Aside from the exceptional knowledge and instructions that are given during class the main attraction in my personal opinion is the value that is provided through the daily interaction of each and every employee at this company. Both Katie and Megan have both provided me with exceptional service wisdom and guidance throughout my journey and not only my yoga lessons but throughout my personal life as well. If you are looking for a culture that provides more then any other basic experience then you and the mat is definitely the place to be. Value is not only in the form of a dollar amount. I would happily pay double the price because the experience is incomparable. Even through the covid-19 they continue to check on me an offer me encouraging words. I want to take this time to promote what these young ladies have done at this club and if there is any doubt in selecting this club over another... I hope that this message will Aid you in your decision. You and the mat you are the best! Namaste.
You and the Mat is very welcoming, classy & modern studio - the nicest in South Orange County. All instructors are highly trained in all phases of yoga which gives me the option of many classes to advance my yoga practice. The studios are very clean, all props (blocks, straps, etc. are always available. The studios are filled with natural light that helps energize my practice, or calm me, depending on the time of day. Parking is well lit and safe. I cant compliment enough how wonderful all the staff is. I have really enjoyed practicing at You and the Mat over the years.
This is one of the nicest yoga studios I’ve been to. Having tried a variety of classes they offer, it’s hard to choose a favorite. For instance, both Leah and Sonny’s Yoga for Flexibility classes are great. I always leave feeling so very invigorated! The Yoga for Healing covers a broad range of gently stimulating postures and for the first time ever, I thoroughly enjoyed the aroma therapy while in the class. Love this place!
You and the mat is my new happy place! Everyone is super kind and welcoming at this yoga studio. I love the fact that all of the yoga teachers are super knowledgeable and meet the students where they are at in their practice. The best place in South County. Thank you!
Love this place! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and caring. Super clean faculty and cozy. I love they offer tea as well. I bring my mom who I was nervous may not be able to do much but the trainers are so amazing they go out of their way to correct her positions and modify when she can’t do a move. That’s is way beyond what most yoga places do. I always leave feeling so sore... in a great way!!!! Definitely recommend this place!
I joined as a member because I wanted to make sure I was engaging in a yoga practice and community 3 times a week. The teachers are lovely, skilled and elevated in their techniques. I could push myself to be a better member of the community - but its great that its there and people know your name when you come to class, I even mad a friend!Its a beautiful facility with inspiring art work and clean accommodations. The decor and furnishings have a good feeling when you enter the space and the boutique has cute items. It has more of the small studio city feel that I am looking for while living in the suburbs!If you are considering joining a community or just doing a couple classes - this is a beautiful and safe place with great teachers and staff.
I am new to yoga so was a little intimidated but felt completely comfortable in the classes I have taken, The Discover Yoga class was a great introduction! I have some chronic injuries/pain and stress due to recent passing of my mother and layoff from job, so classes such as Restorative Yoga, Friday Chill and Yoga for Healing have been great choices for me. The studio is easy to get to, plenty of parking, classes have not been over crowded at all and the studio is clean with plenty of props available. The instructors are all knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. I can’t wait to try the Candlelight Yoga class!
I live in RSM but make the drive to You & the Mat cause it’s so great. Not only are the teachers amazing but the atmosphere and (dare I say) vibes are nothing but soothing. The staff is always very welcoming & accommodating. I’ve got nothing but great things to say. HIGHLY recommend this place.
I have really enjoyed my classes at You and the Mat! Its not easy finding a studio you can truly trust and feel like you are getting the most out of your practice. Its important to me to be in a clean, zen, and knowledgeable studio and this place checks all the of the above. Glad I found this place!
I love this yoga studio! It is affordable and offers so many different classes and times! The staff is amazing and the studio is kept very clean. I would def recommend this studio.
This is such a gem of a yoga studio. There is such a variety of classes that I haven’t taken before—including Yoga/reiki, meditation, yoga for flexibility and yoga for healing that I have loved taking and adding to my schedule. The instructors are very knowledgeable, welcoming and inspiring. So happy I found this place!
Nice, clean studios with excellent yoga teachers. Evening classes are very popular and there is something for everyone. A must try yoga oasis!
Great classes & especially awesome studio environment at You And The Mat Laguna! Knowledgeable and friendly (& funny!) teachers gently (& safely!) push you to your potential each class and offer a wide range of variations and modifications for all levels of experience. As an RYT & yogi for 20+ years & having practiced many places, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite studios in the world! Love this studio so much; can’t wait to visit for a class again soon! Thanks & Namaste
This yoga studio is amazing, very peaceful and clean. They offer a variety of classes and all of the instructors are wonderful. Staff friendly and helpful.Highly recommend!
