Best equipped studio in Ventura with full yoga walls, extensive props and wonderful teachers. Highly recommended. I feel so much better a free each class. Your body and mind will thank you! read more

Lets begin by saying they are a local business...also they teach Iyengar....To be an Iyengar teacher the training is rigorous and they can tell if your form is correct through layers of clothing... The asanas are supported with props. Personally, it is the only yoga I will ever do. The vibe here is cool and welcoming. And yes, they practice all the Covid protocols. I don't know all of the instructors, but the ones I have met are wonderful....Love, love, love this place! read more

See all

I hesitated to join the studio for months. 1,5 hour of yoga class, really? It's unbelievable that time flies so fast that 1,5 hour is over and it's time for "Shavasana". All instructors who I've tried are extremely knowledgeable and experienced: Terry, Anna, Lynda, Anthony. They pay attention to your individual needs and wants, and customize it for your individual goals. Ventura Yoga Studio is a hidden gem. The classes are small, so you get individual attention. Either you have been practicing yoga for years or thinking to start this is the place! I enjoy it very much! read more

This is a great studio. I am new and I appreciate that the instructor and other students tolerate me as I am learning the practice. I feel welcome and I am excited to grow into a better student. I recommend this Studio to anyone who is looking for yoga in their life. read more

Excellent Iyengar Yoga instruction with a sense of humor! I moved to Ventura area from Los Angeles and feel so lucky to have this quality (and pleasure) in classes so close to my new home. I've studied with studio owner, Bryan Legere, and Saturday morning instructor, Jenelle. Two-thumbs up for both!! read more

I've been going to the Ventura Yoga Studio since 2000. I have visited many Yoga sites over the years and by far this one is the best. I find the classes both consistent in their Iyengar focus, as well as providing a variety by the different instructors. Each instructor has their own flavor and it's fun to learn so from several different personalities, although Brian (owner) is definitely my favorite. I highly suggest giving the studio a try. Especially if you have any injuries or limitations... their hands on, personalized approach will let you practice and heal/recover SAFELY. I was very excited to get a monthly pass, now offered, and have been going two times a day when I can. It's a great deal. read more

First time yoga student. Had no idea what to do expect but Rachael did a great jobs introducing me to the basics of this type of yoga. I'll definitely be back for more read more

I have been a fan of Brian Legere since his early days teaching out of a martial arts studio in Thousand Oaks. I can count great-teachers-have-known on one hand (in all fields, not just Yoga), and Brian is one of them. read more

Had the great opportunity to take a Bikram class at this studio while on vacation. Great class. Friendly instructor. Nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend this experience and studio. read more

This is an awesome experience. It seemed a bit intimidating to walk in and join a yoga class but it was what I wanted to do as part of my retirement. Now a few months later, it feels so good. Brian Legere seems to see everyone all the time and gives the most insightful bits of adjustment that make all the difference. The studio is beautiful, the equipment is great, but it is the instructor that makes the difference. Brian is a gift to our lives. It was sure a great decision for me, and I look forward to being part of this studio for a long, long time. read more

I am from out of town, I'm a long time Yoga teacher myself, and I got to Ventura Yoga and was denied coming into this class because i was exactly 4 mins late (my phone was in my hand cuz i just checked the time). I have worked in many yoga studios and it's pretty standard to have a 10-15 minute grace period that either you the teacher or the front desk person, locks the door and thats it. Anyway, the door was propped open but little did I know I was going to open the door and walk right into the middle of the class, no lobby. If I knew that was the case I would've never walked in! My face turns bright red. An older teacher with a mustache hops up with an offended look on his face, mind you he had 5 students and he doesn't say hello or smile. I was taken by surprise by his unwelcome expression, so I immediately asked if it was too late to join the class. He looks at the clock and looks back at me and says "well...No... the next class is at blah blah blah!" and stares at me. I felt so embarrassed, confused and awkward. In my nervousness I said something and I just pulled back out of the propped open door and left. Having worked in small and large corporate Yoga studios for years I know that the small businesses like this one are always struggling financially (if your studio is thriving financially my apologies). If the class was packed maybe i'd understand. To turn away a student that not only is happy to pay but also wants to commune with other people is just backwards. Take this for what it's worth, my suggestions are: #1 close and lock the door if you don't accept late comers. #2 post on your website prominently 'door closes at said time', because there is a studio standard out there. #3 make sure your clocks are correct. #4 often yogis are late because of something that happened right before they came that was upsetting, they need to be on their mat with other like minded people around them. Be compassionate. #5 not everyone is late because they're lazy or thoughtless so it is always nice to be greeted with a smile and a hello, even if it's a whisper and your answer is no to that late comer. Thanks for listening. read more
