I am in love with this yoga studio. They are the only hot yoga studio in Pleasant Hill and Concord and Walnut Creek that still has a family community feel to it. They are really on top of their cleaning game which is incredibly refreshing and offer a wide variety of classes that are friendly to all ages, and abilities. Their staff is friendly and the community is also close-knit and there's a mature vibe that feels inclusive here. Every time I come to visit the Bay Area, I make sure to book classes at this studio. read more

I've really loved this studio and have had great experiences in the past which is why I was disappointed by what happened today. I arrived about 10 minutes before my scheduled class but no one informed me which room the class would be in or what equipment we needed, which is usually communicated. When I walked in I noticed there was no one in the room and started wondering if something had changed because classes are normally full. I heard people asking about weights, so I assumed they were attending a different class. I stepped outside to use the restroom and waited to see if anyone else would come in, but I was still unsure of where my class was being held. When I went outside again, I saw someone rushing out for a block and realized the class was actually happening in a different room. By that point, the class had already started, and I was scrambling to figure out where to go and what equipment I needed. I had to carry everything from the other room into the correct class area while trying not to interrupt. I'm not sure if it was because I was perceived as being "late," but the instructor, Kylie Gifford, told me the class was full, even though there appeared to be one open spot in the front. I had woken up at 6 am, driven 25-30 minutes to get there, and had already taken my pre-workout in preparation for the class. Being offered to take the 8 AM class instead didn't feel like a practical solution after already making that effort and arriving on time. I left feeling upset, embarrassed and disappointed by the experience. I understand things happen, but I hope the studio can improve communication especially with class pass members to ensure they feel welcomed and know exactly where to go and what they need when they arrive. I truly enjoy this studio and hope this feedback helps create a better experience for future guests. read more

Updated Review: It has been over 4 years and this is still my home away from home. If you are looking for an amazing studio with incredible instructors, and heated rooms that are actually hot, look no further. They continually add more classes and offer variety for those looking for more. Bikram, Bikram Beats, Inferno Hot Pilates, Hot Flow, Hot Fusion, Slow Flow, Meditation and Soundbath, you name it. It is such a great community and you will feel the love when you come in and take your first class. They offer a great new student special $50 for 2 weeks unlimited classes. What a steal, no excuses to not give it a try. Trust me, you won't regret it. read more

Wow I have been coming here for many years now and I love how much progress I've seen in my yoga and Pilates practice. I am so grateful to be able to be apart of this yoga community and to be able to learn new sequences when I attend classes here! All of the instructors are amazing and very knowledgeable with each of their classes. Thank you Align! read more

I came here once from classpass and took a heated class with weights. The instructor Sara, was AWESOME! I have yet to come back to this studio but I can't wait to come back. The cold lavender towel at the end of class really made me love this studio that much more. Good deal for their intro offer even though I haven't tried it yet! read more

I have been going to Align Yoga for around 2 years now and it never disappoints! The instructor's are great, studio is very clean, and they even hand out lavender infused towels during savasana. I love it here! read more

I joined Align Yoga in August 2024, admittedly a bit skeptical at first. But after taking my first class with Danielle, I was immediately hooked. She has a natural way of encouraging everyone in the room, and her energy creates such a positive and motivating experience. Hot Pilates quickly became a fun and engaging workout for me, but I've also enjoyed other classes like Hot Flow Yoga with Regine and Strength Fusion with Kristen. Each instructor brings their own unique style and talent--Stephanie and Kay included--and I've had a great experience in every single class. No matter the workout, it's always a great time at Align. The community, the instructors, and the variety of classes make it a place I genuinely look forward to coming back to. read more

5 stars especially for Larissa's Inferno Hot Pilates! She's worth the membership alone! The best class in the bay!

I tried this place via classpass. Look at their schedule and sign up ahead of time if you want a spot. It gets busy. Parking: limited so you will most likely have to find street parking. Make sure you read where you can and cannot park. Other businesses generally don't want you taking up their spaces. Staff and facility: polite front desk and nice instructors, esp if it's your first time there. It's well kept throughout the facility. Class: i did hot pilates and it's a good workout. Make sure you bring your own mat and towel to lay on your mat. You can bring an additional smaller towel if you sweat a lot. It is a small room with a full class. I felt like a sardine. Two different ppl touched my feet and I accidentally high fived another person when we were stretching. I prefer to have more space for class. read more

If I could give it more stars I would! Robert is THE best and gives a killer workout that is SO fun you don't even know you're working out except for the sweat pouring off of you!! read more

