About Us

OUR STORY

Spirit originally opened in 2012 as a donation-based studio to serve the community. Over the many years that followed, it evolved with different ownership.

On March 1st, 2020, we purchased Spirit Yoga, excited by the warm community feel that it offered. Although COVID shifted operations for at least the next year, eventually the world slowly made a return to “normalcy.”

In May of 2021, we opened Spirit Barre in the studio directly adjacent to Spirit Yoga, wanting to offer multiple modalities of movement to clients and knowing that yoga & barre could be complementary practices for a complete fitness program.

Spirit now offers a diverse array of classes, accessible to anyone regardless of their fitness level. In addition, we are proud of our warm & welcoming community, where friendships are built daily.
We also love to give back and as lifelong animal advocates, created our Animal Rescue Yoga workshops to enable homeless pets to meet potential adoptors, provide a fun & heartwarming experience for clients, enabling us to donate aportion of proceeds back to our partnering animal rescue organizations.

We love the Spirit family and are committed to continuing to provide engaging, accessible, and safe classes as we strive to grow our wellness community. Thank you for your support. We are grateful every day.

OUR BEAUTIFUL YOGA STUDIO

At Spirit, we believe that the surrounding environment affects a person’s ability to practice. Therefore, we have designed one of the most beautiful yoga studio spaces around.

From the moment you enter our lobby, you will see lots of natural wood, natural light, plenty of seating and storage space, and a beautiful hand painted image representing our logo. Inspirational quotes are on the walls. Allow the rich woods & earth tones to ground & center you.

GREAT TEACHERS. STRONG COMMUNITY. FAIR PRICE.

WHY DO WE PRACTICE YOGA?

It is our belief that yoga can dramatically improve each individual on the planet. Yoga makes you strong, calmer, and more conscious of everything around you. And if each person follows this path, it is only a matter of time before the world gets on board. First, a person must help themselves. Then they can support their family. From there they can help their community, and continue growing outward. By elevating a person’s mind, body, and spirit, we believe that eventually the entire planet will follow suit. We are just doing our small part. Come join San Diego’s best yoga community and see where the journey takes you…

THE YOGA JOURNEY

Everyone follows a different path. Walking into a studio where everyone knows your name, cares about you, and helps you develop is our way of supporting your journey. Part of our mission is to cultivate that sense of community at Spirit. Come chat with us before a class, ask questions, and say hello to your neighbors. We are all in this together!

FINDING BALANCE

The purpose of Yoga is to enhance the union between mind, breath, and body. In turn, this leads to a greater sense of peace, health, and happiness. At Spirit, there is a balance in our classes. Each class has its own level of physical, mental, and spiritual practices. Therefore, we can meet different students at different levels in their practice. We believe this process will not only help our students but help the communities in which they live and interact.
