Yoga and Meditation Center

If you are looking for a deeper meaning of yoga this is the right place for you. Shashi is a true yogi growing up in the most spiritual part of India. You will never have 2 same clasess and every time will leave the studio with a much better state of mind and body. Amazing energy and people.

I love going to Shashi’s Yoga class. He teaches Yoga in a very simple form and it has shown great benefits to my mind and body. he explains the benefits of each pose, which makes it so much more interesting. i look forward to attending his class always. I totally loved his wall yoga.

I am so grateful to the friends who highly recommended this place to me. I just started in March and immediately signed up for the teacher training program, and now there’s no looking back. I’m already seeing a lot of positive changes in both my mind and body and I know it could only get better. I look forward to every class, and never could get enough of Shashi’s teachings. He is an inspiration, a great teacher and healer to many. I will try my best to share my new found outlook on life and living first to my immediate family and friends and someday soon share it with others.

I have been Shashi’s student for the last 5 years. I could write a book about his knowledge, his passion, his honnesty, his devotion and about how much he helped me and contribute to my life. If you want to know what yoga is really about (not just pretzeling yourself to impress people in your new lululemon outfit) this is the place to go. I completed my 200 hours RYT with him, going for my 500. I will be eternally thankful for being part of yoga and meditation center and Shashi’s student.

Shashi Pottathil — Yoga and Meditation Center — After being in an intensive training and having practiced yoga twice a day for two weeks straight I thought I’d just pop into Shashi’s intermediate class and knock that one back. Not so. Shashi is the best. He has been teaching and practicing for thirty years, comes from a yoga family out of Kerala, India. He knows more about yoga in his pinkie than most people will know in a lifetime. He teaches a classical Hatha style and will surprise even the most studied yogis with some of the moves he uses. His «spider movement» is one of my favorites. He incorporates some rigorous pranayama into some asanas and it seems to do double benefit. He is a master. Period. None of his classes are the same, though there are distinct similarities. What is of particular interest is how he gets me to laugh. He is so sharp and so wonderfully explanatory of Yoga theory in his class. He can speak for twenty minutes of the hour, and often does, and will still lovingly wring a tremendous effort out of his students. Being in his class I feel like I have found the roots of the tree of yoga. Highly recommend driving an hour or more if you have to, to experience the most unique yoga class you will ever attend. Call first, no drop ins.

What a great place to learn about yoga and yourself! The instructor, Shashi, is incredibly knowledgeable and he shares this knowledge with the students so we can improve our health and practice. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to participating in some workshops and meditation sessions.

I have been practicing yoga on and off for over 20 years and have tried a number of studios in San Diego, but never really attended a class that made an impact both physically and spiritually.
Shashi is not just a yogi, but a «life coach». His classes are a combination of physical strength and mental guidance that helps you focus on what is important in life to ensure that you will age with grace and physical strength no matter your age.

Not only do I recommend this place, I would advise against doing Yoga anywhere else. Whether you’re a beginner or a yogi, they’ve got the skills and accreditation to truly improve and fulfill your yoga needs. I live somewhat far away and yet still make the drive because I feel safe with their teacher and their classical style of teaching and haven’t been able to find that kind of comfort anywhere else. I really want to try their teacher’s training course because of the wonderful things I’ve heard about it.
They have various levels of classes and separate classes for kids, teens, and seniors,