The studio is relaxing and inviting and the instructors are skilled and walking through poses and meditations. I love the Candle light Yoga and Sound Bath and got a good stretch and work out from the Vinyasa Yoga and Reiki class is great! I felt like I had both an amazing workout and came out relaxed.
One of the more purely run yoga studios that I have been to, which acts generally as a hub for practitioners of daily life to submerge themselves in deep physical practice and leave feeling elevated and more content each day. Although I haven’t stayed long enough, I’ve enjoyed every teacher so far, each seemingly attempting to give and share the their most genuine yoga practice with the class. Very clean with friendly and composed staff. A great place to begin physical yoga practice, as it is calm, centering, and the classes do not stray from central forms of yoga. However, more yoga philosophy and even more classes offering traditional ashtanga would I believe appeal to students with even deeper dedication to learn.
I am completing my first month with You and the Mat and loving it. Love the availability of early morning class at 6:30am, varieties of classes in evenings/on weekends, and spaciousness of yoga rooms. I think Ive just found my yoga studio!
I adore You & the Mat! Everything from my outlook on life to my physical fitness has improved since most days find me in a class there. I love the teachers.
I had been searching for a new yoga studio in south Orange County. The competition is fierce as there are so many. However, when I found You and the Mat my search was over! Excellent, knowledgeable, professional instructors - NEVER a dull class. The schedule is loaded with choices to please any yogi. Every class I have attended always includes modifications to poses as well as additional challenges for those who so desire. The facilities are beautifully designed, very clean, bright (natural light - no fluorescents!), and spacious. There are plenty of props for all. The reception desk attendants are very friendly and helpful. And, as a bonus there is an abundance of parking! Love this studio!
Found You and the Mat on Groupon and thought I would give it a shot due to the proximity of the studio to my house. My first class was “yoga for flexibility” with Sonny, which was a epic class. Sonny teachers yoga in a way that people new to the practice can understand how to get into the correct poses and helps anyone in the room that is struggling to get the pose right. If you are new to the yoga scene I highly recommend checking out one of Sonny’s classes!
I found this studio when looking for a prenatal yoga class. The prenatal class is awesome! I love the teacher, she makes every class enjoyable, a workout, and great meditation for mommy and baby. I will be coming back even after the baby is born to continue classes here.
The staff here is great! I took a stretching class that was incredibly relaxing and the facility is very clean! I recommend this yoga studio for anyone. it is a great place to be.
I love this studio. They have such unique classes compared to a lot of other studios in the OC area. Most studios are focused on a good workout, whereas these classes focus more on technique and actually teaching the art of a good yoga practice. Recommend this place for anyone wanting to start their yoga practice with some great instructors!
I love you and the mat! My favorite instructor is Sonny. He’s got a good sense of humor and a good understanding of biomechanics. Check it out!
I like this yoga studio. Ive gone to a few different classes, and I liked the variety. I also like the two different rooms. Good vibes. Cool art on the wall. Nice and fun teachers.
Great studio! Very clean, zen, with great vibes. Instructors are extremely welcoming and give great, detailed instruction. Great for all levels, have definitely recommended to friends.
Such a magical place. I am just sad I waited so long to check out their prenatal yoga class- it was amazing! They were wonderful at the front desk and all instructors are knowledgeable. Studio is clean and serene. I have been back 3 times this week alone. Highly recommend.
Fabulous space, fresh, airy and modern.Fabulous instructors.It’s exactly what i was looking for, there are different levels that suits everyone.You will leave feeling fabulous.
The classes here are great! I haven’t had a single class I didn’t like. All the instructors are extremely knowledgable and provide a safe environment to do yoga in.
Ive attended a few yoga classes at this cozy yoga studio and have really enjoyed it. My favorite classes are the restorative classes as well as the candlelight yoga and sound bath. There are many different classes throughout the day, open 7 days a week. I cant wait to try more classes!
This is my first yoga experience. I bought a Groupon for a 10 pack, and have tried several different classes. I especially like the yoga for fitness, very challenging! The studio is clean, instructors are knowledgeable, couldn’t ask for more!
I love the vibe and how everybody is sweet and welcoming. They offer wide range of classes.I highly recommend this place.
Love this place, very clean, great instructors. Very friendly. Nice open space, I hate hot Yoga. This place is perfect. Lots of different level classes and caring instructors to help. Candlelight classes are so relaxing. I literally fell sleep in the candlelight and sound bath class. So awasome.
