Namaste Fitness

And just like that, Namaste Fitness Eastlake turns 2!!!
We made it!!

And what a better way to celebrate our anniversary, Summer days and an amazing community than with fun Picnic at the Park!!!

We have officially completed the first 2 years and we have to say, they’ve been incredible, and we want all of you to join us in celebrating!!!
We are more than grateful for your continued support and love over these 2 years, always the hardest ones for a business, but we know we have the best students and community because we really are a family.

We often hear how much our students love spending time with other students and staff, so we thought, why not get together like the big family that we are, and do what families do: hang out, eat, play games, have great conversations, build memories.

On Sunday July 12 we will have our First Family Picnic at Mountain Hawk Park from 10 am to 4 pm. There will be food, drinks, games and lots of FUN just like Namaste Fitness knows how to do!!

This is event is for all Namaste Fitness members and staff and their families, we are asking to enroll to the “event” just so we can have an approximate headcount for space and goodies. RSVP on our website under events or on our app under Enrollments to confirm your attendance.

We are inviting everyone to bring your favorite food, snacks and drinks Potluck style to share with your family and with other guests. We will have coolers with ice, drinks and water and bites to share as well.

Since this is a family-friendly and outdoor event, please do not bring glass bottles and be mindful of alcohol consumption.

Set up for canopies, tents and tables can start at 8 am, our space is Picnic area MTN-C & MT-D and you will see our permits that morning. Bring blankets, games for kids and adults, sunscreen, hats and anything else you need.

Don’t forget there’s a splash area for the kids, so pack swimsuits and towels as well.

We are so excited and we want to see you there, hope you can make it, and hey, if everyone loves it, we might make it an annual thing like many of our annual events!!! Namaste.

The sweetest Saturday 🍋🍋🍪🍪🍭🍭

THANK YOU for making our “Lemonade for Wishes” day a HUGE success!!!!

Thank you for allowing us to set up our stand and invite customers to participate in this initiative 💙.

Thank you Michelle and Gio and the entire Giannone family for your tireless hard work and energy put into the day.

Thank you to the parents that brought their kiddos to be part of our lemonade stand for cultivating their own sense of leadership, altruism and kindness towards others.

Thank you to our staff for helping with set up, management and take down of the stand as well as helping with sales, clean up and customer service 💛.

Thank you to our kiddos and Volunteer who came and support a cause dear to your and our hearts.

Thank you to our vendors for your generous donations without you this literally wouldn’t have been as amazing!

Thank you to everyone that helped us spread the word, sharing on social media, passing out flyers, and telling your friends to come support.

And lastly, Thank you to everyone that contributed financially to the cause, buying lemonade, cookies, bidding on the silent auctions or simply donating directly to our fundraiser, you helped us raise $2,333!!!!! Taking our grand total so far for the year of $3,361… our goal is $30,000 by October, every penny counts!!!

This shows us how the power of community is strong and can move mountains.

Thank you to everyone who chooses to be part of Namaste Fitness and what it stands for. Our idea is to leave this world better than how we found it, one class, one training, one retreat, one event, one smile at a time.

Join us for upcoming events, when one child with a chronic illness gets a break from it through a wish, we can all smile with them. Namaste.

Happy Thursday!!!

Starting the month off right!!!!
We know it’s a busy week with lots of Summer activities that begin, but we’re so proud of everyone showing up for classes!!!! You’ve been filling up our rooms many times a day and giving it your best!!!! 💪🏼

We keep seeing groups of students coming together to classes, either friends, families, mom groups, even coworkers coming together take care of themselves, we LOVE IT!!!
Many of these groups have started here in our rooms 🥹 and have flourished into more outside our space. KEEP IT GOING. Humans thrive in community, holding supportive relationships based on respect, positivity and kindness.

We’re not like other studios, we aren’t about the cute mirror selfie (although we looove it when you do that, makes us feel so proud 😊), not about perfection or color coordinated classes and aesthetics, we are about real people, real relationships that transcend the mat, real workouts that challenge you in the ways you need, real human interactions between teachers and students that nurture growth, self-love and self-acceptance; REAL actions to create a positive impact in the community and its members.
We are in it for the wellbeing of the community.

So, sign up for classes, come experience all this for yourself, see you soon. Namaste.

“You and me, we’re in a club now”… 🎈

These beautiful ladies are representing the and we couldn’t be more proud of them!!!

The dedication, commitment and passion that goes into this achievement is something we admire. To stay consistent with your own personal practice is sometimes harder than being present for others.

We are grateful for our community, for choosing us to be their safe space to grow and to heal.
Our commitment to providing the tools for our students to reach their wellness goals has and will continue to be based on compassion, kindness, acceptance and respect.

Congratulations ladies, keep moving forward, keep working on yourself and your wellness, peace of mind and health; keep inspiring other men and women to practice self-compassion and self-care, keep showing up even when the day gives you every reason not to… on those difficult days, allow yourself to show up authentically and meet yourself where you are, at Namaste Fitness you have a special place just for you.

To a thousand more, Namaste.

We will be there at opening at 11 am through 7 pm serving up the bubbly, but if you want to join us for the special “Happy shopping Hour” come between 3 and 7 pm so you can enjoy hors d’oeuvres with your bubbly while you shop!!

We will have a photo area, you’ll get to meet some of the staff and with purchase, you will receive a very special note from Make-A-Wish so that every time you wear your pieces, you can remember that you made a difference 💙.

