Peace Love and Yoga - One of the many amazing teachers at Peace Love Yoga in Carlsbad. I come to class everyday because of the selection of classes! - Yoga Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Great location. Good parking. The teachers are great and the sequences are fun and challenging. Now, if you don't mind the sweaty mess, the filthy floors, dingy showers and messy front area, this is the studio for you. One day, someone is going to slip on the wet floor and sue them for all they got. If they hired a professional cleaning service this would be a fantastic studio. read more

I really enjoyed the classes. It's not blistering hot and they use radiant heat so it's a different kind of heat. There is no comparing in the class and no "I'm a good yogi and you're a beginner". I wish there were more classes available but I understand they have another location. I go back when I can make it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the hottest yoga classes I've ever taken[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tamara was great and her flow and practice was challenging for every skill level in class. I will be back when I'm in town! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a warm and welcoming place! From my first visit I was made to feel at home, even though I had never done yoga before[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. That's why I am still with PLAY, five years on. They offer hot flow classes, aerial yoga, flow and restore, and yoga that incorporates cardio and weights. They are especially attentive to individual differences and suggest modifications to all their moves. I highly recommend Peace Love and Yoga in Carlsbad! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've practiced at PLAY for more than 10 years and it's a fantastic studio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the teachers are experienced and create amazing vinyasa flows. Their 200 hr teacher training was a wonderful way to learn more about yoga and learn to deepen my practice. I absolutely recommend it read more

Peace Love and Yoga is my favorite yoga studio! I'm so glad I found them. The schedule is great--early morning and late evening classes-- and all the teachers are friendly, supportive, and helpful. I am an early-morning hot yoga junkie, but I've also been taking the yin and aerial classes. Now I keep coming back for more of those too! I'm so grateful for this spot :-) read more

Jesse's 75 min Classes are the best. He gets a 5! However, all the Yoga teachers and staff save the front spots for themselves so students get second pickings on where they're going to practice in the room. Very unprofessional. read more

A great studio with a wide variety of classes and teachers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very friendly and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good specials and packages. And....The hot class are hot (in a good way)!! read more

I have been practicing yoga consistently for 20 + years in many states and countries around the world. This is by far my favorite studio and place to practice. Every class and every instructor I've ever taken have been amazing--I simply always leave this place feeling more grounded and whole then when I entered. I take Jesse's class every Sunday and it is truly my church, he is a phenomenal, special human being/instructor and I am so grateful to take classes at this studio. It is clean and always the perfect temp for a great workout. Thank you!! read more

Each person comes to yoga for something different. But when we are in the room, we're all together, one community. It is this energy and this community that keeps me coming back. PLAY is a very special community that provides a non-commercial yoga experience, with classes for every level and every need. I love the YIN equally as much as the hot Vinyasa and Flow as each has its unique benefits and have helped me to grow and evolve my practice. The staff is super warm and welcoming and the fellow yogi's are always friendly and happy to share space. The yogi's, each have their own individual style and are all amazing conduits that nurture the energy and build on the shared community of the souls in the room. Namaste to the staff and those who come to PLAY. read more

I was visiting from out of town and do hot yoga regularly. This studio was close to where I was staying so I registered for a class. The girl at the counter seemed either tired or not thrilled to be there. The class was heated but not hot in my opinion. The instructor kept the music super low and didn't have a mic so the room just felt blah in my opinion- I was missing energy- it didn't have to come from loud music but the instructor didn't provide it either- it was like everyone was still asleep and forced to here. The flow for class was ok but I was expecting a building routine adding a pose each time through as the description of the class stated and that was not the case. We did warrior 2 once per side and then a ton of weird lizard variations on our mats. Just overall not my jam. read more

Great big shout out for my yoga teacher on Friday mornings, Beatrice. She is so welcoming and helpful. Her instructions and her sound mix are so well planned. I really appreciate her. Kudos to all the teachers that I have met here at Peace, Love and Yoga. It is a very special place to enjoy the art of yoga. read more

