Whole-Being Wellness

Breath+Oneness is a holistic yoga and wellness sanctuary dedicated to whole-being wellness. All of our offerings support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Yoga is one ally that supports us on our wellness journey, and our 30+ classes a week also include breathwork, meditation, sound baths, reiki, and more, reflecting our commitment to a broad range of supportive offerings.

Welcoming Warmth and Embodied Presence

We don’t do yoga so we can wear tight yoga pants or so we can show off all of our fancy moves. We do it, and offer it to others, because it helps us feel better. It makes us breathe more, move more, and challenges us to be more in the present moment.

We believe that the modern-day medicine to the busy, fast-paced world we live in is to provide nourishing classes that slow us down and root us deeply into embodied presence. Everyone’s journey is unique, and that's why we're committed to offering a wide range of classes that go beyond traditional yoga. From dynamic vinyasa flows and rejuvenating restorative sessions to mindfulness meditation and specialized workshops, our offerings intend to support you wherever you are at and help you find greater balance and harmony in your whole being.

We are committed to supporting everyone on their journey of self-discovery and growth by embracing holism, interconnectedness, diversity, freedom of expression, truth, and love. We cultivate the experience of deep connection within ourselves, with each other, and to all of life.

The Healing Capacity of Sound and Music

We believe in the power of sound practiced in intentional ways. We have experienced within ourselves, and seen firsthand amongst our community the profound impact it has on overall wellness and mental wellbeing.

Everything is composed of waves. When we are in a state of dis-ease or disarray, our bodies' wavelengths are frayed. Bathing in harmonious sounds and vibrations brings our bodies back to a state of coherent wavelengths, which is where our innate healing is activated

Our studio incorporates sound healing in a handful of unique ways:

  • Weekly Sound Baths: both in our regular studio classes and in our special monthly events

  • Sound Healing & Crystal Temple: Our hand-selected, world-class collection of sound healing instruments available for purchase

  • Sound Healing Trainings: Learn to play just the crystal bowls with Temple of Light, or discover a whole new level of artistic expression through sound with Ceremony of Sound

We affirm the healing power of song and the life force that is stirred when songs are sung together.

Awakening Passion and Inspiration

Our team of knowledgeable teachers is at the heart of our community, dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where you can flourish and explore your full potential. With their guidance and expertise, you'll be encouraged to breathe more, explore your growth edges, and meet yourself with greater compassionate presence. 

Breath+Oneness encourages all teachers to bring what they are most passionate to teach.  We affirm that passion within one stirs passion within others and that this passion brings aliveness and inspiration to spaces like our studio. Our teachers are not only passionate about their craft but also helpful and encouraging, adding support to your growth and development.

Additionally, through our sound healing trainings, we seek to awaken new depths of musical and creative artistry within our community.

Our Story

Breath+Oneness, founded by mother/daughter duo Leslie and Carrie, is more than just a sanctuary; it's a second home for both of them. Drawing from Leslie's decades of business experience in Silicon Valley and Carrie's decades of experience in the wellness field, they've crafted a harmonious and heart-centered community space. They eagerly invite others to discover this sense of belonging and peace in this haven.

Our Studio

Breath+Oneness is set in Santa Cruz County, in the coastal town of Capitola. Acclaimed for its stunning beaches, excellent surf, and proximity to redwood forests and extensive hiking, Capitola draws visitors year-round. 

Our studio is comprised of our sunlit Lotus Room, renowned for its stunning mural, our intimate Gather Room, where we host smaller-scale events and house our Sound Healing & Crystal Temple, and a cozy lounge and boutique area where we can enjoy one another’s company and a warm cup of tea as we discuss wellness, love, and life!

“This is my home studio and is a very special space. I am honored to be apart of this community that offers healing beyond yoga.”
