I came here for the shortest day of the year the Winter Solstice yoga class with Michelle Klink…read more The space was packed but the layout with the candlelight etc. was awesome and Michelle is such a great instructor. I'll do yoga anywhere with her. I brought my husband and he really enjoyed it. The space is so small I have no idea what it's like for a regular class. This location is not near where I live so probably wouldn't become my regular studio. Before entry, there's a bench where everyone leaves their shoes outside and then after you enter, there's someone with a screen to check you in and then there's plenty of gear: blocks, cushions, blankets for the massive amount of people we were that night which was pretty impressive. There is a bathroom And the space was clean and cozy. Very sweet. Super efficient space. I could see this being somebody's go to if this is in your neighborhood. I do recommend it, lots of charm in this little corner that has really become a somewhere now there's a there, there.

Just had a brilliant class with Casey - one of the newer Pilates instructors at The Studio. I'm not…read morenew to Pilates, so I can be pretty selective. Casey's class was energetic and a great workout - not to mention a lot of fun! Unlike a number of instructors I've seen, Casey seems very skilled. She impressed me by taking the time to ensure my reformer was set correctly and she answered my questions before the class started (and even asked me some to ensure I got the most out of the session). I really had the sense she cares about ensuring the class had a good workout, used correct posture/safety and that her clients feel they achieving their health and fitness goals. There are only six spaces in her classes, which is great from an attention perspective, but not so great as those spaces sometimes fill before I register. I'm hoping Casey will add a second Saturday class. She's becoming so popular at The Studio.

Show up for the classes, stay for the teachers, and become a part of The Studio Family…read more My partner and I joined because this is literally right down the street from us, they had a $45 unlimited special, and I wanted to try out a few studios before committing to anything long-term. They use the mind-body app to schedule so it is super easy to get into a class and reserve your spot. The teachers have their own unique styles. My first class was with Brittany - she teaches a power flow so get ready to sweat and travel through your flow multiple times. The room is heated but not on fire. My favorite things about her class are 1) she teaches with touch (you can opt-out if you want but OMG don't) and 2) she brings her authentic self to every class. My next class was with Peter and I guess I am a little crazy but I took the classes back to back each week for a total of over 2 hours of yoga in a night. Peter is a laid-back and unassuming dude who quickly impresses you with his immense knowledge of the position names, ways to improve your form, and how to do positions you never thought you could (think high crows, inversions, and interesting stands). He teaches an open class however so it's perfect for people of all skill levels - just be open to at least trying something past your comfort zone. I also took a truly impressive Iyengar class with Barbara. She has a ton of training from India and we connected because of the time I spent in Rishikesh (birthplace of Yoga). Her class is 75 min and you really only do 5-6 poses in total... but you do 5-6 versions of each pose and work your way up to really finding your own body's proper form. This class is perfect for any skill level including people who have injuries or surgeries since she can walk you through a number of variations to help. For the more advanced, get ready to activate muscles you didn't know existed and figure out why that one pose never felt right - because she will get you in shape quickly. I am missing a few other instructors and I would be remiss to not mention the staff and owners. They are super nice, have a really cute dog visit once and a while, and keep the place really clean and approachable. They have showers, mats, and all the extras if you need that sort of thing. Thank you STUDIO! I'll update the review when I get back from traveling to see how it changes over the year.

Bridget welcomed them, too. Happy you're here. Glad you made it. Better with you here. Immediately, I liked that. Come as you are. All of us. ~ The Guide: Bridget Lavin * Love Flows Vinyasa If she led us somewhere that didn't feel good, Bridget said, listen to ourselves. Our breath. Our practice. Time for us. Seated cross-legged, we swept our arms overhead and back down. Snow angels. Without the snow. Then standing. Hands at heart. Sankalpa. What did we need? For me, Be here. Right now. Nothing new. Still needed. We moved. Made shapes. Breathed into them. Fluttered our lips in Downward Dog. Then Lion's Breath. Bridget kept bringing us back to what is. The "isness" of right now. After Sun B, Child's Pose. Through the window, a little boy called out: "Close your eyes and count to ten!" I smiled. And played along. Standing balances. Deep stretches. Before Savasana, Bridget thanked the teachers who passed this practice along, helping us move through the world with more ease. "What a gift." Truly. ~ The Story Behind the Guide: After class, I thanked Bridget for such a connecting, self-loving practice. She found yoga at thirteen, practicing with her mother. Her parents encouraged her to follow what she loved. So she did. Years later, the rest of us got to practice inside that decision. ~ The Space & Place: Upstairs, above a courtyard of shops. Ganesha welcomes you in. Wood floors. Bright reception. A little seating. A little retail. "dear Yoga" invites love letters. A spacious yoga room. White walls. Exposed beams. Open windows. ~ The Field Note: "What is" can teach us, if we leave a window open. ~ The Sum-Up: Bridget invited us to welcome the sounds around us. Then thanked the teachers who passed the practice along. That evening, my teacher was outside the window playing hide-and-seek.

Teacher Lauren Cohen is awesome - grounded, well balanced sequences, supportive and kind. There's lots of parking which makes in and out easy and stress free. The not-so-good: limited number of classes offered and teachers can be hit or miss. Estee Fletter was amazing and has sadly left the studio. A few vanilla flavored teachers (especially late afternoon) seem to just be going through the motions and seem only willing to engage with younger students (or male students...) Not as many offering as some of the other studios in Marin: one huge room that sometimes barely has 10-12 students and an outdoor deck that would be lovely for classes but sadly is seldom used. The whole space worked so well when it was YogaWorks and the space has so much potential if they'd only cut the large studio into two and offer moonlight or morning classes in the Sun deck. Instead, there's the one big studio that's mostly empty and only affords them to offer one or two classes in the morning and the afternoon. If there were more rooms and more offerings, I'd probably get an unlimited membership; but as it is now, it's just not worth it. In conclusion, it's great for a one off class now and then but doesn't (for me at least) offer a long term home for yoga.

Her knowledge base is very broad and comprehensive. Yet for yoga class, all you need to do is listen carefully when she directs your body. I started a few years ago and I wasn't seeing results for over a year. The pandemic got in the way until we used Zoom. Julia gives us links to her classes. I made a point f taking her yoga class from a linked class and started a new yoga schedule, taking it at least 3's a week. My body transformed. I was so amazed that I developed "yoga butt." I am now stronger than ever. Julia has the amazing ability to combine her deep knowledge of a few schools of yoga, her deep understanding of kinesthetics, anatomy, physiology, and yoga poses that she brilliantly even sometimes invents. I have been in dance class since I was four. I have taken a ton of yoga classes all over the bay area and online. I will not take a class if it is not taught by Julia. One must attend class on a regular basis and once in class, just listen quietly and Julia will take you on the most exquisite yoga journey that will transform your body in an hour and a half. It is with the greatest pleasure that I urge you to participate in the best yoga workout you have ever experienced as you grow to understand your own body's strengths and limitations that will only expand if you remain rigorous with your practice. Please come and join us. Everyone welcomes you, especially Julia. Thank you, Melanie Hahn
