Inner Harmony

I used to go to this place when Fran (the original owner) was teaching. It was my first experience with yoga and Fran was amazing. She was such an inspiring, gentle woman and she’s a free flying angel now. I’m sure that her successor is just as awesome, but I need to check it out before I can say for sure. I’ll update somtime :)

I was very skeptical of taking any Yoga class… but I’m so glad that when I finally decided to do it… it was @ Inner Harmony. The set up is so well organized, clean and welcoming. I love that it’s not a «drop in» studio and also the doors are closed after the start of the class to promote concentration. I have a «AAA» personality and these classes bring me so much calm and relaxation that I usually walk out feeling like a «C» personality. The prices are extremely reasonable. Kari is an awesome instructor… but, my biggest PLUS and the reason for the 5 stars is that Kari also gives back to the community by having continuous fundraisers for different organizations throughout San Pedro.
– Awesome classes
–Awesome instructor
–I wouldn’t go anywhere else now…

I knew I’d finally found ‘my’ yoga studio when i attended Kari’s free intro session a year ago. At last, a yoga teacher who is gifted at teaching AND never forgets how the real world challenges us daily to find peace and stay calm. Kari gets it because she’s lived it. This studio is lovely and intimate and serene. There are NO mirrors:)! Because it’s Pedro, it attracts interesting and down-​to-​earth people. You can come and simply meditate – or you can join in and make friends here easily – it’s your choice and there’s no pressure. As mentioned in another review, each Inner Harmony class session sponsors a charity which simply feels deep down good. Finally, if you don’t think you can get ‘still’ enough for Yoga, or will in some way be embarrassed by what your body can’t do — visit Inner Harmony. I thought both of these were true for me – one year later, I can’t wait for my yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

I cannot say enough about Kari and her studio! I was a little nervous about starting a yoga class, but from the moment I walked into Inner Harmony I was relieved. It is a nice, cozy, clean studio already set up with mats, towel rolls, and blankets to make you comfortable while practicing your yoga moves.
Kari stresses the fact that you can «personalize» the moves she teaches in order to better accommodate your body, physical fitness level, and flexibility. There are both sexes, all ages, and varied body types that attend these classes… everyone fits in!
I have taken her beginners series (definitely recommended) and continued into two more Level 1 series. This will be my final series :(as I am moving to Hawaii :)
I hope I can find another studio that is half as good as this one!
