Let the heat and constant movement of your body during the hot pilates, bikram or buti, lower your anxiety and release the fury here! I like the new take on disco colors inside with R rated music! It gets me to be how I want to be, let loose, and leave all the problems that goes on outside of my yoga mat! It's like I'll deal with it later, but first, yoga for my soul please! Hot, move, sweat and repeat! Listen to pump up music and get your workout going! Let's get it working! Yes! ...And instead of namaste, they end with thank you! Epiphany from Hella - If your mind keeps moving, treat your body just as well and let it keep pace to your mind. Balance is key. Thank you!

Such a cute yoga/Pilates studio! I've only been here twice, but each time I've came, I got a great…read moreworkout, and leave DRIPPING in sweat!! Located close to Bart, UC Berkeley, you can easily get here using public transportation. The instructors keep the class motivated while challenging us. I always leave feeling better than I showed up because I know I got a great workout. Today's class was 90's themed and they always have a bumpin' playlist. It was easy to squat and hit each rep with the beat. Make sure to show up 15 minutes early to check in, grab a cubby, set up your mat and towel, and grab the appropriate weights and bands. I bring a fitness mat, a hand towel, water, and a hot yoga/Pilates towel made of microfiber. It's perfect for the heated room because trust me you will SWEAT. They don't offer wipes to clean your mat after, only for their weights. I like the studio, lots of disco lights and music. They keep the studio dark, so I always feel comfortable, no one is looking at you. It's a judge free zone! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a challenging

I absolutely adore this place. Nice, clean space with great natural lighting. All the necessary…read moreequipment is already there (no need to bring your own mat). Jess is a wonderful teacher and she really takes time to know her students/clients. She also goes around the room and modifies poses depending on how advanced of a student you are. I started off with the Beginner Series, which was a great intro to yoga. I've tried all the scheduled classes and my favorites are the rope, Iyengar and vinyasa. TIPS - parking across the street in a lot (look for the yellow Tree of Life Yoga Clients signs) - buzz to be let into the building; studio is all the way to the back and up the gray wooden stairs - get the 10 class pass for $140...worth it! Each class is 1.5 hours and there's usually no more than 8-10 per class. I've been in some classes where there were under 5 people - if you want to get in a rope class, reserve a month in advance (seriously) If you're even thinking about trying this place, DO IT. I promise you won't regret it!

Almost everything has already been said, so I won't repeat the very true, excellent reviews…read moreregarding Jessica, the space, or the classes. Everyone is down to earth, lovely, and real. If you are into lululemon yoga pants and Eat, Pray, Love annoyingness- this is NOT the place for you. Jessica did an outstanding in-depth assessment and now she is teaching me a completely new way to move, and, frankly, to live in my own body. Since I am very analytical, I appreciate that she shares her deep knowledge of anatomy and physiology. If you are a) stressed out by a corporate environment, b) turning into a little cramped shell of back/shoulder pain, and c) you want to actually DO something about it, this review confirms that the instruction at TOLY is world-class.

Workshops and teacher training are outstanding. If you're frustrated by the "yoga industrial complex" and sad capitalist decline of informed, skilled teaching, note that this school/studio is not suffering such a fate. You need to pay the teacher directly; none of your fee is wasted on reception, "groupon" marketing, or shareholders. Try all the teachers who teach at times you are available. Each is wonderful in different ways.

It's essentially light stretching in a handful of poses throughout the class. The room I was in was wore nice with new props. I liked how they are meticulous about cleaning. I'm knocking one start off because I felt the instructor took too much time explaining how to setup whereas I've enjoyed yin classes elsewhere where the experience was more seamless. Parking doesn't ever seem to be an issue despite the fact that it's street parking. Still, I recommend arriving a bit early! I think they do rent mats for a fee.

So happy this place exists!
