LiveMetta Pilates and Yoga

I have been attending yoga classes here for about 8 months now, and I love it. I tried out quite a few yoga studios in the area, but this one just clicked. The space is beautiful & calming. The location is great and the front desk is always kind and helpful. They offer an amazing variety of classes for all levels of yogis. Their membership rates are very reasonable for OC and they never try to upsell you on anything. They also hold events like yoga workshops and sound baths that I am looking forward to trying in the future! The yoga instructors are all very good, and Chayton in particular is probably the best instructor I have ever taken a class with. Chayton is an awesome teacher, welcoming of his students, provides clear cues and instructions, offers modifications, explains alignment, and his vinyasa flows are fun, energizing, and creative. 10/10 :)

Chayton led a fantastic 75-minute yoga class that flew by effortlessly. Despite managing an extremely full room, he maintained a calm, organized presence and offered a thoughtfully curated sequence of poses. I especially appreciated the options for wheel pose and crow pose, as well as the dedicated time for shoulder stand toward the end. The 9 a.m. class on a rainy Sunday felt perfectly timed, and the temperature in the room was just right—comfortable but challenging. Though there were no props left for my half moon pose, it was a great opportunity to work on realistic balance development, which I actually enjoyed. Overall, Chayton created a balanced, engaging class that left me feeling energized and centered. Highly recommend! Review of Eva Kozak's Power Reformer 5:30 PM Sunday Class I recently had the pleasure of attending Eva Kozak's Power Reformer class at 5:30 PM on a Sunday, and I can't recommend it enough! Eva is an exceptional instructor who expertly guides you through a challenging yet rewarding workout. As a newcomer to the chair, I especially appreciated her discreet guidance and clear explanations, which quickly brought me up to speed. She also provided excellent instruction on advanced reformer exercises, ensuring everyone felt challenged and supported. Eva's attention to detail is outstanding. She takes the time to explain the appropriate spring combinations for each exercise and demonstrates proper form, offering helpful corrections along the way. I particularly valued her tips on safely performing pike exercises on the box. Even with a class size of around 10 people, Eva manages to create a personalized experience. It felt like a semi-private session, with individual attention and modifications offered throughout. The time flew by, filled with effective strength-building exercises targeting the core, biceps, triceps, and legs. I left the class feeling energized, accomplished, and eager to return. If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding reformer Pilates class, Eva Kozak's Sunday evening session at LiveMetta is an excellent choice! Review of Mariel’s Flow and Yin Classes at LiveMetta Yoga Mariel’s Sunday evening flow (5:15 PM) and yin (6:30 PM) yoga classes are a standout for anyone looking to balance strength and relaxation in their practice. Mariel excels in guiding her students through well-explained poses, with plenty of options for prop use and thoughtful modifications to either simplify or advance the poses based on your needs. Her teaching style is clear, supportive, and adaptable, making the classes approachable for all levels. The studio itself is inviting, with the perfect temperature, calming lighting, and ample space for every participant to feel comfortable. The front desk staff enhances the experience by providing a warm and expert check-in process, complete with an explanation of the differences between yin and yang yoga styles for newcomers. They also go above and beyond, offering helpful assistance with lost and found items. LiveMetta’s location is another big plus—easy parking and proximity to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s make it convenient to combine your yoga practice with errands. Overall, Mariel’s classes and the LiveMetta experience provide a perfect mix of expert instruction, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommended! Great heated flow class by Daniel. Easy to follow. Well organized. Thoughtful meditation aspect. Mia does nice check in. Great venue. Easy parking. Lots of fun people to meet and chat

Carly is a kind soul who made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout her relaxing class. I especially appreciated her calming voice and thoughtful suggestions for modifications to accommodate all skill levels. Her tranquil music choices also added to deeper enjoyment of the class atmosphere.

LiveMetta Laguna Niguel looks brand new with four studio rooms - two for Yoga and two with Pilates Reformers. The Galaxy room backs up to a courtyard with greenery and the building is next to an art gallery! Plenty of parking and there is an awesome cafe nearby. Today was my first day but I didn't want to leave - clean, beautiful, studios and awesome instructors!

Cindy is so amazing! She has extensive knowledge in yoga practice; her classes are relaxing, with great mindful quotes, and very helpful in refining my yoga practice. Her yoga classes are real treats to my wellness journey…feel so delicious like she often says in class! I am new to pilate and initially was imitated to those weird looking reformers. I immediately signed up the unlimited membership after joined Cindy’s orientation class. Her pilate classes are clear on instructions, she pays attention to safety in details, and most importantly her classes are so energetic and full of fun with her sense of humor and the choice of music. She was dancing to Bee Gees Staying Alive while cheering us to survive the pushups in class this week 😊. I am so grateful to find such awesome instructor for yoga and pilates in one studio!
