I haven't really don't yoga before so I was a bit nervous. What really peaked my interest were the different yoga classes she offers once a month. There is Goat Yoga with baby goats, Puppy yoga and Kitten Yoga! I loved all of them. Such a different way to enjoy yoga but also the animals. Check out her website for future yoga classes.

I have been to yoga classes before but never an aerial yoga class! A hybrid mix of yoga with aerial hammocks? SO COOL! No matter your flexibility level or prior yoga experience, this place is good for all skill levels. The instructor explains and demonstrates things clearly. With soothing music playing, this was an experience that allows for experimenting at your own comfort level. Time flew by so fast! Phones were not allowed in the room but the instructor takes pictures (with your signed permission) and sends them to you afterwards. She even gave us chocolate strawberries at the end of the session which was such a sweet surprise!!! Laying in savasana in the hammock alone was enough for 5 stars for me. They also offer a variety of classes from barre/mat yoga, prenatal yoga, aerial yoga, and even goat yoga!!! HIGHLY recommend this place to try out with friends or even to try something out by yourself.

I just recently stumbled across Perfect Balance Yoga. Two reasons brought me to this studio…read more First it's close to my work. And second they have more class options that fit into my schedule. I had tried this studio when I first got into yoga. My experience was good but at that time I was looking for something else in my practice.. Well I didn't realize what I was looking for was there the whole time just in a different way. I've come to realize lately that I need a more challenging practice mind, body and soul. And Giovanni is the one who has opened that up to me. The way he teaches and explains movement is so detailed I can close my eyes and listen and adjust my body as need be. When he comes around to correct or aid in some spot or comfort so me as a student can trust and allow to let go, my body can release and go places I never thought was possible. I have too jumped into a basic class when that is all my Sch will allow me to do and I still get a great practice and continue to push myself by reinforcing movement correctly. In the past classes that were over 60 min just frankly bored me... Not here at PBYoga. Even in the beg class I really enjoyed the class and movement. Brought me back to the basics!! This studio is really great! If your looking for a humble environment with some added amenities, I highly recommend PBYoga. I'm very happy I found them and now can practice yoga more often with a schedule of classes that work for me!

Ten years ago, I was the kind of person that made fun of people who practiced yoga, ate vegan or…read moreworried about buying local. The last decade has taught me a lot and I find myself at Perfect Balance a few times a month for their Sunday community classes. $5 a pop, no contract. Their studio is way in the back corner of a complex, so it's private and quiet. The teachers are great at explaining things and are happy to help adjust you. Absolutely non-judgmental atmosphere. It doesn't matter if you're a ninja or a 60-year-old - they encourage you to be kind to your body and go at your own pace. It does feel a bit small in there, so when things get crowded, you'll end up spending the entire yoga class pretending you aren't staring at the rear end of the person in front of you, but that hasn't happened often. Give it a try!

Great Yoga instruction! Have taken both the beginners class and restorative class and loved them…read moreboth. I struggled to find an actual restorative class in fresno. This is the real deal.

Highly recommend this studio

Following my COVID-19 vaccination, I was in search of a restorative yoga practice on a Sunday…read moremorning. After some googling, I discovered Blanco Gold Yoga. There were no Sunday classes but the website had a contact form soliciting suggestions. Octavia responded to my inquiry quickly and within a couple of weeks, a restorative class was offered on Sunday mornings, along with a couple of other formats. I have been a faithful Sunday practitioner ever since. Octavia is kind, welcoming, open, and recognizes that attendees have different skills and abilities, offering options to accommodate that. A couple of weeks ago, I asked if we could add another 30 minutes to the restorative session; it's just that good, I don't want it to end. The next day she emailed me to let me know when the first 90 minute session would begin. You will not find a more responsive instructor in town. Octavia is the best and I'm so happy to have found her! Her restorative class is the perfect start to my week.

It's been 5 years since I reviewed Tower Yoga and I can honestly say that it's only gotten better…read more This is the cleanest, safest, most welcoming studio that I've ever experienced. The instructors are warm, genuine and deeply knowledgeable. Tower Yoga is committed to building community and offers so much more than yoga classes. Weekend workshops, a run club and book club, as well as a tea sit and meditations are part of the varied offerings. It's a studio for both daily yogis and first timers, everyone is welcome. There are different types of classes offered inat the heated location. Power Yoga or Life n Flow are the most intense workouts and will leave you drenched but feeling so good. And there are sparkling clean showers so you can leave feeling fresh!