Align Yoga - Me n my bestie getting our sweat on at an AMAZING 6:30 class with Regine!! - Yoga Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Really enjoyed spending some time at Align Yoga while visiting some family in the Bay! They have an amazing 2 week trial deal which I was able to take advantage of to try them out. I tried hot yoga, hot pilates, and the evening sound bath meditation - everything was amazing! Would absolutely have a membership if I lived in the area and highly recommend Align to anyone looking for a new yoga spot. read more

I love this studio so much. I have been practicing here since January 2024 and I'm hooked. Besides from the array of different styles of yoga classes, the teachers and staff get to know the students, making this such a welcoming environment. I've felt seen since day 1. I'm hooked because I whole heartedly look forward to coming here, seeing everyone and learning from great teachers. Align family for sure. I appreciate all of the work they put in, the corrections and kindness they give. read more

Absolutely obsessed--I've been coming here for almost three years now. All the instructors are amazing, it's super clean, vibes are great. If you're looking for a studio to call home, Align is the place! Highly recommend: Mona for ashtanga (I've never felt stronger and I've never felt more connected to my practice thanks to her. If you want to learn how to press into handstands, just go to her class all the time. Even if you're a beginner she will stop and ensure you're supported. If you've been doing yoga for years she will teach you precision alignment) Danielle for IHP (immaculate vibes and will make you can feel like you can climb any mountain) Sue for integrated Hatha (guru vibes, will push you to your max and you'll feel like you metaphorphisized into a new version of yourself) Stacie for flow (fun, accessible vinyasa that will always keep you guessing and challenged) Kashuik for Hot fusion (you will enter another spiritual plane--powerful mix of bikram + ashtanga + ghosh. If you want to experience your practice in a new way, take his class!!) read more

I've been practicing Bikram Yoga for years and have visited nearly every studio in the East Bay. Align Yoga is, without a doubt, the best! I've been coming here for about two years, and it has been an incredible experience. The instructors are exceptional--they genuinely care about their students and take the time to circulate and adjust postures during class. The studio keeps the ideal temperature and humidity for Bikram, ensuring an authentic and effective practice. Beyond Bikram, Align Yoga offers other fantastic classes, like Pilates, which are always packed--a testament to their quality. The studio is exceptionally well-maintained, featuring clean and spacious changing rooms stocked with hair products for members. A special touch that I absolutely love is the cold towels they provide after heated classes--such a refreshing way to end a session! A big shoutout to Dash, the owner, for creating a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere. He knows nearly every member by name, which speaks volumes about the culture at Align Yoga. If you're searching for an outstanding yoga studio in the East Bay, I highly recommend Align Yoga! read more

Amazing hot yoga studio! I've done hot yoga and hot yoga/cardio classes before and this studio is a lovely local version of some of the larger chains offering similar classes. I signed up for the $50 new member offer which gives you access to 2 weeks of unlimited classes. I tried a wide range of classes and enjoyed all of them. The instructors are friendly and welcoming and the studio itself is very clean. There's a small attached parking lot and I never had issues finding parking, but I imagine if there are 2 classes happening at the same time the lot would be a bit crowded. Once my 2 week trial was up I immediately got a class pass and signed up for more classes. You can book everything online in an app which makes the whole experience simple. Can't wait to continue my hot yoga practice here! read more

love the yoga sculpt and inferno hot pilates classes. danielle raab is one of the best instructors i've ever come across. and although larissa only teaches tuesdays at noon, if im ever off those days i always make a point to take her class. if you're looking for a fun place to workout i highly recommend! read more

Great Bikram and Bikram fusion classes, has just about everything for everyone! Great instructors

I signed up initially interested in their hot yoga classes, but tried Inferno Hot Pilates and I'm absolutely hooked. All of the instructors are absolutely incredible. Robert is super knowledgeable and has so much great info about form, while bringing energy to his class. Danielle is a fricking rockstar--she brings her absolute A-game to every class she teaches. She has an incredible amount of energy, helps to keep the whole class motivated. Plus she is so funny while also poignant at the right times. I love every class so far that I've attended at the studio and signed up for a membership because I'm totally addicted. Highly recommend. read more

I've been practicing mainly Ashtanga & Vinyasa Yoga for the last 14 years but decided to finally branch out into Bikram - & now I'm asking myself why in the world did I wait so long? Incredible is an understatement. I took my first class today with Dash and it's safe to say, I'm addicted. Very clear instruction and an overall AMAZING class. This class may have been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences I have ever had. I am very active regularly, but nothing has produced close to the after affect Bikram has. The feeling is unreal. I now completely understand why people stick to this practice for the majority of their life - the feeling, the physical, mental and emotional benefits, the constant humbling resulting in remaining grounded...we are very lucky to not only have Bikram, but an incredible instructor like Dash to teach us. It's life changing, truly. The studio itself is pristine and extremely well kept. The staff is incredible; making you feel super comfortable and welcome the moment you walk in. Top notch customer service at its finest. This is a very special place for a number of reasons. How fortunate I feel to have stumbled across it and plan to return for many years to come. read more

