Riffs Yoga & Wellness is a one-of-a-kind wellness sanctuary in La Jolla where the ocean breeze, live musicians, and holistic therapies—like yoga, massage, sound healing, sauna, cold plunge, and red light—come together to elevate your mind, body, and spirit. At Riffs, you can create a custom daily wellness experience to support your highest transformation.
As a music shop turned yoga studio, we wanted to infuse our history into the space. That’s why we offer sound healing and live music in a number of our yoga classes. From Vinyasa and Hatha to Restorative and Yin, our diverse yoga classes are led by experienced, compassionate teachers dedicated to your personal journey. As our yoga community grew, our knowledge and love for holistic wellness grew–since 2024, we’ve offered massage, cold plunge, red light therapy, and sauna. At Riffs, we want you to live your life like you’re on retreat everyday – It's like Bali in your backyard.

Riff’s in Bird Rock is truly one of a kind.
"The atmosphere is inviting & feels like a second home! From the burning incense, blankets, hot tea bar & readily card pulls, they go above & beyond in more ways than one. Nothing but the best things to say about this place!”

Every time I come to La Jolla I make sure to take yoga classes at Riffs in Bird Rock.
The outdoor shala (heated during winter) is just magical. The teachers are amazing and they offer a wide variety of classes including breathwork and sound baths for every level. It is such a safe space to practice and I promise you will leave inspired. I have travelled and practiced yoga around the world but Riffs is my favorite place! Very unique on so many levels! Thank you for providing such an amazing experience. A real treasure!”

Stephen recognized the life-enhancing powers of yoga and established a life mission to share this profound practice with as many people as possible.
In order to do so, he had to make the business bigger than himself, and he started the process of hiring a team of equally passionate individuals to help share his mission of spreading health and happiness through yoga and wellness practices.
He documents his learnings and experiences on his personal blog.
