Indigo Yoga & Pilates – Pleasant Hill

I have been taking reformer pilates classes for the last 2 years and it has helped my back. I am much more flexible and almost entirely free of lower back pain! Deborah Goveia is my instructor during the 5pm classes. She is wonderful! She knows how to modify the class to address each student’s particular needs. I believe her dance background brings an added awareness to her classes as she is very in tune to each student. Classes are small (5 students) to insure one on one instruction when needed. The studio is clean, warm and inviting! Am so grateful to Eric and Kelly who are the owners!

Beautiful studio, amazing staff. The teachers are genuine, focused and eager to help and create a positive experience for their students. 5 stars.

I just wanted to do a quick shout out of praise for Indigo Yoga & Pilates. I had the good fortune to spend the weekend (May 23 — 25, 2014) at the studio at Module 1 of Kundalini teacher training with Ravi Singh and Ana Brett. It was nothing short of a spectacular weekend. Owners Kelly Callahan Black, Erick Black and their right hand super woman Sosie Sagherian led the weekend in a professional and uplifting manner that allowed us trainees to really focus on the training at hand. The studio provided for our every need — they even had hair bands for those who forgot to bring them! I don’t live in the area, but if I did, I would make Indigo my go-​to studio for Yoga and Pilates. This is a small, intimate studio with big heart. I whole-​heartedly recommend Indigo for anyone interested in furthering his or her physical and spiritual practice. Thanks Indigo. I look forward to the next module in June!

Darlene DeRose and Dr. Khaleghl Quinn created an amazing, magical day for the sold out seminar on Dreaming Consciously this past Saturday! What a way to spend a day… with others who want to discover more about themselves through the process of delving into the dream world! That coupled with Dr. Quinn’s sacred and integrative Chi Cybernetics… wow! Energy was moving internally and externally… powerful, powerful day! These two grounded, sacred women offered a place for self discovery and great peace! I will attend the next seminar on January 25^th,

This place goes way above and beyond what (in my humble opinion) a yoga studio should be. Why? I don’t have the kind of time to really do this place justice, but I’ll try.
For starters, the owners are simply awesome. They are two people who have a reverence for the practice, and it translates in every facet of their business. They will welcome you like family, and treat you like it. This is a place where you can feel comfortable, welcome and appreciated as a client. For me, that is vital.
Community. This is the most loving group of folks! Everyone comes here happy and that really makes a difference in the level of benefit you get from a class here.
Variety. This place has so many cool things to do here! It’s not just yoga. There are Pilates classes, different yoga classes, amazing workshops that cover a wide range of topics and Kirtan. If you love music, and want to be bathed in healing vibration and music for a few hours, come to Kirtan here. It will change your life. I promise. It changed mine, and now I can’t get enough.
Talent. The teachers here are knowledgeable and really care about your well-​being. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of ego here, which I think adds to the magic of this place. And the talent of these folks surpasses just the classes they teach. Eric and Kelly are both amazing musicians, and they bring that magic to their classes and to the Kirtan. (Seriously, come to Kirtan. Then you’ll understand what I’m talking about). There is also a member who sells incredible custom-​made jewelry, including beautiful malas. They sell other really neat handmade stuff there as well.
Healing. They have Reiki shares here, led by an amazing lady named Debbie. If you need healing, or a safe place to be for an evening, come to a Reiki share. This, too, will be a profound experience. I say that from personal experience. Not to mention, they have an AMAZING Naturopathic Doctor. Dr. Achuff is amazing… and I think she has a super power of being able to hone in and help you get the healing you need, provided you follow her advice. She is an absolute joy to deal with, and I’ve felt better in the two months we’ve been working together than I have in 5 years.
In summary, this place is just phenomenal. Please check it out and see for yourself. I promise you won’t be disappointed, and you will be surrounded by an outstanding group of people. :)

Indigo is an amazing place. all the classes and programs are wonderful. This review is for a new class on dream work by Darlene Cimmino Derose. All I can say is DO IT!
Five minutes with Darlene is better than a session with a counselor. You can even try it for free, how great is that? Trust me, all it takes is 5 minutes, and you’ll be wanting to continue. I thank Darlene, my family thanks Darlene. Because of her and her dream work I have a much better way of dealing with my problems. She is gifted!

