This yoga studio is truly a gem in Big Bear. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, welcoming, and grounded -- exactly what you want when you're here to reset both your body and mind. The instructors are knowledgeable, attentive, and great at meeting you wherever you are in your practice, whether you're brand new or have been doing yoga for years. The classes strike the perfect balance between strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, and the mountain setting adds an extra layer of peace you don't get anywhere else. I always leave feeling more centered, energized, and grateful I showed up. If you're a local or just visiting Big Bear, this studio is absolutely worth making time for. It's become a highlight of my routine up here. read more

Mountain Yoga Center has become the gold standard and center of my weekly routine. This studio is truly special and offers varying levels of classes. The instructors are each wonderful and unique, bringing a variety of yogi backgrounds making each class a bit different for us students and ultimately an exciting and fun challenge. I personally love mixing up my week alternating Vinyasa 1-2 with Gentle Flow or Restorative. Candlelight Flow is another favorite! Pilates and Beginner Yoga are also offered each week, and amazing Soundbath classes. Another brilliant 'plus' about MYC is the option to take classes virtually (Zoom). Almost every class in-studio is also offered online! Super convenient on work & travel days. Whether you reside in Big Bear or are just visiting town, I think you will love your visit to this charming studio! read more

I always tell Dana that her classes are delicious. I can't think of a better word as she has a gift and you feel so amazing after she quiets your mind and restores your body with her practice. Very modern and clean studio. read more

Had the best vinyasa class today with Taylor! Weather has been strangely cold this week and she focused on winter energy with a beautiful class. She included a lot of grounding, slow transitions and deep stretches. It was a great workout that left me feeling like I got exactly what I needed on a cold, wintry day. Thank you, Taylor, for a perfect class! read more

I love this little yoga studio in big bear. The classes are great and the price is super reasonable- meaning that is visitors can afford to get a class without a membership! Love coming up here and bringing friends! read more

This place is amazing! We have a cabin in Big Bear and try to come when we are up here! Stephanie teaches most of the classes I take and she is the BEST! The perfect combination of zen with a great workout! You can buy a 10 session pass which makes it a great deal! Or even do the drop in rate! read more

I've been to Mountain yoga twice now and I have to say I'm really grateful to have a studio like this in Big Bear. What I really appreciate about Dana and the other teachers is their intuitive approach to teaching yoga. It seemed like every time they mentioned something about the pose I could apply it and do better. read more

This yoga studio is wonderful and Dana is the ideal yoga teacher - knowledgeable, kind, and challenging (appropriate to level). I was so happy to find this studio while on vacation and would highly recommend Dana's Vinyasa classes! read more

While in town and my kids are mountain biking. It was the perfect way to relax N stretch. The class was so calm and easy for one who has not been on a mat in years. I have been back a few times and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Partner and I wanted to keep our yoga routine when we visited Big Bear. It was a small and still nice studio. Liked the vibe.

Very happy to have discovered Mountain Yoga! I attended two classes this weekend and was happy with the instructors, amenities, location and practice. Both Dana and Stephanie were very welcoming and helpful, loved getting the help with positions. I brought a friend whom I know felt the same. We look forward to returning and taking many more classes. read more

This place is awesome! Visiting from out of town and was looking for a morning yoga class but could only make 11am for Dana's 'beginner yoga'. I was concerned it was going to be too slow and introductory but it turned out to be the BEST yoga class I've had in years. Dana is the kind of instructor that could guide you with your eyes closed and that's not easy to find! Not to mention she gives great direction on proper positioning and technique. The class was a perfect mix of stretching, breathing, and mild flow. As an athlete that uses yoga primarily for cross training/stretching, finding peace amongst a fast-paced lifestyle, and staying limber and strong, this was the perfect class. Will definitely be back - thanks Dana! read more

Was visiting with my family for a few days and found this little Gem and also got to meet the very sweet and lovely Dana. It was my very first experience but my daughters is more a regular yoga attendee. I really enjoyed the easiness of a beginners class and my daughter (who joined me) was very pleased with the peaceful environment and exercises. If I lived here I would be here daily!! Without a doubt I would highly recommend this yoga center to any novice or regular yoga adventurer. read more

I absolutely love the classes there. I feel so inspired when i leave there. I highly recommend going when in Big Bear Visiting or especially on a regular basis as a local. read more

Wonderful yoga studio! Dropped in while visiting over Thanksgiving, the studio is beautiful and the class was wonderful! Highly recommend!

I've enjoyed every class I've attended here, as well as all of the instructors. Very happy to have this studio in Big Bear!

