Movement/Yoga (Sarah 2)

Had a yoga class with Jessie in February and have never had such a challenging yet relaxing class! Walking in I was immediately greeted and shown around the facility! The yoga room it's self is so peaceful. Our particular class focused on releasing our hips. I do a lot of weight lifting as well and this was an excellent stretch with strength challenge as well! At the end of the class there is a mini neck massage with peppermint oil to relax you and leave the class feeling calm, empowered and renewed! Go to a class with Jessie! Absolutely incredible!

Movement/Yoga (RCC)

This place has been such a gift! When diagnosed with breast cancer and headed for the hardest year of my life, I discovered Saffron at just the right moment. My membership included Yoga passes, one spiritual direction and one massage each month. I can't tell you how important all of those pieces were on my path through fighting cancer. Cristin, the owner, was my Spiritual Director and Ashley was my masseuse and they both were incredible. The space is beautifully designed, the team is always welcoming and kind, and all of the practitioners are top notch. I can't say enough about it!!! Thank you Saffron and Sage, and for offering all sorts of beautiful modalities in pursuing health and wholeness!

Movement/Yoga (MacKenzie)

This review is long over due, but I still think about Saffron and Sage often and felt drawn to write something. I relocated to San Diego for a brief period and during that time I was not in a good place both mentally and physically, having found myself in a very unhealthy relationship. I came across Saffron and Sage while I was looking for a yoga studio and they were hosting a challenge - whoever attended the most classes in a month won a membership. Well I found myself there 2 or 3 times a day, almost everyday and I honestly can't thank the amazing women and souls there enough. The safety and comfort that community gave me helped me navigate through one of my darkest times. It was a place where I felt welcome and encouraged to be myself.

Movement/Yoga (Brianna)

A close friend has been recommending Saffron and Sage services to me for over a year now. This past Monday evening I attended my first event. It was exactly what I needed to relieve any physical and mental stress going on during this time. I went to the Heart Opening Yoga and Sound Bath at Estancia La Jolla, lead by Jessie. Jessie was amazing at recommending slight adjustments so the positions were most beneficial to each person. I will definitely be attending more classes/events in the future.

Movement/Yoga (Sarah)

I was in search of a yoga studio to help reconnect myself to my spiritual and yogic practice. I am so incredibly grateful that I found Saffron and Sage! You can feel the magic the moment you step through the door! In addition to yoga/meditation classes, they also offer a plethora of alternative medicine options to help reconnect the body, mind, and spirit. I love my acupuncture sessions with Ana, as well as yoga with Gabriel and Jessie! You absolutely will not be disappointed if you choose Saffron and Sage as for any (or all!) of your holistic wellness needs.

Movement/Yoga (Kali)

Saffron and Sage is AMAZING, a true Sanctuary of healing and wellness. The studio itself is absolutely stunning; you can't help but feel transported into a nordic spa in this little lap of luxury and the teachers/guides are bar-none. The Yin class with Rob was literally the most healing, energy shifting Yoga class I've ever been to. Cannot wait until I get to San Diego again - this will be my first stop!

Movement/Yoga (Jason)

I was on vacation and happened to be staying across the street. I went to a couple of different morning yoga classes and had a great experience. Friendly welcoming staff and the yoga instructors were awesome. Décor is light and calming. It made my entire vacation better. Thank You!

Movement/Yoga (Suguna)

Great space and very kind staff. I tried the strengthening yoga class and the small class size meant lots of personal attention. Thank you!
- Suguna

Movement/Spiritual (Christiana)

From the moment you walk in the door, the aura of Saffron & Sage greets you with a peace and serenity, welcoming each person on their unique path of healing. I've been a member since October 2017, attending regular yoga classes and monthly Spiritual Direction. The inner strength, wisdom and wellness I've experienced has shifted my life deeply. The staff are kind and gracious, the classes are progressive and personal, the leadership is sincere and innovative and I look forward to participating in more and more socials, classes and events in the coming months.

Movement/Acupuncture (Sandy)

At Saffron & Sage I attended Stretch Therapy, Meditation Therapy and experienced an Acupuncture session. First off, the environment is clean, pleasing to the eye and welcoming. The practitioners are warm and wonderful at active listening. They care about what you share and target the needs of your body. I left relaxed, refreshed and ready to take on the world! I would highly recommend visiting Saffron & Sage. I do not live in the San Diego area, but would like to return in the future.
