Whether you are a budding yogi or a professional who can pretzel yourself into the most advanced poses, you know your body feels great after yoga class. Your muscles relax, the soreness dissipates, and your mind is finally calm.
Practicing yoga at home is great — in theory. But it can be hard to be disciplined enough to do it regularly. You may skip warming up, shorten the duration of the poses, or avoid the more complex movements, preventing yourself from getting the full benefit of the experience.
The Paseo Club is a social club in the Santa Clarita Valley. We offer over 60 fitness classes each week, including yoga. Our members love our yoga classes, but we know we are not the only resource in the Santa Clarita Valley.
In this article, we will share where the yoga studios are in the Santa Clarita Valley, what they offer, the pros and cons, and the costs of yoga classes.

Beginning your yoga practice
Yoga is a movement practice that combines stretching and strengthening movements with breathing to improve your fitness and calm your mind. People of all ages and abilities can do yoga because you can scale the poses according to your capacity.
Yoga increases flexibility, strengthens and tones muscles, minimizes injuries, relieves stress, and provides a sense of calm. For many people yoga is the perfect antidote to their hectic modern lives.
Paseo Club offers a diverse selection of classes so that members can always find what they are looking for — barre, Zumba, HIIT, weights, cardio, Pilates, or yoga. 
Paseo Club has four yoga classes:
- Beginner/Intermediate yoga is for people new to yoga and want to learn the fundamentals to strengthen and lengthen their bodies.
- Intermediate/advanced yoga is an exciting class to work on yoga sequences, balancing poses, light backbends, and twists.
- Light flows/therapeutics yoga focuses on deep breathing as you move through a slow yoga flow to build heat, endurance, flexibility, and strength.
- Therapeutic/Restorative yoga is a class for all tired, sore, and frazzled people looking for a gentle, soothing, and calming yoga practice.
The Paseo Club has tennis and pickleball courts, a junior Olympic pool, a cafe, and an onsite spa. Members enjoy exercising at the fitness facilities, grabbing a bite with a friend, or luxuriating with a massage from one of our two massage therapists.
