Yoga Body Shop JC

I love the place, it’s very clean and the teachers are very professional and they make me feel welcome.. thank you yoga body shop for being the best place on the area.

First time joining a zoom class with Karen.  Enjoyed the community feeling.   grounding, at the same time getting out of comfort zone.. Thanks so much!

YBS is an awesome Yogi community!  I really appreciated the "Shift Happens" online event today....just what I needed to help me look in, work forward through this.  I fell in love with YBS at my first class, as they practice in a way that lends toward a great deal of self-reflection and personal growth.  Thank you Ron & Linda, and all the excellent YBS staff for all you do for yogis out there and the greater community!  Can't wait until we can practice together again IRL!

Love YBS! A community I can call family! The teachers are all so supportive and encouraging!

Linda is amazing. She does a great job pushing you further in your practice, while still respecting your limits. She is truly a great teacher; the hot yoga classes is intense and reflective.

Loved this class!

I registered my daughter (5 yrs) for the safari camp (9am-12) with Caitlin.  She is a very (very) active, intelligent and sensitive human being.  She had never done yoga before, and she will start K in September, so being so young, I knew she might feel scared and overwhelmed, but Caitlin's caring nurturing spirit helped her tremendously.    I hung around outside the class in the lounge area (great calm soothing environment), and by the end of her class, she was grinning from ear to ear and bursting with energy.  She then went to daycare and told everyone about her yoga class, and how much she loved it!  Later that evening she told me she took a nap at the daycare - she has not napped for a couple of years!  
I will be signing up in a couple of months (injured my knee and am still healing), as I would like to share yoga experience with her and help her continue the practice, so she can channel her energy and also learn to relax.  All kids should take yoga - it might heal the world!

Today was my first hot yoga experience! I’ve done regular yoga many times but never hot! I was not as prepared for the heat. I didn’t bring a towel which would’ve been very useful since I was sliding all over my mat! Haha! But I survived l! Karen was great! Definitely will be back again and with a towel! :-)

This week I had my first ever Yoga experience. It was awesome. I loved it, and hated it a little. I couldn't really do many of the positions we were doing. But Tina was never critical, never made me feel uncomfortable, and stressed that each of us needed to do each position to whatever extent we were able. Some of them were a little painful (when is exercise of any kind not painful?) and the extent to which I could do them were not great. When I thought, "I can't do this.", a little voice in my head said, "But if you keep doing this, you will eventually be able to do this.". That little voice would not have spoken were it not for Tina's patient encouragement.
We focused on the lower back, which was great, because I have issues there. It was only yesterday, and today my back feels much better. I also did some of the poses at home today and found that already I can do more, do the poses better than yesterday, feel more flexible than yesterday.
At the end of the class, I thought I might like to continue doing yoga. Now, I can't wait for my next class and I know I'll continue doing Yoga.
Thanks so much for a great introduction to Yoga!
