So again, it's on the right corner of Walnut St. Had a misunderstanding on the class schedule and the lady who helped us was kind and helpful. They offer yoga, belly dancing, aerial yoga and I think acrobatic yoga too. Will go back and try their aerial yoga! --- Aerial yoga is fun and they are very attentive. Limited spots on Saturdays so call ahead, they also have it on Thursdays. Staff is super friendly and attentive!!:)

I recently attended the "Wake up with Wellness" retreat that was held during the "Taste of the SYV"…read moreweekend. It was a crisp, cool, morning out Foxen Canyon Rd at Koehler Winery. There were Emu's wandering the property and our event was up on the Tree house Deck, right were the Emu's could wander around us. We participated in the Sound bath & Restorative Yoga portion of the retreat. There was also another mini retreat of 'Make your own' Essential Oils class going on simultaneously. The restorative yoga was a new experience for my husband and I, and we both found it to be very relaxing and a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. After the yoga, they concluded with a sound bath healing with Lisa Jay, in which I had attended a sound bath healing with her before, and that is what drew me into attending this event. It was very healing, relaxing, and renewing to spend the morning with others, while Emu's made noises around us. There is nothing more grounding and uplifting than crystal bowls humming all around you, the sound reverberating throughout your whole being. I believe I drifted off at some point and didn't even realize I was outside in Los Olivos anymore, but transported to another world. If you haven't done a sound bath healing, I highly recommend it. I also think Yoga with Emu's could catch on, much like 'Yoga with goats.'.... If you haven't been to the Santa Ynez Valley, I highly recommend coming up for a visit, there is a sacred space out here, and to be able to attend this event was so special. The views around us, were breathtaking. VWC really thought of everything, after yoga and sound we were definitely thirsty and hungry. Kelly and her team even had a light fare that was provided afterward, there were snacks and Koehler offered a wine flight tasting afterwards, which was wonderful. VWC (Valley Wellness Collective) even included a small take home gift from the retreat. It was a beautiful way to celebrate taking care of ourselves, as self-care has been a new running theme for us. I look forward to what else Kelly and her team of Wellness Providers dream up next, at their next retreat/event. I am even excited about VWC Holiday Market coming up on the 23rd of November back out at Koehler Winery, (1pm to 4pm) celebrating local artisans selling their custom made wares. We really needed something like this in the Valley, and I'm grateful she (Kelly) has made it a reality here. It was well supported, and everything was well managed and effortless.

This is a wonderful studio, and I'm so happy that I found it. While I am very active (running,…read moreskiing), I really felt like I could stand to improve my core strength. I've never enjoyed yoga, so I thought I would give Pilates a try. As someone who has never been particularly flexible, though, I'll admit that I was a little nervous. I booked my first private appointment to learn the ropes, and I had a wonderful experience. Andrea is a great instructor-- encouraging and helpful. She knows just when to push me, and she makes adjustments to ensure that I'm not cheating on the reformer (I have one side that is stronger than the other, and she keeps a close eye on my form). I'm totally hooked now-- I've been doing private seasons twice a week for two months, and I've even been in for a group session that I also loved (Kristine is also a fantastic instructor). The studio is clean, spacious, and bright (lots of natural light, which I love). Even in a group setting you don't feel like you are on top of anyone else, and if you have a private session booked while there are other sessions in progress there are two private rooms. The equipment is clean and in great shape, and everyone is very friendly and welcoming (regardless of your ability). I'm just so pleased that I found this gem so close to home!

Every morning there are hikes that will push you to work, and have views that are amazing. In the afternoons, you'll have workouts (yoga, dance, TRX, interval training) and massages. The combination of the Bacara resort luxury, the views, the friendly people, and the qualified, trained staff make this a reputable, trustworthy fitness retreat. As soon as they get some of their details straightened out (shifting schedule, order of classes) I will switch to a 5 star rating. As a new company, I'd say they are going to do really well, as all the components are in place for a well-rounded experience. Oh, did I mention the wine tasting, lectures, personalized gait/ posture assessments, harbor cruise, and more more more??!!!

THere is tremendous lack of organization and none of it makes sense. I came here because I could not get inot the other programs and I really needed to get a kick start. Thie hiking is good and that is where it ends. No fulltime help no cohesiveness. The owner is not organized and does not know what he is coing. He gives one person one price and another another price. This camp is deligated to college part time students. Dinners are sometimes in the hotel sometimes out of the hotel with no restriction on eating which is not for me. I would not come back !

La Purísima Mission State Historic Park in Lompoc is one of the most fascinating and immersive…read moredestinations you can visit. It is the most fully restored of all 21 California missions. Established as the 11th mission in the chain, it is by far one of my top favorites, probably second to Santa Barbara, really! It's absolutely beautiful, as you will soon read. It was actually destroyed by an earthquake in 1812 and was rebuilt at its current location. Today, you can explore over 20 reconstructed buildings, including the church, workshops, living quarters, and blacksmith shop, that reflect the daily life of both the people who lived and worked here. The park is open almost every day from 9 AM to 5 PM, and it's perfect for both self-guided and docent-led tours. The Visitor Center is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM and provides helpful information and exhibits to get you started. I highly recommend a docent-led tour, the docents are so incredibly knowledgeable, and there's so much to learn about this historic site. On Demonstration Days, which take place several times a year, the mission hosts hands-on living history events, including blacksmithing, weaving, and candle-making. I look forward to visiting during Demonstration Days. I seriously can't wait to get back here. The grounds are large, rural, and so peaceful. There's a nearly three-mile trail loop. Parking is $6 per vehicle and $5 for seniors. I saw several dogs, but it does get very hot, and they are only allowed on the designated trails, not in the buildings, for obvious reasons. There are tons of animals, too. There were horses, steers, chickens, and more. Do not miss La Tienda, the mission's gift shop, where you can pick up local crafts, mission-themed books, and souvenirs. The local crafts are beautiful. I highly recommend this site for a half- or full-day visit! Make sure to set aside enough time for this beautiful gem. The drive alone is so beautiful and serene.

I recommend checking out the visitor center before doing the trails because you can get good information as well as all the different trails in the given map. Parking - I paid $6 to park on their private lot. The money goes to help them maintain the state park but if you don't want to pay I saw many people parking right outside on the street across and walking down.
