Yoga Works

I became a member of the new, beautiful Walnut Creek Yogaworks studio last year. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could upgrade to the San Francisco location (and 2 Marin County studios if I ever traveled in that direction), for $20/mo, with the plus being that 2 of my favorite Walnut Creek teachers are in the SF studio, Joanna and Sarah. As a beginning yogi, I really appreciated the emphasis on proper alignment and position. When I felt ready to try advanced classes, I found the continued emphasis on prevention of common yoga injuries critical , especially from Melanie (in Walnut Creek) and Joanna. Yogaworks has a great reputation in New York and LA with equally reputable national teacher training programs. Even though the various locations make it seem corporate, it does not have that feel at all. The SF studio is intimate, and has a welcoming, large sitting area with tea available- it doesn’t feel so crowded like some other SF locations when you have 5+ people waiting to enter the next class. The extensive schedule has lots of choices for beginners and advanced students. Unlimited Pilates classes are available as well for the monthly memberships. There are showers in the changing rooms which is not typical for your small SF yoga studio. Highly recommended! more

I have attended both Marin studios off and on for years and newly at the SF studio and the main feeling I get from the front desk to the teachers has always been kindness and welcoming. No matter what mood I come in I always leave feeling fantastic due to an excellent workout and the skilled instruction!\r \r The teachers are amazing! Me and my friends rave about Pete Chandonnet, Catherine Shaddix, Amynthas Franco (check out his lunch time drop in class which is only $14) and Peggy Orr just to name a few! \r \r Before or after your class you can indulge in a hot cup of tea provided by the studio. I feel so lucky that this haven exists in the heart of the city.... check it out!! Pros: value for your money; feel amazing when you leave Cons: parking - but hey, it's San Francisco!! (Marin classes have tons of free parking!) more

Had heard about this studio but had a hard time finding it on City Search. Went there this weekend - very cool. I'm new to Yoga and took one of their Intro Workshops. Had a fantastic teacher and felt very comfortable. My teacher (Michele Klink) was so kind. I couldn't help but fall in love with the studio. more

This is, by far, the BEST yoga studio in San Francisco. The space is comforting and exquisite, the teachers are the best I've ever had. I just read about them in the USA Today, SF Chronicle & the Examiner. Couldn't believe it! Pros: Great Teachers, Awesome Experience, Soothing Space more
