YogaSix Point Loma — Attraction in San Diego

I just wanted to share my bad experience in a hot yoga class last night at the Point Loma location with an instructor named, Amanda Lowery that really didn't sit well with me. I attend yoga class for a mental, physical, and creative release and instead I left the class feeling horrible and thinking that I no longer want to practice at any Yoga6 anymore after attending on and off for the last 3-5 years. I've been doing yoga for 10 years and I've never felt as horrible as Amanda has made me feel last night.I honestly was stunned and did not know how to respond.

Long story short, I was told by Amanda to stop doing advance transitions in an all levels hot yoga class because it was confusing for other members in class and furthermore she said other instructors might feel the same way and I should go in the corner or the back of the room if I wanted to do so. I was shocked. I've always been told this is our yoga practice and to listen to your body and make it your own yoga practice on the mat. While I didn't steer away from the sequence, I added a variation to challenge myself ( both body and mind). People do all sorts of different variations and handstands throughout class and yet I am singled out? Why should I worry about other patrons yoga practice when I'm focusing on my own practice and my intention ? I do not go to yoga to worry about anyone else's practice but my own. I am usually only able to attend the class times that hot yoga falls in and since I know the sequence by heart, I challenge my practice by adding more because how else do you grow in your practice if you stay the same?

It's a very hard decision for me to cancel my membership as I do know there are some really great instructors there but the fact that Amanda told me ," other instructors feel the same", makes me feel like my yoga practice is no longer welcome at Yoga6. All my favorite instructors have already left this studio ( janelle, Gabrielle, Jen). And if she is a reflection of the studio, this is not the type of yoga studio I want to be a part of. Where she is concerned with the looks of her boot camp hot yoga class. If I wanted to stick to a strict sequence, I would've booked a bikram class .

If you are new to yoga or if you like to go for the fitness aspect , this is probably the spot to go to but as you get more in tune with your practice and get rid of the ego and find your true yoga practice, you will have to go somewhere else. I will be choosing to switch over to house of yogi instead. It's like night and day and an entirely different community that will truly hone...

I had a really frustrating experience at YogaSix, and unfortunately, I won’t be returning. I arrived for my very first class about 5 minutes early, but the whole process was confusing from the start. The back entrance had a sign directing me to the front, but the Google Maps location put YogaSix on the side of the building, making it tricky to navigate if you're not familiar with the Liberty Station area.

I eventually found the right entrance at 7:33pm (class started at 7:30), only to find the door locked. I knocked, tried opening the door, and called the studio — no answer. I also texted the number they said would give a quicker response, but still no help. Finally, at 7:36pm, someone from a previous class left, so I was able to get inside.

There was still no front desk help. When the front desk woman finally appeared, she rolled her eyes at me before I even had a chance to explain. I asked if I could still join the class (by this time I was 10 minutes late), and she continued to be rude, claiming the door was closed at 7:35 (which doesn’t line up with when I was there). Her dismissive attitude and lack of support made for a completely unwelcoming experience.

I’m really disappointed with how this was handled, and I won’t be coming back.

Customer service is not that hard! I understand not letting members in past a certain amount of time, but the attitude of the young brunette woman completely turned me off of all YogaSix studios.

Overall, the vibe was arrogant. They are very unwelcoming...

To future members: YogaSix is a beautiful studio when life is stable and a put bill doesn't paralyze you from following protocol. But if you ever experience a true crisis—particularly one involving physical or mental trauma—be aware that their billing department operates with the same rigidity and insensitivity you might expect from a collection agency, not a wellness center.

I attended YogaSix for almost six months and truly loved the studio—the instructors, the classes, and the atmosphere. Unfortunately, my experience took a difficult turn after I suffered a severe mental health crisis following a traumatic event. I was viciously attacked by a pit bull at my workplace and then terminated just five days later. The combination of physical trauma, legal stress, and emotional collapse left me unable to leave my home or handle basic communication for a period of time.

I take full accountability for not following the proper cancellation procedures during that time. However, what has been disheartening is how YogaSix’s billing department handled the situation. I was repeatedly contacted and pressured for payment.

The amount in question is $268, which I am willing to pay, but the lack of compassion and humanity shown throughout this process is deeply disappointing especially coming from a space that promotes mindfulness, empathy, and wellness. A yoga studio should stand for more than policies and payment deadlines; it should reflect the values it teaches on the...
