Yoga Vista

Yoga was at first something that I liked to do. Once my dr said it was a new lifestyle that I must take on for my migraines I embarked on a yoga routine. I’ve tried other studios, but Yoga Vista really feels like my safe place where I can become grounded and understand my body. My two favorite instructors are Erika and Jessica. They teach the gentler side of yoga on various days. I do gentle yoga for stretching, blood flow, back pain, migraines, and stress relief.
The inside of the studio has fluffy and always clean carpet with flowery orange curtains in the windows. The curtains during the day make the sun shine in a soft light that always warms my soul. Every time I’m at Yoga Vista, I know I’m not supposed to be anywhere else. If you’re a first timer I recommend going to either Erika or Jessica’s class. If you’re looking for a class schedule.

Until yesterday, I had been attending a gentle class at another local yoga studio, where my ongoing experience was so bad I’d leave each class irritated and in a bad mood. (Kind of defeated the purpose of taking a yoga class in the first place!) I needed to find a new studio and decided to try Yoga Vista. I’m SO glad I did! The air-​conditioned studio is clean, spacious, and tranquil. Sherry expertly guided us through numerous poses to improve our flexibility and strength and showed us how we could modify each pose for more challenge or to protect vulnerable joints. Even the background music was perfect – soothing and not too loud. Yoga Vista is now my go-​to studio. Thank you, Sherry!

I came here years ago for yoga and recently I’ve decided to get back into it. My instructor for years and years was Morgan and she was amazing.
My brother and I went last Tuesday evening for one of the available yoga classes with Marjorie and she was super nice. The only downfall is the limited availability of classes, specifically the ones I would prefer to do. The schedule shows they only have the class I want on Mondays and Wednesdays, which just so happens to be the days I have work until 4:30, then school or tons of school work so that’s a bummer. They also occasionally have it Friday mornings (again, time I can’t go), and Sundays at 8 am (no thank you!) Note: for people who know yoga, I wouldn’t recommend the «everybody» or «gentle» yoga class. It can be way too simple. I was hoping for the hatha/​active hatha so I could actually start getting some kind of exercise. Keep in mind they start the classes right at the time that is on the schedule so don’t be late! Also, certain days have about no classes that one can do if they want to be active. Thursdays are especially slow because they have classes such as «yoga for cancer,» «back restoration yoga,» and «gentle yoga,» pretty much all day (don’t get me wrong, I appreciate their dedication to fitting everyone’s needs and really caring about potential clients).
Another slight downfall is the price. It’s $ 15 per class, and $ 99 per month if you do auto-​pay. It’s to be expected though so I’m trying to figure out a way to make that $ 99 a month worth it. Also note that for those of you who don’t have yoga mats, I’d highly recommend you get your own! I forget if the mats to «rent» cost or not, but I don’t like the idea of using one that someone else has used.
Lastly, the location is perfect. It’s in downtown Vista which is luckily super close to my house. The studio itself is adorable, as small as it may be. Well maintained and super clean. Look at the schedule beforehand and see if it can fit your work/​school schedule, and if it does, go here!

I just started going here and I am hooked. I’ve always attended yoga at the gym before. I liked it, but never got the full benefit of relaxation or restoration when I had to walk through the sweaty, crowded, noisy gym to get to the classroom. Physically it was OK, but it wasn’t mentally very restorative.
Not the case with Yoga Vista. From the very first class I took I could see the difference. I started with the sematic class, and one of the instructors actually plaed guitar and saranaded us while the other one taught! It was amazing. I had been sore from rigerous workouts earlier in the week and I left feeling SO MUCH better.
I’ve attended several classes since that one and I’ve been happy with all of them. I like that the room is large, not overfull, and carpeted. I’m so glad I tried it; I will be a regular here from now on.

Love, love, love this studio! There are a variety of classes for everyone. The teachers are great and the studio is always very clean. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. This is my favorite place to practice.

