IN YOUR WORDS:
"I found the space clean, the staff friendly and WELL trained to assist me at my personal level of fitness and yoga experience."
"One of the best things about your studio is THE ENERGY. I am very sensitive to the energy of a place and I could just hang out here every day -- but you might make me do yoga all day so I don't."
"This is my first real experience with an actual Yoga Studio. My past experience has been in a gym with 30-40 people. Clearly, your studio is the better way. I find the environment very calming. The people are, obviously, passionate about yoga and general well-being."
"I love Sun Salute Yoga. I have been taking yoga for 10 years in studios and gyms throughout California and this studio is one of my favorites. The studio itself is intimate and cozy, feels safe, clean. Music mostly appropriate. Troy is an amazing, incredible teacher and guide."
"I met some of the staff and they were full of light and energy. I enjoyed the color and feel of the studio."

Power Yoga, Gentle and Restorative, Cardio Flow, Level One, Stretch for the Non Yogi, Relaxation Yoga, Traditional Amrit (meditative flow) Yoga, Learn to Meditate, Goddess Dance, Core and Yoga, we have it all.
The Purpose: To make a positive difference in the lives of our students so they can reach their highest potential through encouragement, challenging experiences and support.
The Business: To provide a safe, warm loving studio environment and committed teachers that create relationships and safe yet deep experiences for the enrichment of their students lives.
The Values: A family of teachers who are knowledgeable and studied in Yogic arts and health, certified and continuing their education, caring and open to achieving excellence for themselves and safely guiding their students through life transforming experiences in each class.
Motto: One Sun - Many Rays. A soft surface, warm hearts.
Commitment:No hard wood, no sore joints and aching backs. Our soft surface offers a core challenge in a safe environment. Come home. We Heat the Body, not the room. Move, breathe, work, feel the natural heat of your body! No artificial heat here.
Sun Salute Yoga is dedicated to being the 'safest' Yoga Studio in Southern California. We offer a non-harmul surface to practice on, saving undue wear and stress on joints caused by hard surfaces.
The Sun is a powerful metaphor for Yoga and the challenges we find on the mat. The sun expresses its self in many rays of sun, yet, under it all, the sun is one. Just as we appear in many different forms and personalities on this planet and everyday on our mat, yet underneath we are all one.
We exclusively offer the only location of the Amrit Method(tm) tradition in Orange County. Moving mindfully, each class explores our inner strengths taking us through transitions and into awareness. We experiment with different themes encouraging us to find our unique expression, or ray, on the mat, but in the end, return to the one that we all are.

"Sun Salute Yoga is such a wonderful studio. I can now afford to belong to a yoga studio with Sun Salutes easy payment plans and monthly deals. If you would like to belong to a studio but feel it is too expensive, come give Sun Salute Yoga a try. There's usually a new student deal to give the studio a try for 2 weeks for under $30. The location is perfect and the people are always friendly and make you feel welcome. Come to one class and you will be thanking yourself for years to come."

Salute Level 1 and Level 2 Medium to High Intensity
Postures for every level from beginer to advanced. Start with Salute One and progress to Salute Two. Mixed level classes with postures that are challenging, but easy to understand. Hatha (balance of opposites) is glowing combining movement and breath geared toward building heat. Through the heat of the sun you will generate increased flexability, stamina and burn away stress. Each class builds upon the previous one throughout the month with a goal in mind.
MORE CLASSES
Mat Pilates Medium to High Intensity
Pilates primarily aims to work the core muscles. This includes the stomach and lower back, as well as the pelvic muscles, buttocks, thighs and spine. By working on the core, you can attain better posture, breathe easier and better, improve your balance, control the flow of air and blood within the body and improve your concentration. Core Pilates exercises do not consist of traditional abdominal work with a lot of repetition. Instead, they are more akin to yoga, where you hold a single pose or movement throughout its full range.
Yoga With Weights Very High Intensity
Taught by certified Personal Trainers and Yoga Instructors: tone and sculpt your entire body combining light weights, traditional postures, fun and new routines each week. The format will push you to new levels and increase your strength to new heights. Take your fitness to a new level and have fun. Room warmed.
Stretch and Core Low to Medium Intensity
A class for the non Yogi looking to find a way into Yoga slowly through stretching and core strengthening exercises. Developed by our staff, this class turns a stretch into a core exercise. Start with a held flexability position and transition it into an ab, back and glute strengthening exercise. A unique format for fun and stability.
Power Solar Flair Yoga Hight Intensity
A dynamic flow of powerful asanas synchronized with breathing techniques used to generate internal body heat. This, combined with two important internal 'bandhas' (body locks), induces profuse sweating during the sequence, which eliminates toxins. There is a dramatic increase in energy and well-being. This system is not for beginners. Room warmed.
Amrit Method(tm) Medium Meditative Flow Intensity
The practice of Amrit Yoga has the power to engage you totally, absorb you completely, and integrate you fully into your body, mind, heart and soul. It empowers you to enter the experience of unity, which is integral to the experience of yoga.
Amrit Yoga is a metaphor for life. The skills of mindful attention and meditative awareness you develop on the yoga mat extend to challenges you encounter in life. Painful transition periods, relationships and crises can become opportunities and openings for personal transformation.
PiYo™ Hight Intensity
PiYo™ is the perfect blend of Pilates, Yoga, sports stretch, dance stretch, and athletics that will help you burn calories and build muscle! It's about way more than just flexibility.The dynamic blend of movement increases strength, balance, and agility, while being easy on the mind and the joints. This workout provides an incredible mind/body experience that will help you lose weight and completely transform your body!
Gentle/Restorative Sunset Yoga: Very Low Intensity
Consists of easy movements, long stretches and deep breathing, meant to calm and revitalize. This class is appropriate for students of every ability, age, and fitness level. Each class ends with a new stress reduction technique.

