I have been here twice this week. (Thanks to my groupon of $30 for unlimited yoga!) The first time was the 6 PM Power Yoga. I got there early so parking was no brainer. (They just close the doors during practice so I waited outside. No big deal because it was sunny out!) The class was packed but I got a spot at the end which I prefer since it's my first. The teacher was good although a bit fast for my pace. The second time was this morning - 6 AM. Wow. I've been working out for 2 straight days so I felt the need to do it. The guy instructor was great! Really encouraging. He asked me if I was new. Then, after the class he called me by name. How awesome is that?! I will definitely come back to his class again. It's such a nice way to start the day! Well, you kind of just have to get up a bit earlier than everyone else. Ha. Coffee!!!! I will definitely recommend this place. The only downside for me is the entrance is a bit small and they don't have a place or locker like others to store your personal belongings. That is alright since they lock the doors upon practice. Now, all I have to think about is whether or not to sign up monthly. (That is commitment but it will be worth it) Check this place out you guys! read more

Pacifica Beach Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Pacifica, California

Simply the best!! I cannot say enough good things about it! I enjoy coming here so much, i just love it!

I have been thinking of trying hot yoga for many years and finally did so at Pacifica Beach Yoga. When I first came to the studio I was nervous about being able to do the poses and keep up. The owner, Tommy, made me feel comfortable and explained that this was not competitive and that I should go at my own pace while trying to better myself without worrying about what anyone else was doing. Anyone who knows me will agree that it is not easy for me to be calm and stay within myself. Tommy and the other instructors have taught me the art of stillness and meditation while also teaching me to push myself to be my best. Since starting yoga here I have found that my whole life has changed for the better. I am more relaxed, more able to focus and have gotten much stronger and more flexible. In a nutshell, I love this place! Give it a try. You will be happy you did. read more

Several months ago I injured my shoulder and was unable to surf or do vinyassa yoga or any of my other activities. I was able to do Bikram series however, so being lucky enough to live nearby, I purchased a 30 class card and began attending Pacifica Beach Yoga regularly. I've always had a love-hate relationship with the Bikram-type yoga. I love the heat and the series itself, but I haven't always loved the studios. Pacifica Beach Yoga uses the series and the heat, but the atmosphere is far more fun and chill and welcoming then any bikram-type studio I've ever been to. The owner Tommy knows how to get the right teachers; Ryan, Kimberly, Jamie, and every other teacher I have had there has been exceptional. That is, they were very easygoing about my injury and let me modify; They are all well trained but their dialog is easy and real and not harsh or dogmatic. The floor layout is set so that mats are naturally staggered on the floor panels, which allows every mat to have visibility forward towards the mirror. Because of this, it's never "mat to mat", never stiflingly crowded. The owner closes the door once the class starts, so there are never frantic people throwing down their mat in front of you when you are already in your jam. These things probably cut into the bottom line a little, and the fact that the owner prioritizes a serene experience over packing more bodies in and making more money speaks volumes for me. I also took the Yin classes and Megan and Aeryn were great! I've done plenty of yin yoga and they were both very well trained with great vibes. read more

Friendly place, good class, affordable prices, no shower :) - at least I didn't see any.

Been practicing yoga for 7 yrs now & only Bikram or Hot. This Studio is my most favorite & I've been member since it first opened. Tommy is inspiring & a great motivator. Yes, somewhat strict in class but, discipline is the key to this practice. If not, you're only cheating yourself. All the other Yoga instructors are also wonderful & committed in providing you have a haven for your practice whether your new or old yogini. Their price is the cheapest in SF. Place is immaculate & No Smell at all! They also provide fruits & juices at their patio at the back w/ a fire pit FREE after each class...they're the only ones that does this in theBay Area. read more

This place is awesome. Tommy has really transformed this into a very nice yoga studio. He's a great instructor as are his other instructors. They do a great job with people whether they are beginners or experts. It seems that everyone who comes here is very comfortable and happy with the experience. The patio out back and the fresh fruit are nice touches that most people really enjoy after a hot yoga workout read more

I love this little studio tucked away in Pacifica! Main reason I love the studio: 1hr Bikram and the instructors. I'm all about efficiency, if I can get what normally takes 1.5 hrs squeezed into a 1hr sesh, I'm all over it! The studio is clean and even on the busiest days, I still have enough personal space for me to do my poses. The instructors are also super friendly and encouraging. After every class, I walk out feeling amazing and accomplished (you would too after enduring an hr inside a 105 degree room)! That cool ocean breeze in my hair as I drive home is like the cherry on top. read more

