Yoga Shine

My very first time I tried yoga was at Ventura Bikram Yoga as part of a 30 day challenge. Shiva, the instructor at that local, set a really high standard for what to expect from a yoga class. Gentleness, peace, in tune, and compassion among other elements but most important to treat your self with care and to listen to your body. These are the core elements that i look forward when in a yoga class. Elements that i found here at Shine Yoga during my last two visits with Giselle and Dawnde. I specially appreciate their extra help in the poses. Looking forward to my next trip to the central coast and join a class. Thanks

Warm, friendly place for some yoga. If you love pretentious it might not be the place for you, but very welcoming and i had a good workout without killing myself. I found yoga shine through my sister and am so happy to have discovered a place that’s casual, authentic and friendly to boot!.can’t wait for classes next week!

I have been attending classes at Yoga Shine since it opened in January. I love the friendly atmosphere… I always feel welcomed by the owner (Jesselle) and all the instructors as well. I enjoy the variety of classes that are offered… there’s always a class to suit my needs each day. Thank you to all the instructors who are helping me along my path in life… keeping me grounded… challenging me to try new poses… and most of all reminding me to ‘breathe’! Namaste!

I have been going to Yoga Shine since February and I started out with the $ 30 trial for 30 days and well I’m now a member. I love the people and the atmosphere –great energy and positive people! I’m not a long time yoga person but the extra help I get from the crew let’s me feel comfortable with my abilities, I always leave Yoga Shine feeling relaxed and strong. I also have my 6 year daughter go on Mondays and Wednesday for kids Yoga, she loves it! Very lucky to have found this gem of a place.

I can not say enough about Yoga Shine! What an awesome environment to begin or continue your Yoga Practice. I am a beginner in Yoga, maybe two months young, I am completely satisfied with the classes provided by Yoga Shine as well as the times provided and the instructors who give the classes. Classes are given throught the day starting at 615am to 800pm. This is a new studio with great ambiance and creative décor. The room is spacious, clean and kept at a great temperature to help warm the body. Jesselle Pena, owner, provides blankets, blocks, bolsters, straps and yoga mats to use if you do not have a mat of your own. She has recruited some talented, informative, genuine yoga instructors to help her bring different yoga classes to our community. Some that are available include: ashtanga, power yoga, gentle flow, bhakti, kids/​teen yoga, and restorative. It is hard not to find a class you like or a time frame. No matter what age, gender or stage of yoga practice you are in, Jesselle along with her staff make you feel welcomed and appreciated. The studio is new to Nimopo but you can see that there is magnetic pull to be part of this community. Please, if you have a little voice in your mind saying «I would like to try yoga» this is the place to start and continue your practice! There are affordable packages provided as well as a 30 day trial package for 30 $ which gives you unlimited yoga for 30 days. This will give you opportunity to really try all times and classes. I truely love this studio, the staff and location. Come in give it a try!!!

Yoga Shine Nipomo is a true blessing to our little community. The studio is large, clean, beautifully designed with warm wooden floor, soft beach colors, all the props (clean and new) that you need. A diffuser fills the studio with mild essential oils that add ambience and enhance the experience.
Most importantly, the instructors are top notch! I am still a novice but enjoyed my first months of practice at Yoga Center in SLO, whom I recognize now as a leader in the local Yoga community for excellence in practice. My experience so far at Yoga Shine has shown it to be on the same level of excellence in teaching and quality of practice. There are several various styles and levels offered. (even Yoga for Kids!)
Each instructor seems to share the love of the practice and the calm, relaxed, and happy countenance that owner, Jesselle exudes.
I never get that feeling that I am an outsider (as a relative newby) that I have felt when visiting other studios. No heavy over lay of any mystical religion. Yoga is what you make it to be. For me it is the best possible exercise for my body. It is relaxing. It stretches and strengthens my muscles. The practice helps me to calm my mind as well. For that one hour to focus on my breathing and I also continually focus on my God and my walk with the Lord.
I leave feeling completely calm, relaxed, stretched all out, a little sweaty and healthy for the workout (I do mostly the gentle yoga, some of her other classes are obviously really cardio pumping.) I hope to work up to the more cardio level as I become stronger. Each class can be modified to every level of practice, just talk to your instructor and let him or her know if you are new, have a painful joint or special need.
An unexpected side benefit has been getting to know so many Nipomo neighbors! I love to participate in this community but haven’t had a real group to get to know since our kids grew up and moved out.
For $ 30 a month trial, you really can’t lose. I am signing up for 3 more months! Really excited to have found an exercise right here in Nipomo that is fun, relaxing and so good for me! It’ll never get boring as there are so many different kinds of classes!

Great community! Space is top notch, all new. The retail space has a great selection for all your needs.
Also the yoga is super affordable too! 30 bucks to take as many classes as you want!
