I really liked this place. Great vibe, open and the teachers are great too. I got a special deal from Groupon and it was literally heaven sent! It is hard to spot when you are driving by, but once you know where it's at, you'll want to be coming back! I'm ready to go back for more!

I've been going to North Valley Aikikai yoga classes for 2 years now. I can't say enough about their classes, the yoga instructors are knowledgeable in all levels from beginners to advance. The studio is spacious and clean. It's my true get away.

Stumbled upon this place with a yoga Groupon. Small studio very warm and welcoming for all ages. Correct teachings of poses and a great workout

We love this dojo. Sensei is so great with the kids. She’s very stern but fun at the same time. Kids learns so much discipline from her. My niece loved her aikido class and always looks forward to coming to her class. She initially had kids ages 4-8 in the same class but then it got too much and then have separated them up.

I highly recommend this studio very clean facility. Lee is a wonderful person. I love taking yoga class with ARI on sunday.. He was wonderful using a mix of breathing techniques, and directing us through how to inhale/exhale with each pose. The hour and a half flew by.• I like that ARI takes the time to walk around to check if you are aligned properly which is very important to me. This studio has a very easy parking.

Absolutely love it! This place is full of good energy. Truly relaxing with the practice. First time trial, and definitely go back for more. I purchased a groupon for 10 classes and waited until my third class to review. Their professionalism, teachers, business model, kindness, teachings, etc etc etc are AMAZING...and I can go on forever. Michelle and Cecilia are by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging. I've taken a few more of their classes since and each one has been different but just as fun and challenging.

I'm just getting back into yoga and the classes are very easy to get adjusted to. I wish I could be there more often because it really makes starting my day out with such a good feeling. It has really helped my breathing and relaxation. Making me more focused and in tuned with what my body is saying to me. I highly recommend Valley Aikikai for their great facility and instructors.

I've been going to yoga at North Valley Aikikai for about 8 months now. The benefits I've gained in strength, and mind are amazing! The teachers here are wonderful. Each has their own style, but all are attentive, caring, and motivating. The environment is one of encouragement and community awareness. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon these classes and most importantly, these wonderful people!

I love the yoga classes offered here. Ari and Michelle are great! The atmosphere is relaxing and non-competitive. I'm so glad to have such a wonderful studio close to where I live.

I've only been to the yoga class twice so far and it was great both times. Each time with a different instructor. The studio itself is very zen feeling and comfortable. The instructors will adjust you and put you in the proper position if you're doing a pose wrong; which is great so you don't hurt yourself and you get the most benefit from the pose. I'm looking forward to my next class!

Had a great experience attending my first yoga class here. The atmosphere of the place was awesome for fellow Yogis. Something about the place helps you relax. Referred a few friends to try the yoga here. Some were even interested in taking Aikikai!

Amazing. I had been looking for a center that offered Akido classes for kids and am happy to have found North Valley Aikikai. Sensei Lee is knowledgeable, friendly, caring and has lots of patience with children!!

My husband and I take yoga classes at North Valley Aikikai and we're so thankful for this place. Everyone there, including Lee, the owner, is friendly and welcoming. While the atmosphere is relaxed, they take their teaching seriously. We've taken yoga with Michelle Chua, and we love it. She's an excellent teacher with amazing form and physique who takes care to show you the correct form and is mindful of the participants' various skill levels. She's also very approachable, exudes calm and plays cool music, perfect for yoga. I wish I can take classes with her every night! Taking just one yoga class a week has helped to realign my cervical spine, energize me afterward, and yet induces much deeper, restful sleep. Even my husband, who initially resisted taking yoga, now looks forward to our weekly class!

My experience at North Valley Aikikai is very pleasant! I was a yoga beginner and the instructors are very welcoming and accommodating, making yoga a fun way to relax after a stressful day. Also, North Valley Aikikai is small community of people who share the same beliefs and practices and the atmosphere is very homey! I love this place and would recommend it to anyone who is seeing to take yoga as part of their lives.

If I could give North Valley Aikikai 50 stars I would but alas I'll settle for the 5 out of 5. I started taking classes about 2 months ago after deciding I wanted to pick up a self-defensive martial art. The community, and especially the sensei, have been so incredibly welcoming! The beginner classes are great and are filled with martial artists of all levels, so you never feel out of place. Sensei Lee is truly a master of her craft, both that of Aikido and teaching. She's incredibly encouraging of new students and always has a smile on her face. I could literally watch her demonstrations for hours on end. If you're thinking about picking up aikido and your from the San Fernando Valley area this is the place to be!

Amazing experience taking an Aikido class ! Lee (instructor and owner) was fabulous. Very patient and understanding. Her staff was just as nice. I love the atmosphere and the energy.

My daughter takes aikido classes with the teen group and absolutely loves it here. She gets excited whenever it is a day for class. Her instructor is amazing and excellent at handling the kids. I can't recommend this place enough.

I bought a Groupon for my mom and I a while ago. We are very happy with this place! We especially love the beginners class on Wednesday nights. Its very relaxing and not very fast which is good for those who are new to yoga. I wish there were more beginner classes offered throughout the week, especially since the Wednesday class fills up if you do not get there early! Overall a great place for yoga.
