I just stopped by to get a gift certificate for a co-worker. The girl who greeted me at the counter was friendly and inviting. She explained the different options for my purchase and told me about the benefits of yoga. There was a class going on while I was there. I've met the owner, Katie, before and she is really sweet. Hmmm, I'll have to give yoga some thought...sounds like a great stress reliever! read more

COIL Yoga - The front entrance ...tranquil location. - Yoga Near Me - Fresno, California

Unfortunately so far I am disappointed with this studio due to the lack of communication. I am coming from San Diego and have been doing my research and wanted to get more information on this studio especially after reading all the great reviews on here! I have attempted to reach out to the studio 2 different times, one through phone leaving a voicemail with my contact information and another by going on their webpage and fillout a feedback form with my questions. I have yet to hear from somebody and it makes me feel like they don't value or care for new customers. Hope I here from someone soon. read more

My daughter is lucky and gets to participate in yoga at school with Katie. With the current status of the world, Coil has taken yoga to the virtual world so that our community can still take part and access this needed space right now. We participated in kids yoga from home and we loved it!! I would highly recommend taking advantage of practicing with Coil! read more

My doctor recommended I give yoga a try for a back injury. He recommended Coil yoga. Before calling Coil I saw a friend who asked about my injury and told him my doc recommended yoga. Right away he tells me to call Coil yoga. He tells me how working with Katie has done wonders for him. I have to admit I was a little skeptical. I give Katie a call and made an appointment. We discussed both a neck and back injury I am currently being treated for. I did a 60 minute private Therapeutic yoga session. I didn't want it to be over! I seriously don't have the words to properly express how good I felt when I left. I will be scheduling another and plan to try the Gentle/Restorative class Katie teaches. I'm am sold on this place. read more

I did prenatal yoga here with my first baby and absolutely loved it. Wish I had more time to go back and take another class. My teacher was amazing and made me feel comfortable while being hugely pregnant. It was SO relaxing (at the end) when the lights were low and we were meditating, I would catch myself napping. It was the best!! read more

COIL yoga is where I learned not only to love yoga, but how to properly do each pose that works for my body type. Katie is hands down the best yoga teacher I've ever encountered. While in her classes, she offered gentle guidance on establishing the correct pose, while keeping the class in a conscious flow. Just found out that they have online classes now available, looking forward to attending one of those classes. read more

*UPDATE* I am pleased to say that within hours of this review I was contacted by Diane from Coil Yoga. Not only did she apologize for not giving extending me the student discount, but she informed me that Coil will be changing their student discount policy. They will be extending the 10% discount ALL full-time students, regardless of their age! What impressed me the most was the fact that Diane never once got defensive or made any excuses defending the policy. She simply apologized and informed me of the change. As an activist and Social Justice scholar, I find her response truly refreshing. As a result of their prompt and considerate response to this situation, I have given Coil Yoga the five star rating they deserve. I will definitely be going back soon! I really enjoyed the class that I took with Tanya. She was a superb instructor! I would give her five stars for her excellent and patient instruction. However, I cannot give Coil Yoga five stars, because I believe they are discriminatory regarding their student discount policy. I am a full time student college student at Fresno State University. I came to the center equipped with my student ID and class schedule, however I was denied the 10% student discount due to the fact that I am 34 years old. Apparently they only give this discount to students who are 25 y/o or younger. I do not receive ANY financial benefits as a result of my age. I pay the same amount for tuition as the younger full-time FSU students and should receive the SAME discounts they do. If it wasn't for Tanya and her wonderful instruction I'd give this place 1 star. This is age discrimination. It is 2016 and discrimination of ANY kind should NOT be practiced nor should it be tolerated. read more

Here's what I know about Coil yoga. The yoga instructors are not only highly experienced in their art, but they are all so inviting, kind, and really express a personal interest in you and your practice. They are patient, funny, warm and just beautiful people. They work with all skill levels, are encouraging and uplifting. They have a deep rooted knowledge in their practice that one can only attain from years of experience, self evaluation and ongoing education. The building is gorgeous. It is open, welcoming and fresh and the receptionist always greets you by first name, with a friendly smile. The location is great, the students are friendly , and the staff are wonderful. If you are looking for a yoga home, I HIGHLY recommend Coil Yoga. read more

After a couple of morning classes here I'm still so happy with the studio and love it more and more. Since the time change the morning classes have been beginning in a dark room with no light since its 6:15 am and no sun yet. Throughout the practice the sun is rising and at the end of a meditation we open our eyes to a naturally lot room and it's such a difference in an hour. I still recommend this studio at least to drop in and check it out. It has such a positive energy and so many different options for classes and workshops including a mommy and me class that I really want to try with my son! read more