Yin yoga with Jonathon was very good lots of stretching and relaxing highly recommend this class for everyone!

Clean, well organized and the owner is present and cares about you and your practice. I have had many excellent teachers there, in fact, I have not had one I did not enjoy.
Good for all levels, just read the class schedules. GREAT place to get started if you have never done yoga.
GET TO YOUR MAT. :)

The slogan for this studio is «yoga for everybody» and they couldn’t be more accurate. Even if you are out of shape and have never been to yoga before you will still enjoy their classes and gradually find yourself gaining in strength and flexibility. The teachers are amazing. They are all super friendly and welcoming. They make sure to get to know you and understand any injuries or limitations you might have. The classes are lighthearted and you never, ever feel pushed to do more than you are comfortable doing. I sure wish every yoga studio was exactly like this one. Kudos to Sherry for the wonderful job she has done creating the perfect place.

Yoga Vista is a right-​sized, lovely yoga community with healthy variety of teachers and class times, generous hearted owner and teachers. I sense that they live what they teach and teach what they live. I learned the best of yoga practice here so far. Great for enhancing body, mind and spirit. Cant wait to get back!

I love this yoga studio. Justine is my favorite yoga instructor ever – she is funny and so knowledgeable and a true healer. Her class is always packed for a reason. The studio itself has a very small little gift shop area with great products (Ivy candles, affordable yoga mats), and a nice atmosphere. They have good smelling handcream in the bathroom. Overall a wonderful experience ever time I go here.

Very cool vibes… I took a class for $ 5 on a Sunday and it was well worth it! Enjoyed some Hatha Yoga followed by some inspirational conversation orchestrated by the instructor. I was sore the next day but felt great!

The teachers make the teaching great. This yoga studio has a wonderful blend of yoga instructors. I like that they’re each unique enough — not corporate copycat clones — that they each bring something interesting and wonderful.
Over the last two decades, I’ve been able to enjoy yoga from many instructors and studios, and Yoga Vista is a keeper!
I particularly enjoy the sweet, thoughtful, guidance of Elena McKibben. I just finished her Kundalini Yoga workshop and liked that it was well-​researched, included handouts for home practice, that she carefully checked in with each of us, and that she taught it so sweetly. Really good stuff!
I recommend this studio for its choice of teachers.
It’s also good that it’s next door to the Yellow Deli, a one-​of-​a-​kind place (in a good way).

I LOVE this studio. Friendly, well trained, fun staff. Well priced. Good incentives & discount packages, and a great variety of class types. I was hoping to find a non-​heated studio after moving to San Marcos and I’m so happy I found Yoga Vista! Their schedule has a good variety of classes offered on evenings and weekends, which works well for me since I work Mon-​Fri. My first class was an «open» class with Vickie & she was awesome! I’ll definitely be practicing here regularly.

A great community to be part of!

Great facility, great instructors, great location. What more could you ask for?

I love this little gem. I have been taking yoga for over 10 years and I have recently moved to SoCal and I’m so happy to have found this place. What you can find here is a very down to earth, warm, caring place to practice and you won’t have to worry about setting side a huge hole in your budget to be able to afford to go to a studio. I have taken several of their classes and have been happy with all of the instructors and find the staff very friendly.

I drive 13 miles each way to get there after work, that is a testament to the greatness of YV. I have tried other studios and they just aren’t the same. There is a family feeling here and Sherry has put in a great effort to have all kinds of classes available for all levels of yoga practice. Please support our studio!

I surely recommend this place.

Great yoga studio. Good variety of classes for every level and age. Teachers very helpful and caring. Great workshops on the weekends. A very positive and spiritual environment. A positive place to be!

First! Located in the hear of downtown Vista, this place is wonderful! All the instructors are amazing and I have not encountered one instructor that I did not like. They have an amazing deal for new students which $ 30 for 30 days and you can go as much as you want for the entire month. Every class is different too as all of the instructors bring their own creativity to the class.
