Give the gift of peace to your body. I’m in love with this yoga studio. It’s a sanctuary and a space to foster whole body wellness. I enjoy the variety of classes from harnessing your energy flow with qigong (similar to Tai Chi), to the soulful deep stretching of yin yoga, to the toning deep postures of hatha yoga. I was skeptical about the breath empowerment classes at first because I’m pretty sure I already know how to breathe. But this class will blow your mind.
The classes are the perfect balance of engagement and release, walking that line between effort and surrender. If you are new to yoga, this is the perfect studio to start with – there are men, women and many seniors – all abilities are encouraged here.
If you want to be stronger, more flexible and more peaceful, join this studio. Or try it for $ 9 a class. The monthly fee of $ 125 includes a monthly amazing 60 min massage by Michelle, unlimited yoga & qigong, and a breath empowerment class. The massage alone is worth the monthly fee. There is a 96-​year old lady that comes to this studio. What’s your excuse?

Irene is a great teacher. I was able to visit her studio once while visiting San Diego when I was in college. I was able to take Qigong for my first time with Irene. I had an amazing time. I have been waiting a couple years now to move back to San Diego and attend her class again. It was an incredible experience. Very beginner friendly. I’m excited to come again. Thank you Irene. Everyone should come here and give qigong a chance!!!

Irene is simply the best massage therapist I have ever experienced, and I have been to many. She is very intuitive and learns your body issues quickly. She is also well versed in Chinese medicine and does amazing breath work. Plus she is one of the most truly positive people I know. Be ready for a work out when you book a massage as Irene is serious about your body and your health. I always feel renewed and I’m standing taller after a session. I am a repeat client and will be for as long as Irene is doing massage. I’m so grateful to have found her. Check out Breakthrough Healing Arts website for other services offered. It’s time well spent.

I began my Qigong (Chi Kung) practice here three years ago, and my life has definitely changed for the better because of it!
Irene is an amazing teacher. You must try the Breath Empowerment (warning: paradigm shifts may occur!) or 9-​Breath Circles that she does monthly!

Was introduced to Irene’s work through a Groupon massage coupon and so happy that I did. She gave me an incredible massage that incorporated a little bit of thai and pressure point work. If you like deep tissue work, go to her! Ive been extremely stressed lately, and she really targeted some knots that I had built up around my shoulders, neck and hips. That night I slept like a rock thanks to Irene! And she is very reasonable. I can tell she takes a very holistic approach to her work. I plan to see her every month at her north county location in Encinitas. Its well worth the visit!
