Elevate Community Yoga is the hidden gem of Modesto! I was new to the area and looking to restart my yoga practice after a 6 year break. Once I walked into Elevate's studio I knew I found my place and my people. The community here is so special, the studio is inviting and has everything you need whether you are a beginner or have lots of experience. Ellen's class on Sundays are my weekend staple, she has a way of approaching the class that is both challenging but also meets you where you are in your experience level. She is kind, approachable and experienced. The owners Cat and Paul and wonderful people, they have created an incredible environment for the community and they are invested in their guests experience. Each instructor brings something unique and special to the class and I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I've taken multiple classes here in the past and all the instructors have been excellent! Being a practitioner of yoga for many decades, I can sincerely testify to the quality of this yoga studio. It is an oasis in Modesto. Today I took Cat's chair yoga class and loved it, as I'm just getting back into practice after some recent health issues. I was thrilled to be introduced to her. She & her husband own the studio and it is truly "elevating". read more

Yoga works, and Elevate is an amazing studio and very restorative, safe, calm, inviting and clean space. I've lived 2 blocks away for years and this little studio is a hallmark of Roseburg Sq. Watching (and supporting....always support local businesses) Elevate from afar has been cool, I always shied away from public classes for fear of toppling over during a grueling down dog and crushing someone. The instructors (Sharon is an absolute saint on earth) and owner Kaycie are incredible, kind and very patient with newcomers. (as a Man, you have no idea how important this is) My only regret is that I didn't start sooner and was doing traditional weight lifting, which wrecked my joints over the years. The energy and skill level of this studio is incredible given the fact that it's still humble and community-based. They are total pros, but it feels like home. I consider myself lucky to have a Yoga studio of this caliber so close to home. Do it and do not wait. Trust me on this. read more

Beautiful studio in the Roseburg Square! The studio has a great variety of classes and the people are so wonderful. Highly recommend!!

This is a more spacious studio than that crowded picture implies. It's clean. Tidy. The music is a reasonable level. They do use essential oil diffusers but (on a Sunday morning) the lavender scent was very mild. They provide bolsters, mats, blankets, and blocks - all of which are in good condition. It feels welcoming and peaceful. So the studio scores a 5 out of a 5 with me. Now, I've been doing yoga for more than twenty years, 15 at various studios in Los Angeles. I've studied at Kripalu. In the last year, my wife and I have been taking the occasional private lesson but I injured my knee in November and she had her shoulder replaced in October. I do regular stretches and exercises at home, but we are both seriously out of shape and we're in our late fifties. The back, knees, shoulders, hips, and more just don't work as well as they used to... before the unfortunate hiatus of the past six months. But this is not unusual. You will always have a range of experience and abilities in any class and classes that cater to a range of yoga practitioner should take this into consideration. Also, every yoga instructor is different in style, experience, training and personality. As we have only tried one class and one instructor, I can't begin to provide an evaluation of the classes provided and the general quality of the instructors. That being said, I can tell you what to expect from Sharon Taporco's "Slow Flow" Sunday morning class. To start with, based on my experience, Sharon is a superb instructor. She speaks loudly enough to be heard at the back of the class, gives clear directions, and demonstrates the more arcane movements in front of multiple groups of students, and her own alignment is excellent. That being said, do not be misled by the title of the class. Despite her conviction that this is a mindful, "slow" version of a Vinyasa class (which means you are moving almost constantly, "flowing" from one position to another with little time to stretch in the positions), this class is a Level 2+. It would be a Level 3 if she had thrown in a couple of inversions. She threw in some poses that I have only seen once or twice. So she knows her stuff. You'll build strength, your heart rate will be elevated, you will sweat a bit. It's a solid Vinyasa class of surprising quality. My only critique of the class as a L2-3 is that the Savasana at the end was a bit crowded by a few too many Down Dogs and perhaps a bit too much talking. However, and in all fairness I have to say this... if you have blood pressure issues, the amount of time you spend with your head down may be a problem. If you have joint or back issues, or are not in great physical condition, this class will far exceed your abilities. It's not a "general community" type of class. If the Saturday and Sunday morning classes are to encourage people of all levels to grow their practices and build their strength and health, they need to be directed toward a lower median. read more