This review has been a long time coming…read more My experience here at Tower Yoga was right before the pandemic and is based on a few encounters I had with the female owner. I want to say that the studio itself looked great and I loved the location/set up and a majority of the instructors. (Mj and Astrid) I became a paying member after a few clients mentioned it to me as I lived in the area. I took a few easy classes at first and decided to take a hot yoga class. A friend and I signed up for an intro hot yoga class which was described online as slow moving, lots of water breaks, and verbal instructions on how to breathe and so forth. When my friend and I arrived to the class it was lead by the female owner. Who I had taken a class or two with before. We went right into what felt like an intense version of hot yoga. No breaks and no instructions on how to better handle the class and difficult poses. My friend and I were so confused because we thought it would be for beginners as listed. At one point, my friend and I were struggling to keep up and she looked over at me, and I whispered, "I'm sorry." She whispered something like, "I hate you" and we both quietly laughed at ourselves and carried on. At the very end, after the instructor finished, I walked up to her and asked if they had an easier class for beginners. Her demeanor immediately changed and she got defensive. Suggesting that the free beginner class was held on a certain day. I was confused and mentioned the class that day was labeled for beginners. She didn't believe me about the description of the class being easy or for beginners so I showed her the class description from my phone thinking it was just a mix up. Confirming the description she actually rolled her eyes. Then said something along the lines that if my friend and I hadn't been talking then maybe we would have gotten more from the instruction. Let me be clear that there was no instruction and my friend and I had only one small convo which I mentioned. I told her that we were paying members and that we had no issue we just wanted to take an easier class first to help us get better. She rolled her eyes again and asked, "So what did you have trouble with?" I mentioned having a knee restriction and her response was for me not to come. At that point my friend and I left and I was very upset by how poorly I was treated. In other classes, with this same woman, I noticed the vibe was different. She's got an ego and does not handle feedback well. This sets the tone for the whole studio in my opinion. I definitely feared retaliation as she acts like a big shot in The Tower District. So be aware, if you "disagree" with her or you don't behave how she wants you to, she will show you her awful side and it's not fun. If you want to walk on eggshells and feed her ego, this place is for you. Which is unfortunate because the studio is beautiful. If this place is under new management please let me know and I will reconsider my review after taking/paying for a beginner hot yoga class.

To be honest with you, not my personal favorite. Went to a class and felt like it was social hour…read more Kind of like when you're at the dentist, you don't want to talk - I feel the same way about a workout. It's a very small group feel, everyone knows each other and ask about each others life updates throughout the class. Working out is kind of on the side. Also - not vibey, the florescent lights are a little harsh. Was looking for something young and fresh, I think this is for a bit of an older crowd. Wasn't for me, but I think some people would really resonate with the feel!

I would 1000% recommend doing one-on-one training sessions--it's the best money I've ever spent on myself. Thanks to our workouts, I had an incredibly easy delivery and post-partum recovery. Tal radiates positive energy! She kept me smiling, fit, motivated, and--most importantly--SAFE throughout my pregnancy. Her workouts were not only fun but also incorporate many moves that can actually be used during labor. She was always in-tune to my needs and would adapt her routines--even mid-workout--to make sure I was safe and pain-free. I also loved that she emphasized important foundations (e.g. proper breathing technique, connecting breath to core and pelvic floor, safe ways to get in/out of bed, ways to avoid diastasis recti, etc). I continue to use those skills daily. Not only is Tal a mama herself, she has years of experience as a specialized prenatal/post-partum personal trainer. She even stays up-to-date with ACOG recommendations and takes refresher maternal health courses. As a physician, I was impressed with the depth of her knowledge. If you train with her, you get access to her Strong Mama Fitness online for free--another incredible resource. Although she is no longer local in the Bay Area, she is available for 1-on-1 virtual training via Zoom. Our virtual sessions were super convenient, all without sacrificing quality. I can't recommend Tal enough!
