I have been going to this studio off and on since I moved to SLO a few years ago and its stayed one of my favorites. It is clean, beautiful (the inside space is so lovely and ideal for practice with its high ceilings and big windows with a gorgeous view!) and welcoming. I have also done a few virtual offerings and those have been equally good. All of the instructors are wonderful, some teach at other studios in town so its nice to see familiar faces!

The Center SLO is a great studio; Lots of different types of yoga styles/levels. There are two different studio rooms. One sometimes has a bit of heat with infrared panels which I love. Multiple showers; outdoor shower on the deck is great! All the teachers who have taught have been great and are open to questions and offer different options. The owners and employees are very kind.

SLO Yoga Center is the best yoga studio in San Luis Obispo. Im not 100% certain but I am pretty sure it is the ONLY yoga studio that uses infrared panels to heat the room!! Infrared heated is the absolute best because it is a cleaner heat and it is beneficial for your muscles and skin. Compared to other heated rooms that suck out the moisture.The instructors are amazing! Brooke Ludington leads an amazing flow in her unheated Center Flow class, itll make you drip sweat!

I was eager to find a yoga center that would host classes in-person, but responsibly as many across the county, including myself, were becoming vaccinated. The Center has adjusted their practice to coincide with health guidelines as they change, being thoughtful about sanitizing community props.I personally have enjoyed both Yin and Restorative yoga classes there. I have always had plenty of space, the rooms are large with open windows and ventilation. I see a variety of ages and abilities in clientele so I dont worry about feeling out of place. I feel welcomed by the front desk and the instructor every time.

I love the Center SLO! All of the instructors are so welcoming and friendly. Im a newbie to yoga and I feel so comfortable in the studio already. I highly recommend the gentle and slow flow classes. I always come out feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The yoga teachers and courses at The Center are all very good. Make sure to take ALL the courses offered regardless of your experience or abilities. Dont let your self-doubt or ego be a roadblock to taking the advanced classes. The teachers are patient and provide specific assistance during class if you need it. It is also a fun place to network and make new friends too. Take the unlimited option and just hang out and build yourself up to taking one class after another. I recommend this place to anyone new or experienced with yoga.

The Center SLO is my refuge. I genuinely look forward to attending class, the instructors are helpful and authentic, and the physical challenge is rewarding. Ive become addicted. I dreaded the gym. I dont dread yoga at all - I enjoy it, and I sweat more and I can now fit in a 12x12 box and be shipped to China on a moments notice. Not really but maybe one day.Also, a personal shout out to Jevon for opening the door to yoga to my daughter, Olive, and her first yoga class. THANK YOU JEVON.

The Center is a warm, welcoming place (the location is good too - very central!). The classes suit every person and mood. The classes are small though (maybe because of covid?) so booking way in advance is recommended. However, there is (almost) always the option of doing the class virtually.

Amazing teachers, facility, and a sense of community! Doesnt get better than this place. They have so many options throughout the week it makes it very easy to hit a class before/after work or on the weekend. The instructors do a great job of switching things up so reoccurring classes stay fresh and focus on different areas of the body!

The Center is wonderful! From the staff, to the teachers, to the gorgeous studios. Whether you are looking for a gentle flow, or a kick butt, sweat you’re face off class, they have it all. It’s been fun watching them evolve over the years to include more class and shopping options. Love you SLO Center!

I (used to) know next to nothing about yoga. Ive been going to the Friday noon heated class with the boss and THE BOSS Andrew Stackhouse at the helm. Its great, I sweat my butt off and am slowly getting better at the poses. The class is super encouraging and Ive always felt comfortable!

Review №33

I love this studio, the owners and the entire staff are so welcoming and kind. They have a wide variety of classes from barre, to sculpt and all levels of yoga classes. They are an asset to the community, and routinely offer donation based classes on holidays. I cannot say enough positive things about Slo yoga center. The only drawback is that I can’t attend more classes as I work retail hours and can really only visit the studio on my days off. Andrew is great, he’s warm and friendly and this is a great place to grow your practice. Thank you so much, and I’m so happy the studio is back open for in person classes. You guys rock!

