All levels of yoga are welcome. The classes are on the smaller side, but this allows for a more personalized experience. I started as a beginner but am now able to do inversions and other balance poses that have always been a huge struggle for me. Milan pushes you in the right way, and even though it's an intense workout you will leave feeling 10 times lighter and more accomplished!

Milan somehow effectively balances both veterans and newcomers such that everyone walked away feeling rejuvenated and grounded. I very much enjoyed my class.

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.

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.

She offers private lessons, duets, and small classes with 3 people so she can give you the attention you need. She has helped me stay in shape through the pandemic and kept me active as I recovered from ACL surgery, adjusting my lessons to accommodate my injury while working out the rest of my body. Her space is beautiful, welcoming, and clean. She is always on time for my lessons and is very communicative if she needs to adjust our schedule. To summarize, I cannot recommend Movement Lab enough. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned Pilates person, Movement Lab is a great place to add to your workout routine!

It was amazing! All of the toxic stress that had been building up inside me was released in the most gentle, easy manner. Better than massage! Tonia is a fantastic instructor and really knows her stuff. She combines breathing techniques with easy poses. Nothing is ever uncomfortable, only incredibly relaxing. I can't wait to try out the other classes, but, for now, I am thrilled with Tonia's class, late enough for me to go to after work on Tuesday evenings, and offered on Sunday evenings as well. The yoga studio is very clean, warm and friendly. I prefer to rent a mat for $2 rather than worry about bringing my own each time (yet another thing to keep track of). Parking on West Portal is not difficult after regular business hours. Highly recommend for newbies to yoga and anyone seeking effective strategies for self-care!
