LiveMetta Pilates and Yoga — Attraction in Laguna Niguel

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!

Aside from the exceptional knowledge and instructions that are given during class the main attraction in my personal opinion is the value that is provided through the daily interaction of each and every employee at this company. Both Katie and Megan have both provided me with exceptional service wisdom and guidance throughout my journey and not only my yoga lessons but throughout my personal life as well. If you are looking for a culture that provides more then any other basic experience then you and the mat is definitely the place to be. Value is not only in the form of a dollar amount. I would happily pay double the price because the experience is incomparable. Even through the covid-19 they continue to check on me an offer me encouraging words. I want to take this time to promote what these young ladies have done at this club and if there is any doubt in selecting this club over another... I hope that this message will Aid you in your decision. You and the mat you are the...

I had such a wonderful experience at this studio! I tried Pilates for the very first time there and it was both challenging and rewarding — definitely a great workout that pushed me in the best way. While I was in class, my son was able to join a kids’ yoga class, which made the whole experience even more special for us.

The staff is incredibly warm, welcoming, and supportive. From the moment we walked in, we felt at ease and cared for. I have been to countless studios and the overall aesthetic stood out to me as beautiful, bright and immaculate. They created such a positive environment that made me feel comfortable even as I struggled through some of the moves. It’s clear they truly care about everyone who walks through the door, no matter their age or experience level.

I left feeling stronger, uplifted, and excited to come back. This is such a beautiful place for both adults and kids to connect with their bodies, build strength, and feel part of a loving community....
