Kianna's intuitive movement class is my absolute favorite.
She holds a beautiful, safe, sacred space for expression and guides a therapeutic somatic release through music and movement. The Swell community is kind and accepting and the culture is nurturing and inspiring. I hope to join one of her transformational retreats in the near future.

Swell is such a refuge. Amber is the best instructor I've taken a yoga/barre class from - anywhere. She brings together a rare combination of deep embodied and scholarly knowledge (across multiple modalities) with incredible heart and attunement. Each class is bit of a work of art, thought out in a way that puts the body, mind and spirit together in a series of building, interlocking puzzles. To this she adds her amazing and ever-changing playlists that make each class a thing of alchemy.

I have practiced yoga at many studios across the country and this beautiful space (with such amazing teachers) offers more than you can imagine. Maria, the owner, opened this studio during such a challenging year and has successfully created a safe place for anyone, at any level, to come and bring their breath to the mat. The studio offers such a variety of classes from hot yoga, vinyasa, yin, barre, meditation and more! So anyone looking to find a supporting community, a personal pause from life’s chaos and/or explore something new, this is the place to be. I am grateful for this studio! Oh and the views from the El Granada location are breathtaking, whether it’s a sunrise, sunset, or fog over the harbor view!

Absolutely loved every moment of the class. If you ever have a moment to practice here, seize it. I am a daily yoga practitioner, and this studio truly embodied the beauty of yoga asana.

I went to Swell Yoga when I was visiting from out of town and loved the class I took. Maria was so welcoming, and the studio was very clean. I typically take vinyasa style classes, but the hot yoga class I took was well cued and Maria led a great practice. If I am ever back in town, I will definitely go back!

Only the best incarnation of yoga studio that has ever manifested in this space (and I’ve been a member of all of them). Such a wonderful, deep bench of wise teachers, each with something unique to offer. The great variety of classes offered holds space for all levels of yoga practitioners. In the short time I’ve practiced with Swell, I have deepened my practice and love of yoga immensely.

I absolutely love swell yoga. The room itself is spacious, minimalistic, and well set with candles, and bulb lights. The environment is more than welcoming - but encouraging. Not to mention all of the teachers' ability to communicate, demonstrate, and motivate their students - the professionalism at this business is top tier. I have enjoyed every single class I have taken and am so excited to try more. If I were to describe this place in three words it would be relaxing, peaceful, and quality. I have yet to come across another yoga studio as amazing as this one. I recommend this studio to everyone. :)

I am thrilled to have Swell Yoga a mile from me! The classes are great, small, and varied--I'm enrolled in three different classes each week. The prices are reasonable. I feel safe with their COVID protocol.

This is a beautiful space with a great view of the harbor from class. Maria has managed this studio so we’ll from opening in the pandemic through all the changes in regulations. She has prioritized the safety and well being of all students to create a safe space for all. There is a great variety of available classes with pricing options to fit any practitioner.

I take Jess' class on Thursday evenings. I especially like the low pace and the long pauses. It gives me a change to really feel the stretches in my body, without getting stressed or off balance. And yes, I am now able to breathe through it all! I also love the location, and its
present reformation to a very much appreciated yoga haven.

Swell is an exquisite studio that meets you where you are. Want to wade in to a class here and there? It’s here for you, with everything from slow, candlelit yin/restorative classes, to hardcore, push-through-the-26-in-an-hour sweat sessions. Want to deepen your love story with yoga, with daily classes or even a teacher training? They’ll greet you with open arms and incredible, expert, caring teachers. You also cannot beat the airy, bright, minimalist, breezy studio looking out over the ocean. It’s a dream, and it’s so clear the owner Maria has poured her whole heart into it! A high point of Half Moon Bay life, and a destination spot for our friends who visit the coast.

We all have a place that deserves recognition and acclaim for the incredible experience that is delivered to their customers. And secretly, none of us want to share that place with the wider world for fear of the it losing its “touch” or growing too popular where we have to queue or can’t get that spot in the Friday night class. But the Swell team is just on top of their game and if the secret is out, we will be alright with it. From the owner Maria, to the teachers that show up every day, this is an incredible studio. As beginners, we were welcomed with open arms and hearts. The experienced yogis also gave us something to strive for! Something for everyone at Swell!

Being new to yoga, I didn't know A from B. The instructor is a superb teacher, explaining unknownYoga terms, demonstrating poses, and providing props to assist difficult moves. Tried other studios in the past, never returned. This place is interested in your well being.

Swell yoga studio has become a sweet place of escape during these freaky times. Maria and her team take all the precautions to keep patrons safe while still creating an environment that is peaceful, comfortable and relaxing. If you're one to say so, the "vibes" are on point here. Seriously, I couldn't recommend this studio enough - I tell everyone I know about it!

I was so happy when I heard Maria was opening Swell yoga! She was my instructor on Friday evenings prior to Covid, and I always looked forward to her classes! Now with her own studio, and all the beautiful changes she has made, it’s even better! I prefer the hot yoga, helps with my joints and stiffness, and I sleep so much better afterward! She has been so conscientious about following all the Covid protocol, I always feel safe and protected. Classes are small due to the rules, but she keeps adding more to accommodate all. Try it out, I think you’ll be as pleased as I am!

I have not always been a fan of hot yoga but taking Maria’s classes has totally changed my perspective and experience. I love the music, the attention to detail (and safety), and the thoughtful instruction. And, you can’t beat the view of the ocean!

A beautiful space with a wide offering of yoga styles across from the sea = perfection. I’m a novice, but instructors have always paced things well to include, while providing ample pace and programs for more advanced yogi. Such a good feel and thoughtful accommodation for the current pandemic conditions with small, spaced class groups, masks and customizable “pods” to minimize risks. A lovely spot for coastside yoga. ‘Swell done!

The best way to describe Swell Yoga is that it is an oasis during this crazy time! Maria and her team have a vision and are committed to quality, health, community, and a sprinkle of fun. I have been attending Hot yoga classes and am struck by the joy Maria brings to her teaching...and don't even get me started on her amazing playlists :) If you are worried about COVID I would say that you are in good hands at Swell. They are following all the protocols and I feel very safe and cared for.

I know aesthetics aren’t Everything when it comes to a yoga studio, but Swell Yoga has nailed it. From the twinkle lights to the healthy plants and from the clean white walls to the sustainable cork floors, it’s both joyful and healing just to walk through the sweet Dutch door. COVID protocols are taken seriously with very small classes and lots of spacing so i felt safe. The hot classes are lovely and cozy especially as temperatures begin to drop. And that harbor view ... time it for sunset if you can!