I was very pleased with my one month unlimited yoga experience. I checked out a couple studios for my one month stay in Carlsbad while visiting family. Gina was very helpful getting me set up and feeling comfortable at the studio. I am not new to yoga but hot yoga took a little time to get used to. I enjoy PLAY with Michele and think she guides us through a fun practice! I highly recommend this studio and found it to be warm and welcoming! read more

This studio is my home away from home. It took coming back for a few weeks to really settle in and feel at home, which I think is normal when joining any type of community. I love this studio, the instructors, and the community that I'm building here. I had never done yoga before coming here and I've learned so much about posture, alignment, and common mistakes made during different poses. I highly recommend if you are looking for a community that quite literally embodies peace love and yoga. read more

While visiting from Canada I wanted to keep up my regular practice. I'm so pleased to have found PLAY . The heat was perfect and teachers are amazing. When I come back to Carlsbad I will certainly practice at this studio! read more

This is just Revs, OP! WOW....I have taken regular yoga many years back and until recently, our "Supreme Trainer," at CameronFitness recommended and also, gives updates, on how amazing she feels afterwards, and of course, we just look, at her, like Sure, we take your word for it! Well, her word is BOND! SOLID, as she is, like a rock! Now did I mention, this is "hot yoga," at a 100+ degrees of concentrated heat, all while, the non other, Mr. Joseph K. himself, put you through a flow, that will take your mind off the heat, but only for a moment when he opens the door. An Incredible guide whom not only has a strong practice, but make a beginner like myself, feel like a veteran yogi‍ After a long week of (fill in the blank) work, training or things just not going well, try Saturdays, at 16:30/ 4:30 pm best to sign up early or get there early, fills quickly and also cheaper, for drop in rate than online!(they have packages) I have only taken Joseph and last time, I met ANOTHER strong with energy and presence( also tall/ CrossFit ) guide by the name of Jen! instead of 5s we replace them with a 5 Diamond rating! Lastly, and maybe it's just me, as I'm a beginner, but I have heard it and seen it...yogis are like BMW and TELSA ownersnevertheless, don't expect a "welcoming, glad you here‍ Yogi brain is a "real" thing....sete! read more

This place is a wonderful yoga studio. The instructors are lovely people. The yoga is on point. The studio has an awesome vibe. Refreshing energy inhabits the space. There is a sense of community. However, if you have any modifications to your membership or if you need to cancel, give adequate time to contact them and for your request to be processed. I had an important inquiry about my membership, and management was not that responsive. read more

I haven't written a review about this place because I'll admit it now...I want to keep it a secret. What can I say? Not only have the people here taught me everything I know about yoga, but they've also become my family. Every time I walk in I feel like I'm home. Not only that, I've learned some badass yoga skills since I started. There's no rushing through, they take their time and encourage you to be gentle with yourself. They are there for you when you reach a goal and they push you when you are right on the verge of a break through. I can't say enough good things about this place. There, I said it. Now all I can hope is that when the swarms of people start making their way toward the studio, they don't take my coveted spot Seriously, you guys are all the best. Thank you for everything and see you tomorrow! read more

Dropped in for a hot yoga class and I was pleasantly surprised! This yoga studio is super cute and very welcoming. Oh and did I mention that all newbies get 10 days of unlimited classes for just $10, talk about a steal! I took a hot flow class from Brittni and she was amazing. It was challenging but I left feeling refreshed both mentally and physically even though I was a sweaty mess LOL. Tip: Definitely hydrate prior to taking a hot flow class as the room is very warm & you WILL be sweating. Be sure to bring a towel for your mat (can rent one for $2 if you forget) and bring plenty of water to class. Namaste read more

I wish I counted how many yoga studios in the country I've been to while travel nursing and traveling. This studio is my absolute favorite in the country. The community is so special, the atmosphere is positive, and the teachers are so intentional beyond special place in my heart read more

