Support Chula Vista Yoga Center to stay open !

The Practice at CVYC 
Chula Vista Yoga Center (CVYC) has served the Chula Vista community since 2002. Maria Eckley is the owner, having taken the torch from the studio founder, Krystian Stjerne and Stjerne Family.  She has kept the vision going and has retained that "family vibe" that students have come to love and appreciate.


At CVYC everyone is encouraged to practice yoga regardless of age, abilities, or physical condition. Experienced instructors teach an all levels approach.


The pandemic has affected all businesses, in one form or other, and this quaint studio is no exception. 


CVYC has been closed since March 17, 2020. Since then, instructors have been teaching virtually. When the Governor announced his requirements to reopen in June 2020, CVYC complied, only to be ordered closed again in July.


CVYC then reconditioned the back patio to be able to practice outdoors. Maria and staff have done everything asked by our Governor, to be able to keep the doors open. Unfortunately, the most recent announcement of allowing gyms and yoga studios to accommodate only 10% of capacity, has been a real setback. 


We have been able to continue outdoor classes on our patio, but we are also limited on the number of students we can accommodate and still maintain safe social distance.


With your donations Chula Vista Yoga Center will expand the outdoor space to practice. The plan is to expand the outdoor space, available to us, with a safe and comfortable area that can accommodate our students.



Through this gofundme campaign, we plan to revitalize our parking lot. We'd like to lay new asphalt, install lighting and provide a lot-cover or canopy. 
This revitalization would allow us to continue with our outdoor classes, but accommodate a lot more students in safety and comfort. 
Please help keep the tradition going. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
