Read moreAffirmations of Wellness is hands down the most amazing yoga studio I’ve ever been to in North County. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming—you feel at ease the moment you walk in.
I especially love attending the Yoga Lunch Hour on Mondays at 12pm with Corynne. Not only is Corynne one of the owners, but she’s also an incredible instructor who truly cares about her clients.

Her passion and dedication create such a comforting and supportive atmosphere—it honestly feels like a second home.