Yoga
Yoga is a passion that I discovered quite by accident and in a later part of my life. It is the bridge between working with my and others bodies to live a healthy life and looking at the mind and how much it affects our being. It is the answer to all the questions I have about how the human mechanism works. I am impassioned every time I take a class and excited every time I teach a class.
After experiencing a personal tragedy and loss I moved to an island off the Florida Keys for a year to escape from reality. After returning to ‘society’ and a regular job and existence I was looking for a way to calm my mind and reduce the stress in my life when I was attracted to a Meditation teacher in Florida, Diane Ross. Working with her ‘Natural Meditation’ technique and her loving presence changed my life for the positive and opened me up to seeking a higher purpose in my being.
After another trying period in my life, I decided to dedicate myself to sharing my health knowledge and passion with others when someone suggested I try Yoga. It brought together all the hard work I had been putting into my health at the gym, the relaxation, stress reduction and mental clarity I received from meditation training. It was a light bulb.
I have since fallen in love with Yoga and all the medical benefits it offers. I am Amrit Yoga Master Trained and have taken classes with Shiva Rea, Beth Shaw, Core Power Yoga, studying Hatha Flow, Ashtanga, Bikrams, and Kundalini styles. I am dedicating myself to on going education in this sacred arts and sharing the constantly evolving passion with the world.
Dina

She also incorporates Ayurveda and subtle body concepts into her yoga practice and teachings. She is a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and is a Certified Spiritual Healer.
Sasha
Music, movement and spirituality have always been a big part of Sasha's life. She grew up singing, dancing and even meditating. However, until she discovered yoga singing, dancing, and meditation were separate practices. One for the mind, one for the body and one for the breath. In 2001 she took her first official yoga class. She was amazed at the way yoga unified the mind, body and the breath. It wasn't long before she started noticing the effects that yoga had on her mental clarity, her strength and balance, and the ways in which it benefited her relationships. This began what quickly became a dedicated yoga practice of asana several days a week as well as studying yogic philosophy and lifestyle.
After 6 years of practicing her main yoga teacher recommended that she consider teaching. In 2007 she completed the Yogaworks 200 hour teacher training program. The program was such a transformational experience for her that once it was finished she made a life changing decision and quit her corporate job and dedicate her time to yoga. She continued her training for another 300 hours through Yogaworks in L.A. where she mentored with Para Yoga master teacher, Jeanne Heileman and also studied under such accomplished teachers as, Annie Carpenter & Lisa Walford. After over 4 years of teaching experience and continuing education she now holds the highest designation recognized by Yoga Alliance, ERYT500.
Sasha’s teaching style is both nurturing and powerful. Her classes are safe, gentle and transformative. She incorporates music, sound healing, aromatherapy, light massage and hands on adjustments to create a complete sensory experience that leaves you feeling relaxed and renewed!
Claire
Claire began her journey into yoga and fitness after living in Mammoth Lakes, CA. She worked for Mammoth Mountain as their first snowboard host assisting ski patrol. After her return to Southern California, she needed the same kind of meditation that snowboarding offered...a new way to live in the moment.

Claire is certified as a Personal Trainer, Yoga and Pilates, Spin, Weight Training, Aqua and Zumba. Claire is fluent in Spanish. and has traveled South America and Europe on personal quests of discovery.
