Have you ever wondered if there’s really a difference between yoga studios?

At first glance, they might all seem the same—poses, mats, and the promise of peace. But not every yoga space is created equal. And we’re not saying one yoga studio is better than another—each has its own unique approach.

Some studios focus on physical alignment and precision, making you feel like you need to be super flexible to join. Others move quickly with fast-paced, high-energy flows that might leave you struggling to keep up. Some may focus mostly on the physical practice of yoga, but you’ve been seeking something deeper. Or maybe you’ve tried other studios and didn’t feel like you belonged—or thought yoga was only for a certain type of person.

But it doesn’t have to be like this.

It is possible to find a studio where you feel comfortable just as you are.
Where being flexible isn’t a prerequisite, and everything is made adaptable to your needs.Where you can move at a pace that feels right for you—whether that’s faster or slower.
Where the focus isn’t just on the physical practice, but on connecting to the deeper roots of yoga.

Cala Azul Yoga Collective is on a mission to create a space where anyone—whether you’re just starting out or have been practicing for years—can show up exactly as they are.
Here, you can practice yoga without worrying about fitting in, being flexible enough, keeping up with the class, or feeling out of place. We’re here to support you on your journey—wherever that may be.

We’re focused on being accessible, inclusive, and offering more than just physical postures. We aim to teach the full depth of yoga—the philosophy and principles that guide the practice—so you can integrate its wisdom into every aspect of your life.

Are you ready to experience yoga in a way that truly fits you? Come try a class and feel the difference.

Meet Erika, our grounding guide and newest teacher at Cala Azul Yoga Collective.

Erika’s yoga journey began in search of something to ground her—something that would help her find balance in a demanding, high-stress life. She had no idea over 10 years ago that it would lead her to become more connected to herself and discover not only strength but also a deep sense of peace and clarity in her mind, body, and soul.

At first, yoga felt intimidating as she struggled with the idea that it was only for certain body types, skill levels, or those well-versed in yogic philosophy. As her practice deepened, she realized that yoga was about meeting herself where she was, embracing her imperfections, and discovering inner stillness through breath and movement. This shift in perspective completely changed her approach as a student and later became the foundation of her teaching.

As a teacher, Erika’s goal is to make yoga accessible to everyone—without the pressure to fit into a specific mold. She strives to create a space where students feel empowered to explore their practice with curiosity and compassion, offering modifications and variations so everyone can participate in a way that feels both supportive and empowering.

Whether someone is new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Erika is here to help them connect to their body, cultivate mindfulness, and build confidence in a way that supports their unique journey. She invites students to join her on the mat to explore the transformative power of yoga✨💙

Have you ever really wondered what yoga is actually all about?

You’ve likely heard about “yoga,” whether from photos in magazines, social media, or a friend telling you that they attend weekly yoga classes. Based on what you’ve seen, you might think yoga is simply a stretching class designed to make you more flexible, with some fancy breathing added in—and that you’re supposed to leave feeling less stressed and refreshed.

Maybe you’ve thought about attending a class but decided against it, feeling that it isn’t accessible to you or your body as you don’t fit the image of the flexible, young person seen in social media. Or perhaps you don’t understand the hype? After all, it just seems like another kind of workout or stretching program—and they all advertise that they’re good for you and your health. So, what makes yoga more special than Pilates or a HIIT class?

It isn’t that yoga is a better workout or better in general—in fact, yoga isn’t about exercise. Yoga is much more than just the physical poses you see or hear about; it has a whole philosophy behind it, and its true focus is on the mind. The physical postures are tools within this philosophy, guiding you towards greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner stillness.

At its core, yoga is defined as “chitta vritti nirodha,” which translates to “the restriction of the fluctuations of the mind.” This means that the ultimate goal of yoga is not about flexibility or mastering specific poses; it’s about calming the mind, gaining a deeper understanding of your thoughts, and recognizing how those thought patterns influence your decisions and life experiences. Yoga offers a pathway to self-awareness and inner peace.

For those who’ve tried yoga or haven’t yet—does knowing it’s focused on inner stillness rather than just flexibility make you more curious to explore it?

If you’re ready to experience yoga as more than a workout, join one of our classes and discover how it can support your mind as much as your body.

“No mud, no lotus” - Thich Nhat Hanh

A lotus flower can only grow in the mud, and without the mud, the beauty of the lotus flower will not emerge. It is a symbol of purity and rebirth.

Just like in our lives, without first knowing suffering, we cannot come to know compassion, understanding and love. It is through the adversity that we experience in life that we can mature, grow and become more beautiful in our own ways 🪷✨

We're excited to offer sound healing with Emilie.
If you're new to sound healing, here's a brief description: Sound healing brings balance to the body and whole being by using singing bowls, shamanic drums, and other instruments to stimulate your relaxation response, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. It can release stress, fatigue, and energetic blockages within the body, helping regulate blood pressure, hormones, and the nervous system. This promotes relaxation and connection with one's inner self.

Book your session with Emilie through us! ✨
