My study of the mind, body, and spirit began as a dancer growing up in Nebraska! I fell in love with the art of movement as a young child and after high school, moved to Santa Barbara to continue my training in Ballet, Contemporary, and Hip-Hop. It was in Santa Barbara where my love for Yoga all started.

I have been to many yoga studios and teachers over the years. Now that I discovered evolve - I feel like I'm home. It's feels like my home studio. I live in Colorado now and rely on their virtual yoga classes for my yoga fix. Anna and Chris and the entire team are incredible people. They do a phenomenal job at lifting everyone around them up. I've never felt more love in a yoga studio. It's no coincidence that the name of the studio is Evolve. I can't tell you enough how much this little studio in the heart of Encinitas has propelled my growth, my silliness, and strength

Came here here for a free class with my cousin. Apparently if you have a membership here you can bring a guest for free to a class each week! That's pretty awesome.

The class I came to was a tootsie roll yoga class. It starts off with some regular yoga and then it turns into an intense foam rolling session. After just getting off a plane, this was a necessary class. The instructor, Anna, really gets you to roll into all your hard to reach places. I've used the foam roller at the gym by myself, but nothing like this. Afterwards, I felt like 1. I actually did a workout and 2. that my

This is the best yoga studio- hands down! I go most days of the week but never get sick of the classes. They're challenging, building strength and confidence but you also leave extremely grounded. I thought I was over yoga until I found Evolve. Anna and Chris are the best!

This place is amazing! Found Evolve Yoga through Class Pass while I was trying out studios around San Diego county after moving here. After a couple of classes I decided to make this studio my yoga/fitness home. Fitness and I have had a shaky relationship since I stopped conditioning for school sports. I took a few years off and got very acquainted with my couch because I am guilty of not enjoying traditional work outs. However, I truly enjoy going to this studio every time. I always feel challenged here and at the same time just where I need to be all while just having fun with everyone. Anna

I'm trying different studios around Encinitas and I'm sad to say this wasn't one of my favorite. Let me frame that first saying I'm intermediate level and sort of a newcomer to hot yoga (although this was not my first class). First of all we were delayed due the previous class not finishing on time. The front desk person was lovely and apologetic about the delay. Bathroom and cubbies in this studio are on the other side of the yoga room, meaning you can't reach it while there's another class going on. This meant it took another 5-10 minutes to get the class going.

I love the workout here, but this studio lacks hygiene. The floor is always slick with sweat (before a new class even begins)! I'd recommend they build in more time between classes to clean up. I feel dirty leaving here. The instructors are great (although i never saw anyone get an adjustment). Location is prime. Music is on point. I have pushed myself too hard the last couple times I've gone. I appreciate a motivating instructor, but I need to learn my edge.

Ana's Sunday morning class is the best yoga class I've ever had in my life. Her positive energy and the music is a transformative experience and my weeks are always better when I get to start them with this yoga class. I also love the 10:30 DJ Sculpt class taught by Ana and Chris. Each time I've done that class, I've left completely energized and then sore for the next 4 days -- seriously the best work out I've ever had! The music is incredible and this place is just good for the soul.

Evolve is a hidden gem in Encinitas. Owned by 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet, I've not only improved my yoga practice but made lifelong friends here! Anna's knowledge and passion for yoga shines. Chris' sculpt class is just insane. I also love the fact they have kombucha on tap for purchase for after a hot yoga workout! So refreshing!

I really like this studio. I have to admit I went like a year ago to a hot class and thought I was going to pass out so I hadn't returned. But I love Anna. She is so sweet. When I recently returned for a class The Prana Surf Class with Lena she remembered me and was so kind, came over and said hello. I liked Lena's class also. It was a fairly easy class, only warm due to the prior class. She made it go by pretty quickly, was kind, showed some poses and helped if you needed it. My favorite part was the essential oils, she comes around puts a cold cloth on your eyes that has essential oils

Hands down the best yoga studio I've ever been too. The instructors are fantastic and there is a really sense of community here. If I could give Anna and Evolve six stars, I would!

