Janice at Yoga Gal is such an amazing instructor, and I feel truly fortunate to be part of her program. This past year of practice has been a highlight: always fun, inspiring, and genuinely motivating. I can feel myself growing stronger and more confident in my practice, even though there's still plenty of room to grow. read more

5 huge stars for Janice at Yoga Gal. She has such a great program, all the instructors are incredible. we have a group that comes here and we always have an amazing time. Yoga builds strength, mobility and it is a great stress reliever. This place is perfect for beginners just getting started and for Yogies who know what they are doing. Thank you Janice. read more

Janice is the most genuine caring person I think I have ever met. Her classes are perfect for beginners and advanced yoga enthusiasts. She educates for wellness both physical and mental. I strongly urge you to take one of her many classes either online or in person. Namaste read more

If you're considering starting yoga and have never done it before, or you're convinced you're stiff as a board, then Yoga Gal is right for you! Janice is a wonderful beginner yoga instructor--her classes are paced based on whomever shows up for class, and class is never larger than 12 people. Usually she asks everyone what they would like to work on for the day, and you can offer up whatever body part is bothering you to incorporate into the day's practice. I always went to her Level II (Vinyasa/Flow) class, as her Level I was a little too easy for me. Even at Level II, you don't feel pressured to rush through the poses. On that note, if you're a super yoga guru, this may not be the best yoga studio for you. You get a lot of individualized attention, and her hour-long classes end with a 10-min Shavasana (lay flat on the ground and meditate) WITH mini-massage! Woohoo! Who doesn't love a mini-massage. She also has extra yoga mats, blocks, straps, and blankets if you forget or don't have your own, and they're free to use during class. The only negative is that sometimes the room is kinda dusty, and the kids/parents downstairs doing their ballet and kickboxing classes can be kinda loud. Originally, classes were Tuesdays and Thursdays, but she's got Saturday and Sunday classes now too! All the times are up on the website. read more

I have been doing yoga with Janice for over 6 years now and have loved every session with her. Whether you are a beginner looking for an easy introduction to yoga or an intermediate looking to improve your practice, Janice will cater to your personal needs. She brings a particular mindfulness to her practice that is often missed by other yoga instructors. I leave feeling refreshed, strengthened, and more alive after every session! I highly recommend attending any of her classes :) read more

Everyone is most welcoming and encouraging. No need to worry if you are just starting out or are further on in your voyage of discovery Janice will help you gain more experience! Janice teaches many age groups and standards, and will put you at your ease. Just go along and enjoy! read more

After suffering with some serious problems with my neck, I turned to Janice for help in my recovery. I was new to yoga, and Janice was so patient in teaching me the basics while adapting yoga to my limitations. Over the past year and half, I have improved my strength and flexibility in no small part due to Janice. She has a unique ability to keep me improving and learning while integrating new members into the class. Janice is always looking for new approaches to teaching and modifying yoga. Many times in class, she has a new technique or pose that she has chosen especially to help me or another student with our particular challenges. These new ideas have helped me gain flexibility or accomplish a pose that has been difficult for me in the past. Janice is upbeat, supportive and relaxed. I always feel better both mentally and physically after our class. read more

I have been attending Janice's yoga class for about a year, and it is wonderful! I attend with my client who is an adult with a developmental disability, and we both really enjoy the class. Janice does a great job accommodating for yogi's of all levels, and really engaging the whole class. She is so welcoming and attentive, and is able to make each class so much fun! She makes everyone feel comfortable, and allows everyone to enjoy the class at their own level. Thanks Janice!! read more

Janice absolutely fantastic! I love her humor and her instruction is easy to follow, plus she'll give you options if you want to take it up or take it down a notch. She is perceptive, fun, kind and non-judgmental. I feel so very fortunate to have found her class. read more

Janice teaches a great class! She was extremely welcoming and provided several hands-on adjustments all throughout class. A great addition to the morning!!! Thank you Janice! read more

I am so lucky to have Janice, the Yoga Gal, so close by. She is a very accommodating teacher, who can adapt the class to whatever level you are at, without feeling intimidated or embarassed. Her humor and happy attitude emanate from her during the class. She makes it fun and she does a great routine in an hour. If you are a busy person, like I am, this is a perfect amount of time to get in a yoga class. I highly recommend her skills as a yoga instructor. She is also very flexible if you miss one- she let's you make it up :) I also love that props are available and all ages are present, from teens to seniors. You must try her class! read more

Janice is not only a Yoga instructor, she is also a Senior fitness specialist. I was in awe watching her work with an elderly client. She has an ability to be encouraging, creative and adaptive . She is intuitive, which allows her to taper her approach to each individual's needs. read more

Janice is an awesome instructor. We all work at our own skill level. Whether you are a beginner or not, you work at your own pace. If you can do a pose, great, if not, she finds another pose that is better for your body with the same result. Janice makes the class fun, so come with a sense a humor. Her I.S.P.E. program is great too. read more

What a great way to start my day! I work out almost every day, but yoga isn't part of my typical fitness routine. That may change after taking this class! I love the welcoming, fun and professional environment with Yoga Gal. Janice monitored me throughout the class. Towards the end, she encouraged me to try something different, a headstand, and she was right there to guide me. With her help, I did it! Yay, proud moment!!! I recommend Janice at Yoga Gal for group and private classes. It will make you smile! read more

I will never breathe in the smell of grapefruit the same again! It's my favorite part of class... Yoga Gal Janice is pretty much the instructor for anyone who has tried Yoga before and didn't like it. She makes it fun and works on her students' inside as much as their outsides. The classes I attend, held in both a rec center and the park, feel like going to work out with a private trainer -- she gets to know her students and remembers their injuries, helps with good alignment and knows everyone's favorite moves. Suffering with a lower back disk injury myself, the class is incredible, even on days when I can't quite bend. All levels feel welcome and there is a lot of laughter. Janice attracts a tribe of kind, smart, joyful guys and gals who appreciate her wonderful, welcoming & witty personality, as much as her incredible ability to make everyone feel so good. I highly recommend Yoga Gal for anyone looking for a San Diego yoga class that they will leave feeling stronger, more flexible and with a renewed appreciation for finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. read more

I first went to Yoga Gal because of a deal that I got on Living Social and it's proximity to my home. I continue to go there because of the loving calm atmosphere that Janice creates. The room is a good size and has a warm wood floor. The large 2nd floor windows highlight the tree tops and if you want to check your posture, there is a full wall of mirrors. There are extra mats, blankets, straps and blocks in abundance. Janice's classes are always just the right pace and challenge because she offers/instructs variations with most poses so you can get just the right "work-out" that you need. Any pain or tightness I have at the beginning of class is eliminated with the poses, breathing and relaxation. I always leave class feeling lighter, happier and more energized. Janice has a HUGE heart which she selflessly shares with others. You will feel the love and care when practicing at Yoga Gal. read more
