Located in Seaside on the Monterey border, near highway one. Elektren is an indoor/outoor multi-use space that has a Santa Monica vibe. Elektren Studio is thoughtfully designed. When indoors, most days the bay doors are open creating a large breezeway. On chilly days, we use an ultraviolet air purification system drawing in a continuous stream of purified ocean air.
We invite you to make a reservation through our MindBody Schedule portal. We always do our best to accommodate but cannot guarantee space availability for busier classes. When there are spaces available, it is on a first come, first serve basis. If you make an online reservation but cannot make it, we ask that you contact us via email or text us prior to class or your account will be charged a regular class drop-in rate.

The cutest little studio. I took a class by Taira such a beautiful class definitely challenging for my balance. It was so much of what I needed. I was just In town to scout the area for a clinical internship and I contacted Kelli who's the owner.... such a personable interaction! I was having trouble finding the pacific grove location and I was still able to join. This class made my day in such a crazy time we are living in. They provide classes in Sunday's which some studios don't. I'm so grateful for this studio and their classes, I highly recommend it.

I've taken two classes with Rebekah so far, and I have loved both of them! I was realllly nervous for my first couple of classes (I have some injuries and stiffness issues), but Rebekah took the time to come talk with me before the class, and to check in with me afterwards to make sure I felt comfortable! Everyone is SUPER humble, non-judgmental, and incredibly nice here. I would suggest this place to anyone looking to start their yoga practice in a comforting, judgement-free yoga studio!

I took a class with Kelli recently and it was amazing. It had been a while since I had taken a yoga class, but I felt welcomed when I arrived and the studio space is really nice. Kelli was great at helping everyone at whatever level they were at. I enjoyed the class, and at the end during the meditation, I loved the cold, scented towel that was provided. I will definitely return to Union Yoga for another class.

Union Yoga is an amazing studio, scheduling a session is a breeze on the mind body app, classes are offered from early in the morning to later in the day, making it simple to attend more than one class a day. Kelli created a space that allowed me to receive acceptance in the early stages of my practice, along with each staff member being welcoming. For each session the instructors that taught were the best that could have been, seriously amazing individuals.

The most amazing studio, with the best teachers and community. Wouldn't change one bit about my experience at Union Yoga! Highly Recommend for anyone wanting to start yoga in a safe and support environment as well as someone who is looking to take their practice to the next level. The teachers are very skilled and will teach each person at whatever level they are at! This studio is one of few I've been to that focuses on the mind, body, and spirit as all necessary parts to evolving and growing in our practice

I am a yoga instructor up in the Silicon Valley and I visited Union yoga while on a weekend trip to Monterey. The classes I took at union are easily 2 of the best yoga classes I have ever had. The instructors were kind, intentional, and extremely knowledgeable. I loved every second of the classes I took. Also don't hesitate if you're a new yogi, the classes are super approachable and friendly for all!

I have been going to weekly classes at Union Yoga for 6 months now and I am constantly impressed with the level of skill, compassion and fun found at this studio. From the moment I walk through the doors, I feel welcomed, safe and cared for. I appreciate the modern, bright and clean space, and love the vibrant, diverse community of regulars and visitors I see every week. This feels to me like a place where new-comers and serious yogis all belong and thrive.
I arrived at Union with a knee injury so proper alignment and safety was my number one criteria in looking for a new yoga home. Kelli and

We visited Union Yoga while in town for the Big Sur Marathon, and we were immediately welcomed like old friends. Kelli is such a beautifully kind and generous spirit, and the studio reflects the thoughtful care she infused into it. The classes are a great range with something for everyone. If you're visiting, don't miss an opportunity to practice with this community!! We can't wait to come back.

I was so thankful to walk into union yoga for a morning class before a long day of travel. I was visiting from out of town, and Kelli (the owner) was so welcoming. The room is lovely and peaceful. The teacher (Hannah) was incredibly knowledgeable. She offered several modifications as we flowed through the class and provided helpful alignment cues to avoid injuring certain areas of the body and to build a sustainable practice. The class was the right amount of challenging, strengthening and stretching. At the end of class, we each received a cold lavender towel to use for shavasana. It was refreshing

What a great yoga studio staffed by excellent instructors. The pressure is off in this studio, no mirrors to judge yourself or compare yourself to others with, alternate poses offered, and the infrared is just perfect - about 80 degrees and the air you breathe is fresh. Knowing that I'm detoxing and getting positive brain chemicals going while I'm also doing yoga is such a win-win. Doing two GREAT things at once! I just scheduled my 4th class, I'm hooked!

Whenever I travel, I try to attend local yoga classes. Today brought my to Brett's Thursday 6:15 Vinyasa class at Union Yoga. I walked in and was greeted with a smile, which is always a good sign. The entrance and boutique area was a warm and welcoming space to wait while the previous class finished. On the shelves were rich books about deepening your practice, not the more commonly found trendy trinkets. The yoga room itself is absolutely lovely and inviting, and the temperature was perfect - warm enough to feel depth in the poses but not sloppy sweaty hot.

Trust me on this, you need this studio in your life! The atmosphere is bright and light, fresh and serene, and Kelli the owner (who is lovely and warm and welcoming!) has created a beautifully inviting space. The location is perfect, easy parking and lots of great eateries nearby. And did I mention chilled lavender infused towels? Come on, does it get any better than that?

I took my very first yoga class here at Union Yoga and I was instantly hooked. I do kickboxing 4 days a week and was looking for something that I could do to stretch my body more and calm my mind from my extremely stressful job in social work. Kelly and her staff always make me feel so welcome, asking about my life to try to get to know me so I feel even more welcome the next time. Being in the studio feels like a warm hug & the positive calming energy of the class is contagious. I highly recommend it to newbies and seasoned Yogis!

I was visiting Monterey and found Union Yoga on the Mindbody App. I was blown away by the beautiful space and warm welcome by the owner Kelli. I was touched by the consideration she gave to her students and attention to detail. My husband and I regularly visit Monterey for business and I am thrilled to have found a studio I can call my home away from home. Kelli took a great deal of time with me after class to answer questions and tell me all of the local places to explore. If you live in or are visiting the area, Union Yoga is definitely a place you want to visit!

I am totally new to yoga and was a bit uncomfortable at first that it wasn't such a "guy" thing to do. I was surprised that there were actually several other guys in class and the vibe was very welcoming and nonjudgmental about everybody having their own level of experience and ability. I've been taking Rob's Friday night yin class which is great for stretching and relieving my lower back tightness and occasional soreness. I've been to several classes now and it's always a cool and welcoming community feel. They even stock men's yoga clothes which was convenient when I needed comfortable stuff

I love Union Yoga. To me it feels like a breath of fresh air. I have been waiting and longing for a studio like Union Yoga for years. It's simple, yet sophisticated. Some of the best instructors in this area are teaching here. The sound system is excellent. I like how the heaters do not dry out my skin and eyes, but simply keep the room warm. And I love the owner. I feel welcomed here by everyone; owner, clients, and teachers.
