Drishti

I am so sad this place doesn’t have better reviews. I had a great experience at Drishti! The sales associate helped me get a fitting room and was very helpful. They have a great Axxess discount. It is 25% off for your first purchase and I believe 15% for every purchase afterwards.
Their selection is amazing! They have all the new styles and prints. I love their selection of Alo yoga pants. I would highly recommend this shop to any yogis who are looking for essentials or fashionable outfits.

My most recent experience at Drishti was not very good. My boyfriend and I where recommended to go here by someone who works at Divintree yoga studio. First time we went there the experience was so nice the girl at the front was a massage therapist like me and was so sweet and helpful, my boyfreind bought a few things (although pretty pricey) because we like to support local business. I went in there last Wednesday by myself to purchase an Access Santa Barbara book and maybe buy something. There was no one in there but as soon as I walked in the girl up front ignored me and went to the back to fold more yoga clothes instead of even attempting to help me. When I asked her if they had any more access books she was so fake and rude with her response-​sorry to interrupt you my dear but I thought helping customers was part of your job… anyway Ive never taken the time to write a negative review but she was so off putting I had to this time.

Drishti is my go to yoga store! Whenever I am in Santa Barbara I make it a point to drop in and get some new inspired yoga duds! I first found this place many years ago while visiting my yoga girlfriend that lived in Santa Barbara. I have remained a loyal customer for years! People… this is the ultimate yoga lifestyle store!
The owner Jenni is a phenomenal yoga teacher — you can attend her bad ass classes at Yoga Soup. Her staff are also real yogini’s and it shows. Drishti’s collection is a beautifully edited yoga store that has lots of clothes, mats and yoga essentials — but also carries a great yoga videos, book collections and jewelry.
I got an opportunity to shop in the store this weekend while down in Santa Barbara for a wedding. I came home with a luxuriously soft Beyond Yoga top and an amazing military inspired cozy blazer from Hardtail. Wore it to work today and already got complements! The perfect cozy fall piece for work and play in San Francisco.
I often buy things online from Dristi — because they carry allot of my favorite yoga brands. I am both a yoga and method classes devotee and so I like to mix up my look with some unique Drishti pieces so that my style stands out in a sea of LuLu Lemons! Plus Drishti’s prices are very competitive with any other yoga clothes stores or online sites.
If you haven’t had a chance to inspire your practice with some great new duds — get your butt to Drishti — I promise it will look better heading out than heading in!

I have been a big fan and supporter of Drishti for years. They had their 10 year anniversary sale yesterday. They had some $ 10 bins but several of the items were badly sun damaged/​stained or had holes in them. I wouldn’t buy the items for $ 10 in that condition and some customers I spoke to in the store agreed. I told one of the salesgirls about the bad stains on one shirt, suggesting she hold it aside rather than sell it. She said «oh, that’s fine, go ahead and put it back in the bin to sell.»
I believe this was a poor decision on Drishti’s behalf. Don’t sell damaged clothing, even for $ 10…it makes the store look very tacky! It would be better to write off the loss on your taxes.
As for the price of clothing and jewelry. I agree with the other posts; too expensive. I plan to diminish my spending at the store, especially after the damaged clothing experience yesterday.
As a Yoga instructor, you receive 10% off all items. At Lucy, instructors receive 30% and their clothing line lasts just as long if not longer than most of the brands that Drishti sells. A lot of the cotton items Drishti carries are made from very fine and thin cotton… example Oramomi at $ 130 a shirt?
Sorry Jenni (store owner) but you are bombing out on your customers and it will show, if it hasn’t already, in your sales.

We love this store. Great selection and great quality. It is a bit expensive, but that is to be expected with the brands they carry, including Hard Tail.

Drishti is one of my favorite stores in town; it’s locally owned and I really like that aspect; it’s also run with a lot of care and the quality of everything is really high. When I look at all of the things I’ve purchased over the past few years I’m thrilled that I am still wearing them and they still look great. What’s really nice too is that I am a little on the busty side and the manager and owner are always around to give me quick recommendations on things that will suit my body type. These clothes are form fitting for athletics so of course every body is different and each person’s shape needs a different fit. The last time I went in I found two tops that are so nice and fit so well that I’ve incorporated them into my work wardrobe to wear under jackets. These simple fitting tanks look far better than the simple shells I normally wear under my jackets at work. When you look at the quality, the friendly service and the longevity of the clothes once they are purchased it’s easy to see that everybody in the store puts a lot of care into choosing what they sell. I’m posting a review because I’ve been coming here for years and am finally able to appreciate the amazing long-​term value you get from things purchased here. Thanks Drishti!

The store was cute and they had a nice selection of yoga clothes. I was happy to see Beyond Yoga. Yes it’s expensive, but I think the quality is good. Only own a few pairs, and they last.
Also glad to see that they carried China Gel. After all the walking I really wanted some of that to rub on my feet!
Customer service could have been a bit better. It was average.

«Drishti is a point of gaze or focus. Drishti mainly means not looking at an external object but more drawing your consciousness away from the distractions around you, to one point of view. A point from where your concentration is directed inwards»
With that said– Ahhh… what to say about this store that is totally contradictory of its name? about this pseudo-​yoga culture that is based on aesthetics and how the body looks? hmmm… I guess one word could be Drishti, the store.
This store houses a lot of expensive, pretty ‘yoga clothes’ made for looking nice while you do yoga. Oh, and I have to mention that looking nice includes being a thin person who can fit in the sizes that they have in the store (or shop in the men’s section?) as well as having big bucks to slap down for their super expensive clothes. It sucks to leave this place, a store supposedly concerned with the «spiritual and blissful», empty handed because the clothes are too expensive and don’t seem to fit right.