Stopped in this weekend to try the Prana Surf Essential Oils class with some friends on ClassPass. We were all excited to try a new studio, since one of my friends lives right up the street. The place is tucked into a little shopping center with tons of parking below. You can tell it is more of a hippie vibe than other studios I've been to (the teacher started class talking about the rooms aura). I would have liked a bit more hands on adjustments and a bit less chatting.

The into email suggested walking, biking or carpooling and gave a free towel for class if you did so. I thought that was

If you're anywhere close to this place and you don't check it out you're doing yourself a disservice. I consider myself a pretty fit fellow... an athlete even. I took the sculpt class today with Anna Spalding and it was incredible. Extremely challenging but doable for anyone, regardless of fitness level because although she pushes you, she gives options and makes everyone feel comfortable. I can't remember the last time I sweated so much and got so much out of a workout. Thank you evolve yoga and movement and thank you Anna!!! I'll be sure to try other classes soon.

I'm in love with this studio! So far I have only taken two classes (Ashley and Brittanee - Basic Yoga Beats) and they were two of the best yoga classes I have had in a long time. The studio is super welcoming and super healing. During class I was thinking this studio should be called renew because of how I felt after each class. Evolve works too, hopefully I see some evolution as my practice grows. They also have sculpt and hip hop classes, and a live DJ on Sunday morning which sounds amazing!

I took a trial week with Evolve Yoga Studio at Encinitas. I tried different classes, like EVO sculpt, evoLve yoga, Prana surf and Hip Yoga Hope. It's definitely a fusion mix of yoga, dance and fitness, all of this it gives motivation to work out, lots of fun, and body is getting fit and shaped really fast. I liked a lot the warm temperature during the classes it helped my muscles to be more flexible. I like the positive and friendly atmosphere there. I had an amazing chart with Anna, she is founder and one of the teachers. I had classes with Anna, Denise, Chris, Meg and Zaquia. All teachers

The owners, instructors, and students are all so welcoming! The music is awesome too.

I have the lower back of an 80 year old man, and I finally decided that I needed to try something to strengthen my core and improve my flexibility because I kept pushing a bit too far with weights and then I'd be sidelined for 2 weeks while my back recovered.

I've been hesitant about pursuing yoga because I'm not really looking for my chakras (whatever that might mean), and I didn't want to be forced to find them. They do not force anything on you, and they let you do your thing as far

Recently attended the EVO Boot Camp sculpt with Anna and live DJ. It was my first time at the studio, and I was given a heartfelt friendly greeting by the owner Anna. She remembered my name to the end of the class, and seemed to know everybody's names. Remarkable!
The class was fun and lived up to the name Boot Camp and sculpt. There were plenty of planks and Burpee's, but also Pilates inspired core exercises, with the added challenge of weights and yoga blocks. The DJ added a great mood and motivation to the class.
The best part of the class, was Annas unending energy, her queuing,

I absolutely love Anna Spalding. I have been following her from studio to studio for many years. I'm absolutely thrilled she found in her permanent home in Encinitas. The reason I love her and Evolve is each class is different-you never get bored. The music is amazing and the teachers are always inspirational-never judgmental on what your level is. You do as much or as little as your body allows. Try this comfy cozy yoga studio and you too will start to call it home or hOHHm as Anna calls it! ;-)

Love this place, the instructors truly care about their clients and offer a great work out for the mind and body. If you really want to challenge yourself try the sculpting yoga class on Sunday.

I love this studio. It just opened in the neighborhood and has livened up the yoga scene already. Every teacher I've taken from is unique and talented. They are very knowledgeable about the body and movement.

If you want a high energy class that will kick your butt try Annas evoX with the live dj every Sunday. Or Riley's class on Saturdays. I also love Patti cooks yoga class on Tuesdays!

I also love the kombucha and cold coffee on tap!