See all

I had a chance to take a yoga class on Katie's back deck (AKA The Pearl), and it was incredible. The view is amazing and Katie is a wonderful, attentive instructor. I dropped in while visiting from out of town, and it was a great experience !! read more

COIL their name says it all Conscious Open that's exactly how you are treated here, with open-ness, open hearts just ready to guide you into yoga bliss! I had knee surgery last year, it's great to know that I'm safe here, these instructors are knowledgeable & adjust you according to what is going on with your body. Katie is AMAZING! Everybody should pamper themselves with a private with her. She is so loving, her passion shines right out, I love going to her classes. read more

My experience at Coil Yoga always leaves me feeling refreshed, challenged in the best way, and looking forward to returning. I have been attending classes intermittently here for the past 8 months. The instructors are personal and caring, the studios are lovely and set the perfect atmosphere, and I always feel very welcomed. I really appreciate the variety and pace of the vinyasa classes taught by Katie and Matt. I would say classes here incorporate props more than most other studios, and what you will need is written on a chalkboard. It's one of the many nice touches that adds up to a great overall experience at Coil Yoga. A wide variety of classes are offered and the 2 week unlimited new student pass is a great to sample and find what is best for you. read more

Favorite yoga place with loving touch of The experienced instructors the restorative class will leave you relaxed and centered, they are a gem in our sometimes dreary community read more

REALLY GREAT Yoga spot! Was in town last night on business and was lucky to find this place. Above average flow class with a short sound bath at the end. Will be sure to come back every time in town. Vibe also had a good sense of community and everyone made be feel welcome even though I was just passing through. read more

Coil has turned out to be so much more than whatever I thought I might've been signing up for. The space at Coil feels warm and energizing, from the welcoming people inside to the beautiful magnolia tree outside. What I thought would be something based purely out of leisure, has turned out to be an empowering and transformational process for my life. The instructors have been a driving force for teaching a total newb the ins-and-outs of movement, breath, intention, and much more! Their knowledge and compassion has helped me find the foundation necessary to pursue my journey in yoga, one that I'm proud to say has all started at Coil. Katie has done an exceptional job at creating a safe space for practice, community, and pure enjoyment. If you'd like to tune in with yourself - physically, mentally, or spiritually - Coil is the right place for you! read more

Katie Flinn's Coil Yoga is a must-stop for the Yogi or Yogini passing through Fresno! Katie's asana sessions are lively, loving and full of easy to understand anatomy lessons to help attendees deepen their practice. Be sure to pack your yoga mat when traveling and stop by. They also have yoga for kids sessions in their studio too, so the whole family can experience Coil Yoga. read more

This review is long overdue. And yet here I am, sitting in complete exhaustion, and still thinking about Katie's yoga class I attended over the Christmas holiday. You see, I teach yoga for a living and it's hard.... I repeat HARD to find a teacher who can bring every element of a yoga practice together, and seamlessly at that. Katie is a master. My favorite teachers offer something for everyone. They offer moments of silence, moments for reflection, options to modify and options to make your practice deeper or more challenging. She gives you space. What does that mean? I mean... she lets you come to the mat however you are .... happy, grieving, deflated, anxious, and without judgement or trying to fix you. She just makes you feel welcome. She makes you feel seen. She also has a sense of humor! So important because so many people think it's "yoga perfect" not "yoga practice". Good reminder to let go of the need to be perfect. My goodness we are hard on ourselves. As a teacher, I need the physical element AND the spiritual element. She gives you all of it. That is, if you are open to receiving it. She is a master at teaching all levels. That's important because I still remember the first time I stepped on a mat and I remember thinking how hard it was and how I wasn't good at it. But she is there for you to help you change the pose if you have injuries or certain limitations. That is so important folks!!!! That takes brilliant observation on the teachers part and a deep connection to intuition to read the energy in the room. If you haven't tried yoga, please, please... go take her class first. See for yourself. Give yourself that gift. Treasure yourself. The only problem is.... I wish she were in the bay!!! Wishful thinking. :) I CANNOT wait to take another class at her studio, and I'm sure all the other instructors are likeminded and just want to give love like she does, although I haven't been to them all. What are you waiting for? Do yourself a solid. This studio is amazing. read more

