Pros

Nice location near the ocean

Cons

Beth, the owner, makes the company culture horrible. She does not know anything about yoga or yoga culture and created a lot of drama amongst her employees and other YogaSix locations not allowing everyone to work as a community. She also charges ClassPass members additional money to take class at her locations in Dana Point and Ladera Ranch. She does not listen to feedback and provides a toxic work environment and treats her employees like crap. There has been a turn over of instructors and employees at her locations since they have opened and runs her businesses like a dictator. She does not provide diversity, is not accommodating, and treats her employees badly. Other YogaSix locations in Orange County are great to work for, but unfortunately the Dana Point and Ladera Ranch locations are filled with drama and the owner and management operates under shady business practices and violating labor laws. If you are looking to teach for YogaSix, stay away from these two locations and work at another location or another company. Only one studio and no showers or locker rooms. No feedback given to instructors and owner makes assumptions and does not have a relationship healthy relationship with employees.

Pros

* I believed in the brand. The YogaSix methodology is accessible, welcoming, and provides a strong foundation for introducing yoga to a wide range of students. *I had the opportunity to co-facilitate multiple Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) programs, which was one of the most rewarding aspects of my experience. Supporting aspiring teachers and watching them develop their confidence was incredibly fulfilling. *I enjoyed mentoring and onboarding new instructors, leading trainings, and helping teachers build the skills needed to succeed in the studio environment. *I met many talented, passionate, students who genuinely cared about creating a positive community. Those relationships were one of the highlights of my time with the company.

Cons

Leadership lacked consistency and accountability. Communication from management was often unclear, expectations shifted without explanation, and decisions appeared inconsistent. This created an environment where employees struggled to trust leadership. *High turnover created an unstable workplace. During my time with the organization, I witnessed what appeared to be nearly complete annual turnover across both management and staff. The constant departures made it difficult to maintain strong teams, preserve institutional knowledge, or provide a consistent experience for employees and members. *Business growth appeared to take priority over operational stability. My impression was that the company continued to heavily promote and sell Yoga Teacher Training programs while unresolved issues with leadership consistency, instructor continuity, and employee retention remained. I believe addressing these operational challenges first would have better served both employees and trainees.
