Yoga Center Palm Desert

Do you want your practice to improve? Are you looking to be more flexible? Well come on down to Yoga Center of Palm Desert! Holly and her small group of instructors are well trained in all aspects of Iyengar yoga. Feel your body become alive and feel active and fit. Hope to see you soon.

I found Holly, one of the owners of the studio, a great teacher and committed full time to her yoga discipline. She is direct, loving and coached and helped move me beyond and improve what I thought I could do! I love Iyengar style as it makes you go deep and quiets the mind. Best high ever.
Loved it so much I studied hard to become a certified Iyengar yoga teacher! The studio is also wonderfully equipped, spotless, and has a full rope wall. Which if you haven’t taken a rope class you are in for a treat (kurunta)!

I am very impressed with the Yoga Center. Holly has helped me get rid of a nagging back problem… it gets better with each visit. I have only been going about two months and I love it. I work all day and look forward to my afternoon gentle yoga… which for me is a good challenge but it not that hard. Holly really teaches too. She is looking at each student and making adjustments to make your pose the best for you. She is really aware and on the job and I feel great when I leave. I am so happy I found this. I usually drag in but I fly out!

Here’s what is outstanding at the Yoga center:
— the quality of instruction
— the cleanliness
— the variety and accessibility of the props and equipment
— efficient cooling and heating systems
— friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff
— lots of parking close by
— reasonable prices
That’s all I can think of.

Words literally can not describe the gratitude I feel for being able to start my day at this place.
I’m in love!
Practicing yoga changed my life, for good.
I am still learning and what helps the most is the motivation I get: instructors are SO caring, super detailed and patient.
Our group of people has an impressive energy, we definitely bringing light and harmony to our world!
I truly believe this place is blessed :)

I have been a student of Yoga techniques for many years and am happy to endorse this business. Holly is a wonderful, supportive Iyengar teacher who has a great sense of humor! She teaches rope and chair classes that have really helped me open up my muscles without strain. She is caring and helpful to everyone who enters the yoga center. She takes that extra step to help you through any pose. The center is large enough to spread out and it is decorated with beautiful floors! The Yoga Center has an atmosphere that very is calming and her classes give me a great workout!

I was a visitor to the area for 2 months. Looking for a way to continue my regular yoga practice I was fortunate enough to find Palm Deset Yoga Center and in particular Holly Hughins. She responded immediately to an email inquiry and made helpful suggestions about what classes to take. Soon after arriving I was in class. Holly is an outstanding teacher who balances a focus on the specifics of a pose, offers multiple ways to achieve the pose through the use of a range of props and is encouraging to students at all levels. I am back in the snow now, missing the sun and the studio. I look forward to my return next year.

I am a martial artist that recently moved to the desert and was looking for a new discipline. On the recommendation on someone I trust I ended up taking a class from Eileen (Astanga) and I was more than thrilled. Never have taken any yoga really but her teaching style and her enthusiasm and her character really spoke to me.
Their style /​discipline is very conducive to inward thought/​meditation and I would absolutely recommend these teachers and this facility to anyone looking to learn and practice and grow.
I have been attending for a month and a half, and I am now a yoga junkie. Thank you Elieen. I feel better, I am looking better, and I cannot recommend this place and this person enough.

Enjoyed my class on Thursday. Holly is very knowledgeable and helpful teacher. I can’t wait to go back Sunday. Also to try the other master teachers. Right now it’s a great value $ 8.oo per class.

This new Yoga studio is a breath of fresh air! It’s bright and inviting and even has ROPE WALL! I’ve never seen one, but now I’m going to look for them because they really help you get into the pose.
Holly is a great teacher, so patient with serious beginners like myself. She knows how to push you so you get the most out of the class, but also knows how to asses any injuries you have and suggest modifications.
This is my new spot!

Ahhhhh… just left Yoga Center Palm Desert and feel thoroughly stretched out and open in my hips and my shoulders. Found out about this new studio through the yoga grapevine (or should I say rope wall?) and headed out to the Coachella Valley to check it out. My husband and I felt instantly calm as we walked into the warm and spacious practice room, taking note of all the nice, new props, the full-​length rope wall, and the cushy floors (cork, not hardwood!).
Not knowing what to expect from a class titled ”Exploration of the Rope Wall,’ led by two up-​and-​coming Iyengar instructors – Holly Hughins and Mary DeVore – we were taught ten or so variations of the traditional poses, using the wall and ropes to get even deeper into the postures. This was a free public class, but looking at the price list it looks like the drop-​in and monthly rates are totally reasonable, especially for instruction from respected Iyengar and Ashtanga practitioners. There’s plenty of parking in the shopping center behind Hwy 111 and they have a nice little patio in the back. Next time we trek east for some R&R we’re totally making a pit stop here for our yoga fix. Can’t wait till they get their website up and running and post some more workshops!