Please RSVP by emailing [email protected] so we can be ready for you when you come in!! You can also DM us so we can add you to the list.

We want to have a HEFTY donation and you can help us achieve that!

For questions, contact us or the store directly.

Ana and the team will be happy to see you there, Namaste.

And here you have the 2026 Generation of Vinyasa Yoga Teachers that graduated from Namaste Fitness training!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

We are SO proud of all of them and we are so excited to see where their journey takes them next!!

If you’ve seen them around our studios in the last few months, you’ve noticed they have been taking classes, observing classes and spending time for many weeks learning, practicing and soaking up as much as they could so they now can be the person at the front of the room helping others feel their very best.

We have a few trainings coming up this year, from Fitness to Yoga and even Thai Massage, so, if you have the passion to share the message of wellness, the need to spread the message of self-love and the intention to learn ways to give back to the community to improve their wellness, sign up for one or more trainings, we always need more healers, caregivers, magic makers… amazing humans that can make the world better.

Congratulations new teachers, enjoy the journey!!!! Namaste.

This is EXACTLY how you feel when you take our classes with intention, practice what you learn on the mat, off the mat; when you put effort into living a better life, into feeling well and healthy. This is the feeling when you meet our staff and students, and build relationships beyond the mat, beyond the physical practice. This is how we want you to experience life thanks to Namaste Fitness.

As the warmer season begins, we invite you to stay present and connected and not leave behind the practice that shouldn’t be seasonal but rather, consistent and steady.

Join us for classes this week, we know lots of activities are happening… school, graduations, summer trips, etc, but make sure your practice to feel WELL is not compromised. Let’s make the time to take care of YOU above all, so you can show up for everyone else at your fullest.
Classes 7 days a week, starting at 5 am and ending at 8 pm, in two locations… we know the “your classes don’t fit my schedule” reason is not really a valid one 😉 so show up and love on yourself lots!!!

Oh yeah, and if you want to achieve full levitation, just ask how she achieved that 😜.

Have a wonderful Saturday, Namaste.

Summer is coming and what better way to stay cool and feel refreshed than with a delicious cold fresh squeezed lemonade!!!! 🍋🍋‍🟩🍋

Yes! A good ol’ lemonade stand ran by your local neighborhood kiddos!!

Join us on Saturday June 6 from 8 am to 1 pm at our Otay Ranch location for lemonade, fruit and cookies!!
If you have plans for the day, no worries, come and pick up, we’ll have everything ready to take on the go!

This lemonade stand is extra special because every dollar will go towards our fundraiser “United in strength, Gio and Namaste Strong” for to help us reach our goal of $30,000. Every dollar counts.

We are excited to see everyone there, please share this with your friends and family, in your stories, with your school, in your sports teams, etc. Let’s come together for a cause close to home, because a lot of the kiddos who are receiving wishes are from our very own community.

Thank you to everyone that has already messaged us to volunteer at the stand, thank you to those of you donating goodies and thank you in advance to everyone that’s making plans to come shop.

If you can’t make it at all that day, please go to the link in our profile or to our website and donate directly $1, $2, $5 or more to our fundraiser.

Thank you to for originating the cookies for sale!!! A business with a wonderful product 🍪 and a heart of gold 💛.
Last time you sold them out, come do the same and see your money grant some wishes for deserving kids!!

One person can only do so much, but a group of many can change the world.

See you June 6, Namaste.

“The mother of all props”: The Yoga Wall.

It’s sometimes hard to describe how amazing this prop is, you really have to experience it yourself!!

Yoga Walls are meant to be used for therapeutic purposes, mostly to assist with spine issues but the entire body benefits from their use.
It helps decompress the spine, assist in deep stretching, provide stability for balancing, and allow practitioners to hold inversions safely without joint pressure. The use of straps, bars and harnesses provides support and safety as students build strength and hold poses without the fear of falling or losing their balance.

We are the only studio in the South Bay to offer these walls, our Otay location has the Yoga Walls room, we offer classes several times a week, if you haven’t experienced this amazing practice, we encourage you to do so as soon as you can, you’re truly missing out on incredible feels!

We also have our Yoga Walls Teacher Training coming up on July 17, it’s open for Yoga Teachers who want to grow their teaching skills, it’s 2 weekends and you receive CEU’s from Yoga Alliance and certification for levels 1 & 2. Check out our website or app to enroll now!

All you need to bring to class is yourself, we have everything you need here! See you in class, Namaste.

And here we are, only 2 weeks away from our Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training graduation!!!!

Yes, we are SO excited to see this new generation of Yoga Teachers make it to the finish line after 3 mi hrs of hard work, dedication and growth.

Join us on Friday May 29 at 5:30 pm in our Otay studio and on Saturday May 30 at 10:45 am and 12 pm in our Eastlake studio to be part of their final classes. These are free classes for our community to come support them and share in the energy as they deliver their first official class to the public. Enroll through our app or online.

We’re missing one in this photo but we have to say we’ve very proud of these 6 individuals that have trusted us with their journey to develop as yoga instructors, and a special shout to Farrell for being our FIRST Male Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Trainee, soon to be Teacher that graduates from our training!!! Yassss!!

So, book your spot in class soon and come cheer these wonderful humans on!!

We start our Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training June 5, our Thai Massage Certification on June 13, Yoga Walls on July 17, Yin Yoga Teacher Training October 9 and TBarre X on November 6.