After living in Venice for 15 years and experiencing the Jerusalem of Yoga (Santa Monica) for all of those years, I was prepared for much less when checking in on the Big Bear yoga scene. I had been a fortunate cat to attend classes from great Santa Monica teachers who all emphasize breath, movement, and strength -- Bryan Kest, Ashley Turner, Vytas. Mountain Yoga's teachers Dana Andrews and Stefanie Ruland are of that ilk and class. So if you're used to the best, Mountain Yoga will meet your (no) expectations. read more

Mountain Yoga is the newest studio in Big Bear Lake. Spacious, extremely clean, great vibe + decor.. Not to mention the most wonderful, knowledgeable & encouraging instructor + owner Dana! Highly recommended for all ages & all levels!! She even offers kids classes too! I wouldn't go anywhere else!! read more

I enjoyed the Sunday Vinyasa Yoga class with Dana. There is a great vibe here. The room is comfortable, light and clean, and just the right size so that you can really stretch out your poses without having to be mindful not to kick your neighbor. They have mats to loan if you forgot yours. This is a great place to continue your practice while vacationing here. Dana is expert with demonstrations and clear directions to adjust alignment and options to progress to more advanced poses and movements. Childs pose always an option. She allows sufficient time for Shavasana. I will be back. read more

Just amazing! We did a private session at our house on the lake and everyone in my family's talking about the next time we can have her come back! Such a wonderful experience, LOVED it! She takes into account everyone's experience level and what you want from the session and completely personalizes it! I also can't wait until next time! read more

The husb and I went to Big Bear for a weekend getaway and wanted to take a yoga class together. What a lovely studio! Dana is a great teacher, very peaceful, non-competitive environment. We left feeling peaceful and blissed out. Great space for yoga! read more

Amazing classes! My favorite is the Vinyasa class with Dana! Definitely the best yoga center in Big Bear!

This yoga studio is great! I've been practicing yoga since December and it has changed my life. My hip pain has vanished. The instructors are very into it and easy to follow. The studio is clean and has plenty of room. This is the best thing on the mountain. I love it! read more

Likes this place. Owned by a business woman and her husband from Newport Beach. Prices will probably rise.

I can not say enough about how much I enjoy going to this studio. Dana teaches in an uncomplicated, easy to follow way, with modifications if you need them at any point. I always leave feeling energized and centered. Plus, I know my posture has improved and the body awareness I have gained allows me to constantly be aware of how I move and stand. I've seen locals and regulars in the classes, as well as PCT hikers and visitors so its a nice mix of people who are all doing their own practice - its a good energy. There's mats and blocks and blankets if you need them and the studio is serene with simple decoration designed to help you focus. Its the best way to start my day! read more

Fantastic yoga studio, make sure to get to the candlelight flow class with Colin. Quiet, clean and friendly staff.

I took Dana's 1/2 vinyasa flow class and Stefanie's gentle yoga class while visiting Big Bear for the Christmas holidays. The vibe in the studio was candlelit and welcoming, with plenty of natural light. The Gentle Yoga class was a perfect way to start the day and warm up after our heavy meals the night before. Plenty of modifications were given and we walked out with warm blissful muscles after a well rounded hour of hip and chest openers and plenty of yummy yin/restorative postures. The next day, the vinyasa yoga class with Dana was one of the best yoga classes I have taken in recent memory! A nearly perfect pairing of strong flow sequences to build heat and some sweat, as well as deep detoxifying twists and poses that challenged the abs and booty. A beginner would do fine here as she offered modifications. Well balanced and energizing is a good descriptor for our visit. I'm so glad I dropped in before the long traffic-filled drive home to Northern California. Very glad I found this place! read more

I took a chance and fully submerged myself into yoga. Luckily, I came across mountain yoga. So when I first walked into a class I decided to just buy a class. I took a beginner class with Alicia. By the end of the class I decided to change it to a buy 5 get 1 class free for $50. She changed it with no problem. The next day I went to Colin's candlelight flow class and by the time I finished that class I changed my 5 classes get 1 free to an unlimited month for $75. Might I add that they just let me pay the difference it was to change to each different package I did! I finally had a chance to have a class with Dana whom is the owner of this amazing yoga studio and that's when I totally fell in love with the whole place. Each individual teacher has a different flow that can be inviting to any individual. They help you with every move and gives you pointers at the end of class! I am new to yoga so I like to make sure I am doing the right thing. Oh! And they have workshops that I had the privilege to go to that cost me $25 for 3 hours of detailed information about different positions and background information as well. If you are visiting big bear come to Mountain yoga! If you live in big bear come to Mountain yoga! read more

This review is for the restorative yoga class only. My husband and I, who practice yoga several times a week, were in the area for a getaway and loved the sound of a gentle yoga class so the restorative yoga sounded great. Unfortunately this class should be labeled as a meditation class, not an actual yoga class. There was no stretching and no actual poses except for a bit of cat/cow. As a meditation class it isn't bad, but make sure you arrive with the proper expectations. As we were expecting to engage in some actual yoga the class was an expensive disappointment to us. read more
