Santa Cruz, California, is world renowned as a center of conscious living and learning. Located along the central California coast halfway between San Francisco and Big Sur and surrounded by pristine redwood forests, meadowland, and the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful natural setting of this place makes it wonderful for pausing, reflecting, and moving more consciously along your path.

Santa Cruz Yoga is the region’s premier yoga studio, offering a diverse schedule of classes, workshops, teacher trainings, retreats, and special events. Just a five–minute walk from West Cliff Drive, the studio is a short bike ride away from downtown, Natural Bridges State Park and Wilder Ranch State Park. It’s a short drive to deeper redwood forests in Henry Cowell and Big Basin State Parks. We are also blessed with world–class surf breaks, seemingly endless miles of mountain biking trails, and a variety of other outdoor adventure opportunities.
