This review has been a long time coming. My experience here at Tower Yoga was right before the pandemic and is based on a few encounters I had with the female owner. I want to say that the studio itself looked great and I loved the location/set up and a majority of the instructors. (Mj and Astrid) I became a paying member after a few clients mentioned it to me as I lived in the area. I took a few easy classes at first and decided to take a hot yoga class. A friend and I signed up for an intro hot yoga class which was described online as slow moving, lots of water breaks, and verbal instructions on how to breathe and so forth. When my friend and I arrived to the class it was lead by the female owner. Who I had taken a class or two with before. We went right into what felt like an intense version of hot yoga. No breaks and no instructions on how to better handle the class and difficult poses. My friend and I were so confused because we thought it would be for beginners as listed. At one point, my friend and I were struggling to keep up and she looked over at me, and I whispered, "I'm sorry." She whispered something like, "I hate you" and we both quietly laughed at ourselves and carried on. At the very end, after the instructor finished, I walked up to her and asked if they had an easier class for beginners. Her demeanor immediately changed and she got defensive. Suggesting that the free beginner class was held on a certain day. I was confused and mentioned the class that day was labeled for beginners. She didn't believe me about the description of the class being easy or for beginners so I showed her the class description from my phone thinking it was just a mix up. Confirming the description she actually rolled her eyes. Then said something along the lines that if my friend and I hadn't been talking then maybe we would have gotten more from the instruction. Let me be clear that there was no instruction and my friend and I had only one small convo which I mentioned. I told her that we were paying members and that we had no issue we just wanted to take an easier class first to help us get better. She rolled her eyes again and asked, "So what did you have trouble with?" I mentioned having a knee restriction and her response was for me not to come. At that point my friend and I left and I was very upset by how poorly I was treated. In other classes, with this same woman, I noticed the vibe was different. She's got an ego and does not handle feedback well. This sets the tone for the whole studio in my opinion. I definitely feared retaliation as she acts like a big shot in The Tower District. So be aware, if you "disagree" with her or you don't behave how she wants you to, she will show you her awful side and it's not fun. If you want to walk on eggshells and feed her ego, this place is for you. Which is unfortunate because the studio is beautiful. If this place is under new management please let me know and I will reconsider my review after taking/paying for a beginner hot yoga class. read more

I love Tower Yoga! They offer 1 free week to new students and community class drop ins at $8. They also have another yoga spot, the Lotus which is not heated. The teachers and staff are amazing!!! I only have great things to say about this studio, the staff, and the experience. At first it was hard for me to start as I hadn't done hot yoga in a few years. I needed to take breaks. My mind and body felt so good after a few weeks of classes. It has felt like an amazing restart. If you haven't tried it yet, you should and you'll be hooked. read more

First ever yoga class for a non-yoga person went so good. The instructor was welcoming and a great guide for all levels. Definitely give it a try even if you question whether it's right for you. read more

My literal heaven on earth, it's the most comfortable and powerful space. The monthly membership is such a deal if you go frequently, and they always have cool workshops and events going on. Hannah is my fav yogi, go to her class LOL! read more

I attended the Warrior Pose Workshop. The instructor was kind and didn't move too quickly through the workshop, great flow and meditation. At the end of the workshop I felt refreshed and relaxed; my back, legs, feet and head were grateful. The facility was exceptionally clean, climate controlled and had appropriate lighting. I also appreciated the altars throughout the space. Very inviting. read more

I had a very negative experience with one of the instructors, Mariah Miller, which has made me completely defer to ever return to the studio. I used the free week pass to explore different classes and find the best fit for me. After attending Mariah's class, I took the time to thank her as I did with all the other instructors. When I expressed my gratitude to her, she asked for my full name. I shared it, which includes two Latino last names, and she responded by laughing and mocking it, saying "lalalalala." At first, I was confused, but I then realized she was mocking both my name and the way I pronounced it. For a yoga studio that promotes mindfulness and community, this behavior was incredibly disrespectful. It's particularly disappointing because Mariah was very precise in her pronunciation during the class mantras using Sanskrit language, but couldn't extend the same respect to my name. Recognizing and respecting someone's name is fundamental to building a sense of community. This incident felt especially hurtful considering Fresno has a large Latino population. The studio's disregard for cultural sensitivity reflects gentrification within our community and undermines the inclusive environment it claims to promote. I expected a space for mindfulness and acceptance, but instead, I had an upsetting and alienating racist experience. read more

