Yoga in Pasadena

“Marlee helped me regulate my cycle to get pregnant naturally! No stone went unturned. Cupping, Accupuncture, Accupressure, Reiki, real deal Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs which I took home to drink every day to help encourage circulation to my hands and feet (which were often PURPLE before I started working with Marlee). Marlee's approach is a rare combination of scientific and intuitive. She's utterly professional while taking great care. Highly recommend.“

“Fabulous Hot Yoga class. Great teachers! Especially Hugh Palmer. The staff is always friendly and kind and the studio is clean. Woot!“

“I had a wonderful experience doing acupuncture with Iris. She gave me a while wellness assessment on my first visit with great suggestions for self care and a treatment plan, including how her office can help with acupuncture, massage, lymphatic drainage and abdominal massage. My first acupuncture session was excellent and she really listened to my many many issues and concerns before the treatment. I highly recommend her! The personal approach and whole-body attention is ideal for someone like me with stage 4 lung cancer and many associated ailments!!“

“Helping to work out some subtle issues that are causing big issues. Really appreciate the "nerve interference" and muscle testing approach as well as the Autonic Nervous System test, it opened my eyes to healing. So did his Kundalini class“

“Tara is the best instructor ever! Learn so much from her and got my yoga certificate here as well !“

“I just had my very first Pilates session with Jacquie, she is amazing and kind, and the environment was stunning. Very highly recommended. I already booked with her my second session, I'm going to be a regular.“

“I love this virtual yoga class! Mindy is an exceptional teacher, giving detailed instructions throughout each session. Her methods brought me a deep awareness of my body and have resulted in rapid improvements in my posture, balance, flexibility and strength. These classes go far beyond yoga and provide deep somatic techniques that lead to long-lasting change.“

“Finally, I find the thing! Okay, so I love group fitness classes, as I would rather die than roll around alone sweating on my living room carpet, therefore multiple pounds of Covid weight have been adorning my frame, and did I mention the baby that I had during lockdown? After the dust settled, I ventured out to Core Power Yoga, which mysteriously did nothing for my body after daily sessions for months (it could absolutely be my total lack of energy in a sauna, not blaming the place). I tried in vain to rejoin my old Zumba studios, which had closed, and I did do some Pop Physique, which I love, but was very aware of the lack of cardio and strength in my life...I walked past those stressful looking cross fit barn places with men lifting heavy things and grunting and knew in my soul that I needed it, but would never, ever, do it. Running from station to station crazily in a circuit is a step too far.Then I walked by SPENGA. I am now maybe twenty classes in, and it's time to review. I really, really love it! Basically, as everyone has said below, doing something for 20 minutes makes you give it your best shot. I don't like spinning for an hour, but I sure like 20 minutes of trying to hit the zones on the screen to music. It's in dim lights which is awesome, you can make crazy faces, and no one sees. Took me a minute to figure out that I should up the resistance on the bike to hit the mythical 'sweet spot' but I've figured that out now. I really like the strength part... you walk over to your own POD with all the stuff and you DO NOT HAVE TO walk wildly around a room, you just stand there, and there's an instructor AND videos to follow for each exercise. I am doing things I would never do, just through the shame of being watched! My arms are really toning up already. I'll have to try a bit harder for the mid section but that's on me. And I feel it coming. I can do a far bigger range of movement already...Then you go to the yoga mat. You do a reasonable flow for ten minutes and then some nice twists, and chavasana. It's an opportunity to work out any body kinks during that section, as no one is hassling you to follow along exactly if you find a body spot you want to keep stretching.I emerge feeling very exercised, but not exhausted, with at least an hour of active fitbit minutes, when power yoga sometimes gave me about 3. The facility itself is clean, sweet smelling, has free parking and everyone's really nice and welcoming. Yep, this one's a winner!“

“Paul’s class is above and beyond. This space is also calming. Parking is accessible too.“

“I've been practicing Bikram Yoga at Hot Yoga Pasadena regularly for a about 13 months now and I can't think of any negative things to say about this studio! It is equipped with clean showers and multiple restrooms. In the beginning, I had a hard time getting used to the smell of sweat in the hot yoga room full of people, but it no longer bothers me. It's just something that you have to get used to if you want to practice hot yoga anywhere.I love my regular instructors (since they pay attention to details and try to push me beyond my limits), but I have never had a bad instructor here. All of them are really encouraging, knowledgeable, and friendly.Practicing Bikram Yoga has transformed my life in different ways, both physically and emotionally. Prior to this practice, weekly chiropractic sessions and daily pain medications were not able to completely eliminate the upper back and neck pain that I experienced from long hours of standing (required by my job). I am happy to say that the tension on my neck and shoulders have been significantly reduced (from 6 to 1 on a scale of 1-10) since I started my regular Bikram Yoga practice and I no longer need to visit my chiropractor or my daily pain medications!I'm not going to lie and say that I am totally pain free. In fact, I often feel sore all over my body after 90 minutes of stretching and toning in the hot and humid room, but as the saying goes, "no pain, no gain!" I've tried other methods of weigh loss after having two kids, but couldn't really maintain them. Bikram Yoga has somehow guided me to a healthier life style (with more water and vegetable and less caffeine consumption and eating smaller but more frequent meals). I find that on days that I don't drink enough water or did not eat well, it is harder for me to complete my yoga practice. However, no matter how terrible I feel during the practice, I always enjoy the rush of endorphines after each yoga session. A year of religious Bikram Yoga practice has resulted in a 10-pound weight loss and the decrease in one dress size!Getting started was the hardest step, especially with getting my body used to the heat and the smell of sweat. I'm glad I got over those hurdles and feel very thankful for Hot Yoga Pasadena in providing a clean facility and amazing instructors to help me in this positive self transformation!“

“I had a training session with Antonio, and he was super helpful with everything. From breaking down my physical body composition to what muscle I was working out with every exercise, he encouraged me to keep going and to do the exercises the right way in order to have better results. I would highly recommend a personal training session with him for anyone looking to start working out.“
