I was a long-time yoga practitioner at Joya Dublin. Due to the pandemic and a nagging shoulder…read moreinjury, I stopped for a while. I discovered Joya Pleasanton offers a free Sunday vinyasa class and took a couple, and realized how much I missed yoga in my life. Joya Pleasanton offers a variety of modalities - vinyasa, bikram, Pilates, barre, and HIIT type classes. I take vinyasa and wish there were more j flow vinyasa classes on weekday mornings but I get it, I'm in the minority! The vinyasa instructors have all been excellent - positive, encouraging, and always thoughtful and creative in sequences. The care team is always friendly and they do a great job keeping the yoga rooms tidy and fresh. Parking at Joya Pleasanton can be tricky. It's best to check the schedule and see when classes get out before your chosen class begins. Try to arrive a couple mins after patrons leave. (Here I am, given away my parking secrets!) If that seems too complicated, get to class at least 15 mins early in case you need to circle the lot or find street parking around the block.

I don't recommend this studio. Classes are poorly organized, room temperatures are either too hot…read moreor too cold, and parking is difficult. Tried it years ago and cancelled my membership, hoping for improvements but was disappointed again. It is unfortunate that Pleasanton doesn't have options to practice a traditional yoga.

I have only been coming to YogaSukhum for about 2 months (nearly daily), but I can definitely feel…read moreand see a a difference. I joined yoga because I needed an outlet for my anxiety and burnout from work. I feel more flexible and for the first time ever, have been able to touch my toes (a small but important success for me). All the instructors are great, especially Satya and Varsha. I absolutely love the fact that they take the time and explain why the poses are done in each way, the importance of it and what part of the body we're working on. I've always been hesitant about starting yoga because I have been very conscious about my lack of flexibility and unable to hold certain poses. But at YogaSukhum, it's never about the ability to hold a pose, it's where your body is that day and going into the pose correctly and safely. Using yoga props, not forcing poses and listening to my body, has allowed me to improve on my flexibility, feel stronger and have been able to hold and do poses that I never thought I would be able to. The instructors are very personable, will address specific limitations and will provide any modifications needed to feel comfortable and confident. I truly appreciate that they push us to go further, but never make us uncomfortable. I have also attended a sound bathe and an inversion training class. It was my first time experiencing a sound bathe and it was very different and beautiful experience. I was very nervous trying the inversion class, but I wanted to go outside my comfort zone and try something different. The class was a lot of fun and the way they slowly approached inversions really helped me feel safe and comfortable trying it. We used an inversion trainer and it was honestly a lot of fun. They have classes multiple times a day - daily and have an option of joining online. Even online, the instructors will give each yogi attention, encouragement and feedback. The classes are 75 min long, but the time goes by so fast. Classes are easy to join via using their app and they have great membership options. They are also very mindful of COVID regulations and everyone who attends must be vaccinated. I am so glad my husband googled a yoga studio near us and found this amazing place for me. After trialing it for 15 days, I signed up for a 6 month commitment without any hesitation. The most important aspect I respect about coming here is the emphasis of mind, body and breath. I am very grateful for this yoga studio and the instructors.

Yogasukham has been a true blessing…read more I was searching for a studio that focused on mindful breathing and proper technique--not just poses--and this place has deeply enriched my practice. Satya, Varsha, and all the teachers create such a warm, intentional space. From the opening prayers to the thoughtful flows and peaceful closing meditation, every class leaves me centered and grateful. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and making yoga feel so meaningful.

Sadly, I'm thinking seriously though of ending my $229/month unlimited membership because of the cancellation policy. If I wake up and see that later meetings have been booked for me, and I can't make a 5pm or 6pm class, I feel that if I opt out of the class by 9 or 10 or 11am for that evening, that is ample time for the next person in line (usually a wait list) to be psyched to have secured a spot. To be charged $15.00 when that happens doesn't seem equitable. They've easily filled the spot -- and they are charging a cancellation fee. Life happens, and I understand if people just don't show up. Charge them. I strongly request and encourage ownership to consider 6 hour window, instead of the current 12 hours. Went to bed last night feeling a migraine coming on. Cancelled at 9:30pm for my 9am class this morning and woke up to a $15.00 charge. Policy needs to change, or I'll have to try another venue.
