Yoga One

I tried it out using Groupon which was a great value and I’m glad i did! It’s a cozy studio with skylight giving you the feel of the outside weather. The staffs are very friendly. All the instructors i’ve had always get to know everybody in class and find out if anybody has any special needs. I feel welcome everytime i’m there and would definitely recommend Yoga One to anybody who’s looking for a place for yoga.

Absolutely fantastic yoga studio! I’ve never felt so welcome in a yoga class before. The staff and instructor are amazingly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

I was so thrilled with my Yoga One experience late last year that I jumped at the recent offer they extended for one year of unlimited classes for $ 595 (or $ 650 if you chose the two payment installment plan). I’m very much looking forward to continuing my yoga practice with them and I’m anxious to try new classes/​instructors that I didn’t get to the last time around.

Intimate and wonderful Yoga studio! I have tried various different classes with different instructors, and they have been great. My favorite class is the Sunday morning session with the incredible Arati! She has great energy and extensive knowledge about Yoga. Namaste!

This is the best yoga studio I have ever been to. I have been practicing yoga for over 30 years. I love the instructors, the owners are lovely. You will love tthe skylight, the openness of the studio and of course you will get a great yoga session. I miss going to my yoga classes when I worked downtown!

For several months now my wife and I have been enjoying the Saturday morning yoga classes held at a variety of downtown parks, sponsored by Scripps and the Downtown San Diego Partnership. Yoga One provides the instructors, who have been absolutely fantastic. Special recognition and thanks to Lori Miller, who has been an absolute joy to train with! We look forward to continuing our practice with her both in the Saturday open air classes and at the Yoga One studio… she has one us over.

Yoga One… I was shocked to see the review by Dan W. criticizing a yoga instructor for being out of shape… a Yoga instructor who recently had a baby… and is one of the most talented and gifted yoga instructors I have experienced… and who even after recently having a baby could run circles around most people. I’m biting my tongue at stating what I’d really like to state in this message… but, will instead say — thank goodness you left the studio Dan W. so the rest of us didn’t have to be exposed to your negative energy.
I love you Yoga One… every single one of you! Thank you for your open arms and wonderful acceptance of us all. Even moms.

When the yoga instructor has a beer belly and out of shape more than the students RUN for the hills! This review is probably unfair for this business and newbies may like it but how can you respect a class or take one seriously when the teacher could hardly be a master of any Yoga when her physical shape is worse than most students… #TruthHurts… Sorry Yoga1, 1^st impressions are huge in my book. Took off before class begun #fulldisclosure
Ps: I did however like the yoga space itself, too bad :(

I was practicing yoga almost every day, for one months there. So I had a chance to take classes with each teacher. And there are all professionals and do their job with love.
I love atmosphere, especially in the evenings, when they burn candles, use aromatherapy and play life guitar sometimes.
And rooftop classes is a big plus for this school.
I definitely improved my level, so i’ll keep practicing yoga in there.

The people at this studio were really friendly and inviting. I’m from out of town and just dropped in. I felt very welcomed here.

I’ve dropped in on the rooftop class and I really love it. Lorena was the instructor and her voice is perfect to listen to while being guided through poses and positions. She is a great instructor and leads the class very well. I’ve been to a few other classes but I always leave this class feeling refreshed and renewed. Although I have not been to the actual studio yet I would definitely try it based on the rooftop class. Yoga outdoors in San Diego is awesome! Thank you!

I went to this studio for 8 – 9 months while I was in San Diego. All the teachers are very nice and I love the rooftop and candle light classes. Each teacher had her own style and they keep it interesting by changing the routine. The only criticism I have is that sometimes classes run over so there is no gap between the classes (officially it was supposed to be 15 mins) so there is no time to air out the studio. So if you ended up in a class where the class before you ran over then the studio is still moist with sweat and stuffy from the previous yogis — that was kind of irritating. I would recommend the teachers stick to the class timings esp if there is a class 15 mins after their class.
Otherwise a great place for all levels.