I come to this place once a while and I really love it and its classes. Tried different yoga places in Modesto and this one is quite popular. The instructors have different classes everyday. If you are not that busy, join the morning classes because evening and weekend classes are more packed. They have special events once a while such as the meditation stuff. The instructors are super nice. You can choose monthly membership or buy passes. read more

I have only been to one class so far, but I plan to come back. Really nice for a drop in, it had been a while, and my body needed this. I went to a 9 am weekday class, and it wasn't crowded at all, maybe 12 students or so. The space is airy and inviting, the people seemed really down to earth, and it wasn't too easy or difficult- the instructor was able to gracefully teach a multi level class without leaving anyone out. There aren't any mirrors, which was actually a nice change for me. I can't wait for my schedule to allow me to try a yin yoga class, hopefully it will be offered more frequently in the future. read more

Community based space. Elevate is for all levels including beginners! I love how clean the studio is kept. The instructors are on knowledgeable and welcoming!!! You won't leave disappointed. Take yin with Annabell! She helps with modifications. read more

This is an amazing studio! It's affordable, the teachers are great, there's a wide range of class times, and the environment is super relaxing. Everyone is very welcoming and there is truly a strong sense of community. Also if your looking for something extra relaxing be sure to check out restore by Bee. read more

Studio is very clean and inviting! Monday's and Wednesday's Yin with Sharon is the absolute best! She knows exactly what she's doing. Very helpful and calming voice. I have been checking out different studios to find one to call home so when I came here and members were friendly and welcoming I knew this was going to be my home studio! read more

I have known about this yoga studio for a couple years as I'd taken a class by Kaycie many years ago. I finally made it in as my mom has said how much she loves the classes and studio. I couldn't have been happier! Made it to Vinyasa 2 and loved it. Great breath work, meditation, and sequences. Also, the studio itself looks and smell lovely! read more

I have been going about 2 times per weeks since January 1 2019 and have learned so much and I really enjoy it. I felt completely comfortable as a new person, and the instruction is solid so I can participate and keep up or take a child's pose to rest. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, the whole place has a friendly vibe which I really appreciate. read more

This is a wonderful studio! It's donation based, so you can just drop in whenever and give a donation. They have memberships (with discounts for auto pay), punch cards, and drop in. In addition to that, the atmosphere was welcoming and the instructor was amazing. The instructor of the vinyasa class provides options for varying levels of yogis. This studio is a gem. read more

Wonderful new studio located in Roseburg Square that focuses on Flow yoga - that is, connecting yoga poses with the breath and flowing from pose to pose. Owner Kaycie and other instructors are well-versed in yoga theory and encourage self-awareness and self-care in the practice. This is a fantastic addition to the college-area neighborhood that encourages a sense of community. read more

This place only has 5 reviews?? I love this sweet little studio. Always a perfect mix of physical challenge and spiritual facelift. Thanks guys! read more

Being a hairstylist my schedule is really tight and sometimes random! I love that they have so many classes. Me and my friend went for a class this morning and we loved it! We noticed after our session that parts of our bodies that were aching before didn't after. Great space very clean, very calm, teachers are amazing! Defiantly give this place a try! I cannot wait for my next class!! read more

This is my favorite studio in town. The vibe here is very welcoming and the decor is super cute. All the teachers practice yoga regularly themselves and are wonderful in helping you deepen your own practice in an environment that makes you immediately feel at home. It's a donations based studio so no one ever turns you away and you can buy packages for classes based on your own needs that are very affordable. They add additional pop-up classes pretty regularly so I always check the schedule on the website for new gems. The Ashtanga classes are my personal favorite. Again, love love love this studio! read more
