This class is designed to instill a foundation of balance and sense of peace to your practice. We'll harmonize mind and body with a profound focus on breathwork, alignment, and stability. Cultivate a sense of focus and grounding as you are guided through poses that help improve posture, balance, and overall mental & physical health.
Our vision was to create a safe space in our hometown for all to congregate without judgement or ego. I (Steph) longed to be part of a community where I felt encouraged to be myself, to be vulnerable, and to foster meaningful relationships.
With little knowledge on how to build out a space, run a business, and grow a team Spark was born and has grown into a beautiful healing home where we unpack fear, celebrate who we are, and support each other's journey.We are forever learning & growing and feel so blessed to serve the county of San Luis Obispo.

Respecting all beings and journeys. Accepting and valuing one another's differences & boundaries fosters an honest environment and stronger relationships. Opening up to give and receive. Practicing empathy toward yourself and others. When we show up with compassion we liberate ourselves from an environment of gossip and judgement.

This yoga studio has been an absolute life saver for me. After a pandemic and falling out of a healthy work out routine , I was struggling the year of 2020, mentally and physically. Fortunately when Spark opened back up I was able to start with them again and it was so relieving coming back to such an amazing studio, with the best instructors and staff. I love all of them and am so blessed to be a part of the membership .

A LONG over due review of spark:
I was introduced to Spark shortly after my spouse passed away. This place quickly became therapy for me. I started off with Hatha classes with Victoria. She is gentle, calming and her classes provide physical and mental peace. After a month or so I began vinyasa and sculpt classes. They are intense in the absolute best way. Steph, the owner truly cares about her students & their personal practice. She is always bubbly and smiling. If you need a space to not only workout but shed off the days stress this is the perfect place for that. I unfortunately do not live

Really loving the on demand classes. I always wanted to try this studio but had trouble fitting in it my schedule. The on demand classes have been the best thing ever! Such a great variety to choose from. Easy to access. Instruction that is easy to follow. Challenging and a really good workout for me. I have been enjoying Sculpt and HIIT Pilates. I did a boot camp class that was also good and just noticed that there are some shorter workouts that I would like to try. I really hope that Spark keeps the on demand classes as an option when things get back to normal so that those of us that have trouble

My sister introduced me to Spark while home from Cal Poly during the shelter-in-place. I'm 26 and hadn't been in shape for 5 years, having not found a program I could stick with alongside my school/work schedule. I fell in love with Spark's online on-demand classes! I take class 5-6 days a week (usually sculpt, power flow, or Spark flow) and when they started charging for on-demand membership, I bought a subscription right away ($20/month or $200/year, an amazing deal).
They also have great core & cardio, barre, gentle flow, and arm-balance tutorial classes (for those of us

If you are a pro at yoga who likes hot classes, slammed into a room full of people, this is the place for you! I have tried so hard to like Spark and have used their newbie special as well as several free offerings, but I just get a bad feeling from it. I have done yoga for many years, yet I still find myself feeling like the classes aren't relatable and seem a little pretentious. They let SO many people into their classes, so you are body to body with a bunch of people, with no opportunity for personal space. Despite the relaxation of the classes, it gets super claustrophobic. Lastly, it

Such a fantastic studio! So clean and spacious and gorgeous. Such friendly staff and wonderful teachers too! I don’t live in SLO, but I visit my family there from time to time and I always say that Spark is my studio away from home. I teach at a heated studio in LA and am so grateful for Spark’s heated classes and knowledgeable teachers.

I was introduced to Spark Back in November 2018, and I have attended a class everyday sometimes 2 since then. Front desk staff always has a great attitude and are very welcoming. Instructors are AMAZING!! they have a great attitude/energy all the time and, Some classes start off talking about what your intentions are, and what you want to gain out of your practice. It's refreshing and nice to think about during your practice. Sculpt class/Pilates are GREAT,AMAZING, and MAKE YOU WORK!! needless to say I love spark and happy I found a great gem.

Overall very unhappy with this place. I had communication with the owner after a feedback request because I couldn't reach them after several calls (voicemail full), an email on yelp, and an email online, of which no messages were returned.
Finally went in to speak with them and scheduled an intro class. I wasn't fond of instructor who fancies throwing big technical terms around instead of being relatable like many other instructors I've had. Gave all this feedback to owner and decided against a yelp review until I gave them another chance.
Second chance = purchased newbie special

I have attended their free community flow yoga that is held at 10:30am every Sunday. This class is extremely popular (duh it's free) so advanced booking is definitely recommended on the MINDBODY app. I have tried to book into the class on Thursday evening before and have found it full. I am not kidding people, book early!
The class is enjoyable every time I go. Since it is a large class, there is less one on one attention from the instructor but that's expected. The room is heated so you are sure to work up a great sweat.
Overall the studio is homey and clean. I would definitely recommend

I love this place. Staff is friendly, classes are challenging but fun. I convinced my close-minded fiancé to come to some classes and he loves it too. I'm trying to convince my whole family to come as I know they'd all like it. Your first class is free, and they have a $30 for 30 days as a new member when you sign up. Honestly, this is the first Yoga studio I've ever gone to and they kickstarted my passion for yoga. Amazing.

Best yoga selection in SLO! I signed up for the 30 days for $30 and then became a member for unlimited for 3 months with one of their plans. It is a great location with a variety of different instructors that can fit your specific personality. They also offer Pilates, barre, sculpt, and many more classes that target all different types of exercise. Come ONE come ALL!

KJ is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares about folks in her class. Her Live Music class in particular is unique and fun. It's drawn me back into yoga and I'm enjoying trying other classes now too.As a whole I also love the iced lavender towels at the end of every session. The people at the counter as well as the other instructors I've met seem very friendly and open too.

This is a great studio.
Clean, great atmosphere, excellent classes, competant instructors.
The instructors are all nice and it is truly evident how vested they are in making your time in their class worthwhile. They truly enjoy what they do and each brings their unique style to the mat.
I have taken a variety of classes here including; yoga, barre, pilates and sculp, and all have exceeded my expectations.
I look forward to my "time away" when I am at Spark!

Amazing yoga studio! Perfect customer service, very positive energy from both the employees and the other members, cleanliness and quality of the studio is great, and the pricing for membership is very reasonable. I always leave feeling amazing after each class. The instructors are great, very supportive of members who are new to yoga, and always willing to answer questions. Would highly recommend!

I've been to many studios and there are those that you go to once and have a nice experience, but then you find a studio that you feel the good vibes of the space and want to keep coming back. Spark Yoga is that studio. It's very warm and inviting. The teachers have very informative ques and insert hints of poetic script to their practice. Everything flows really well. Also everyone is so sweet. I will definitely be coming back to this studio in the future.

Wanna go back!!!! I have been taken Barre classes there more than one year. Sadly I just moved down to LA, which is to San Bernardino. There are very few yoga classes, especially barre class here. I took one barre class in the new place called Vasa and was so disappointed with their class. It can't compare with the instructors' teaching and practices we do in Spark at all. I really doubt what we do in Vasa is called barre class, excuse me??!! Although the new place costs only $40/month, I would rather to pay more than double without hesitation to come back for Spark because Spark worths

Convenient and friendly hot yoga studio! I always love a challenging fitness class and Spark works my body in a good way, every time! I love the variety of classes and instructors, all with their unique vibe added to the class. I feel a total shift in the overall wellness of my body and mind when I make Spark classes a priority in my week. I have become less sore, more flexible and more in tune with my body and mind’s needs through attending classes for over a year at Spark. I always find hot classes whenever I travel and I have to say that Spark instructors and employees have made the environment