Need to give a shout out to Peace Love and Yoga I came in in a total mental funk to say the least... The class was a challenging one, well (technically intermediate) but heated! The poses really pushed me to my limit since I have fallen out of my practice. But after class I met some amazing women that happened to be instructors and they recommended some restorative classes I can attend later this week. And were more than happy to provide a shoulder to cry on for a woman that is happy to feel at home at this studio. Thank you ladies for the support, I look forward to more classes! read more

As a Power Lifter and Bodybuilder flexibility is crucial for my performance and overall health. I'm very picky about my yoga and this has become my place. I love the quality and attention to detail, from the educated teachers, Kind and professional staff and passionate owners make this very special place. So blessed I found peace love in yoga! Thanks you guys! read more

$10 for 10 days - I'm in! P.L.A.Y. is such a convenient location for me, that I was really hoping to love this studio. While some elements are nice, there's just enough 'misses' to count me out. Classes are HOT hot & the sweat is pouring all around. That being said, I really expect hot yoga studios to be thoroughly cleaned between sessions. However the dingy smell, stinky blankets, and hairball dusty floors cue otherwise. One of P.L.A.Y.'s two rooms is super small considering the number of people who attend class. It's such a cramped atmosphere - you're either banging into a wall or sweating on your neighbor. Say bye-bye to stretching into full pose expressions. While space leaves a lot to be desired, the clientele is very friendly & down to earth. Everyone is enjoying their practice in a mellow way, so P.L.A.Y. channels nice feelings of peace & openness. My favorite class (by far!) was led by instructor Allie - she builds a great energizing morning sequence for her 6am class. read more

I came here with my friend to try them out and I love it here. The instructors are very nice and helpful. They also take the time to adjust students and to get to know people. The classes are an hour and fifteen minutes long and I feel the classes very thoroughly work and stretch you out. The hot flow classes have been the only classes I have been able to make it to but they have been extremely good. The heat is turned way up and I can properly get my sweat and relaxation on. This class is tailored for all levels of practice which is nice since my friend- who is super new- and I can practice together. There are cubbies in each of the rooms to store your stuff and they have little cubbies by the bathroom as well if you do not want to bring your stuff into the room. The bathrooms are super clean and smell amazing. read more

Really love this place. Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Clean, accommodating and peaceful environment. I really get so much out of every single class. Always impressed and thankful for this business! read more

This place is rad! Nice staff and location (Unlike this one hot yoga place that was on top of carpet!!! Wtf) read more

I bought my daughter a class pack from this studio and we are so disappointed in her experience. The studio is unorganized and for being a "yoga" studio the owners are disconnected in every sense. The only thing this place has going for it is a big studio room. read more

What a wonderful Yoga sanctuary! All of the instructors are fantastic! The classes are everything I need. They even have kids Yoga! So you can take a hot Yoga class while your child takes a class. The kids LOVE it! I bought my whole family gift certificates for Christmas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I have been going to Peace, Love & Yoga for 2.5 years now and I could not recommend a better studio in North San Diego County. If you are into hot yoga I highly suggest you check PLAY out. The facility is clean and the staff is amazing. I plan on going there for many years to come. There art work is rad too. read more

The hot flow classes are amazing. I swear I lose about 15 pounds every time I take one. The sets are just difficult enough to build your strength but not so hard that you feel like you're always going to pass out and fall over. All the instructors are great. Peace love and yoga is the best! read more

This is a great place if you like hot yoga and variety. Instructors are qualified and very nice. Great energy and challenging practice. I have been coming here on and off for over 7 years and I still enjoy it! read more

Sometimes you don't know an AMAZING thing till it's gone. PLAY was my therapy during a very trying time in my life. Every practice with every instructor left you feeling inspired, energized and grounded. Recently moved to Texas and miss my practice every day. I'm so grateful to the light PLAY put in my life for so many years. read more

