Triad Yoga & Pilates

Best first time experience.. Took the prenatal yoga class with Carmla. her sweet soft tone and extensive knowledge of an expecting mothers needs where impressive. I had been suffering from severe insomia for months and was on my 48^th hour of no sleep… after this class, no joke I slept 6 hours straight! Thank you Carmela and Triad.

Lovely studio. Took a Mat Pilates class with Andi on Sunday. Not crowded, plenty of equipment available (balls, bands & mats) in good condition. I normally take yoga classes, but wanted to give pilates a try. Class was challenging for me, but the instructor was very helpful & attentive for anyone who needed to make adjustments.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience at Triad. I move a lot, so I have experienced many teaching styles and yoga studios and Triad was one of the best well rounded studios I have found.
I always appreciate a place where I can find a good workout, meditational flow, or restorative, and this time I was introduced to mat pilates which ended up being one of my favorites.
And I was so happy finding a place with small classes to escape the chaos of Southern California (I typically live in small towns).
If trying Triad for the first time:
Tasha– Does a wonderful well rounded yoga practice. When you come out of class you feel renewed and awake
Julie– is more power yoga oriented, makes you sweat and always allows some time to play and learn new skills
Ellen– Strict yet compassionate, her mat pilates class fixed my shoulders, hips and back
These were my go to classes that fit with my schedule. But I have faith that all the instructors here are welcoming and knowledgable

I purchased a groupon for one month of unlimited yoga and Pilates and I have to say, I love it so far! I used to do Pilates at my old gym a few years ago and loved the results but now in my current gym (la fitness), their yoga/​Pilates classes are subpar. The size of the class is too big which means less individual attention for corrections and adjustments. So far, I’ve done two Pilates classes and my experience has been great. The small class size really allows instructors to help you 1:1. The two different instructors were very helpful. No complaints as of now! Since I have a month here, I’m going to maximize my time!

I came to this studio because of the 10 class Unilocal deal and I’m so glad that I did. So far I’ve taken 2 prenatal yoga classes with Carmela and I’ve left each class feeling wonderful. It’s relaxing and the perfect pace for me, but also a little bit challenging. I’ve taken prenatal yoga before when I was pregnant with my oldest, and I never felt like I was actually getting a physical challenge in any way before this class. I will definitely continue to come here once my 10 classes are up!

I’ve been to many of the local studios. Triad has a boutique feeling with smaller classes, a welcoming attitude, often better teachers, and a focus on authentic practice. Mark and Newton, the owners, are two of my favorites. Humble guys with tremendous skill. Thank you Triad!

I received an email from a fellow student at Triad that felt I was unfair to pass this judgement on Mark & Triad by only attending 1 class. To clarify for other reviewers: I attended 4 classes in a matter of a week and Mark’s behavior was always the same. It seems he is more rude towards the newbies but is chummy-​chummy with the regulars.
There were 2 instructors (can’t remember their names) that were pleasant & nice, yet since Mark is the face of Triad, I cannot support his business.
I will continue my yoga practice, it just won’t be at Triad.

Triad’s reputation as a small studio with a community feel speaks for itself. Mark was my first yoga teacher, 10 years ago. He trained me as a teacher, and inspired me to continue with my own practice and self-​transformation as a yogini.
I was so saddened to read Tiffany V’s negative comments below, and can only say that a one-​time experience is not enough to judge Triad, it’s owners, or the community of practitioners. A positive attitude, openness to the practice and continuous effort over time are what makes a yogini.

At Triad I’ve experienced knowledgable, friendly teachers that help you connect with both Ashtanga and Hatha yoga. It’s a nice, welcoming space and I would recommend it to anyone.

My first time here I took Aubries class and it was the perfect balance of practice and insight. The class was nicely paced and the motions were explained in a very understandable manner. I really enjoyed this class and felt like it was the perfect detox. My tension is now turned into tranquility. Definitely recommend it.

A very unique pod of yoga in Orange County. Love Mark and Newton. They give this place their heart and they deserve only great costumers. Enjoy!