I travel quite a bit for work. All over California. I've lived in the Bay Area for over 15 years. Now that I travel so much for work I do my best to be active and stay healthy while traveling. That means staying close to a Whole Foods and trying out different yoga studios across the state (and country). In my work trips to Fresno I've passed this studio multiple times. This week finally decided to give it a try. I took the Intermediate Vinyasa class with Katie the owner. Honestly I wasn't expecting much. Middle of the state, random yoga studio. Wow. I was blown away. This is the BEST yoga class I've ever taken. Perfect in every way. Katie took the time to introduce herself to the newbies in the class. Then during the class I was offered the best explanation of poses I've ever had. Explaining in detail how to get into the pose, how to hold it and how to get out of it. As well as what muscles should be engaged and how to incorporate breath work. She also went around during the class and adjusted people's forms. I've very rarely had an instructor do this. It is so awesome and helpful. To truly understand how to properly hold a pose is integral to the practice of yoga. After 10 years of random yoga classes I've finally found my yoga home. Too bad it's 200 miles away from my house. I will return every time I'm back in Fresno. read more

Love love love this place. If you're looking for a studio that makes you feel right at home look no further! Every teacher I've met has been absolutely amazing especially the owner. It's yoga while also having fun. The atmosphere is laid back and exactly the way yoga should be! read more

Words cannot describe how Coil yoga has added to my life and The new location is amazing. Katie has out done herself. The team of teachers and the space is an oasis of relaxation and transformation . I've reviewed the downtown location and my opinion here is the same. This is the best yoga studio I've ever attended and I travel worldwide trying to attend a yoga studio everywhere . Thank you Katie for always putting your heart and soul into every unique class experience . read more

love, love, love Coil Yoga! I have been attending New Moon goddess circle for about two years now. The review is for the goddess circle that is Kellee D. hosts. it is every other month on or near the new moon for that month. We do some light yoga, meditation, journaling and lastly share what we would like to see for the new moon. At the end we make a batch of bath salts that each attendee has put a little something in (oils, herbs, loving energy). read more

I've been an on-again off-again visitor to COIL for five years and absolutely love it. Katie, the owner, is an amazing person who exudes energy and compassion and all the instructors I've had have been good. I'm a permanent yoga novice so can't speak to the more advanced classes, but I've taken a variety of beginner/all levels classes and have never been disappointed. When I was pregnant I was a regular at Marie's pre-natal yoga class and I can't say enough about how wonderful she is. Her class was a weekly bright spot in a stressful high-risk pregnancy and I will always be grateful to her. I have experienced yoga classes and studios that were either too rigid or too loosey-goosey and COIL is neither of those. The rigor and discipline are there if you want them but there is also a pervading spirit of encouragement and nurturing. read more

The studio at Coil Yoga offers a clean, fresh, and comfortable environment for the yoga practice. Most of the teachers I've encountered have been extremely knowledgeable and provided modifications to students positions, so they can make the most out of the class. The staff is very welcoming and after the class is over you feel very decompressed! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent session with Eliana today. Coil is awesome! I've watched Katie build her business over time.

This place is a fresh air for me. It's an escape from the hustle and bustle of Fresno. Walking in I become more calm. I'm always greeted right away but sweet girls! I try to get their 10 minutes early because I like to take my time setting up and also stretching! I have the TIGHES hips and hamstrings in this world! So far I have take a variety of classes. Different times, different teachers, and different rooms. I have loved all but one class. That one class was just a little too slow for me so it was kind of my fault. I love the teachers their! I love hearing about their practices. I especially love when a teacher give full attention to each student at the end of our class. For example; essential oils on the wrists, pushing shoulders down and out to give them a good stretch. I could totally see myself signing up for a monthly membership after my new member deal is over! Also yes, look at the benefits of becoming a member here!! I bought an unlimited pass for two weeks for less than (I BELIEVE) $40. Even if it was more it is definitely worth it!! read more

I always have a great mind and body experience when I visit Coil and today definitely didn't disappoint! I was finally able to take Yoga Athletics with Gwint Fisher and it was everything I've been looking for in a yoga class! Gwint is a great instructor, he shows you in detail the moves you will be performing. And I'm so excited that his class will now be offered in the evenings! If you like to add something different to your workout routine I definitely would suggest taking this class! read more

Took a vinyasa flow class with Jameson. I'm from out of town, and am always excited to try a new studio while traveling. Class was really nice- a good mix of fun, experimentation, group activity, and solid asana. I will be back next time I'm in town. read more

When I'm visiting Mom in Fresno, I ALWAYS make time to visit COIL Yoga. I travel a ton for business, and have visited yoga studios around the world, but COIL Yoga is still one of my favorites. It is a welcoming place where Katie and her team provide the finest instruction and support. When you're next in Fresno, get on your mat and give COIL Yoga a visit. read more

Coil Yoga is a great studio. I am taking two types of yoga there with two different teachers. Both teachers are completely invested in me, my health and in my healing my body through yoga. I feel nurtured there. I'm learning, getting stronger and am so happy my PT referred me there! read more

