Santa Barbara Yoga Center

Established in 1992, Santa Barbara Yoga Center has been serving the community of Santa Barbara, California, and its visitors for nearly three decades. As one of California's leading yoga centers, we are committed to providing a Yoga Home that welcomes all, body, mind, and spirit. Our beautiful, historic building, located in the heart of Santa Barbara, is home to a team of experienced and passionate teachers, offering a wide variety of classes, workshops, and events for all levels of practice.

Classes

Our daily schedule offers a large variety of yoga styles, including in-person and livestream classes to suit different needs. Our classes include Iyengar, Prenatal, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and more. Our teachers are registered with Yoga Alliance (RYT) and Certified Iyengar Teachers (CIYT), many of whom are Certified Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT), highly trained professionals who meet established international standards. We offer adaptations to poses so that they are accessible and challenging, ensuring that our students receive gentle guidance with experienced teachers they can trust.

Workshops & Events

In addition to our daily classes, we offer workshops, community events, and retreats with local and international instructors. Our workshops and events provide an opportunity for students to deepen their studies, learn from expert teachers, and connect with other members of the yoga community. We believe that the practice of yoga extends beyond the mat, and we are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive community for all.

Teacher Trainings

Santa Barbara Yoga Center has a well-rounded Teacher Training program. We offer Yoga Alliance certified 200, 300, and 500-hour trainings that prepare novice and advanced teachers to lead safe and effective yoga classes. Our trainings emphasize the importance of a consistent personal practice, the study of anatomy and philosophy, and the development of clear and effective teaching skills.
