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.

As an instructor, Rebecca is inspiring (just watch her fly and you'll want to do the same) and gives you plenty of tips and techniques for helping you advance your practice. That said, she never pushes you to go farther than you should. She's come and taught at our office, too, and enjoyed our giggly, goofy approach to mid-afternoon yoga. She seemed to appreciate our energy and worked with the room and our mood. Thanks to her, I finally nailed a few arm balances that had me stumped, including side crow and eka pada bakasana.

Erica has really created a special environment - without pretense and attitude - that is warm, inclusive and relaxing. After probably 100 classes here, I learn something new every time I go and there is a class and instructor for every mood.

Of course Erica herself is great and very thoughtful about how she curates each class. Truly a gem of a studio - perfectly located so you can swing by Good Earth after and do some amazing Marin County people watching!

Dina is the founder of InnerYoga which is an all encompassing modality that's deeply healing and grounding. It focuses on breath, awareness, kindness and ease and layers on other modalities like Yin Yoga, Jin Shin Jyutsu and psychology, neuroscience and Buddhist. Over the years, Dina's teachings have helped me get in touch with my true essence which was deeply buried for a long time. Classes with Dina are like little mini-therapy sessions where I get to explore my inner landscape: I get acquainted with the workings of mind and how I react to pleasant and unpleasant. This type of insight has immeasurable benefit on how I live my life. Thank you Dina!!

After years of active yoga (Bikram, vinyasa, power yoga, and the like) it was a huge switch to try a passive approach.

It leaves me feeling relaxed, and fully enjoying my life. Which is why I'm signing up for a 6-month immersion with her :)