Ive been to a few different yoga studios and I have to say this is the best one Ive been too! I usually go on the weekends and the instructors are amazing. The main studio is large, with high ceilings and large windows making the room light and airy. I highly recommend it.
I love this studio. Great atmosphere, super clean, and very friendly and supportive fellow yogis. I love Josh and Sonnys classes. They front desk staff are super friendly and know yogis by their names.
I found this yoga studio to be very peaceful, positive and spiritual. They offer a variety of classes and all of the instructors are wonderful. They have sound baths, candlelight yoga and meditation classes which are truly special. I highly recommend this studio.
You & The Mat has two studios and various yoga classes (not bikram) as well as meditation classes and kundalini yoga as well. I’ve tried several classes and enjoyed some classes more than others so far. Detox yoga has been my favorite and Happy Hour yoga was relaxing and as challenging as I wanted it to be. The studios are clean and all their props were also clean and in good condition.
There is something here for people of all levels. Instructors show concern for older people like us (80 years old) and encourage us to do what we are comfortable doing. No drill Sargents here. I am improving rapidly
All of the instructors at You & the Mat have been of the highest quality. ️ They are mindful and respectful of the individuals that attend their classes that keeps me coming back to the studio
Gained some wonderful insight that will help me be a better teacher. Nicolette David knows her stuff. Beautiful space. Will take more workshops here in the future.
I recently completed the 30-day unlimited class deal for new students. I decided to try out this studio for their prenatal yoga classes. Aurora’s prenatal classes are fantastic! I highly recommend them. I plan to continue coming to this studio even after my pregnancy.
I have really enjoyed my experience at You and the Mat.It is a very professional environment and I appreciate the staff keeping the room clean and organized.The instructor’s have all been friendly and knowledgeable.The only reason for not a 5 star review is the lack of a restroom.
Friday Chill with Shilah is such a great way to transition into the weekend! She is lovely.
First visited with a Groupon - intend to buy full membership. Excellent facility, great instructors, quality props for use with each class and a varied schedule that allows me to try different classes. Lots of membership choices to cater to everyday users and occasional visitors.
Ive been going to their Pre-Natal Yoga for the past few weeks and loving it. Aurora is amazing and kind, and the class has really helped me gain some energy back in my pregnancy and help with aching back muscles. I intend to continuously go until my baby arrives!
Love this studio! Great rooms, loads of clean equipment, and friendly staff. I usually go to to the Yoga for Flexibility or the Lunch Flow classes. The teachers are wonderful! Keep doing what youre doing!
Classes are unique and there are plenty of times to choose from. Very nice relaxing atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful.Highly recommend!
I really enjoy some of the classes here . The rates are in line with the area. Both rooms are spacious and comfortable . Only a few things to consider 1) the classes are packed so if you prefer “space” for practice you may not enjoy the after work classes - perhaps stick with day classes 2) I’ve been to most studios in the area and in my opinion this place seems to draw folks rather familiar with yoga so for newbies it may be a tad intimidating but nothing to dissuade you . Just know that it seems a lot of folks that come here are interested in teaching so they are experienced 3) the restroom is located outside the studio .Good place to try if you live close by . I highly recommend the kundalini and restorative classes .
Excellent atmosphere, great selection of classes! I am a newbie, but is was so easy and comfortable to get started. Highly recommend the restorative classes, and a sound bath too!
I’ve loved every class i’ve taken here! instructors are passionate and helpful, and the experience has grown and strengthened my yoga journey.
I’ve been going to this studio for one year now and I’m obsessed! All of the instructors are amazing, and they have a class for every level. The studio itself is beautiful and always well kept. Highly recommend this studio!
Excellent yoga teachers and opportunities to expand my practice with sound healing meditation and ceremonies. The teachers check in before class to make sure they know if anyone has injuries or issues that the teacher can adjust the class to fulfill the needs of the students.
Im currently pregnant and taking pre natal classes at the studio. Absolutely love the space, atmosphere and energy at you and the mat! Everyone is so welcoming and loving! I’ll be returning after pregnancy for other classes for sure!:)
LOVE the studio. New to yoga and the staff are all so welcoming! Loving my Monday and Thursday night classes!!
I love this studio! Its very spacious, clean and with a nice design. I took restorative yoga and yoga for flexibility - both classes were amazing! Each instructor is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to approach
Having practiced yoga for 15 + years Ive experienced a wide variety of practices. Of course studio practices are always the best:) The icing on the cake is the ability of the instructor to correct and encourage proper alignment and then to take the student to the next level in their practice. I have found that practice at You and the Mat! Oh my being in Sonnys class is beyond refreshing! I had stagnated as I couldnt find a good fit for what I was looking for until a Groupon got me to You and the Mat! I was basically just going through the motions for yoga - without inspiration or challenge. Boring right! I love You and the Mat and specifically the instruction I have received in Sonnys class has created an excitement within me to press on in my practice. It is the BEST!!!
