MOSAIC Yoga

Great yoga space! The teachers are super flexible and really allow you to do what’s best for you. Each class enables you to practice at whatever level you’re at. No mirrors-​yay! They have times that work great with my schedule and they also have an app which is very useful! I started using this studio because they have a great 2 weeks for $ 20! You can’t beat that! What would make this studio even better is more 90 minute yoga classes, more inversion practices and keeping the window open during class (I hate any type of heat, but that’s just me). Definitely recommend this studio!

I found this studio because of the 2 for $ 20 deal, which gives you unlimited yoga classes for 2 weeks for $ 20. I was hooked after the first class! Every teacher I’ve practiced with is knowledgeable and friendly. It’s been my experience that they all really want to help you with your practice regardless of how long you have been doing yoga or your level. The teachers also allow you to explore pose variations dependent on your comfort level in a non judgement studio with practitioners at various levels. This is definitely my favorite studio I’ve been to since moving to San Diego.

I love this yoga studio. It’s beautiful and tranquil, the staff are very friendly and I enjoy the modern, chill background music they play during practice. My only qualm is that they don’t offer daily Yoga 1 classes.

By far, mosaic is my favorite studio in all of SD. The people that the studio attracts are super cool, the teachers are passionate, deep, interesting and always seem to remember me even if it’s been a while.
I love coming here and especially love Ryan Krupas classes!!!

I look forward to yoga every week. Every class I feel challenged, strong, and comforted. It’s a really beautiful space filled with a beautiful community of people. I really enjoy the connection between inner and outer work. I’ve never been able to stick to any type of «group exercise» class of any kind because I hate working out on someone else’s schedule, but I’ve now been going to Mosaic regularly for 6 months. I’ve only missed my weekly class when I’m out of town. I even attended a Grace in Strength workshop and improved in my practice significantly in the 3 hours. Kevin & Sophie are my favs… which may not be fair to the other instructors because I have not yet been to their classes because I’ve been so happy with what I’ve found! Thank you for being such a lovely part of the Golden Hill community, Mosaic!

I absolutely love this studio! I have gone to several others but this one blows all of them right out of the water. So far I have taken 4 different teachers, Erin, Sophie, Susie, and one other lady who teaches Yoga 2 at 12:00am on Sundays, and they are all so good. It is a welcoming and warm studio. I have been going for a few months now and I am starting to push myself in ways I never thought possible, on and off the mat. Try this studio!

MOST WELCOMING & AUTHENTIC YOGA STUDIO in SD yet… As the projection of yoga continues to expand, primarily the «athletic» yoga, it has been difficult to «find» a community that is so stripped of ego. I started taking class when the owners had a smaller space, my first experience and thereafter I have always felt at-​home. It’s a gem in this city. Often I travel to Boulder, San Fran, etc to catch some of my favorite spaces and teacher… search no more, it’s in my backyard.
Thoughts;
1.) if you are new to the practice start out with their beginning classes. There is no need to get ahead of yourself and end up with an injury. You will STILL gain all of the benefits and you’ll have a better mind-​body connection.
2.) try to enter into, any, yoga space without judgement. You’ve arrived, there’s really no place for your ego. and with this group, no ones judging you. it’s truly a community of support… hold some space for your brothers.
3.) keep it LIGHT, have fun and let go of all the crap you’ve been holding.
4.) the teachers here POUR their hearts and soul into the practice and it SHOWS.
5.) the founders are contemporary gurus
Wrap-​up; I am a chiropractor and have been teaching mobility and movement therapy for the past 6 years. I wholeheartedly recommend Mosaic as a place that has logical, safe, and a functional approach to your physical health. I send my patients here, I send my friends here, I’d send my mom here…
SHout out to Sophie, Erin, Jules, and Kevin — keep on rockin’!

Just joined about 5 weeks ago. Been practicing yoga for about 7 years in Minnesota and moved here jumping around to different studios and this is by far my favorite. Went to Susie’s class and love how she incorporated 3 styles into one class. It felt like some yin, hatha, and vinyasa. Loved Kaitlyn’s Block Party yoga class: Also enjoying John’s Thursday level 2 class. Love to hear his stories at the beginning that are inspiring and he is a great teacher. Gave it only 4 because sometimes it is way too hot for me that causes more tension in my body. Wish that the level one and two classes were more comfortable temperature wise.