Just moved to San Diego and took the bar exam last week so I’ve been needing some stress relief. I was doing regular acupuncture in Philly and wanted to find a good spot in SD.
I had an appointment with Christina today and really love this place. Community acupuncture is only $ 20 on Wednesdays from 3 – 5 which is a great deal.
Christina is really sweet and made me feel very comfortable. I feel so chilled out and really relaxed for the first time in weeks.
I will be coming back for acupuncture as well as some yoga classes.
Also heads up: it looks like they take tips for the acupuncture therapists. I didn’t know this and didn’t have cash on me, but definitely will next time.

When I went looking for a teacher training program I looked for programs outside of San Diego, neglecting the fact that there are brilliant studios right in my backyard. Enter yoga one. Amy and Michael are incredible instructors and friends. I worked under both of them and Diana Beardsley who has trained with some of the greatest yogis around including my favorite yogi of all time, Ganja White. I knew after reviewing Diana’s past training that this was the perfect studio for me to become involved with, best idea of my life. Almost five years after receiving my teacher training certification through Yoga One I am still further deepening my practice and always love introducing my friends to the awesome studio. I believe all yoga studios are great, I really do. However, Yoga One is a place to truly guarantee a great 90 minute class. Not just one hour, to me that isn’t enough. Whether you’re new to yoga or not I definitely recommend taking classes with all of the fantastic instructors. Prices are perfect and there is parking right around the corner. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

A friend of mine found this place online, and discovered that on Thursday mornings they have a «donation based» class, meaning you go and pay what you can (I usually drop $ 10 in the donation basket). We’ve gone for a few weeks now, and I love it. They provide mats, blocks, etc, if you don’t have your own, and the classes have all been pretty small so far– ranging from 3 people to about 8. It’s a great class for beginners and the instructor is always giving alternate poses for those that are a little more advanced, while telling us beginners that it’s perfectly acceptable to stay in some easier pose if we aren’t comfortable/​flexible/​ready enough to try the harder one. I’m completely blanking on the instructors name, but she’s incredibly friendly and always welcomes us back each week. They offer other classes throughout the week and I think you can buy packages and things like that online if you wanted to try some of them out, which I would definitely take advantage of if I had a more normal work schedule. The Thursday morning class usually works out great, though, and I look forward to it every week!

I went to Missy’s class and she is an amazing instructor. She reaches out to each student to make sure we have proper form. She is friendly and knowledgeable in her practice :) I loved the class and I look forward to more classes with Missy and other instructors at Yoga One!

I found the classes to be lacking something — the studio is very large a chilly, and the lights are left on and are super bright. I go to yoga for an experience — and I just didn’t feel they had the ambiance I was looking for in a studio. The teachers were all nice, but never did adjustments or offered guidance. It wasn’t a particularly bad experience, just not a studio that I keep wanting to go back to.

Yoga One is a popular studio and clearly has its devoted following, but it wasn’t for me. I took a few classes here but just never found my ‘place’. The environment felt a bit scattered all the time. The teachers are VERY nice and friendly though and it does have a «community» feel from the students that have been there awhile. It’s a great place for beginners, but I never felt challenged enough in any of the classes. I took classes from at least 4 – 5 different teachers. I wasn’t looking for an int-​adv class only, but I do like it when teachers offer more challenging options as I understand there is usually a very diverse skill level among students in each class.
Parking is also a major pain because it’s in the heart of downtown. I usually had to get to the area at least 20 mins early and spend 10 mins circling to find a spot. No free parking around here, so bring lots of coins for metered parking.

Riza is one of my favorite instructors! She is very mindful and precise. She always gives options if you want to go to deeper into a pose or if you want less. She is very verbal and says exactly where to place you hands and feet. Reminds you not to move your hands or feet in when doing down dog. (which i did all the time)
Yoga One has great instructors! Im relatively new to yoga but was able to do Bird of Paradise after only 3 months after my very first yoga class! Thanks Riza!

This place is my health-​care. All the instructors are top-​notch, with Michael being the best in my opinion. He is a master-​instructor, so down to earth and so respectful, classy and nice.
It’s a great studio with zero ego… and just about everyone who attends here are very respectful and nice.
I only wish I could go 4 – 5 times a week, that’s my goal. Yoga one is an awesome place to start your journey if you want to get into Yoga and stay healthy and happy.
