The Iyengar Yoga source studio is by far one of the best yoga studios I've ever frequented. Their instruction is top-notch, as is their understanding of all aspects of Yoga. As a beginner, there is no question, but that it's best to start at a studio like this. And, for long-term practitioners, it is essential to have a community like this one to be a part of.

Working a 9-5 desk job has led to a lot of chronic pain & stiffness as well as brain fog and grogginess & the relief I feel after taking Iyengar classes is truly incredible.

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.

When I first started working with Eliana, I complained to her of spaciness/mental fog, neck…read moretension/pain, the way my face had become visibly lopsided, and the cost of frequent chiropractic visits. All of these complaints were the result of two cervical injuries I incurred during my reckless youth - injuries that had been recently aggravated by a case of whiplash. To begin, Eliana guided me through some assessments and gave me very specific exercises to do including some that involved working my left hand. These movements prompted me to remember a TIA (mini-stroke) that I had a year prior and had forgotten to include in my medical history. The main effect of this TIA on my body was an inability to move the fingers of my left hand, so I was very impressed that Eliana was able to identify this weakness through her assessments alone. I've been having sessions with Eliana now for four months. We're on opposite coasts, but I feel very seen and cared for by her via the Zoom platform. She is a very focused, knowledgeable practitioner. Her instructions are clear and her style is relaxed, natural, and delightful. I've been devotedly doing my exercises (except on the weekends when I visit my beloved), and I am beyond pleased to report that I am thinking very clearly. In addition, I am holding my chiropractic adjustments for longer periods of time, experiencing less tension and pain, and most surprising to me - my mouth is much less lopsided! My goal is to regain complete balance again, and I feel confident that we can achieve that. On the basis of these wonderful results, I whole-heartedly recommend Eliana. To conclude, Eliana has helped me improve my quality of attention, the ease with which I move, and my confidence level. Her value is priceless.

I found Eliana through a Google search and I am so thankful that I did. I love to be active, but I…read morecouldn't stand battling knee and back pain as a result of working out anymore. Through her Pilates workouts and her abundance of knowledge on proper movement and body alignment Eliana is helping me strengthen my body and move more mindfully. Each and every session I know I will learn something new, have fun doing it, and leave feeling strengthened and refreshed. I have only participated in private sessions with Eliana, but I have seen her lead small classes which look just as wonderful and I hope to join soon. I highly recommend the one on one sessions because you learn SO much about your own body and all the little quirks unique to YOU. What I have learned from her, I carry with me far beyond the walls of the studio, too - it applies to other workouts (hello, yoga) and daily activities like walking or sitting at my desk. Totally worth it!

I absolutely love this yoga studio…read more I'm new to yoga. I have visited a couple yoga studios to try them out but never joined until now. I was having trouble staying asleep and having anxiety at night due to a lot of stressors earlier this year. I found this place from groupon and I have been a member ever since. This place is amazing... all of the instructors are amazing. I always appreciate their hands on adjustments. The atmosphere and aromatherapy is so relaxing! I always feel rejuvenated and relaxed after every class. My flexibility, sleep, and stress level has definitely improved. They also have everything you may need: yoga mat, blocks, straps, and bolsters so you don't need to bring anything unless you want to use your own stuff :) I always look forward to my days off from work because I can't wait to come here!

In fact, she was more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. She not only prepared and guided us up to the birthing, but she was the perfect "instrument" to the "symphony" of our home birth. Even months later Aria continues to gift us with her support, light and true angelic nature. It has been an honor knowing her and I couldn't imagine a more honorable woman to help born my first son.

She is not only knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, yoga, meditation..., but she is also a very wise person who gives very thoughtful suggestions and genuinely cares about people around her.

If you've ever been scared to get back into Pilates because of pain or past injury - read this…read more I stopped doing Pilates because of sciatica. Not just mild discomfort, the kind that you know one wrong move will set you back. I even tried going back once, clearly explained my condition, and still walked out worse... the pain came back the second I sat in my car. So I avoided it for years. Then I met Tiffanee. And everything changed. This is not your typical Pilates class where the instructor is just calling out movements and hoping you keep up. Tiffanee is fully present. She watches you. She adjusts you. She makes sure your posture is exactly where it needs to be - not almost right, but right. You feel seen in her class. Because of that, I was able to rebuild trust with my body again. Beyond the physical part, her energy is something else. She creates a space that makes you actually want to come back. Especially in the past couple of months, having her classes as part of my routine has been grounding, stabilizing, and honestly... something I didnt realize I needed this much. She didnt just teach Pilates - she helped me return to something I thought I had to give up. I can't recommend her enough! :)

Dear Jeny, I can hardly put into words how absolutely…read moreamazing your soundbath was, it was hard to describe the fantastic experience, but I will do my best. I was in one of your soundbath groups, but from the very beginning, I felt encased in a protective bubble of utter peace and relaxation. Each different instrument you played and your soft voice put me deeper and deeper into that tranquil state. How you walked around the room with the chimes and the waves sounding Instruments was astounding! Most of the time, I literally felt like my arms and legs floating, though in reality I was laying comfortably on one of your mats. I remember thinking "on my arms, really floating? Yes, they are!" The MOST incredible thing, though, happened to me AFTER leaving your sound bath, while eating supper with friends. You see, I had a stroke, a couple months before the soundbath, was left with what is called "aphasia", the difficulty of verbally expressing myself. Directly after the soundbath, my friends brought to my attention how clearly I was talking, much much better than I had before the bath. Truly, you are a healer!! A wonderful healer! My only regret is that I was just traveling through the San Diego area on a trip, so I cannot take part regularly in your healing baths either in groups or, what I would love to do is book private sessions with you. I definitely will be doing that when I am once again anywhere close to you! Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart, this 71-year-old! Barbara Gill
