My 62 year old mother decided she wanted to start doing yoga, but was apprehensive about beginning. I researched yoga studios in Escondido and had previously heard good things about Sattva. We decided to go to the beginners class as neither have us have practiced yoga before and it was an awesome experience. We walked in and told Rached it was our first time and he walked us through the entire process. During the class he was constantly moving about the room and adjusting the students positions. I think Rached could tell my mom was nervous so he paid close attention to her during the class and

I reviewed several yoga places in town and decided to go to Sattva Fitness. I am glad I did! It is great, and they offer a variety of classes that you can take throughout the week. The instructors are fantastic, and the owner, Rached, is an authentic yogi. He is an amazing person too!
My favorite classes are power yoga with or without straps, and Hatha. I am still relatively new to the practice, and I am still learning the basics, but I have jumped right in as I am pretty athletic and have taken advanced classes. Regardless of your level, all of the instructors will work with you to make

This yoga studio is truely a gem. Rached is an amazing teacher and really took me to the next level in my yoga practice. His attention to detail and alignment is amazing. My favorite is his ashtanga class. My only regret is moving too far from Escondido, I haven't found another studio that compares!

My favorite place to do yoga. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The teachers are very knowledgeable and calm to be around. I'm becomming more aware of my posture from my feet up and realizing not only physical pains but emotional pains I've been hanging on to that no longer serve me. I can let go and it feels like home. Can't wait wait to wake daily and be here.

Absolutely my favorite yoga studio. Rached's approach to teaching is so wonderful. He is both patient and kind while making sure your alignment is good and pushing you a little farther so that you get the most out of your practice. I only wish it was closer to my home and business so I could go more often! Do yourself a favor and check out Sattva Fitness!

If you are seeking some of the most authentic and dedicated Ashtanga you will surely find it here. Rached has so much respect and knowledge to share with his students everyone will benefit from stepping foot in this studio. Classes offer an opportunity to deeply connect the mind and body as well as functionally supporting your health and fitness. Beginners or Ashtanga experts alike, this studio is the real deal.

I have been doing yoga all over for years. Starting at big gyms, and finally finding 'my' yoga studio (Sattva). I love it. It's personalized, the real deal, and the teachers are awesome. They know how to get their students to the next level in their yoga practice. I have come so far since I started about 2 months ago and I am currently doing a 30 day challenge which is really great. The fellow yoga classmates are friendly and supportive too. I will be going to this yoga studio for a long time!

I have been practicing at Sattva fitness for about six years now since it was in a teeny space in the Escondido athletic club. Rached is simply an amazing instructor, and practicing yoga over the years here has changed my life and my body in amazing ways. The rest of the teachers there are also very talented, patient and experienced. The studio is a social hub of North County too, and as it gets bigger it's fun to see so many people findidng yoga together! :)
The studio is large and clean, and has all the best equipment. It's nice that now there are kettle bell classes, yin yoga, restorative

I really like this place. I just recently started to go here, having never done yoga before, I wasn't really sure what to expect. But the instructors were very warm and welcoming, they would pay special attention to and help those who needed help during the class.
It feels like this place is not just good for the wellbeing of your body, but also mind. At the end of one of the classes, the instructor would read a short passage from a book for insipiration and healing. I totally enjoyed the whole experience and felt relaxed and lifted.
Everyone there is extremely friendly. Being that I was