Excellent studio-Clean, friendly and great schedule. I pay for single passes when I am in the neighborhood, and the pricing is very fair. Highly recommend fheir Bikram classes. read more

More than just a yoga studio! Has many offerings. Space is clean. Friendly community. Pilates instructors Danielle Raab and Stephany Campos are both engaging and bring positive vibes into the room. All levels are welcomed to practice together. Come and feel invigorated! read more

I've been practicing with Align Yoga for a couple of years now, and it holds a special place in my heart. It was my first-ever yoga studio, and over time, it's become such an important part of my life, honestly can't imagine my days without it. I usually take Bikram or Inferno Hot Pilates, and every instructor I've had has been incredible. The energy here is always so positive and uplifting, it's the kind of place that leaves you feeling better every time you walk out. I've loved watching this community grow, and feel so lucky to have found this studio. Can't recommend it enough:) read more

I've been wanting to write a review for this amazing studio for a while. I have been a member well before pandemic and was beyond ecstatic upon reopening. I cannot say enough. Amazing instructors, wide array of classes and times, community is beyond amazing. We are so fortunate to have this gem in the area. Dash and Amy are both exceptional in every way. They take such good care of the studio, always clean, organized, and I simply cannot say how much you all mean to me and so many I know feel the same. And, what fantastic instructors. All fabulous, but my schedule has me mostly with Dash, Stephany, Danielle, Sue, Sal, who are all fantastic! I wish I could do more with Ivo, Kristin, Tiffany, Felicity, Larisaa, Kay, Kashiuk, Mona. So many and each is exceptional. We are so fortunate! read more

Excellent clean facility with friendly instructors. I've been away from hot yoga for many many years and I appreciated that I was not called out in class and any corrections are done privately. I have many injuries so I can't do some of the poses perfectly but I can try at my own pace. There are hardwood floors and they're cleaned/sanitized between classes. There's also cleaner available for your mat in the classroom. There's parking, lockers for your things. During the last posture I was pleasantly surprised by a cold wet (eucalyptus? infused) refreshing towel. The room is very hot! :-). You sign up for class online so the room isn't overcrowded. I got the 2 week package for $50. I have only tried Bikram yoga so far but will try the hot fusion and any other hot things I can squeeze in. Great studio! read more

I joined Align a few years ago, but I'm not new to yoga practice. I've tried multiple studios in the SF Bay Area, and after taking a couple of their new student special packages, I was hooked. For me, it's mainly about the energy a studio brings, and without a doubt, Align checked that box. If you're not all about energy but are looking for personable, knowledgeable, and supportive instructors, multiple yoga styles, a clean/well-maintained facility, and convenient class schedules (with classes as early as 6 am and as late as 7 pm), then this studio is your best option. If you love heated classes, Align really heats you up; not into dripping sweat? They offer regular, non-heated classes on the schedule. Align also holds regular community workshops and events, so you can learn new tools for self-care and connect with other yoga lovers. There's much more to say about Align, but I encourage you to find out for yourself by immersing in the experience. Namaste read more

My favorite studio for yoga and Pilates classes. Do you want hot yoga? It is really hot. I love it. The instructors are nice and knowledgeable. The studio is clean and organized. There is bathroom to take shower (amazing, huh?!). I am regular and I take classes at least 4x week. 5 stars is not enough! read more

Align Yoga is amazing! I've been to many different hot yoga studios, but nothing beats Align Yoga. Their Inferno Hot Pilates classes not only help you get toned and in great shape, but they're also incredibly fun. Thanks to the instructors' amazing playlists! You have to try Danielle's IHP classes. I always have such a great time there. She's super engaging, knows how to push and motivate you, and makes everyone feel welcome. She even remembers everyone's name and goes out of her way to make new students feel included. If you're looking for a place to work out, get fit, and be part of a supportive community, Align Yoga is the place for you. If you are unsure if it's the right fit, try their new student discount to see how you like it :)! read more

I just tried hot yoga for the first time and I'm so glad I chose Align Yoga! From start to finish everyone was so welcoming! They gave us a tour showing us where to put our things and where supplies are located. They explained how hot yoga works, where to place ourselves and what to expect. At the end of class we were provided cold lavender towels which really just sealed the deal! I highly recommend Align Yoga! Thank you for providing such a welcoming experience that felt safe read more

