Fantastic studio! I am new to yoga classes (though I have practiced at home for a few months) and I was a bit intimidated to go to studio, let alone one where all the classes are 90 minutes, but Yoga Shakti is better than I could have dreamed. Lots of classes throughout the day, several different levels and styles (including yin!), and both the Irvine and Huntington Beach locations are wonderful. Everyone is very chill, too: The classes are filled with diverse folks, and there's none of the competitive or judgmental vibe I've heard about in some more trendy aerobic-based classes. Since I purchased a month of unlimited classes three weeks ago, I've gone to a class six days a week, tried five different teachers and never had a less than stellar experience. Teachers are especially helpful with adjustments and creating a welcoming atmosphere where you can feel safe and also comfortable going at your own pace when necessary. The initial month of unlimited classes is a bargain at $49 for new members, but I plan to continue on for as long as I live in Irvine, because even at full price it seems like an incredible value for the money & a wonderful place to build a strong, supportive yoga practice.