While trying to find a good yoga studio, I was told by a true yogi that mosaic is «real yoga».
Since class one, I’ve learned so much at mosaic, I feel great during and after yoga class. Mosaic challenges me physically and mentally, way more than other yoga studios I’ve been to.
Love Sophie’s and Ryan’s classes.
Classes get really packed, therefore it gets crowded and sometimes don’t have enough space to practice.
Love the fact that there are NO MIRRORS in the classroom! Yay! Otherwise you compare yourself with someone else.
What I would appreciate is silence in the classroom prior to class :)

I went to Mosaic for the first time, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The atmosphere seemed great and the establishment is beautiful.
I was excited for class to begin, the instructor entered the room and gave a «disclaimer» about how he talks about things that may offend people. I was a little confused as to what he was talking about.
Class began and so did his mouth. The instructor did not shut up for the entire one and a half hour class. He was cussing, talking about everything from freeing your soul to the evils of the world and social media. For someone who is supposed to be «spiritual» the way this man spoke was far from that. It was the most stressful class I have ever experienced.
I was told after class that he was not the usual teach, but it doesn’t matter. I paid $ 20 for a drop in and was subjected to hippie propaganda for an hour and a half. I am not fluent with all types of yoga, but i know that its not supposed to leave more stressed than when you went in. I will never go back.

Mosaic is something special. Some of the most top-​notch instructors I’ve ever experienced. I come here for the spirituality. The asana is a bonus.

Finally! A yoga studio that has the perfect balance of great setting, knowledgeable and friendly teachers, convenient location, and wide variety of class times. I have lucked out in finding decent places to practice in San Diego but MOSAIC yoga was the first place to really hit it out of the ball park.
It was refreshing to enter a studio that doesn’t have mirrors on the walls. With mirrors, it is too easy to compare oneself to another yogi. The monthly membership prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of instruction.
I have been challenged in the way that really counts; learning something new about my practice, getting just enough guidance, and feeling confident enough to try again.
After each class, I have felt so centered and refreshed. And walking out, every instructor has always been as energetic and positive as they were in the start.
Ryan, Sophie, Kaitlyn, and Kevin are truly fantastic; introducing mantras, keeping us engaged, and personalizing the lessons based on our feedback. These are the only MOSAIC instructors I have taken classes with so I can’t speak to the others but I’m confident they are just as great!
After moving to north North Park, I’ve struggled with finding a yoga studio that can compare to MOSAIC. I’m beginning to realize it’s worth the drive to return here.
My only suggestion would be to request having silence in the studio prior to class.
It can get quite noisy with chatter although this probably only bothers someone who is hypersensitive to auditory stimuli. Other than that, MOSAIC is perfection.
This place is absolutely recommended for yogis of all ages and levels.

If you’re looking for some tough love or a gentle hand, MOSAIC Yoga is the right studio for you. All of their instructors are amazing, the studio is clean and inviting, and they really encourage you to live your truth. I’m really excited to explore my yoga practice with them!

I got my Mosaic membership in early 2013. At the time I was just getting into yoga and had finished my free month at another very well known studio, which will remain nameless ;-) Right off the bat, I was impressed. The place was small and intimate and I felt very comfortable… the instructors knew me by name before I even came back for my second class. However, I could tell that they were getting more popular because every class I attended was literally shoulder to shoulder. This made it very hard to do even simple postures because there was simply not enough space. Luckily, they were on the verge of moving across the street to their brand new state of the art (and much bigger) space!
When I went to my first Mosaic level 2 at the new studio I knew I had chosen the right place to deepen my practice, and I never looked back. Mosaic is unlike any yoga studio in San Diego. Not only are all of the instructors/​owners amazing, there is a real sense of family that radiates throughout and I feel at home every time I walk through the doors. As an added bonus, Mosaic has no mirrors. I love this because it forces you to look inward and to really feel the postures instead of obsessing about how you look or feeling like someone is watching you.
Another amazing thing about Mosaic is that they offer so much more than just yoga classes. They have yin/​reiki, gravity, and a plethora of different workshops focusing on everything from advanced postures and inversions to mind/​body/​soul cleansing and consciousness. And they offer a yoga teacher training twice a year (something I definitely plan on doing in the next year or so).
Yoga has changed my life in so many ways and I really have this beautiful studio and all of it’s instructors to thank. Sophie A., Ryan K. and Ryan G. in particular. I will never stop practicing at Mosaic. My yoga practice has gone beyond anything I thought myself capable of, and I am forever grateful!
If you’re looking for a new studio, do yourself a favor and check this one out! You won’t be disappointed!

