Through this stage in my life, there is a lot of stress I experience from caregiving my parents and there is more conflict I have with my wife and kids. Through my life, I sought help from supportive friends and relatives. I went to therapy. I also tried yoga and Taichi. It has not been enough. I researched meditation and came upon SF Meditation and met with Emily. When I first met her, her demeanor and aura was of calm and I already felt better with her presence. I did my first session with Emily and learned the overview of the method. Going through my life cycles was revealing. Learning to meditate with my eyes open showed me I can reflect and make better choices in how I handle life's situations as I go about my day. In the last weeks, my approach with my family is calmer, more open and less rigid. My son said once, "Is this really my mom?" and we had a good laugh. My daughter was experiencing some anxiety and I shared some helpful tips I learned from Emily, and my daughter found them helpful. I look forward to learning more and more. On how the meditation center runs: it is super accessible because they have virtual sessions. In these sessions, you meet other meditation leaders and people from all over the US. I feel like I am not only part of the Bay area community, but also a larger community worldwide. If there is one thing I would change (besides wishing I found the meditation center sooner!), I would want access to weekend in person sessions. But I understand even our meditation leaders need a break :) And on weekends, there is still access to virtual meditation, so still can get support that way.

I started with skepticism but I realized soon that they were in fact very genuine. I have been meditating for more than 4 years now. I totally love this meditation.

I also love the environment of the center and how clean the meditation spaces are.... You will not regret it .. Try it out.

They provide quality yoga mats, blocks, blankets and bolsters so you can focus on your flow if you're new and don't have equipment. I've been attending classes here for a few months now and have found an instructor for every mood. Stephenie's evening classes are perfect when I want a slow, meditative flow. She gently guides us through poses and holds each one long enough for my body to fully sink in. I always leave her class feeling loose and limber. Joann's morning Hatha class is great for de-stressing. The sequences are simple but rejuvenating. We move through meditations and breathing exercises at a leisurely pace. When I want more of a challenge, I go to Josh or Tiffany's Vinyasa classes. They seamlessly flow us through faster-paced flows focused on breath and building up to more advanced arm balances or backbends. Both are so encouraging and help modify poses for all skill levels. I come out of their classes energized and empowered. Overall it's a gem for anyone looking to establish or deepen their yoga practice. I feel lucky to have discovered this oasis in my neighborhood!

I have not written a review in over 10 years as a devoted yogi student of this studio. However, I…read morewas dismayed and frankly disappointed by the yoga teacher tonight, named Dominic. I have only taken this teacher's class once before . Tonight the studio was not typically hot as usual, but more of a temperate climate. He kept the fans on and the doors open. It didn't take long for the room to become cool and eventually a cold draft ensued. A student requested for him to "please close the door."However to no avail. He responded, "you just need to work harder!" I then stated, "it's cold, can you close the doors please". He again resisted doing so, and claimed we were not working hard enough. I have been practicing yoga since 2001 and am a hot yoga and Hatha yoga certified instructor. Certainly, I practice hard enough. It was so disheartening to observe a teacher use his ego and disregard the sentiment of his students. I will not be taking his class again. It's such a shame when teachers exert egotistical control in the name of yoga....it negates all meaning of what yoga represents, and its purpose becomes null and void. Dr. Cuba

The space has beautiful high ceilings, the front desk staff are always kind, and the heaters make the hot classes the perfect temperature. The teachers have all been phenomenal, and the overall energy of the studio is welcoming and consistent. We currently go to Ava's 6:30pm Tuesday/Thursday class, and she's incredible. Her flow gets your heart rate up, makes you sweat, and always leaves your body feeling great afterward. It's the perfect balance of challenge, movement, and clarity. Linda's 5pm class just before is also an amazing class. It's labeled as a Vinyasa Flow- Heated, and it's definitely not a beginner class. Her flow is fast-paced, her sequencing is thoughtful, and she's an extremely talented teacher with great energy and precision. Overall, Yoga Flow SF is one of the best studios we've ever practiced at- amazing instructors, great environment, and classes that keep us coming back every week. Highly recommend.

Everybody seem to be in their own Zen, humble moments! For my personality, I felt like I was hyper or something because they spoke so eloquently and calmly. The class was rather full at 9:30 AM, but the yoga teacher moved her mat off to the side so she could walk in between everybody and help pose the different people in the class. A very sweet Asian lady with a beautiful French accent! Since the holidays were coming up, she said she was traveling for a wedding and it was really cute and sweet that she shared the extra information. She gave great instruction on how to hold Yoga blocks and work different muscles. Even though this was a beginner class , I felt like I learned some new things since I've been doing yoga for about 13 years now. I would love to take another class here again!