Ok, so I'm a regular guy new to yoga. I've belonged to regular gyms, you know with weights and aerobics classes and a steam room. I've been to a few yoga classes years ago. But now I'm trying to consistently attend yoga classes for mental well-being not to mention flexibility, strength and balance. Tower Yoga classes are better than the yoga classes I've taken in other cities in two ways. One, the class sizes are smaller and more intimate. So I don't feel lost in a sea of people and feel a more personal connection to the instructors and other students. And that segues into my second point. That is, the instructors at Tower Yoga make an effort to share some of the yoga philosophies in a way that relates to our everyday stressed out and sometimes manic schedules and lifestyles. Hey, I'll take calming strategies any day! Although I've gained many positive yoga mental strategies and physical exercises from every Tower Yoga instructor that I apply to my everyday life, I'd like to mention two instructors who are really making a tremendous impact in my physical and mental well-being. First is Brooke DeCesare. She teaches the Saturday morning Community Yoga classes. Her classes start with a brief explanation of a Yoga philosophy that comes to mind that morning. Her style is energetic but very calm and precise. She describes each movement and their transitions to the next movement very clearly and paced in a way that is not too fast. Her hip relaxation movements are excellent and really make an unbelievable difference in my mobility! Plus, she is a very calming and welcoming presence. Hey, what more could you ask for? Next is Mariah Miller. She teaches the Kundalini Fusion Yoga class Tuesday evenings. Her classes are unlike any of the other classes at Tower Yoga. Breathing techniques and movements which energetically use the hands and arms and legs to clear out the stress built up in our bodies is refreshing and cleansing. Once in a while she uses scream therapy (in a gentle way) to also cleanse our minds and bodies of all that pent up negative energy. Blecccch, begone bad vibes! In addition, Mariah's upbeat yet down to earth personality makes it a joy to attend her classes. And where else in Fresburg will you find someone who does a Sound Bath every week! Super relaxing. Yup, what a way to end the day! Groovy dude! read more

Tower Yoga is a community of genuine and kind hearted folks,especially the owners & staff!

I'd also like to add that they are very welcoming there. Everyone is so nice and this months challenge to get signatures from every teacher. This is great because I can try out different teachers to see which ones I like best. And Zach's Pilates class is no joke! I'm pretty fit in that kicked my butt! But I'll be back! I love his class and the music. read more

I wanted a yoga studio that would provide a supportive and welcoming environment to receive my introduction to this activity. Tower Yoga has held this space for me for five months now. You can feel the warmth of this community from the moment you walk into the door. In class, there are plenty of options to accommodate various physical needs. During instruction, you are provided with valuable insight to support your practice. In case you find this helpful, I started with gentle yoga before moving into vinyasa. About four and a half months in, I tried power yoga and enjoyed it. This gradual approach felt good to me as a newbie. read more

It's been 5 years since I reviewed Tower Yoga and I can honestly say that it's only gotten better. This is the cleanest, safest, most welcoming studio that I've ever experienced. The instructors are warm, genuine and deeply knowledgeable. Tower Yoga is committed to building community and offers so much more than yoga classes. Weekend workshops, a run club and book club, as well as a tea sit and meditations are part of the varied offerings. It's a studio for both daily yogis and first timers, everyone is welcome. There are different types of classes offered inat the heated location. Power Yoga or Life n Flow are the most intense workouts and will leave you drenched but feeling so good. And there are sparkling clean showers so you can leave feeling fresh! read more

