Thank you for 18 OMazing years!

We are so grateful to all of you outstanding teachers, students and friends. We hope to continue to share the joys and benefits of yoga together for many more years to come! Thank you, thank you! We feel so grateful.
Namaste, Michael & Amy

Thank you to all of our students, now and throughout the years, for your presence and help in building this vibrant and diverse community called the Yoga One family. Thank you, thank you to everyone who contributed to this video and the following testimonials.

I wish the Yoga One family an amazing 18^th birthday – so thankful for the great instructors, the empathy they show and the calm they bring to our harried lives, especially these days! – Sandeep A.

Congratulations on 18 years! Yoga One teachers and community have pretty much saved me. I was going through an extremely difficult time in my personal life and their classes kept me sane. I appreciate them working so hard to make the online classes work. I am looking forward to the Mission Hills studio opening and seeing everyone in person again. – Emily W.

Happy Birthday to Yoga One! While I’m fairly new to the studio, it’s no surprise that Amy and Michael have been so successful. Their love of the practice and genuine interest in fostering student and instructor well-being shines throughout every aspect of the experience (even in Zoom). I have practiced yoga off and on throughout studios across the country and this is the first time I’ve felt like I found “the one”. Special shout out to Missy and all of the instructors that make Yoga One so fantastic 🙂 Thanks for all that you do and looking forward to Mission Hills opening soon! – Kelly B.

Hi there!

Whether it’s your first time visiting our site or your hundredth, thank you. You, our readers, infuse our effort, words and messages we promote each week with greater purpose and meaning. If you haven’t already, please sign up to follow our blog and like us on Facebook.

Yoga One Blog has come such a long way from its humble beginnings back in October of 2011. The original vision for the blog was to provide a place for Yoga One students to receive information about the studio and participate in a wider discussion about yoga and wellness.

We’re expanding our scope this year to include a more diverse and engaging community of yogis and wellness experts, all of whom care about fostering greater happiness and well-being for individuals and the global community.

Here’s a roundup of the biggest changes in the past year:

• We’ve continued to bring you incredible stories of personal transformation through yoga like Kim’s struggle to overcome a diagnosis of paralysis and Laurie’s inspiring goal of running a marathon in all 50 states!
• Music + Art has expanded to include instructor playlists so you can recapture that yoga mood at home and bookmark your favorite song. We’re working to update old posts with an embedded Spotify playlist so you can listen right from our page, stay tuned!
• Massage + Acupuncture is brand new to the site and complements our vision of expanding into all areas of wellness. We’ll feature interviews with therapists and clients, tips on how to get the most out of your experience and more.

Like a real two year old, we’ll experience both growing pains and big growth spurts this next year and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Finally, it wouldn’t be a birthday party without a celebration and presents – we’ll be hosting a Wellness Block Party at Yoga One in San Diego, CA on November 9th at 7pm, please say you’ll come! And for all of our geographically far-flung friends, we’ll be hosting an online giveaway – check back next week for details!

Peace, Love & Light,

Laura and All of Us at Yoga One