Love that a unique selection of classes is offered in this studio. Very refreshing to step into a place where you are not greeted with the mainstream yoga approach. Thank you !
I was searching for a new yoga studio and found You and the Mat on a Groupon so decided to try it. I am really enjoying my experience. The classes are true to yoga and I am really enjoying getting back into a true yoga practice. There is such a variety of classes to choose from, the atmosphere is fabulous, and it is a great deal. I will definitely be staying on with this studio.
Clean by inviting studio. Josh is my favorite instructor. Perfect mix of flow-getting your heart rate up, stretching and relaxation. Will be coming back as soon as I can.
The services was great.
Beautiful and calming studio, none of the pretense that often has turned me off at other yoga studios, welcoming and accepting with plenty of variance in their classes to meet the needs of clients of all levels, ages, and abilities.
I have been taking the prenatal yoga class with Aurora on Thurs nights and it has helped me so much throughout my pregnancy, one of the best teachers that is so educated and helps you through anything you may be dealing with, I am so thankful for this class & cant wait to do the others post-pregnancy!
I take Elissas classes on Weds. morning and they really kick my day off well and get me centered. A great class to relieve emotional and physical healing to your back and mind :)
Great yoga studio! The instructors here are really knowledgeable and the space is really inviting. I enjoy coming here a lot!
I am a beginner in Yoga and this Studio and the amazing instructors really helped me getting the flow going. I am enjoying every class.
Great classes. The instructors are also engaging and helpful, highly recommend:-)
Nice place - the sound bath is really awesome and the moon room is quite beautiful
Beautiful studio with great instructors. So glad I’m a member!
You and the Mat is my favorite place to take yoga classes. The candlelight yoga classes are great to unwind from the stresses of the week and still feel like you’ve done something good for your body.
I took classes with Sonny, Gian and Paulette here and they are all great!! Love this place.
Friendly staff, wonderful instructors, great experience. Highly recommend!
What could be better than a compelling, challenging, relaxing, and stimulating yoga class? If it takes place in an art gallery, of course! Talk about being inspired... This is a studio you will love for the diverse instructors, unique venue, easy-to-use phone app, and location across the street from Whole Foods. Ask about their newcomer specials.
I love You and the Mat! Shilah is an amazing yoga instructor and I love all of her classes.
You & the Mat is great. I really love their Yoga Detox and classes with Josh. Hes a fantastic yoga instructor.
Studio Member for almost 4 years. Yoga has made a huge healing change in my body, emotions, breathing, and parasympathetic nervous system. It’s the best because they have very knowledgable and qualified Yoga teachers. If you are recovering from injury or illness or Stress their healing and restorative classes and teachers are fantastic. I’ve seen and experienced amazing healing.
The instructors Are so professional and the staff is so friendly please stop by for a introduction to yoga.
Peaceful, strengthening and whole-self experience. Love my morning classes with Sonny!
Much better experience than yoga classes at usual fitness center. Nice location, skilled trainers, a lot of options for classes and time.
Lovely studio to practice yoga in. I love this place!
This studio is very clean and the decorations are very simple yet aesthetic. The teachers are all very kind, knowledgeable, fun, and inclusive. I have yet to have a bad experience at this studio. My favorite teacher so far has been Sonny. His classes tend to really test my body but his humor and lightheartedness make it bearable.Both my parents have been going to this studio for a bit now and to upgrade their membership to a family plan to include me (up to 5 ppl total) was only $30 more. That’s a price that cannot be best for this quality studio.My only request would be to have a early morning class on Tuesday/Thursday so that I could go before work on those days but that’s in no means a dealbreaker.
Love all the classes i have tried so far, Clean and professional environment
Yoga classes at You and the Mat are a retreat into a bright, spacious art gallery, with experienced teachers leading alignment-based classes to suit all levels. I couldnt be happier to call this studio my new yoga home!
Great place and staff, sessions for all levels in a nice environment.
Super great instructors and a really relaxing and recharging environment in the studios.
Every teacher of every class I have taken have recognized my limitationsand adjusted my posses with patience and kindness. I hope to make Yoga a lifelong practice.
I enjoy practice yoga at you and the mat
Every instructor is great and I love the variety of classes!
Great Instructors. Great class room and music
Best yoga experience!! Flexibility and Healing yoga were amazing!! Going back definitely!!
I love this place.
Great studio, clean, and personable.