Tower Yoga is absolutely amazing. Kellee and Jamison are amazing, as well as all the instructors. My husband and I have been coming to Tower Yoga for three months now (still newbies) and we love the sense of community. The yoga classes are great and I can't pick a favorite. I love them all. Tower Yoga also does great community events that we love to participate in. We are so thankful to have Tower Yoga in our neighborhood. Thank you for all you do. read more

I've really enjoyed Tonya's classes each time I've attended, and this was no exception! I like the movements she chooses and the beginning of class with the talking/preparation to help us get into the mindset of our intention for the day. Sunrise Yoga gets me started for my day and I have a great rest of the day. It's also nice that it's not quite as warm as some of the other hot yoga classes, so that one can ease into it. read more

The teachers are the best ever! Everyone is nice, the building is nice the women's restroom is so clean and ample and comfortable. Everything about it is a great experience. read more

Love Janel and Jasmin. Both have helped and inspired me with my practice. I've grown so much spiritually, also. I highly recommend this studio. read more

If you're looking for a good way to work out and get yourself back into shape Tower yoga is a good start.

What a welcoming yoga studio! Everyone has been so kind and attentive to us. My husband and I started coming here this week and we've already taken 3 classes! The first week is FREE which is amazing!!!! AND you get to use a yoga towel, face towel, and mat for free your first week as well. After that it's only $3 for a mat rental. Cool spongy floor. Huge studio space. Super hot and sweaty. Teachers are great. Very diverse and inclusive space. The bathrooms have showers and multiple toilets. Plus they use eco friendly paper products which we love We are so excited to try more classes here. read more

I began attending Tower Yoga a year ago with the 1 week free yoga and then transition to the class pass. I quickly discovered I wanted to be more active with the practice and moved the the annual auto pay which gives the best perks for the price. I really enjoy practicing Yoga at Tower Yoga. All of the instructors bring a unique perspective to the practice and make it one of a kind experience. I've had the opportunity to visit many Yoga Studios around the U.S and overseas and Tower Yoga definitely has a unique welcoming vibe that makes it feel like home. Everyone is so welcoming, it's a beautiful community to be a part of. read more

Tower Yoga has five stars for a reason! If you want an amazing yoga class, and a sense of community, there's no better place. They offer classes for all ability levels and give opportunities for socializing with others in the form of gatherings, a running club and book clubs.

Everyone is super welcoming and you get your first week free! read more

The teacher yesterday for the 630 pm yoga was wonderful! She challenged us to just *be*. It was a helpful and much needed reminder that we are all human "beings" and not human "doings" :) I even brought a friend who had never done hot yoga before and she fell in love. We will be back soon with more friends! read more

Amazing place to stretch, meditate, and relax! They have a one week free trail for new people. Check their website! A couple of friends and I gave them a try. And we love it! Can't wait to come back. Everyone was so welcoming and our experience was so relaxing after a hard week at work. read more

I love Tower Yoga! I love the variety of classes that are offered and how accommodating it can be!

It was a great class. Instructors are kind and helpful. The facility is clean and I had a great experience!

They have a great focus on guidance and meditation elements within each class. The flows are well thought out and can be challenging, appropriate to the type of flow being taught. Thoughtful staff and great customer service. Strong sense of community and opportunities outside of the studio to grow in your practice like organized runs and yoga retreats. read more

The experience has been great from beginning till now- every instructor makes me feel comfortable and welcome. I have a feeling of peace in the studio, and I just can't wait to continue coming back. The time and effort that each instructor puts into their practice and message for the day is truly appreciated and makes a difference to my day and life. Tysm read more

Best yoga studio in the Tower District/ District 1 area. I have been a member for a year and I have felt as welcomed today as I did the first day I attended. I love that they give you a week to try it out and offer free run club or low priced community classes! read more

The instructor was very welcoming, she provided clear instructions and alternative poses but reminded us to listen to our bodies.

I love the hot gentle yoga class with farrin she always has a good message for the class and it's just a peaceful place to be for an hr.
