Debra’s chair yoga class at noon on Mondays never fails to support something that my body needs. It’s those fine and secondary muscles she seems to address when I didn’t know I needed it. She’s good.

I did Jen Suchman’s outdoor yoga at Buddy Todd Park in Oceanside and I loved it! Jen is so talented and also approachable. I’m 57 and I suck at yoga but Jen helped me modify and I got so much out of the class! It’s very open and not intimidating yet I can feel the good it did my body. Every pose is given with alternatives so all levels have an amazing class. It’s also so lovely to be in such a lovely spot on a Saturday morning. Do it- you’ll love it!

Excellent chair yoga class (Mellow Cats with Debra) with lots of different poses that are done seated and standing with students choosing best options for themselves. Teacher has large repertoire of poses and exercises and nice pacing with clear instructions that allow students to work on strength and flexibility. Different level options are suggested as students engage in the different practices, creating a safe, appropriate experience for everyone.

After several years without Yoga in my life, I recently joined a Cat Medley Mixed Level class via zoom. Much to my relief the instructor, as well as students, welcomed me with gusto resulting
in melting my nerves that I wasn't "up to it". I also was delighted that the instructor provided options based on the student's assessment of their fitness level. All in all, this experience was
a great omen that Yoga can be essential to my life.

I'm very new to yoga. I've attended a couple of different classes. So far this one is my favorite. My video had to refresh several times but it was a problem on my end. I will definitely be a regular.
Thank you for explaining so well.

Husband and I were looking for a new health-focused activity for our weekends, and the outdoor Saturday class did not disappoint! Jennifer was super helpful with both of us (newbies) and tailored the class to meet our needs. We will definitely be making this part of our weekend routine.

I just finished another Mellow Cats class with Debra Hodgen at Shanti Kittie via Zoom and she never has the same class twice. Today she led us in some fantastic asanas that were new and opened up the hips, adductors and gave us a forward stretch. You won’t be disappointed if you want to try out her class. I never am and I’ve been following her for years. Sande

I attended a 2 p.m. Shanti Kitti Yoga class at Heritage Park in Oceanside today. Couldn't ask for a nicer venue! It was spacious, charming, and clean with lots of shade. Sophia offered an excellent all-levels class. I love the way she introduces doable modifications before suggesting more challenging options. Her music was nice too. Highly recommend!

Sofia brought the perfect blend of gentleness and challenge to the experience. As a teacher myself of 15 years I’m hard to impress. I found myself not only impressed with her style of teaching but genuinely healed and inspired! A treat for cat lovers or anyone that just enjoys good yoga in a lovely atmosphere.

Really great yoga programs! They are attentive, small in class size, and acre about proper poses and movements gor full restoration. Highly recommend checking them out! A lot of my lower back pain issues were reduced doing these sessions. Also, it is apparent that the instructors love what they do and care about their work and how it affects learners.

I not only LIKE it, I love, Love, LOVE it at Shanti Kitti Yoga. You definitely feel like a part of a family there--the owners and teachers are terrific; and there is no pressure to overachieve. Everyone is accepted at their own level. I live in CA and MI and have tried several yoga studios. This is absolutely my favorite for the reasons above and many more. Come and join us!

On a seemingly forgotten area of Oceanside, stands Shanti Kitty Yoga. I first heard of this place about 3 years ago when I found out my favorite yoga teacher, Sophia Ludyjan, from (then Fitness 19 gym) had finally opened her own yoga studio.
It’s easy to find and parking is readily available. There is a generous amount of shelving for you to place your belongings. The practice room is large, bare walls (no mirrors), and minimal decorations. Props like blocks, straps, and blankets are provided while mats are rented. The room can be heated or cooled.
All the classes that I have tried so far feature an ideal balance of stretching and seated meditation. Many of the teachers begin class welcoming requests but they usually come prepared with a theme—whether it’s focusing on a specific muscle group, body region, or working toward a more challenging pose.
I enjoy Sophia’s sense of humor as she leads a relaxing and yet challenging class. Unlike previous yoga classes I have taken, Sophia calmly explains tips that allow me to check in with my body as I work through a pose. Her instruction has taught me to notice and question which muscles participate in different movements. I can focus my attention inward and avoid injury. She never overwhelms students with the Sanskrit terms but instead casually mentions them; I’ve begun to learn the names and pronunciations effortlessly. I am especially impressed with her ability to provide modifications to accommodate various physical injuries and discomforts. She ends each practice with a small performance on meditation bowls and a thoughtful reading.
I always leave class thankful for attending.

This club has been part of our daily lives for the past two years. Both my husband and I have appreciated the personal attention we've receive in both body and mind yoga. The instructors are especially knowledgeable and professional in addressing people over 50. Their gentle and motivating approach has helped us improve our body strength and flexibility.

Shanti Kitti is the hidden gem of Yoga studios in the Oceanside area. Maybe it's the close proximity of the San Luis Rey mission, or the welcoming vibes of the teachers, either way, the place has that special je ne sais quoi you want to support the mind/body connection required for a strong yoga practice.
Sophia's teaching style reflects her extensive training. Her classes are carefully playful. Expect to leave in a state of yoga bliss, so drive carefully.