Of all the sports and activities that I do, I never felt yoga was "my thing". I tried it several times at my gym but I never bought into the whole concept. Maybe it was the class I took or maybe I'm getting older and wiser -- but whatever the reason, I decided to give yoga another try and began seeking out yoga studios in my area. I was thrilled to discover that Peace Love and Yoga (PLAY) offered free, unlimited classes to any new client for an entire week. What did I have to lose? Since I've only been to a handful of classes, I started off with their Playgrounds class taught by Catherine. She was amazing! Super basic class and it was exactly what I needed to get started and truly understand the purpose and meaning of each breathe and each pose. By the end of the hour....I was hooked! I know what it feels like after a great workout, but this was different. My body felt free and open but more importantly, I realized I was able to let go of all the demands from the office, from home and from life and just focus on me. My mind was for the first time in many months...calm and not thinking of the 100 things I could be doing in this hour. It felt amazing to truly let go. During my free week, I went nearly every day and tried their Hot Yoga, Play 1 and even their Play1-2 class. Monique was one of the instructors that really stood out for me. She has great energy and her classes are so awesome. I know I'm making an absolute fool of myself in class but i'm very much enjoying every minute of it. = ) I'm poking fun of myself but really, no one seems to care or judge when I'm falling trying to get into a pose. The instructors and even the participants are very down to earth. I'm still getting all the lingo down and the poses and I'm sure I'll be a beginner for many, many, many months to come but you've to start somewhere, right? Now that I completed my free week, I've just renewed for an entire months of class. I'm so excited to learn more about yoga and see progress (hopefully). I'd highly recommend Peace Love and Yoga. If you're afraid of the hot yoga classes like I was, don't worry. It's not that bad...and I don't do heat well. read more

Drip... Drip... Drip... *Deep cleansing breathe* ... Drip... Drip... Drip.... This basically sums up hot yoga. The single most cleansing exercise I have ever done. By the end of the hour or hour and a half session, your shirt will be stuck to you and you will be amazed at the amount of sweat dripping from your body. Yet, you will be smiling from ear-to-ear, feeling awake, enlightened, and physically lighter. At PLAY, the teachers will push you to new limits, but they encourage you to go at your own speed. They will smile their yogi smile and welcome you into there zen. It's hard to remember whatever you were stressing about as their soothing voices urge you to let it all go. I wasn't so sure about the heat in the room. It gets hot. Like really hot. Like 106F hot. Yeah... Drip... But honestly, the heat helps you block out the internal voice and simply be in the present... Give it a try. They have GREAT new client specials (10 consecutive days for $10 when I first tried it). read more

Price. Cheaper than most. They offer 10 days for $10 for new clients. Practically it's free. They offer various pricing options that suits your needs and budget. They also offer student and military discounts. Staff. Super friendly and helpful. Most, if not, all walk around and make adjusts. Some instructors use candles. Every instructor is different so your body will not get used to a single routine. Studios. There are 2. One is heated and the other is used for the Flow and Restore class. Unsure if Room 2 is heated. Locker room. Doesn't appear so but there are ample cubby holes. Showers. 2 Restrooms. 2 All you need is about the size of your mat so overcrowding shouldn't be an issue. Thanksgiving eve and Christmas eve, there were about 40 or so people in the heated room. That's the most that I ever seen. You can always squeeze in one more. Classes. Throughout the day so you have options. Floors. Hard but that's what your mat is for. Water. Bring your own. Filtered water is available. Mats/towels. Available for rent. read more

Peace love and yoga...and Pilates on a Saturday! This studio is super clean and has a great vibe to it. I was very intrigued with the concept of hot temperatures and exercise...and it turns out they are definitely on to something.... The feeling you get of working your body in heat is amazing and the teachers know exactly how to deepen your inner mood to channel peace and tranquility, I tried the saturday morning pilates with Susan and she helped me with my lower back issues by giving me great suggestions. Unfortunately my wallet doesn't reciprocate the same zen feeling after leaving PLAY.... I wish to be a member there but the classes are a bit pricey.. especially for monthly unlimited... Oh well... maybe when I'm rich read more