Review №34

I just realized that the downtown location has 3 separate rooms! Barre downstairs and heated yoga up on the 3rd floor. And not only that, the heat is infrared! I have been wanting a yoga studio to have this here in SLO…. I had no idea we did! It’s the best! You get warm and break a sweat, but not in that steamy oppressive heat kind of way— It allows you to create heat in your body without feeling like the room is hot. 🤯 Thank you SLO yoga center for bringin’ the (infrared) heat!

Always enjoy the classes. All of the instructors try and give options so everyone, regardless of limitations can do the best they can. It is not just yoga. The HIIT and Sculpt classes are fantastic workouts that concentrate on core strength. The only hiccup was a difficult web-site software transition, but the owners tried their very best to make it right.

After trying several of the yoga studios and gyms offering yoga in town, Ive found I really love SLO Yoga Center! I love how many classes they offer so you can always get some variety of instructors and class styles. Its also awesome that they have two locations for the convenience and variety. I appreciate their dedication to the local community, offering free community classes, special events, fundraisers for nonprofits and good causes, contests and giveaways, and more! Instructors have all been wonderful. Online scheduling is super easy and convenient. And every time Ive needed assistance with something (membership or other questions), Ive received quick and helpful customer service both by email and phone.

Wonderful yoga community at SLOYC. About a year ago I wanted to start practicing yoga on a regular basis, they offered a great 3 month intro deal and I was hooked. Classes always full but not overly packed, such great energy when taking class alongside other avid yogis. Nice to have classes offered 6am - 7pm to fit in my schedule and a wide variety of classes. Aerial has been a fun new one for me!

Began my yoga practice a few months after moving to San Luis Obispo two years ago at a downtown studio that closed towards the end of 2019. At that time SLO Yoga Center graciously offered me an opportunity to join their community, which Ive happily been a member of for half a year now! Ive especially appreciated SLO Yoga Centers effort to maintain as much sense of community as possible during 2020s pandemic with online classes. I very much look forward to a time when we can all come together live in person at their two lovely studios, but until then their daily online classes have helped me maintain my sense of balance in the world. Namaste!

As soon as I walked into the building, I felt welcomed. The front desk staff member warmly explained the layout of the space and showed me where the class would be held. As I was one of the first to arrive, I got to witness the teacher, Leslie, interacting with her community of students. I loved hearing them all catch up before class and have wonderful and brief spiritual conversations. Leslies class was the perfect mix of spiritual and physical. I felt that I had a work out, and also left feeling uplifted and inspired. I was just passing through the town although I would have loved to take more classes at the studio!

SLO Yoga Center continues to offer a wide variety of classes and times. If you miss a class,,,no problem. There are plenty to choose from. I have been attending SLO Yoga Center for over 3 years now.

If you would like to feel better and see positive changes both mentally and physically, give SLO Yoga Center a try.

I was traveling through SLO for a couple of days and found SLO Yoga Center online. I took Terrys Yin Yoga class. First time here, and first time doing Yin. Absolutely loved my experience here. Stephanie at the front desk was very warm, welcoming, and helpful. Terry is one of the best yoga teachers Ive ever had (Ive been doing different types of yoga for about 20 years). His gentle, yet clear approach made it easy to follow and focused my practice in a very deep way. Great modifications and attention to detail. Really good vibes in this studio. Keep up the great work! If Im ever back through SLO, I will definitely be back!

I love this place! I am an older, intermediate student, and I have taken classes from nearly every teacher. Each teacher has something unique and wonderful to offer.

Review №85

Originally at the railroad tracks, now in two locations. Vinyasa flows and such that were all familiar with. Taught here years ago, yoga can only carry you so much and sometimes you fall in life, change courses, wax and wane and make foolish mistakes however the intention of the studio owners is intense and the teachers here are profound. At one point I was unhappy with where I was at and they offered to rent me the space above the studio. Highly recommend the restorative aerials as kind of a new age iyengar yoga and also recommend niccolas classes if you want to move your practice along. Listen carefully to what the teachers say and push your edge in all directions.

I have taken many of Ellie’s aerial yoga classes at The Center SLO. They are my favorite! Everyone that works there is very kind. Matt greets me by name every time I check in. Ellie is a wonderful instructor!! She’s super friendly and nice. She does a great job with demonstrating and providing several variations or modifications for us to choose from. She is quick to notice and assist you if your form/pose is incorrect, and always there to spot you when she sees you need help or you think “you’re ready” to do that new trick. Her classes are really fun and also a nice challenge, which is why I keep coming back!
