If I could give Estee 10 stars, I would. That's just how amazing and wonderful she is…read more After many years of super intense/athletic yoga, finding myself in Estee's class was a REVELATION. With Estee, I discovered what it was like to have balance and harmony in my yoga practice. She has been a true inspiration to me, both on and off the mat. Here are the reasons why Estee is 10 stars, amazing and wonderful: 1) Estee, the human being She is unbelievably kind, compassionate and approachable. Estee is the nicest person I've ever met. Truth. You can't help but feel at total ease in her presence. 2) Estee, the yoga teacher Super calming and supportive. Clear direction. Creative, intuitive sequencing. Thoughtful modifications and hands-on adjustments. You know that you are safe. You feel encouraged to maybe go a little deeper. You also feel totally okay hanging out in child's pose for a while. No judgement. No ego. 3) Estee, the yoga experience Every single time I walk out of her class, I feel restored, rejuvenated and energized - as though my world found itself in perfect alignment in those 90 minutes. Estee's classes are energetically balanced - incorporating intention, breathwork, chanting and challenging flow. Oh yes, you will sweat. But you will never feel overwhelmed. There is something for everyone, from the newbie to the seasoned practitioner. Whatever your yoga experience, however you are feeling that day, Estee's class will nourish you, body and soul. Did I mention the super sweet meditation/savasana at the end of the class? BLISS. So there you have it. Estee is the best. Be kind to yourself and check out her class.

It's always such a treat for me whenever I can get over to Urban Flow for one of Estee's classes…read more Her sequences are always different and it's nice to mix it up during class. What's also nice is that she has such a calm and relaxing demeanor during class so you don't realize that you're getting absolutely WORKED during class. During our last class she really lead us out of it slowly and after class was over both my friend and I agreed that we didn't want that savasana to end. Great job Estee - looking forward to many many more!

I have worked with Jennifer for private yoga sessions for about 2 years and am continually amazed…read moreat her warmth, compassion, knowledge, and wisdom. Jennifer is so talented in that she can really hold the practical aspects of what I am bringing forward from my life (both physically and emotionally) and she can really tune into the feelings on a spiritual level as well. I've long since ditched competitive Lululemoned yoga "workouts" for Jennifer's balanced approach which is much more grounded in the wisdom from yoga's roots and inclusive of much more than just the movement/exercise piece. If you are open to it, she will teach you about the 8 limbs of yoga and help you create practices that support your entire wellbeing. I was sorry to hear the review from the man who was turned away at the door. I'm not sure of the circumstances but I have heard of men being in her small classes and often encourage my partner to visit Jennifer for help with his hip pain. Someday!

I wish I lived closer! I highly recommend her. Also, look at her 20, 5 star filtered reviews!

Upon entering, I met the most stoic, unexpressive dude. It kind of seemed like he didn't want to check me in, but I packed my stuff in the cubbies in front and still had a good class for an overall net neutral experience. Flash forward to now. I just took my second class at this place, and the experience was a lot better. The check-in staff member was very nice and amicable and gave me a rundown of the studio layout since it had been a while since my first visit. The class and instructor were great. I felt like I got a good workout and stretch in, so I left feeling rejuvenated. Facilities are very comfortable and super clean. I'm glad I gave this location another chance.

Each person has their own individual mat and materials. The studio is always clean and Alisha keeps the routines varied while you work on new skills and build upon old ones. It is absolutely the best workout, because Alisha is a great instructor. You will feel encouraged, positive, and challenged in this class. Thank you Alisha!

Fantastic! Alisha is great! I never thought I could find such personal Pilates experience at such…read moreaffordable prices. I started coming to this Pilates studio on the Monday community classes that cost $10. After 3 sessions I was convinced I wanted to make this a regular part of my fitness routine. What makes Alisha's classes great is the small size (no more than 5 or 6 people), the personalized attention, and the variation (it doesn't get boring). Alisha corrects your form, challenges you during the work out, but remains conscience not to make exercises hurt where they are not supposed to. She all does here best to keep the studio clean. Occasionally it does smell like BO a little, but I guess that is to be expected in such a small space.

Would not recommend for a variety of reasons. Here's a few:…read more 1. Instructor touches you to correct your form, often inappropriately without even asking first for consent. This will never be appropriate and felt like a gross misuse of his power as an instructor . In a small class, I didn't even feel like I could say something without making a scene so it continued to occur. I've taken many yoga classes & appreciate form tips & even repositioning but touching my ass & other parts of my body on the first go is so so icky. His patronizing tone throughout the class was also very discouraging and the opposite of what you want from a fitness class. 2. Carpet. In a hot yoga studio, where you are not allowed to use mats? This is grossly unsanitary. If you're good with being violated and getting athletes foot then this is the place for you!

Yoga Du Soleil is a privately owned yoga studio founded in 2006 in the lower Haight. Class sizes…read morecan vary from 5-15 students. The style of yoga is a mix of precision-oriented Iyengar and heart-centered asanas. All classes are taught by Betty Roi, a long time Bay Area yoga teacher. In addition to classes, Yoga Du Soleil offers workshops and private lessons. Students of all levels are welcomed unless otherwise indicated (i.e., select classes or workshops sometimes target more experienced practitioners). Betty is a brilliantly gifted teacher: she describes yoga poses in colorful detail with inspiration and humor. You are certain to find yourself engaged intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Betty applies great care and attention to every detail in class - mats, walls, blocks. straps, ropes, and even chairs are used to explore poses from different vantage points. Another attraction for Yoga Du Soleil is the smaller class sizes. Each class offers a customized and personal experience. Betty provides instruction to the class and to each individual, tailoring the instructions based on your needs. Betty's knowledge of yoga combined with her instructional abilities make Yoga Du Soleil a must-try experience for anyone who is interested in or serious about yoga. The individual practitioner is certain to leave with a new-found understanding of yoga and of him/herself. I highly recommend Yoga Du Soleil or any of Betty's classes elsewhere in the Bay.

The day was set up to activate the body with a challenging (but not strenuous) yoga session in the morning which in turn activated our energy and appetite. A delicious organic vegetarian lunch was served by a local chef, then we had free time to swim in the beautiful pool, soak in the hot tub or go for a walk about the property. The afternoon Rebecca discussed the importance of a home practice with humor and down to earth understanding that it's hard to carve out time in our days. We finished with a relaxation yoga session, tea, chocolate and homemade shortbread. Rebecca is a joy to learn from! I'll definitely be signing up to her next retreat.
