I started as a super newbie here and began with ONLY the restore classes which I absolutely love. Breezy and Louise are were my OG's.

Fast forward and I just completed my 300th class and like I first stated...this Dana Point Y6 staff and community are amazing. Every class style gives you a little something different and then each teacher brings their own personality and experience. From meditation and breathing techniques to pushing myself in power or sculpt to the themed classes and candlelight classes to yoga bingo...every hour has been rewarding. If you are looking for a great studio with amazing staff and teachers...this is the place. You will feel it in mind and body. Something for all levels (truly all levels). I feel spoiled I got so lucky having this place right here in my neighborhood. Bringing Ashlie in has been a great bonus to the studio and our Dana Point community. Between Darbi and Ashlie they are always checking in to see how classes have been; asking about my interest in workshops; and simply being a great support system along my yoga journey. Shoutout to Louise, Luis, Michelle and Breezy for their guidance and instruction. Love flowing with you all and can't wait to share each milestone with you!!!!

What sets this shala apart is Diana (owner) and its deep respect for the integrity of the Ashtanga lineage while still making the practice accessible and welcoming. The teaching is precise, intentional, and rooted in a real understanding of breath, bandha, and drishti--not just going through the motions, but guiding students toward a more meditative and transformative experience. The Mysore-style environment is especially exceptional. There's a quiet energy in the room, focused, supportive, and deeply personal. Each student is met exactly where they are, with thoughtful adjustments and guidance that feel both safe and elevating. You can tell the teachers are not just instructors, but dedicated practitioners who embody what they teach. Beyond the physical practice, there's a strong sense of sangha. Whether you're new to Ashtanga or have been practicing for years, you feel welcomed into something meaningful, a space that encourages consistency, humility, and growth. If you're looking for a place to deepen your practice, build discipline, and connect to something more than just a workout, this shala is truly special.

After researching all of the studios in Orange & San Diego County, I chose I Heart Yoga for my 200HR RYT Training. The training was fun, challenging, transformative, and prepared me well to begin my own teaching practice. We had fun excursions including Kundalini yoga, Ayurveda, anatomy, etc. Elsa (the owner) and Bree (a co-founder and teacher) led me and 9 other girls through our intimate training program. Elsa is a strong, disciplined, and precise leader. Not only is she the one to start the fire on the dance floor, she's an inspirational and thoughtful entrepreneur that makes business look like a walk (or yoga) in the park. Bree is a patient, peaceful, and gentle soul. She is flexible in accommodating others, the first to pick up on the emotions of others, and helps others see a better version of themselves. All of the teachers at iHeartYoga are experienced and will be sure to help you leave class feeling your best. If you're considering a yoga teacher training or just stopping in for a yoga class, you will not be disappointed. Hands down the best community and studio I've been to in California. Keep it up iHeartYoga! read more

Hot yoga is on a whole different level. I had never taken a…read moreyoga class before, and hot yoga definitely challenged me. Since I wasn't familiar with the pose names, the first few classes felt very fast paced and a little overwhelming. The instructors were kind, welcoming, and supportive, though they did not often provide poses example or individual posture corrections. Most of the time, I learned by watching the people around me and following along. I realized that the regular classes follow the same practice each time. They also offer Yin and Sculpt classes, but there are only a few of those on the weekly schedule. After attending four or five classes, I became more familiar with the poses and flow by memorization. I do wish there were more class options with different levels of difficulty and a wider variety of poses. As a beginner, it felt a bit left out being in classes filled with experienced students. I'm not sure whether this is a pro or a con, but they are very strict about staying for the full 60 minute class. One time I saw a few people leave early, so I did the same, and the instructor reminded me that anyone planning to leave before class ends should let the teacher know in advance. Personally, I felt a little uncomfortable with this policy, especially in that situation when I have to leave to use the restroom. Students are generally expected to remain in the room for the entire session. If you need a break, you can rest on your mat, but leaving the room is not allowed. However, I agree that it courages our commitment to the practice and to maintaining a focused class environment. The heat is intense. I've seen some people sweat so much that there were actual puddles around their mats. I normally don't sweat very much, so hot yoga was a completely different experience for me. By the end of class, I felt like I had worked harder than in most other workouts and left feeling refreshed and energized. The studio itself is exceptionally clean, welcoming, and professionally run. Everyone was friendly, and I appreciated that there was no pressure to purchase a membership. All the staffs genuinely seemed to care about creating a positive experience. They remember my name and ask me on my feelings, which are very touching. Overall, I really enjoyed it and have a lot of respect for how professionally everything is managed. I only wish they had addition locations in Irvine or Lake Forest. They are doing awesome, and quality hot yoga studios are not always easy to find. I love this experience overall!!! Highly recommended.

I used to love coming here. I was a very loyal yogi for about a year up until one class I was being…read morestared and gawked at the entire session by a man. He would be staring at my body any and every chance he could get. It made for a very stressful, uncomfortable session when the whole point of going to these classes is to destress and unwind. He knew he was making me uncomfortable too. Apparently he is a regular because when I told the instructor immediately, she knew who I was talking about and the way they chose to handle this was terrible. Not only did they take a month to respond back as to how they will resolve it. They chose to ignore it completely. I was so surprised at how little they chose to care because I felt like they cared about women's experiences; being a woman owned business and a predominantly female staff. And they knew who I was too because I was coming in so frequently. I knew all their names and they knew mine and we would give each other hugs whenever it was a while I'd seen one of them. So it felt so betraying because they literally told me that they aren't going to do anything about it. I asked for a refund for the remaining classes left on the package I had purchased and they refunded the whole thing which was the only right thing they did. But I seriously used to love that place and all the people there. Now they've just left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm glad I left and chose a different studio (Urban) in Laguna hills. At Urban, they heard my experience with sweatstar and even agreed that sweatstar reacted poorly and that I would never face the same kind of management at Urban. Happier now that I've left. As betrayed as I felt by the staff at sweatstar, I still wish them well but I hope any other young women who has been made uncomfortable by a man during sweatstar's class knows that there are better options out there.