First time booking with this yoga studio, wanted to give it a shot before buying more classes. Went with Jen, for a 90 minute session. It was by far the worst first timer yoga class to be a part of. The entire time I spent trying to figure out what language she was speaking. Her words went so fast it was like she was speaking a different dialect. Majority of time spent trying to figure out what pose we're doing since all she was doing was speaking and not showing us. The room is packed like sardines, hot and humid which I enjoyed, but packed beyond belief. Ended up gathering my stuff and leaving 30minutes prior to class ending due to not understanding this teachers language and having a hard time with flowing due to it! None of the class schedules tell you that your teacher is going to speak fast, not participate or speak multiple languages during the session. Highly recommend checking into the store first before booking otherwise you might end up in the situation I was in. The reception even mentioned that was normal for her class...sadly didn't get that info until afterwards. read more

This is the place! Great Instructors, friendly atmosphere, perfect studio. I will be back again and again. Thank you Align Yoga!! read more

I love inferno hot pilates with my entire heart and soul. It is so powerful and so motivating and so good for the soul, but what keeps me coming back to align is Danielle. She is a queen and she is the definition of power, creativity and love. I go back to her class because of how much I LOVE her after class. She pushes me soo so so hard and makes me feel sexier and stronger every time I work out with her. I love Danielle with my whole heart. Happy day 365 read more

Danielle Raab is a MUST! Where do I even start? She is hands down the best instructor I have ever taken! I have never felt more motivated and inspired by a an instructor or a class. She has helped transform my post partem body as well as reinvigorated my confidence. I rarely look forward to working out but find myself excited for each of her classes. Her workouts are BOMB. Her playlists are BOMB. Her energy is BOMB. Just amazing. Could not recommend the studio and her more strongly. read more

I'm addicted to hot yoga/ Pilates/......even Bikram now because of this studio. All of the instructors I've taken a class with have been super friendly and helpful. The community is great and once you start going regularly you get to know the regulars, which is fun. Most are nice! I also like the attention they pay to your poses and the little hints they give during class to strengthen your pose and help you get better. This is probably the first time that I've ever actually been consistent with my practice and I'm so happy that i actually enjoy my time there + space is clean and well maintained. Parking lot gets fulllllll though, but not their fault. I encourage whoever is reading this to take a class and come say hi, because I'll probably be there! read more

I started going to classes at Align about four months ago. The first class I took was hot Pilates with Danielle Raab, man did I jump off the deep end. BUT it was in the best way possible. I had never been so challenged and cheered on at the same time than in her class. Danielle learns your name by the first class you attend. After that first class, she will call out your name whether it's to cheer you on when you think you can't go anymore or to give you little critiques to help you along the way. Danielle is the reason I quit my other gym and started going to Align to take her classes. read more

I've been doing Yoga (mostly Bikram) in the Bay Area for 30 years and Align is my favorite studio. The place is clean, lively and extremely well-run. The owner, Dash Nagata, cares a lot about the quality of the classes, the cleanliness of the studio, and overall positive vibe that's important to keeping students coming back. Who else but Align is going to bring you a cold lavender-scented towel to lay across your hot brow at the end of a class? Where else is a Pilates class going to have the feel of a rave? This place is a 10/10. read more

The absolute worst restorative- 3 postures in an hour, 2 were savasana. My experience with restorative is deep poses, supported twists, sinking into a long pigeon pose and other hip openers. Instead, this was a guided nap/lecture on meditation, completely supine for an hour. What a waste. read more

All instructors are wonderful. I really enjoy the classes here. Give it a try you will be hooked.

I'm so glad I found this yoga studio! Dash, the owner, is so kind and everyone is so welcoming. I've taken flow with Amanda, Yin with Edward, and hot fusion with Holly, and all classes have been great. The hot classes are tough but feel so rewarding after. I've only started coming here less than one month and I am hooked! read more

I contacted this business asking if I could have an extension on my 5 class credits remaining due to an impending surgery I wasn't able to exercise as even yoga aggravated my chronic pelvic issues. I was told not unless I purchase more. The problem is this studio isn't convenient to go to so buying more classes wasn't an option. I am just disappointed they couldn't accommodate me I was willing to provide a doctor's note. I won't be returning. read more

This is the best hot yoga studio in the Bay Area & I'm not saying that lightly. Skilled teachers - top of the list is its owner, Dash. They offer other classes: Hot Pilates, Fusion and Vinyasa Flow that are equally as challenging, but with more great teachers who bring trained expertise, understanding of your body's needs and fun to their students. The studio is spotless. Deep cleaned and aired out after every class. The locker rooms are "spa like". Lots of space and huge showers. Dash is always looking for ways to innovate & improve. He is the friendliest, high energy and understanding teachers out there, but concurrently disciplined and highly trained. Filtered water is available free of charge and you can get clean mats & towels at front desk. Is it obvious that I really love this studio? I do not write many reviews, but during these times, I realize how important it is that people know where quality, affordability and consideration are provided. read more
