Curative Yoga Pasadena

The class is great and just what I need at this time in my life. The exercises are definitely gentle but when someone like myself has not practiced hatha yoga in 30 years, it’s really helpful to find those muscles again and begin to develop them in our gentle but definitely invigorating way. I thought the pace of the class was perfect!

I sure am grateful to Curative Yoga during the Pandemic. I stopped doing my yoga for almost a year or more and I developed health issues because I lacked movement. I took the plunge and signed up for Unlimited and vowed to do this consistently like I have done for the past almost 20 years now. This is really not just a yoga studio, it is a 2nd home. I enjoyed the Yin/Yoga class that Art taught tonight. He really takes his time and makes the breath the most important part of the practice. I am amazed at how my breath helps me relax into the pose, and I don't need to be "more" flexible or "more" X,Y,Z, it is important to be present and focus. I always learn something new and I really enjoy taking as many classes here as I can. I signed up for his workshop because it is challenging. I also enjoy Naader, John, Liz, everyone is special in their own way. Namaste. Taking classes prevents me from getting health issues! Being in my early 40's especially, I get so mad that I am getting issues and having to take supplements, but yoga is MEDICINE.

Excellent physical and spiritual classes.
Been attending for 12+ years.
Especially love Naader and Carolina's sessions.

I love liz. The class is challenging but she gives praise and suggestions on how to keep going. She has a lovely and gentle voice

Such a lovely Class. Thank you Carolina

Art Grigorian is an amazing teacher and yogi.  He challenges the class continually but always allows for modifications.  Although I miss the in-person class, Art is inspiring, motivating and works us out every class.  I love that he makes himself laugh - and I chuckle along as I sweat.  If you ever want to be challenged physically or mentally, take Art's class and enjoy.  You might struggle through the practice, but you will feel amazing after!

Liz Tovar is the yoga teacher’s teacher. What a joy are her classes! Her precise and sometimes challenging instructions are delivered so comfortingly, so expertly, that the student is surprised to find herself or himself stretched to whole new lengths. She participates in the classes of other yogis — always curious, ever learning and collaborative. This results in a new move or two in her own sessions, which is fun. Liz is kind and patient, and her reading of a devotional passage at the end of each class puts the perfect bow on the gift she gives.

The key to Jim Breese’s skill as a yoga instructor is his powerful ability to inspire. He is at once each student’s partner — coming alongside to create a sense of community, belonging and warmth — as well as winning leader — motivating the learner to surprising new levels of athletic accomplishment and spiritual awareness. This street-wise sage strings pearls of wisdom along with his instructions, leaving the student exercised and very much enlightened.

My husband and I have been doing Art's class 4 to 5 days per week since the pandemic began and we LOVE it!  Art is a fantastic teacher who manages to be both consistent in his teachings but also keep the class always interesting and challenging. He focuses on the whole picture of Yoga--from meditation, breathing and mental focus to flexibility and strength training. We both feel so much stronger and more peaceful since we started with Art.

I have to say the team at Curative is also incredibly helpful and welcoming!

great experience---and while Art's classes can be intense (in a GREAT way) he always suggests modifications and is very supportive and encouraging.

I have attended classes here for 14 years. The curative team gives me the inner peace and physical strength. Art’s classes have pushed me through physical challenge and as a result, I have built up endurance and bodily strength in his classes. Liz and Carolina’s classes have always reminded me to unwind and relax my body.  Naader is a such spiritual awakening instructor. Thank you for his encouragement and guidance in my yoga practice. Yoga can keep me healthy body and mind and I’m grateful for curative yoga team.