My wife had been trying to get me to try yoga for months. She had come to Mosaic for a few months but stopped for a bit. We decided to go together as a way to calm ourselves from busy days and get a good sweat while at it. I started with a Yoga 1 class and did a few of them. Sophie and Julie were great intro teachers. They made me want to keep going and I went to Yoga 2 within a few weeks just because I needed a little more challenge. Every instructor I have had so far in Yoga 2 has been very helpful and never made me feel out of place if I wasn’t able to hold something. I have to say we tried a few other studios to see how they were. Nothing compared to Mosaic. I felt judged and criticized at other studios. I may be new to yoga but I know that yoga is welcoming and loving. Mosaic has always offered those feelings and I’m looking forward to continuing to practice at Mosaic.

There are not many hot yoga studios in the downtown San Diego area so when I found they had hot yoga I tried out the 2 week trial.
From the second I walked in I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome. They must have a lot of regulars and knew I was a newbie and every single instructor pulled me aside and personally introduced themselves. So far Ive met Sophie, Ryan, and Luke and taken Ryan and Lukes classes and they are awesome, a little different each time so you do NOT get bored and its a great challenge of a workout. This place is amazing I hope it doesnt get too crowded from all the great reviews.

I love this place. It’s like coming home. The staff knows who you are, the teachers are diverse and genuine, and building a spiritual community is a priority. The best.

Milked their 2 week for $ 20 offer for all I could and I really grew an unexpected fondness for this studio despite it being a 30 minute drive from home. The studio is large, clean, and lacks mirrors (more wall space to play on, no reflections to distract you). The room is gently heated (80−85deg), so you will build a sweat quickly but it is not so oppressively hot that you cannot get into a really juicy flow. I got to try several of the instructors and found many of them to be very engaging and fun – special mentions to BOTH Ryans, Sophie, and Johnny Fay for introducing me to tricks, techniques and flourishes that I had not seen before in my 10 years of practice and helping the practice seem fresh. A few instructors I did not resonate so well with, but I felt it was more of a matter of taste than actual lacking in their instruction. Overall I like the way the instructors encourage you to explore your own practice and make it about creative expression.
I would take off a half star if only because I wish they would make the practice space a quiet zone. In a crowded class I feel like I’m walking into a gaggle of geese, as everyone is chatting loudly and voices are reverberating off the walls, which can make settling in a bit difficult. Same thing happens the instant class is over. It’s very jarring to come out of shavasana when the room suddenly erupts into a public street fair.

I was never a fan of yoga but after coming here, that changed pretty quickly.
+ I like that the classes are not intimidating. I’ve been to another franchise yoga studio and felt really uncomfortable. At Mosaic, it feels really open and inviting.
+ clearly I am not a pro and here, you don’t need to be. I like that they allow you to do what you need to do in «your practice». To me, that means I can show up to any level class and do my thing without feeling distracting to others.
+ the classes are pretty small and never felt like I was being squished against someone or felt someone’s sweat on me.

As far as yoga studios in San Diego go, Mosaic is one to definitely not miss! I stumbled upon their site and took advantage of their 2 Weeks for $ 20 offer for new students. Knowing that I could never decline a good deal, I decided to give it a go.
The moment I walked in, I was instantly warmly welcomed by the Mosaic staff. It was as if they were welcoming me into their community with open arms. It actually threw me off at first; other studios have great staff, but Mosaic took it even further. Their new space (which had only been open for about two months at that point) is very spacious with large windows and is a beautiful sight during the daytime with the sunlight coming into the room. No mirrors in this studio which is OK; it makes the space more bright and open.
My first class was their Level 2 class with Sophie; not too easy and not too hard (still woke up sore the next morning, though). Needless to say, I wanted more of a challenge. After that, I took Level 2 again but this time with Michael. He was more physically challenging but still provided a fun class. Then came the fun part; I took my first ever Hot Yoga in my life at Mosaic. I had been dreading it but still wanted to give it a try. Thankfully, Mosaic’s Hot Yoga class was not as intense as originally thought at Nancine is a wonderful instructor.
From there, I moved onto Level 3 once with Ryan G. and then with Sophie again. For me, the Level 3 class is just right in terms of difficulty and with more opportunities to explore. I was scared at first to take it but realized that it had been what I had been looking for to advance my practice.
I look forward to continuing my practice at Mosaic and see how far along I can go. Highly recommended!
