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.

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.

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.

She didn't just encourage me to keep showing up -- she met me exactly where I was, without making me feel like I needed to be okay with where I was. That's a rare gift. What sets this class apart is how genuinely individualized the instruction is. Every woman in that room had her own set of challenges, and every single one of us was seen and addressed specifically -- given real feedback, targeted exercises, actual solutions. Not generic modifications. Not a one-size-fits-all approach. Real care. The community is something special too. Being surrounded by other pregnant women who get it -- some who've been through it before, who related to my birth story, who showed up week after week -- that sense of being held in a room full of people who understand is worth more than I can put into words. This is 100% worth every penny. If you're pregnant and wondering whether to go -- go. Your body and your heart will thank you. I almost talked myself out of joining -- I already have a big gym membership and honestly wondered how much I could realistically do right now. I'm 6 months pregnant with a 10-month-old at home, and my body has been a whole situation: vein/nerve pain in my knee, hip pain, rib pain, shoulder and deltoid tension from breastfeeding. I was exhausted before I walked in the door. But Ashley's prenatal yoga class changed something for me, and I feel so much better!!!! I an learning a LOT. They have 4 locations and tons of workshops too. I took a class the other day where we literally just laid there and meditated and relaxed with our legs up and I had no idea how much I needed that.

They bring so much presence, humor and humanity to the Power Yoga practices they lead. Yes, the room is *hot* and yes, it's a sweaty, challenging flow, and yes, there goes your gorgeous blowout. But it's so worth it. After only six weeks I'm feeling more flexible and more connected to my breath, and I'm recovering the strength and muscles I'd lost when I stopped doing ridiculously hard, ridiculously taxing HIIT workouts. The music is great, the lighting could be a little lower but really it's fine - and once you get into the flow, nothing matters. I also love that they don't physically push me too much to find my "edge" - a regrettable tendency from my past that my hips and hamstrings will never let me forget. Ouch. The moment that reinforced my love for this studio; I have to take this week off from hot sweaty yoga, so I tried a different, quite popular, not-hot Marin yoga studio this morning. It was super run-of-the-mill and just not the grounding, exhilarating, consciousness-opening experience that I get at Red Dragon. Oh!
