Definitely one of the most carefully crafted yoga studios I have ever been to. You sort of feel like you've been transported to somewhere in Southeast Asia. I love that there are heat lamps, blankets, and other accessories for use during the class. Although, the space is epic I didn't really find enjoyment in the class. It was supposed to be a relaxing low impact yoga class focusing on slow movements but I didn't really feel that at all. The instructor was nice but I found her transitions were confusing and sometimes didn't make sense. She wasn't really saying the name of the poses either. To me the instructions felt like I was taking a Pilates class. We were also holding the poses in my opinion way too long to the point I was actually feeling pain. And some poses were really advanced and didn't make me feel relaxed at all. I personally do not like it when there are lyrics in the music when I do yoga. Although it was more mellow indie songs I found it extremely hard to focus and it was kind of loud too. I would prefer just non lyrical relaxing music. At least for the part where we just sit/lay down towards the end. In summary, I don't think I would come back. I am used to donation based yoga around San Diego. If you want more traditional yoga I would just stick to the free classes around town.

The studio is clean and light, and they have a lot of nice equipment to use as far as blocks, bolsters, and blankets. I've been to a variety of types of classes here, but most recently I did a deep healing class taught by Tiffinie. It was pure magic and my body needed that. 75 minutes of slow postures that are held for a little bit longer, mobility exercises, and breathing. I will definitely return and I'd like to make it more of a habit to visit the studio. Plus, there's a great smoothie shop next-door and tasty coffee available at the brewery just down the street!

Most people seem to know each other in these classes. And the instructors make it a point to learn…read moreeveryone's names -- it makes it easier for them to call you out on an incorrect pose, which they do often because Iyengar yoga focuses more on getting the pose right compared to other types of yoga I've done. This was weird at first, but it's actually great because my alignment and posture for some basic poses improved after only a few classes. Each instructor was knowledgeable and can recommend all kinds of props if you have trouble getting into a certain pose -- especially helpful for those with injuries or other physical limitations. Speaking of props -- a significant chunk of time is spent getting props and putting away props -- think a minute or two between EACH pose. And then there's a chant at the beginning of every class, and of course some spiritual musing that usually comes with yoga -- not that I have any problems with this usually, but at the end of a 90 minute class, you'll likely have spent less than 30 minutes of it in yoga poses. And with their limited class availability (one or two classes per day, six days a week), it's hard to fit into my schedule. As you can probably tell, Iyengar yoga is not my favorite. However, I can't deny that it is a great type of yoga to incorporate into your practice, but it's hard to justify it as my workout for the day. Still, I'd recommend that you give it a try if you haven't done it before.

I was introduced to the classes at Full Circle by a friend who has taken classes there for years…read more Although, I have only taken one class so far I must admit I did enjoy the poses with the assistance of props, blocks, straps and rope pulleys to facilitate ease of posing for extended periods. I am not in great shape and I'm rather stiff so I was concerned as to whether I was going to be able to hang threw to the end of the class - let alone enjoy getting these old bones in and out of poses I had not tried in decades. I took the Friday night, Restorative Practice class (6:00 - 7:30 PM) with instructor and owner, Aman, and his two friendly canines, Charlie and Fred, were there for additional backup ;) That being said if you don't enjoy being around dogs - this isn't the place for you since Charlie and Fred come with the territory at Full Circle. The class instruction was very good. I enjoyed Aman's pleasant demeanor and the slow pace of the class. Aman kept careful watch on me, as I was the only new student, while maintaining his awareness of all of the other class participants. It was challenging for me not only because I was so stiff but because I am overweight - so Aman made sure to instruct me using suitable props to accommodate my particular needs. I think Charlie and Fred must have been working on the book keeping because I never got any feedback from them ;) You're supposed to quiet your mind, relax and breath while allowing your body to experience each pose, however, it was very tough not to laugh out loud (at myself!) as I caught glimpses of me in the mirror looking like a Stinkbug. You see, during the * "Child's pose" (bah-LAHS-anna) (bala = child) my pouched belly (very similar in size and shape to a "Star-bellied Sneetch") was preventing me from getting my bum downward into the correct position. All in all I did well and left feeling both relaxed and energized. And though the class was relaxing my body felt as though I had gone to the gym and had an extensive circuit training and the next day I felt a bit of tenderness (in a good way!) Full Circle Yoga Institute has several instructors you can read their bios on their website. I recommend you get there at least 15 min early if it's your first time so you can register and put your personal things away...Yoga mats and all necessary props provided at the studio. Don't eat for at least 2 hrs prior to class (unless your last meal was so tasty you just want to experience it one more time!) and limit your intake of fluid right before class as well. Wear relaxed clothing - you don't need anything fancy. Yoga mats and all necessary props provided at the studio. Currently, a Single Class costs $15 - it's a bit pricey, but you can purchase a group of classes and get the classes discounted. Parking is in front of the studio on El Cajon Blvd or on 39th Street Drop-ins are welcome. I will definitely go again and I'll take my husband next time - it would be fun to see him in the "stinkbug" pose ;) ;)

I've been wanting to try aerial yoga for a while, but the only studio I knew of was in La Jolla. This location was much more convenient for me. It's located in Point Loma bordering OB.

From what I understand, they have their aerial yoga and a few other classes on the outdoor deck. Both times the class I took was in their indoor studio... Not a huge fan of that room. It's kind of stuffy. The first time I was there it was a busy class. The floor was quite dirty, a lot of dust balls and hair that was not mine were kind of floating by me. There's a door at the back of the studio and several people left a few minutes early, which I found very disruptive. It's not like the class went over in time. I thought it was honestly rude of those people to get up and walk through the class early and make all that ruckus with the door while other people are trying to settle into the final resting pose. They know how long it's supposed to be. The second time I visited, I've booked a class that online said it was going to be outside on the deck. When I got there, the class was inside. At least this time the studio was very clean! I was bummed though to not be practicing on the deck in the fresh air.
