I have only done yoga one other time in my life prior to our yoga on the beach session, but she made me feel confident in my form and abilities. I was in contact with Cathy a few months prior to our session - I booked her for my best friend's bachelorette weekend. This yoga session was a surprise to the bride and out of all of the activities we completed in San Diego that weekend, this yoga session was her favorite by far. Coordinating 10 women for a yoga session is not easy feat, but Cathy did just that. She is gracious and patient and super talented. If I ever go back to visit Sunny San Diego, you better believe I will be reaching out to her again! Thank you SO much Cathy for all that you do!

We had a wonderful session on the grass at La Jolla Shores Beach, and everyone loved it.

I'm a caregiver for a woman with early stage alzheimer's and my client's daughter wanted me to take…read moreher to Yoga. We tried a handful of chair yoga classes but they did not seem to work for her. Then we finally found the chair yoga class at SDYS. At first I was dropping her off and picking her up and one day Kim invited me to stay for the class. As far as my client goes this studio was exactly what she needed. The environment is warm and welcoming and Kim is extremely patient with her, as well as all the other students. We've been going for about 6 months and it's been a great part of my client's overall wellness routine. As for me... Let me tell you...! I love yoga and I've taken many different types of classes from vinyasa, bikram, core power, to my own practice at home with an app. I started coming to the chair classes with my client and YOU THINK it's going to be "easier" but it's not. The props used in iyengar yoga, as well as the intricacy of the instruction, allow you to strengthen and stretch deeper, but within your appropriate range of motion. Coming to class goes beyond that. Kim's instruction, as well as the other instructors, teach you how to teach yourself about your body. Their cues bring awareness in a way I have never experienced in other yoga classes and coming to this class made me realize that I was probably doing many of the poses in other yoga classes incorrectly or not as they were intended. I'm stoked that SDYS has worked for my client but I'm also stoked its worked for me. It makes so much sense that true yoga practice is actually about "precision and alignment" not about getting your sweat on or suffering in a 100 deg room for 90 minutes... I think that this type of movement, iyengar style yoga, is a true healing modality and a toolbox for graceful living. Aside from all that, over the last couple months I've felt so much improvement in my posture, my surfing, my cross-training and my overall well-being. This might not be the type of yoga you may have expected, but it is the yoga practice you always needed.

First time taking yoga on the beach and LOVED it!…read more The instructor was not so fast and the poses/directions were easy to follow even if you've never done yoga before. I was with a large group of women and there were some that were experienced and some that were beginners with yoga. If you want in our class Really enjoyed it and even after words continue to talk about how universal this class really is. The location was perfect and the back ground was even better! you really cannot beat the background of the waves to help you focus on your inner self. we did yoga in a grassy area that was directly above the sand by the beach which was perfect because I'm sure if you did it on direct and it would be even harder to do some of the poses. I would highly recommend this class to big groups or even going by yourself. Although I came from out of town I will definitely have this in mind next time I come to visit.
