a yoga teacher. I took the 200 teacher training elsewhere (terrible mistake that I regret) and came back to get my 300hr Teach Training (best decision ever!). Now I’ll even be teaching a class starting in 2013!
The space is 800sq ft: big enough to play and small enough to be intimate.
NO MIRRORS. because really, are we checking our form? no. we’re looking at how our butts look in our yoga pants.
Lots o’ props! Seriously. This place has everything from high quality blocks, to chairs, to a rope wall.
The teachers: Simply amazing. I never considered myself «good» at yoga because I didn’t think I was flexible. The kind, compassionate and knowledgeable teachers work with you from where ever you are that day. They encourage, they push, they teach you about yourself — all in a very non-​threatening way.
From the spiritual to the delightfully irreverant, YATV has something to offer the very experienced to the brand new.

The good thing is that I have done some classes, and the bad thing is that I can’t commit the mula (worth every penny) to do it every day. Elyse is one amazing lady , she made me twist, stand and flex some muscles that I didn’t know I had, what a teacher… she is funny and carrying… and makes the session fun.
love this place and would recommend it to those shy from trying Yoga or any exercise class for that matter

I love this place. Every instructor has something different to bring to the table.
It’s not the basic sun salutations, I could do a home video if I wanted that.
I crave going to there classes.

Having explored a number of yoga studios in and around the area, Yoga At the Village is my absolute favorite. I have learned something from each and every instructor I’ve taken a class from there, and always come away from classes feeling relaxed yet invigorated.
The fact that they have a rope wall is a big plus for me, as it means being able to hang from the ropes (it’s like a chiropractic adjustment without the expense), or otherwise use them to move deeper into poses. The use of various types of props in classes enables students to deepen their relationship to the poses.
Their instructors have unique styles and personalities (Carl is a real hoot!), and all of them evince a deep commitment to the practice of yoga as well as to their students. I appreciate that the instructors aren’t just there to get their own workout, but rather to correct student alignment and assist them in creating a safe, thoughtful, aware practice. Every single instructor I’ve taken a class from has made me feel welcome, as have those people working the front desk.
The studio is clean and well-​lit. Parking is plentiful and convenient.

AMAZING STAFF! Such a relaxing and wonderful experience… will definitely come back again, and again, and again. They offer a wide selection of classes at an even better variety of times from 6am to 7pm you can find a class almost every day to fit into your schedule/​fit your interests.
This studio uses alot of props, which i LOVE, and the instructors take their time to hold positions and really get you stretched out… as well as correct your posture and help you focus on breathing. Best Yoga experience I have had since moving to LA (best experience since even before moving here!)