I have spent years bouncing around between yoga studios and I never seemed to be able to commit to one until I found Pacifica Beach Yoga. From the first day I walked in everyone made me feel welcome and it didn't take long for me to feel like a part of this beautiful community. I have been coming regularly for about 5 months and feel amazing! Tommy always brings in great teachers that are very knowledgeable and truly passionate about the practice. The studio is kept super clean, there is tons of street parking, and there is always delicious fruit in the backyard! I can honestly say that I have found my home! read more

Just want to reiterate how great this studio is - every one of the instructors is great, the adjustments are always super-helpful and always completely appropriate, and Tommy the owner does a great job welcoming new and advanced students alike. This studio is my home away from home, and without my one hour moving meditation three or four times a week, I would lose my mind. Thanks to the hands-on adjustments to my poses, my practice has gotten deeper and more mindful every class. Keep up the great work and the fruit juices flowing in the lovely back garden! read more

Can't get enough of this hot yoga! Tommy, Jamie, Ryan and the entire staff are just lovely, welcoming people. The studio is clean and beautiful, from the comfy floor to the beautiful picturesque lights up above. After a perfectly intense bikram session, the studio welcomes you to juice and fresh fruit in their beautiful patio space, warmed by an outdoor firepit. A lovely place to practice and the ultimate setting to learn and feel inspired! read more

This yoga studio is a very warm, friendly, and peaceful place. The people who teach and run it are very attentive to a beginner's needs. The instruction in the classes is excellent and everyone involved feels great about it. The whole experience, from the detailed teaching, the friends, and even the fruit after class feels natural, like it is meant to be. read more

Great yoga spot. Very clean. Great helpful staff. Very nice owner Tommy. Calm outdoor seating. Very recommendable, even for beginners! They'd get 5 stars if they had more classes/more convenient hours. read more

I recently moved and had been looking for a bikram place close to the city. It was impossible to find a good bikram place in sf that didn't require lugging all my gym stuff on a muni or finding parking. Until I found this place! It's very authentic here, communal, unpretentious and comfortable. Not only is the space is fun to sweat and work out in. The interior is easy on the eyes and everything's convenient in sight. My favorite is the backyard and after a good work out, you walk into the mist outside, sit by the fireplace and eat some fruit. There's an ice chest with cold beverages and it's so beautifully covered with plants. What more could you ask for? read more

Excellent! I had pleasant experiences. Clean and friendly. Fruits on the patio are fresh and cold. read more

This place is one of my favorite studios for so many reasons. The teachers are superb and very personable. The space is simple, cozy and intimate, especially for the candlelight yoga! the playlists are always spot-on, and you can't beat 60 minute Bikram! I love Bikram yoga but hate the 90 minutes part of it. Ain't nobody got time for that! haha. Also, there's always parking, fresh fruit after class, and awesome deals through the year. read more

I can not even begin to explain how much I love Pacifica Beach yoga. I have been to other yoga places in the Bay Area before and none can compare to this place. Not only are the instructors kind and helpful but they always make people feel welcome. I mean where else can you go, where the yoga studio offers fresh, free fruit in a back patio, warmed by a fire pit with beautiful decor?! It really doesn't get better than this, guys. Take advantage of their groupon offers. And remember, the hardest part of yoga is just getting to your mat. You get better at it every time. Be amazed by what your body can accomplish in a short period of time! Namaste. read more

See all

I have been going to this yoga studio 3 times a week for the last month and a half. It only took one class and I was in love. This studio is the BEST! I've been to a couple other studios and this one is by far the most clean and it's design has the most relaxing feel. The teachers are great and I love that the studio has a schedule that can accommodate mine. The 8:15pm class is perfect for me because I can feed and put my little kids to bed and not feel guilty about taking off to do yoga. I can even show up last minute because there is plenty of room to park! Not something rare to Pacifica, but I used to practice in SF and I would search half an hour for parking and sometimes never even find any. Not fun. I feel more energized since I begun and look forward to class all week long. You should definitely check this place out. I don't know how a studio and yoga experience can get any better. read more

I have been going to this yoga studio for about 9 months!!! Due to my work schedule change and keep up with 2 jobs and have been missing yoga for about 3 months and just started back again!! It's really nice of the owner Mr Tommy that I went and talked to him about my situation and he right away understood what I was going through and I have asked him since I have missed for about 3 months can you please do something about it!! Mr Tommy right away said I totally understand everyone go through with something so I will extend 2 more months for you !! This is so nice of him and he really take care of his customers!! Once my membership is over I will extend it again because this studio is very nice clean and we need people like Mr Tommy !!!The best ever read more

