I have been going here for a couple of months now for West African Dance with Oumou. I absolutely enjoy the class. It is every Sunday from 11:15am-12:30pm. It is such an invigorating way to start the week. Not only is it a full body workout, but a stress release as you lose yourself to the rhythms and movements alongside the other friendly participants in the class! Overall, the aesthetics of Wastonville Yoga, Dance, and Healing Arts is very pleasant and inviting. There is tea and water provided after or before class and a beautiful, tranquil atrium next to the dance studio that is green and serene

The teachers here are so very kind and knowledgeable in many different areas, and the environment is one of the most welcoming I have experienced. If you are new to yoga and looking for a studio, this is the place to come to!

This place is really lovely and in many ways is special, they provide all props free of charge. They do special events and really provide a lot of services to the community that I'm thankful for. One unusual thing is that many of their classes are only 60 minutes and their prices are the same as other similarly sized studios in the county with 75 minute classes.

Impressive all around. Kudos to Phoenix for maintaining such a wonderful facility and I am especially grateful for Monica and her tailored approach to my one on one Yoga lessons. I am a Disabled Veteran of the armed forces with an SCI and I have to say that the level of experience Monica brings to the table is second to none. Looking forward to stepping up my game and participating in a group setting.

My favorite place on a Sunday morning...and Wednesday evening, sometimes on Saturdays and occasionally Friday. Amazing variety of styles and teaching methods. Feeling low energy? Go restorative. Feeling amped up? Strong vinyasa! All teachers teach to your level of practice with gentle and compassionate encouragement.

So excited to have this beautiful yoga studio in downtown Watsonville, directly across from the plaza. Easy access, street parking and a public parking structure (free) a few doors down. Exceptionally inviting studio, very clean, bright and airy. Main studio looks into a lovely atrium and with fountain. I highly recommend.

I have attended 4 classes so far and all of them have exceeded most yoga classes I have gone to at other studios. If you are a beginner this is the place to go. They offer many beginner classes and restorative classes. My favorite instructor is Monica, she is a sub but hopefully she will soon be a regular on their schedule. I also appreciate all the props they have--everything you need for any type of yoga and the atmosphere is serene and beautiful.

I'm alway's skeptical when I see all five star ratings, but I've now attend two classes and I am very impressed. This place brings just what we need to Watsonville. A quality business that will have a positive impact on our community. If you find yourself driving out of town for the service they offer. You owe it to yourself to give this place a try. Namaste