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea"- Isak Dinesen Peace Love and Yoga is definitely the place to come and sweat out a long day at work and clear your mind from anything else going on in life. It is a beautiful space. Very clean, fresh and decorated for a tranquil ambiance. I loved that they offered a free trial week. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. I tried a Play 1 class which I feel is great for those entering the wonderful world of hot yoga, like myself. I have taken yoga on and off for a while and thought I had been in a heated yoga class somewhere along the way as I have seen windows fog and have sweated profusely on multiple occasions, but I quickly learned that heated yoga is yoga in a sauna and you KNOW when you are partaking in such a class. It was a very therapeutic experience for me as I sweat away any worries I had at that moment in life and almost let out some tears for good measure to make sure I finished class with all ailments cured (I definitely have to adjust to heated yoga. During I kept thinking "why am I doing this?" but I am glad I persevered as I left feeling so rejuvinated and refreshed.) I have three recommendations for you: 1. Check out Peace Love and Yoga soon. 2. Bring a towel so you don't slip. 3. Arrive early because I am not the only one who recognizes the benefits of heated yoga and realizes Peace Love and Yoga is a great place to practice. read more

Incredible level of instruction with a variety of classes and styles. Welcoming to beginners or seasoned practitioners. If you want to sweat and move try Diane's classes, or to move deeper into your practice try any class with Susan. The sound healing with Bob is also a must try! The studio is clean, bright, and has wonderful energy. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful. I wish I could give this studio 10 stars read more

Three friends and I decided randomly one night that we were going to try yoga the next morning. Having found a $30 groupon for 10 classes at Peace Love and Yoga we all figured why not. Being a total yoga beginner I had no idea what I was signing up for when I realized PLAY was mostly hot yoga, but I figured if it was going to kill me, I'd die trying. Since my friends and I were new to PLAY we got an additional free week of classes so the classes we went to the first week didn't count against our 10 for $30, which was pretty cool. The girl at the desk was very nice and pleasant. The studio itself is very clean. Note that this is hot yoga so if the room smells like body odor you shouldn't be shocked. Just because some people believe in wearing deodorant when you're about to be holed up in a steaming hot room full of 30 sweaty people doesn't mean all people do. To each their own... I had done a little research before going to my first class to see what I should bring. PLAY's website suggested a bottle of water and a towel, in addition to your own mat if you have one. Um...yeah, DEFINITELY BRING A TOWEL AND WATER. The first class I went to was Play 1 with Carey. Holy crap did I get my ass kicked. Let's just say her class was pretty challenging for little beginner yogi me (note that my friends felt pretty challenged, too). I mean, I'm not the most in shape person, but I'm definitely not particularly out of shape either. Carey's class felt like a work out in a sauna. After attending several other classes with other instructors one friend and I really enjoyed Gary's Hot Flow classes. We both felt like he went at a great pace (not too intense), but still challenged us in a way that made us feel like we were doing something productive. We started attending his Hot Flow classes as often as we could. Heatwise the classroom temp varies. I've been when the class is at it's lowest (I think they said high 80's) and I've been when we started at the hottest (low 100's). The temperature will obviously increase during the class and will depend on how many students are in attendance. I have only been once or twice when it was particularly hot and the instructor opened up the doors for a minute to circulate some new air into the room (both those classes were completely packed). I noticed the mid morning classes tended to be the most crowded. Getting to class early is highly advised if you don't want to be stuck in the heat trapped corner or want to be able to pick where you set up camp. Also, don't forget your water! They do sell water (they also have some free water) and other beverages at the studio, as well as have towels for rent, but bringing your own is obviously easier. Overall PLAY is a great place to practice some hot yoga and get in touch with your inner chakras. read more