I love this studio. I'm still relatively new, but it already feels like home away from home. Moved from SF to Pacifica and joined this studio on a whim, so glad I did. I love how physically challenging the classes are, but they are also spiritual. The teachers are casual, yet totally professional. They make you feel comfortable walking through the door, not intimidated. And they do know all the terms, but they make a choice to use English translations most often in class so that people, like myself, can actually understand. They are not afraid to crack a joke to lighten the mood or say "ass cheeks" in class. If that offends you go find some snooty yoga place. I also love the variety of people who attend the classes. All ages, skill sets, body types, men and women... It's a great workout, especially love Hot Vinyassa and Pilates and of course Bikrham. Can't wait to attend class today! read more

I can't thank my housemate enough for introducing me to this lil gem of a studio. I really enjoy the 60 minute Bikram classes and love, love, love the backyard, where Tommy graciously provides a wonderful community space to share stories, juice, fresh fruit and great company~! On day 4 and my skin is glowing~! Can't stop, won't stop!!! read more

Playing soccer all my life, I am forced to slow down due to bad knees and recent surgery on my knee. It's hard not to play but I am happy to say I found my peace with yoga. This place is amazing and I don't miss soccer as much!! I feel myself getting stronger and my rehab for my knee has dramatically improved with the core and strengthening yoga offers. Thank you to this amazing place. read more

I have been going to the candle-lit vinyasa class on tuesday evenings and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is relaxing and refreshing (only heated to "warm") yet challenging, and non-judgmental. No one is looking at you, and the lights are dimmed so you can truly focus on your body, mind, and thoughts. Thank you for offering this class! The fruit and firepit outside is a thoughtful and lovely touch! read more

At first, I was very skeptical when my long-time yoga studio re-opened with a new look and feel. I was thinking that everything that I had grown fond of and have thoroughly appreciated about it may have gone away. But to my surprise (and delight!) - things have absolutely gone SO MUCH BETTER! While in transition, I joined another studio close to my home, but nothing compares to the warmth (no pun intended) and the close-knit feel that greets you as you walk in through the doors. The staff is amazing and really listens to you. Have a suggestion? Just walk right up and they'll actually listen and more often than not, apply your ideas and incorporate them. I highly recommend Paciica Beach Yoga to anyone and everyone looking for a deep, relaxing, and amazing experience! read more

This studio continues to be a place where I stay healthy and relaxed. The owner Tommy runs a great studio. He keeps it in top notch shape and very clean. He continues to look for ways for all students to be comfortable and to excel at their practice. All of the teachers are wonderful, and the sense of community at the studio is amazing. People of different abilities, ages, etc. are treated equally and encouraged to gently excel in their practice. I attend the 6am classes and so appreciate a studio that has this early option. The class normally has 10 people in class, all practicing at their own levels. What a great way to start off the day! Recommend this to anyone whether you have practiced your whole life or not. read more

The studio is small but very clean. Parking nearby is easy. They offer variety of classes. It's perfect for me.

I'm new to yoga and discovered Pacifica Beach Yoga. Tommy is super friendly. The space is great, it feels very warm and inviting. I really enjoy the candle lit vinyasa class that Aeryn teaches. There is a cute back patio with a fire pit and they serve fruit and juice after classes. Everyone there is so sweet and the energy in the studio is amazing. read more

Wow. Just got out of a 60 min hot class and I can't say enough about how inviting and amazing the class was. It's nothing like my yoga classes before. I felt completely comfortable and was pushed just enough to see the benefits. Tommy is a amazing instructor he not only pushes you but makes you feel as comfortable as possible. Really nice personal guy that knows his stuff! I will be getting a big package and coming everyday! read more

This studio is definitely my favorite. It's clean, spacious, and has a good vibe. The instructors are really good with talking you through the postures and encouraging you to move forward in your practice without pushing you too far. They stress the importance of safety and make sure you are doing the postures correctly. Mikah, Deb, and Tommy are awesome instructors. Neil at the front desk is very friendly and helpful. Parking is good and they have a bunch of classes newly added to fit everyone's schedule. read more

