I'm a member at Nest Yoga and have been taking classes with Jody pretty regularly for the last 6…read moremonths or so. I knew Jody's work with me was, well, working when I recently found myself in an airport bathroom, mid-clothes change, casually balancing in tree pose without even thinking about it. No mirror, no mat, no cues--just instinct. You know when you have to change in a public bathroom and don't want any part of your foot touching the floor? It was that moment, and when I realized I was balancing, I wondered to myself why I hadn't leaned against the wall. And that realized, I simply didn't need to. That kind of body awareness and ease didn't come from nowhere. It came from Jody's classes that are equal parts grounding and empowering, taught with skill, presence, and just the right touch of challenge. I'm grateful for every session that's made movement like that feel natural, even in the most unexpected places! Thank you Jody!

The inside seems very clean and the people at the front desk are very polite and helpful. The clothing is cute in there.

Deb Burkman has the three things that I look for in a yoga instructor:…read more 1) A deep knowledge of yoga. 2) A balance between the physical and spiritual aspects of practice. 3) A focus on individual needs. She's just started teaching at Yoga Loft on Divis on Thursdays at 4:45. I'd almost rather not say nice things to keep classes small, but she deserves a good Yelp!

Deb was my first teacher in San Francisco, and I must say that she was (and is) a huge part of my…read moreyogic journey. She is a rare gem in the yoga world; her style is nurturing and compassionate, yet challenging and precise. Her classes offer a mindful level of difficulty and still remain fun! I think that she's great for all levels, as she offers personal assistance and warm comfort to all of her students. (Not to mention that her adjustments take some serious SKILL!) I've only taken Deb's classes at Mindful Body which are top notch, and although I've yet to visit the Yoga Loft, I would HIGHLY recommend going anywhere to take her class.

The…read moreSunday morning Yoga Above the Beach is a great outdoor experience, in a beautiful location looking over the bay. This is the best-kept secret in SF Yoga, all tourists to SF who even do a little yoga would enjoy this experience!! My sister and brother-in-law took the class while out here visiting from Chicago. They took the Geary bus out there (near Cliff House) and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Other reviewers have mentioned how she effortlessly and gently suggests adaptations to meet individual students's needs with no interruption to the flow of the class. I have started studying the yoga tradition that Mary teaches, deepening my appreciation of the elegance of the practices she designs and guides. As a student in her class, I notice how both during and after the practice, I feel awesome. Now that I also am studying to become a yoga teacher, I am able to see in a more informed way how good she is at what she does.

I had a chronic shoulder injury that brought me to Mary initially. This class is a self-check, stretching out sore muscles and bringing attention inward with visualization and breath work.

I've been taking classes at Lotusland for about 8 months (how time flies!), and I'm really…read moreimpressed by the quality of the experience. I used to go to Yoga Tree extensively before they shut down, and I've been to a few other local studios. Not all the teachers at Lotusland are equally skilled, but they all have a quality which I've found lacking at many other studios, which is a desire to actually TEACH yoga rather than just instruct it. The studio is small enough that the teachers can get to know the students and offer personalized, hands-on assistance, which helps new students practice proper form and more experienced students refine their technique. This is not the place to go if you want a Core Power Flow Maximum Heated Vinyasa Yogaerobics Body Sculpting class, but it's a great place to go if you want to, you know, learn and practice yoga.

Not sure what the other classes are like but this was taught by Rick, like an ashtanga style class for 60 minutes and a few of the hardest moves removed. Still a tough class and most poses and done twice. The temperature of the room was 108F, widely attended with around 24 students. 40% of them left around 15 minutes before the class ended. Yes, it's hot and it feels good. Yes you feel like you're going to die. But you'll feel so alive afterwards. Rick is a great teacher and provider clearly and timely guidance. A plus is the lush garden view in the window. If I come to SF, this is a must. I didn't bring yoga mat due to traveling, I recommend to bring a towel to sweat on. The floors are the soft martial art type floors. Love Body Temp Yoga!

Recently restarted my fitness journey (and started yoga/pilates). Tiktok had done it for me where I…read moresee all the girlies go to hot pilates- so guess what I did... I looked up hot pilates and body temp seems to be one of the very VERY few places to offer hot mat pilates in SF. I booked my first class with Patty and ever since I've been locked in. Patty's flow is smooth and challenging. She offers modifications and compliments when we most need it. The studio is small and there is only 1 class happening at a time. They have changing rooms and they also have 1 bathroom but no showers so be ready to baby wipe your self if you have work afterwards or go home to shower because you will be hot and sweaty after. (I hope this review does not make it challenging for me to book Patty's classes ah!! Patty if you'r reading this, I am shy and would like to hear more hip hop songs lol)

I don't remember it having been heated in years past but i love a little sweat. Maddy and I came here last Tuesday after work and then again this morning on a Sunday am. They have lots of great class options but 11 am Sunday flow was definitely my favorite.. I mean what better way to end the weekend? The music in class was amazing and the focus on movement to breathe totally set the tone for the rest of the day. If I lived in SF, I'd definitely become a member. They have a few different locations and tho I have yet to check any of the others out, if they're anything like SF YOGA FlOW on Union St, I'd highly suggest! The studio has big glass windows and is perched on the second floor on the corner of union, so the space is filled with light and greenery from the trees on the street.