I found this studio through Unilocal.After reading positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. I purchased 10 visits for $ 39. I got with this a free one week buddy pass for my friend. Well, we sought to complete 10 classes in the week’s time so we could get the most experience for our buck. We managed 9 classes in 7 days. Our experience was so positive, we each purchased unlimited classes for a year. It was one of the best decisions I made for my life in a long time.
First and foremost, the instructors are excellent! The classes are a manageable size so the instructors can go throughout the room making corrections and adjustments to your form. They suggest modifications. The atmosphere of the studio is very caring and supportive and emphasis is placed on not just leaving your practice on the mat when you finish class.
Besides yoga there are regular Pilates classes, as well as private and semi-​private yoga and Pilates instruction offered. The private instruction on the Pilates reformer is well worth the cost of admission and I have achieved remarkable benefit from the individualized instruction I have received. If you have suffered injuries in your past Ellen will develop a plan for getting your injured parts working so that you can perform at your best level.
I started coming to the studio with a goal to lose weight and get in better shape, both mentally and physically. My experience has been a great success on all three counts, I’ve lost weight, I’ve lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol and my mental outlook is much healthier.
I’m so glad I found such a great studio!

I bought a groupon for this studio and was reluctant at first. But boy was I wrong to doubt this practice and this studio! Mark and Kerrie are absolutely fantastic. They both helped me with my poses and really helped me focus on my posture and breathing. Even when I was having trouble I received encouragement from both instructors. This is now my go to yoga studio. I would recommend it to anyone!

Bought a groupon deal for this place and it made me fall in love with yoga. The instructors are incredible and make you feel instantly welcome. I loved taking Amy’s class– she radiates so much positive energy I wish I could bring her along with me everyday. A must go to, especially when given an awesome groupon opportunity!

Best Yoga Studio in OC! I met Newton and Mark at one of the apartment classes they taught in the clubhouse. I was hooked! I then became a member! Well worth the money since its unlimited class for a months fee. They are so good and altering their teaching for every level of comfort. The instructors always ask about injuries anyone in class may have so they can tailor the class around those injuries. These are NOT your typical MASS 24 hour fitness Yoga classes! This is legit Yoga! Never been to an actual Yoga studio class? NO problem! I suggest you start here! Be warned, you will get hooked too! Amazing improvement on flexibility, mobility, concentration, relaxation, and great energy! Do yourself a favor and take a class! You wont regret it!

This place rocks! Whether you’re taking a level 2 or restorative class, this place offers many types of yoga with awesome instructors! Clean, positive energy and an overall wonderful experience! A+++++++

I’ve had lower back problems my entire life, so I thought I’d give pilates a try!
Not only did it give an escape route from the stress of an every day life, but it focused my energy and vibes toward strengthening my body.
I will most definitely be going back, tomorrow in fact, and reap the benefits!
Also, wasn’t too crowded and the instructor was there to help every step of the way.

Finding a good yoga instructor is kinda comparable to finding a good dress (maybe a suit for guys)– it’s difficult; there are tons of styles and you want something that speaks to your style and makes you feel good!
I’ve taken Hatha classes with a few instructors at Triad and personally, I love Kerri! Her cool, laid-​back, kind, and encouraging teaching-​style is wonderful for lots of beginners and every class is completely different. In the few classes I’ve taken with her, we start with the foundations of a pose and then start slowly working towards it.
Studio itself is always clean and they do have good temperature controls if our class warms up too much. Yoga essentials are available to all students without rental fees. And all the fellow classmates I’ve encountered have been nice and without judgment. Everyone is just there to practice together!

What a beautiful, clean studio to practice in! Mark has a really friendly community and a super dynamic flow in his Hatha class. I went with my friend. It is SO nice to finally find a studio where I have enough room to reverse swan dive! His savasana adjustments are great too. Can’t wait for my next class! O did I mention there’s plenty of parking?

Julie’s class will kick your butt. You’ll marvel at her acrobatic, cirque du soleil abilities. Newton too, is a wonderful teacher, with his energetic yet zen style. Tasha’s and Kerri’s classes are fun and upbeat. Ellen will take none of your excuses in pilates. Tips for her class: be ready to work, and don’t try to hide in the back, for she’ll still see you. All around, this is a wonderful studio with memorable teachers.