This. Place. Is. Awesome. One room, great instructors, and a community vibe. Teachers say hello to students by name. Tommy (the owner and instructor for some of the Bikram classes) is friendly and welcoming. Jami and Kristin are awesome instructors and bring a wonderful energy into the practice - they are friendly, knowledgeable, supportive and down to earth. I've only been to three classes so far but I know I've found my spot. A few notes/caveats: I've only been to the heated vinyasa and Yin classes. (Not Bikram yet as I'm starting out by getting used to doing yoga in any kind of heat.) Parking can be a little tough if you're in a hurry. The room is great but can get crowded, so I recommend showing up earlier than 10 minutes prior to pick a spot and get settled. read more

Show up for yourself and visit PBY. This studio is clean and bright and has true character. It feels like a yoga retreat every time I practice here. I look forward all week to the 10am Vinyasa on Sunday with Jami. I am amazed in every class by the gentle way I am challenged to strengthen my body and open my heart. I leave with a deep feeling of gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. A lot of healing of every kind happens here. Come & enjoy the real-ness of this intimate studio. There is magic here... read more

I love this place! They have a nice variety of hot yoga classes and a friendly laid back attitude. The instructor yogis are friendly, encouraging and non-judgmental. I started there in August 2012, and at the end of the year, I bought an annual plan. That's how much I love it there. I go there from 3 to 6 times a week and they have a lot of class times to choose from. read more

I've been to so many yoga studios and I've never been happier with PBY. Like most yoga studios I've been to, people seem to know each other and it feels very clique-y at first. But trust me, you'll settle in and will keep coming because of the vibe. If you're new to power yoga, give it a try, it's not that intimidating! read more

Found this studio through Class Pass. I had never taken a Bikram class before, and this place got me hooked. I went to several other studios in San Francisco and the Peninsula after trying it here, and decided Pacifica Beach Yoga was the place for me. Small studio that is very clean and welcoming. There's no weird odors and the floor isn't carpeted. The patio in the back with the fresh fruit and drinks is a total plus. I've never felt judged at this studio. The instructors often repeat that it's a practice and that every day may be different. It sounds so simple, but it's important to hear on some days. Jaime Man is one of the reasons I made the decision to buy a package. His vibe set the tone for the class. Always amazing energy. I'm sad that he no longer teaches the 6 am class...may need to adjust my schedule once in awhile to catch his class. Not that the other instructors aren't great, Jaime just has such a good attitude ALL the time- not easy for most of us at 6 am! read more

Love Pacifica Beach Yoga! So happy we found this gem so close by. My husband and I have been enjoying the classes here since January. I've taken many, many different classes here - by Lisa, Jamie and Jen - and I always feel amazing afterwards. The instructors are skilled, personable and helpful and the other students are friendly as well. It feels like a community which I love. I don't feel any of the pressure or snootiness I've sometimes experienced at other studios. And fresh watermelon after a hot yoga class is simply wonderful. read more

The room is very peaceful with its cedar-wrapped walls & the yoga is challenging. Deb's dulcet voice moves you through the poses. The front desk guy, Neil, is hospitable welcoming my first visit. The fellow Pacifica yogis are a friendly crew adding to the overall experience. I've been doing yoga for many years and am excited to add a tasteful, zen space to my entourage of play options. read more

I love this place! The classes are affordable, the staff is friendly, the vibe is so positive and they offer fresh fruit and juice after class in the back patio. I really enjoy their Tuesday night candle light yoga class...wish they offered it more often then once a week! But would highly recommend this studio for all levels! :) read more

This place is fantastic! I started going twice a week in October, and after each class I always feel calm and refreshed. I've had four different teachers so far: Maike, Deb, Tommy, and Lisa, and all of them clearly have an excellent understanding of how to challenge oneself without risking injury. And the studio has a nice, personal feel to it. Recently I tried a slightly misguided 3-day fast/cleanse, and Neil (another staff member) actually brought me a glass of freshly squeezed "green juice" after class. Bottom line: hot yoga in general has enriched my life, but Pacifica Beach Yoga and its amazing staff welcomed me to the practice, and its friendly, healthy, soothing air is what keeps me coming back. read more

PBY is a super clean studio with awesome instructors! I Took hot Pilates with instructor Lisa and she was awesome, funny and just good vibes. Perfect way to start your morning and with a killer workout! read more

I have done yoga before but this is the first studio I have been to doing hot yoga and i fell in love! The schedule is reasonable and although all the teachers are GREAT, Josie is my favorite; simply because she places you in proper positions so that you are doing the pose properly, she always asks what we want to do at the start of every class, and she does something different every class. The new owner is very friendly and personable, he introduced himself and laid out the new changes and future growth possibilities. I have greatly enjoyed my experience here and I am sad it's going to end. I wish I could make this my home but it's a luxury I cannot afford. Hope to be back in the near future. read more
