I've been coming here off and on for the last 15 years. Yoga was brand new to me when I started and from day one I have felt safe, protected, and well guided. I appreciate the judicious use of props and each instructor's dedication to meeting the needs of every individual student. Even when I can't make my usual classes I am at ease dropping in to other classes. I am encouraged to push myself, without ever being urged to go too far.

I spent hundreds of dollars on a 'gift certificate' as a surprise for my partner. After the birthday party, she was turned away because my hard earned money 'expired' after 30 days. It was a very humiliating experience on top of being robbed. Don't give these criminals your money or email address. They will spam you with offers relentlessly and have no shame.

I was pretty impressed with this place and happy to have found somewhere I can bring my baby and get a workout. My baby is a huge part of my life now and its not always easy trying to find someone to watch him while I work out. My workouts now days either consist of walking the baby in a stroller when its nice out, or getting in a quick workout video while he is playing or napping. I came here to attend the mom and baby yoga class and was very satisfied with the whole experience. It was my first time here and I found the parking lot nice and spacious as well as the whole ambiance of the studio

I chose High Desert Yoga for the prenatal classes, three weekly is more than any other studio I've found. For first time students you buy your first class $16 and get a second class free. After that you can buy discounted punch cards.
The studio is small, and the class was full. I agree with other reviewers, it got HOT! Hot and pregnancy don't mix well. Almost an hour into the class I was starting to feel nauseous and was going to leave, but one of my fellow students also spoke up and the teacher turned on the cooling system. Whew! (Next class I'm going to ask for the cooler

I came here for prenatal yoga. I got a package of 10 classes as you get a discount since the drop in rate is a bit high.
I have taken the class in Tuesday afternoon and in Saturday morning. Both of them are great.
I definitely recommend this studio. The room is big and though a bit warm still good. I just drank extra water which in the end is good for the baby.
Will continue attending for the duration of my pregnancy.
It's also a great place to meet other pregnant ladies :)

This place was very close to getting 5 stars! The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was a little too warm. The AC or swamp cooler was taking a long time to respond.
I went to a prenatal yoga class, which was awesome. They have tons of props to use to support growing bodies in many different poses. Avery the instructor was very helpful and had great modifications.
It is a little pricey. You can save some money by buying a package. Also they offer a student and teacher discount, which is awesome.

Was visiting my parents and wanted to get in a good yoga class. I am very partial to the classes I take in my area so of course was hesitant but have to say that Kim was amazing and really took the class to a whole new level for me. I loved his style and knowledge and appreciate him taking the time to work with the class and individuals on their practice. He was GREAT! I will definitely be back when I am in town. Thank you!