My first there today! Such a beautiful experience. The studio is impeccable and the aura is inviting and calming. Our class started at 6:15 and during it, we watched the sun come up. It was absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Wonderful, welcoming and knowledgeable yoga instructors. I've enjoyed every class I've attended and have left feeling relaxed, refreshed and strengthened. I highly recommend COIL Yoga for beginners thru advanced students. We are so lucky to have this wonderful and giving studio in Fresno! read more

I have been a regular student at COIL for the last two years since shortly after I relocated to Fresno - and it has been an absolute joy in every way. I heartily concur with all the other enthusiastic reviews on this page - and I know we speak for many dozens of others who appreciate COIL as a soul-nourishing oasis led by the inimitable Katie Flinn. If you are new to yoga, walking into a yoga studio may feel intimidating, but please know there is no "wrong" way to do yoga, and we are a welcoming and friendly bunch... both teachers and students. If you have even a glimmer of interest, I hope you'll give yourself the gift of a yoga class at COIL (perhaps starting with a Restorative Yoga class which is an easy entry point to yoga for anyone and any body). It really is as fabulous as everyone says! read more

Highly recommend. Started the 2 week unlimited for $38 and I've attended 3 classes with 3 different instructors. From the front desk through the session, I have had nothing but a pleasant experience thus far. All of the instructors and classes have been amazing and it seems like there is a session for any interest, relaxation, workout, etc. everyone seems genuine in their quest to share the practice of yoga. A place where you can let go and find that balance in life. If you haven't tried it, the 2 week pass is a great offer to start! read more

Amazing experience at the Mommy and Me class! Wish they were offered weekly!! Marie was awesome; so patient and welcoming. The activities offered were fun; books and imaginative exercises that incorporated many fundamentals of yoga such as breathing and pose while keeping it age appropriate and engaging for the little ones. Prices were reasonable-$15.00 for both of us and the class was 45 minutes. I am so happy this has come to Fresno: much needed and can't wait to go back!! read more

Katie Flinn is by far my favorite yoga teacher. She cares about your being as well as your body. This is the only place where one can go and truly focus on yourself and not the outside world, phones, jobs, or needs of others. You owe yourself this hour. Hala is wonderful as well. Jamison on Sunday is also amazing! All the team members and people that attend COIL are the best around. read more

Katie, the owner, has created such a wonderful space. Coming from right off the hustle and bustle of Shaw, and into a calm, quiet, and beautiful place is like stepping into a hidden cove of serenity. The staff is wonderful, always greeting you with a smile and you always feel welcomed. Every teacher I've taken a class with has been great, I think Katie wouldn't have it any other way. Each one has asked my name, and asked if I've had any injuries, so it's a very personal, private feel despite it being a public class. And most importantly, the classes themselves encourage not only a safe and unique asana practice, but encourage spiritual growth as well. 10/10 would recommend read more

Love this place! Start with the Gentle Restorative classes if you are starting out for the first time as a beginner. If you've never tried yoga before, this is a great place to start with or with any beginner classes. You'll love it and you owe it to yourself and your health! I always walk out of there feeling renewed and restored! read more

Katie is an amazing yoga teacher. I am so grateful we have her in Fresno. She is so knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your experience. Her classes give you a good workout and make you feel at peace. I've lived in at least 5 different cities over the past few years and have never experienced a class like this. It is definitely my favorite. read more

Coil Yoga is the best... Every instructor and class is excellent. If I had the time I would do every one. Yoga complements every aspect of my life. It helps me decompress from a very stressful job and improve my performance. I can swim better, sleep better and my workouts are better. It has helped my blood pressure and neck/shoulder pain. I has also provided vital treatment for a medical condition that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. It is unfortunate that health insurance doesn't cover Yoga practice, although the involvement of third party payers would probably destroy the Yoga industry, as it has in other sectors of the economy! read more

I've been doing yoga for over 15 years. I've done it in several cities and at different strength levels in my life. In all that time Kellee Dorman is my favorite yoga instructor of all time. What is nice about coil is that when I happen to not be able to make a class with Kellee there are other teachers and classes that satisfy my pretty snobbish opinion on yoga classes. Gwint Fisher's class is for sure to leave you sore from top to bottom in places you never knew exist, Katie does an exceptional flow and when she has a wild day and feels like starting a dance party it seriously makes my life significantly better, Marie is the mama's soul sister, she gets the mama challenges and helps you get back down to the root and she also happens to teach the only (and also a wonderful) mama and me yoga class in fresno. The new location is gorgeous and with ample parking (which was a bit of a bummer at the old downtown location). Come check it out. read more
