Renee is one of the most nurturing, gentle-​spirited and humble people I’ve met. My husband and I first met her in a yoga studio in Chula Vista. She has helped guide us in our practice with an open mind and humor. Her ocean-​front yoga classes in Ocean Beach, classes in her private North Park studio (couples and family yoga with my then-​2 year old daughter), massages, and art-​yoga class have all been amazing! One of these days I hope to join her at one of her retreats in Mexico :)

Renee is an inspiration, great person and amazing teacher ! I have been doing yoga on and off for the last 15 years and I only have a handful of teachers that I truly love, Renee being one of them. She is creative in her work and how she presents yoga /​yoga philosophy. She pays close attention to each of her students. Her passion and energy fill the room and you will feel it on multiple levels. I highly recommend her retreats, series and classes. She’s a radiant being… Simply put.

Recently I completed my third restorative yoga series with Renee Gauthier in her peaceful private yoga/​massage studio and have already signed up for her Spring Chill Time series.
As you walk through Renee’s beautiful garden and approach her studio, you enter a tranquil yoga sanctuary, where you can breathe, relax, and take time for yourself. Renee incorporates breathing exercises, restorative yoga poses, and mouth-​watering, savory treats, created by her husband, at the completion of each class. Renee’s passion for yoga on and off the mat and warm and charismatic personality are evident in each and every class. She radiates peace and calm, and pampers her students with blankets, props, and attention — giving each student the time and space s/​he needs to relax and renew.
I have also attended Renee’s outdoor yoga classes at the Inn at Sunset Cliffs in Ocean Beach. These yoga classes are uplifting, appropriate for yoga students of all levels, and offer a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. I look forward to the return of Renee’s ocean-​view classes this spring and summer.

Renee has helped me immeasurably with recovery from a back problem, both with supportive yoga poses through semi-​private classes, and through her listening and caring. She brings a calming presence with her wherever she goes — her yoga classes «flow» (no pun intended), and you can feel her grounded spirit as she leads you through poses. I’d done yoga for 6+ years before starting the semi-​private classes with Renee and I’ve learned SO MUCH more from her than through «regular»
classes. She also leads amazing yoga retreats and is a skilled massage therapist… she has just the right touch.

You will not find a kinder, more inspiring AND down to earth teacher than Renee. She is a great athlete but incredibly modest regarding her own abilities. I’ve taken her classes at Happy-​U Namaste, small group classes and private instruction. You do get more personal attention and adjustments in the small group and private classes. It’s just not possible in a large group but no matter what the setting and numbers she ensures all students feel welcome and have a gratifying practice.
She also gives a mean massage! How is she so small and yet so strong? My husband and I have both greatly benefitted from her technique. I prefer a more gentle style but he is a Dude with a very physical job. He needs more of a deep tissue style and she delivers.

I have been taking yoga for more than 10 years and Renee is definitely one of the best! Her classes are always different, super inspiring and she takes into account all levels. You will never feel bad for not being able to do a pose in Renee’s class. You can tell she truly loves what she does and she gives so much to her students. And, the best part is, she is just as inspiring off of her mat. To me that is the mark of a truly good yoga instructor, one who lives yoga as well as teaches it. I would highly recommend Renee and always feel better after being around her. She gives amazing massages as well.

Renee has been an inspiration in my life over the past few years. I recommend her to any yogi from beginner to the most advanced. She guides students through asanas in a way that the effort turns into ease, and often you will find yourself in a position with a calm mind and body that you once found too hard or frustrating to even try. I have two favorite things about her classes; one the theme she focuses on or story she shares in the beginning of class are with you throughout the practice and sometimes stay with you forever, and two she always incorporates a little bit of fun and laughter into every class. She always makes you feel like you are exactly where you should be and then encourages you to smile. I could go on and on about Renee, but really you have to experience her yourself to truly feel the love and light she carries with her.

I have received both the personal attention of a private yoga lesson and an incredible therapeutic massage from Renee and I more than recommend her.
There are a few people I have meet that have done as much work on themselves as Renee, she exudes a quality of peace and happiness that few can cultivate. Her kind presence and calming voice bring together a powerful overall experience allowing her technique, guidance and personality to provide one of the best private yoga instructions and massages. There are many others that offer similar services, but few allow you to forget time and relax into each moment and breathe.

Renee is fantastic. Both my daughter and I have had her massages. Incredible. Her studio is calm and relaxing– you can hear the trees blowing in the wind and birds chirping. There is a lovely fountain outside the main door which is very soothing. My daughter and I also go to Renee for yoga. I do my yoga practice with Renee twice weekly– sometimes more. I cannot tell you how much better I feel in my body. She is my yogi and has helped me feel wonderful and flexible, calm and relaxed. She is a gentle soul but at the same time we laugh and have fun! You will not regret going to Renee for massage or for yoga practice. Highly highly recommend.

I give my highest recommendation for Renee Gauthier for her massage therapy (she’s also an amazing yoga instructor). If you’re looking to treat yourself to a professional massage in the most comfortable of environments, look no further.
I recently received a 90 minute massage at Renee’s private studio in North Park, very conveniently accessible off of the 805 Freeway. I’ve always found that the setting and atmosphere can have a huge impact on the overall experience of a massage. Renee’s studio is perfect — it’s quiet, relaxing, and will help you forget about everything else. Her massage skills and techniques are equally as incredible. You will reap the rewards of the years that Renee has dedicated to studying and perfecting her craft, integrating her personal touch into age-​old techniques. She described it to me as a fusion of Swedish, deep tissue, Shiatsu and others, but I’ll just call it ‘heavenly’. I treated myself to this massage on my lunch break of a particularly stressful day at work, and walked out with a true feeling of rejuvenation and relaxation of mind and body. You are doing yourself an injustice if you don’t book one now for you and/​or a loved one. I know I’ll be back soon!