Love this place! Wonderful knowledgable teachers. This place can take your yoga, palates, inner journey to the next level. There are a variety of classes available, easy to use online payment, and many weekend workshops including shamanic journeying, kirtans with beautiful musical accompaniment, chakra balancing and more. This place brings some Berkeley into suburbia. They do it with genuine light and love.

Kelly Callahan-​Black is a thoughtful, and excellent teacher. I love that she explains why and what each position SHOULD look and feel like — and what modifications can be made if you are not as «pliable» — it helps me be more intentional about the moves and get a great workout. This studio is pretty small and intimate, but Kelly’s energy and methods make you feel like you are having a one-​on-​one session.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Yoga/​Pilates mat class for those looking for a more intense workout than straight Yoga.

Wonderful! Everytime I go it’s an experience. I feel great days after a session. Why is it not closer to my home?! :)

Indigo Pilates & Yoga is a serene, welcoming studio. As soon as you walk in, you know that is where you belong. Eric and Kelly are amazing teachers and people. Their energy is always positive, which flows out in buckets during class. Being in the health industry I really appreciate an attentive teacher/​trainer/​instructor. Kelly knows the body, better than anyone I know. Its amazing how I think Im in full posture and she can touch me and pull me up (like a slinky!) and make even taller. Im always sad when our hour is over…
If you’re thinking of trying Pilates, call or stop by Indigo. You will be HOOKED!

Eric & Kelly Black are just 2 of the nicest people on this planet. This is a great spot to relax and unwind. They’ll help you find your inner happiness and get on track for a healthier view of life.
The studio is clean and very comfortable. The vibe is calm with a serious stress free environment. If you’re searching for a Pilates /​Yoga studio, it’s worth a moment of your time to call and speak with them.

Eric and Kelly are the coolest and most loving couple! I felt like I had known them my entire life at our first meeting. I felt very safe in the space that they create. I love their Kundalini Yoga class– I have been looking for a place that offers it this side of the tunnel and finally found it here! At the end of this class Kelly and Eric sang together in the most beautiful harmony– very heart opening. Indigo Yoga and Pilates has a warm, safe, comfortable, clean community feel where you will be nurtured while nurturing yourself through the wonderful classes offered. There is something magickal, real and rare about the owners Eric and Kelly and it shines through in every dimension of their Yoga center. You will have to check it out to see what I am talking about– they are refreshingly unpretentious and loving :)

I absolutely love this studio. I regularly attend the pilates mat classes with Kelly. She and Eric have created a warm and welcoming space. Even more than the physical location, though, Kelly creates a class environment that is open and generous — she encourages us to try new things and just have fun. The other people in classes are also really nice. My core strength (and appearance, I think!) have improved drastically since attending pilates.

Really wonderful setting. Kelly and Eric have created such a welcoming environment especially for those new to yoga. I love that they offer Sacred Cinema too!

This is a very sweet and welcoming neighborhood yoga and pilates studio. The owners, Kelly and Eric are both Kundalini yoga teachers and Pilates teachers and they have put their hearts into creating a beautiful space. The studio offers Kundalini, Jivamukti, vinyasa and hatha yoga as well as mat and reformer Pilates classes at very reasonable prices (compared to other area studios). Also, classes are smaller and so students receive a lot more personal attention than they do at larger spaces. The studio is located upstairs, above the market — just go inside the purple doors (there’s one on the street level facing Pleasant Hill Rd., and one up the outside staircase in the back). Parking in the lot is free and easy. They offer a new student package of 3 classes for $ 30. Definitely worth checking out!
