Elite Yoga

I really enjoyed my first visit to Elite for a midday energy flow class. Wonderful, intuitive instructor and exactly the class I was needing. Peaceful and clean studio and I loved that essential oils were diffusing when I walked in. I will definitely be back!

I like coming to this yoga studio because it’s convenient for me, clean and down to earth. I normally find the classes they offer relaxing, especially after a long day of work. I once attended a class with candles (battery powered) and instantly love the vibe. I would recommend it to anyone in the general area of Carmel valley.

Located on Carmel Valley Road/​Torrey Del Mar Drive, they’re next to the Carmel Valley dry cleaners w/​the 7-​Eleven gas station on the corner.
Don’t let the little retail shopping center fool you– inside it’s a first class yoga studio! Very posh looking, extremely clean and comfortable. Now I have to admit, I got spoiled by Yoga Six’s padded floors :) but they have blankets that you can put under your knees if their wood floors trouble you.
My first class was Tone Up with Alex, the owner. What a sweet and welcoming lady (and super flexy! Man, she can do all sorts of poses!!). It’s a yoga class w/​weights. Holy smokes, I’ve never sweat so much in a yoga class. I LOVED IT!!! This was one of the best yoga classes I’ve ever taken.
I also took a Vinyasa class with Elizabeth, who was great too.
I love how these types of studios have first class instructors that know their stuff and do hands on corrections, as well as offering modifications. Oh and I love how at the end of each class as we are in deep resting pose they walk around and give a mini stretch/​massage for your neck! OMG! So relaxing! (They ask at beginning of each class to indicate if you would prefer no hands on corrections).
What I love about this studio besides being close to where I live, is that it’s non-​heated. You still get an awesome workout, but you don’t have to worry about passing out! lol
I wish they just had more classes throughout the day.
FYI: no childcare or showers. But their bathroom has mouthwash, lotions etc. This is primarily a women’s studio, but some classes they open to men. They also have towels, straps and yoga blocks.
They also have a La Jolla location which offers heated yoga if that’s your preference. This is a great jewel in Carmel Valley.
Love that they’re part of ClassPass. I would’ve never heard of them otherwise.

I love this studio. The vinyasa classes are great, but I really love the candlelit yin yoga classes in the evening! Sunday’s class is particularly magical. They just got a new instructor for their Tuesday basics class that will get even the most experienced yogi perfectly aligned. The owner has a very outgoing and inclusive energy that makes the studio feel like a little community. I have done yoga off and on for 15 years trying to make it my thing. It wasn’t until joining WEY that I started to really appreciate and enjoy my practice and see huge improvements in my flexibility.

This place has amazing yoga classes. I used to be an avid yogi before having my two children. I went back after not having done yoga for two years and love it. The class accommodates a wide range of people from beginners two more advanced. The teachers are awesome. It’s one of the best studios I have attended.

Just took my first class. 5:30 level 2 with Melissa. Oh my Gawd! What an awesome workout. Yet so mind clearing! The place was clean the instructor was so amazing. If you are afraid of Yoga or a veteran try this place! So excited. Found my new place!

I had been looking for something more kind to my body yet still offering a fitness benefit. I found WEY through a Living Social ad. So happy I did! Alex is both inspiring and nurturing. All of the instructors here are very good. Each class leaves you feeling energized yet relaxed. Studio is well designed and equipped. I’m now a regular happy member and try to get here no less than 5 days a week.

Fantastic yoga studio. It has all the components I look for — well trained, caring instructors, a clean and modern space with natural light and a variety of class times/​levels to accommodate different moods/​needs.
Give it a try!

Women’s Elite Yoga is truly the best yoga studio I have been to. My mother and I have been going over the past month and it is so serene with incredible instructors. It is owned by a deeply spiritual woman and this transcends into the whole environment of the studio. The instructors are very knowledgeable as well– I am 6 months pregnant right now and they always make sure to help me along in classes to show me modifications. I’m very grateful to have found this studio!
