From the moment I walked into Shine Yoga Studios, I felt completely welcomed. The front desk staff…read morewas so kind, warm, and informative, they took the time to share helpful insights about the studio, which made my first visit feel so comfortable and inviting. My instructor, Sara, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly welcoming and made sure I never felt out of place as a first-timer. Her energy, guidance, and encouragement truly made the experience special. The studio itself was spotless, so clean and thoughtfully maintained. The essential oil scents throughout the space were absolutely fabulous and added such a calming, elevated touch to the entire experience. The cleansing and overall atmosphere were just beautiful. I'm also so proud of Taylor for the incredible studio she has continued to build, it truly shows in every detail!!! 10/10, I will definitely be coming back. Whether you're brand new like me or an experienced yogi, I would highly recommend Shine Yoga Studios to anyone looking for an amazing, welcoming, and uplifting experience.

I am currently on my journey to finding a yoga studio to call home and after my first yoga class…read morehere I think I might have found it. I am getting more and more into hot yoga and I tried vinyasa yoga at an amazing studio and I loved it but being a beginner I wanted something more slower paced so I can gradually get back up to a more advanced class. This studio provides that option for me with the variety of hot yoga classes they offer from beginners to advanced. What I like about the feel good hot yoga is it is beginner friendly but still provides that challenge so it is so worth it for somebody like me who wants to focus on flexibility and weight loss. I came about 30 minutes earlier to get registered and get a feel of the place and was so cute, the woman at the front desk was very welcoming, my instructor was so kind and just provided a fun friendly atmosphere, she didn't try to push me too far just focus on going with my limits. It prompt me to do more research on the place and the owner seems amazing! I am taking advantage of the 3 for $33.00 deal and i will make a decision on if this studio will be my home or not but it's feeling like yes!

This was my first time coming here and I tried the hot vinyasa yoga and I really enjoyed this…read moreexperience. I am new so I arrived about 5 minutes early to get registered and Ashley was my instructor, she is so nice and welcoming. The whole staff is, even the students. The class was packed which was a bit overwhelming trying to figure out where to sit ( Ashley recommended sitting in the middle or back for newbies ) so that's what I did, a woman from the class was so polite to create a space for me which brought my anxiety down. If the classes weren't so crowded I would have gave 5 stars! Now this class was hot I mean 5 minutes in I was sweating and the class hadn't even begun yet. I love the fact that Ashley pays attention to her students, you can tell she really cares about what she does. It starts off slow and nice and manageable but the vinyasa flow whooped my butt, I was drenched in sweat, looking around like is anyone else dying and it made me feel better knowing I wasn't alone so I stuck it out and completed it, with taking breaks in between which was encouraged so I didn't feel bad. The class was very very very challenging but rewarding, it makes me want to keep coming back so I can get better because I barely know the poses names. I loved the juice section of the studio, it was much needed after class, I ordered the blueberry matcha which was delicious and filling ! Please try it. The woman making my drink was super cool! So overall I am coming back and I highly recommend!

I attended an All Level Yoga class tonight 4/26/26 with Monica and she is a great teacher. I had let her know during class that I had sprained my left ankle a little bit and she had me adjust my techniques so I would be putting no strain on my ankle and during class she allowed me to adjust my techniques as I needed to. That's a sign of an excellent instructor and I am so grateful and relaxed now. I was feeling grumpy before class and that vibe has become happy. Thank you Deb and Bill for creating a wonderful space and for having wonderful teachers. I highly recommend coming here. They're The Best in San Joaquin County!

The value is over-the-top excellent, and trying to compare it to any other fitness facility I've had exposure to or experience with...is like trying to compare an apple to an orange! I have witnessed all age groups, and all fitness levels in the studio. It's a very unique and creative structure and style, tailored personally to the individual. They will hold you accountable and push you, yet somehow achieve that delicate balance of knowing exactly where the line is....(so they don't have to place that emergency 911 call in my case? lol) They provide a very warm, friendly, inviting environment eliminating that judgmental and/or intimidation factor that can sometimes be present with these type of establishments? (You won't find any clique groups here!) They really do seem to sincerely care....and you see and feel it in every aspect of your experience. A special personal thank you to Patrick Kucich, who was my trainer for my first two months! While I will definitely miss him, I won't miss the 6 inches on my waist that he helped me lose since my initial check-in on 3/19/14! (Impressive for less than 2 months, eh?) I wish him the very best in his future endeavors, and look forward to working with Jillian. If you live in the Stockton or Lodi area, do yourself a HUGE favor and check them out!! I don't believe you will find a better value for this type of personalized training!! Anywhere!!

The staff was just so welcoming, bless their hearts--they made me feel right at home, and they didn't rush me one bit. They showed me around, explained everything in a way I could actually understand, and even helped me with all my questions. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep up, but they were so patient and encouraging. And it wasn't crowded or chaotic like I feared; it was clean, organized, and had this friendly energy about it. I came home feeling a bit sore but so pleased with myself! Who knew I'd enjoy this sort of thing at my age?

This happened last year, but I want to share my experience here …read more. Good classes overall, and Tanon is an excellent instructor. However, canceling my membership was a frustrating experience. I had to give a one-month notice, go in person to submit a form, and still got charged for months after requesting cancellation in June--it wasn't processed until October. Communication was poor. Marilyn stopped responding once I asked to cancel, and Silvia never returned calls. Great instructors, but the management and cancellation process need serious improvement.

If you are looking for a relaxing, grounding, and welcoming environment to get back on the mat,…read moreplease DO NOT go to this yoga studio. It was neither welcome or grounding. I walked in this afternoon, after years of wondering about the plant, spa and yoga combo and I was greatly disappointed by the negative energy of the fellow who works there, no smiling or greeting, just how can I help you in a reluctant manner, than he says if you want plants or a spa I can't help you. No customer service, no invitation to learn more about the services. He treated me this way in front two other customers who wouldn't look me in the eye, smile or correct his bad behavior. It was plainly obvious, they didn't me to join them, and that is okay too. However, to my melanated queens who practice yoga, let me know where there is it a studio that welcomes all members of the community. Until then, it's back to Jessamyn Stanley and my black girl yoga YouTube channels! Let's change the energy. Peace.

The Aurobindo ashram in Lodi, CA is a special place. I have been to the Aurobindo ashram in…read morePondicherry, India and was delighted to discover they had an ashram two hours outside San Francisco. I went here with two friends and we had a great time. Beautiful grounds. Amazing library. Quiet place to meditate. Amazing gift shop with high quality products aka soaps and toothpastes etc. Bookstore. Worth coming here for a day trip or possible to stay for a longer retreat yet be prepared to do some seva aka karma yoga aka self-less service on the grounds as this is part of the vision of Aurobindo. The related Auroville just outside Pondicherry is the largest intentional community in the world and features nearly 100 nations there. The same energy at the Aurobindo ashram in Pondicherry is felt here aka high spiritual energy in the pristine grounds of garden, etc and folks living here from abroad and local making a melting pot similar to Auroville which is where many here have a direct connection to.
