I found this place through Yelp reviews. It's only right to reciprocate but I have been "selfish"…read morenot wanting people to know about this hidden gem right in the middle of North Berkeley. I have had many yoga classes either offered by the gym (general membership) or private studio lessons (back in Boston) in the past 10+ years and I can say none compared to Barbara's class. Her class size is small (from 3 to 10 max) - which I like. I once signed up for some group class with the yoga teacher because I couldn't afford her private lesson and found that it was packed from wall to wall. It's tough not having "personal space" when one is trying to stretch and relax. Barbara is a wonderful teacher. She is gentle, understanding and her voice is very soothing. The music she plays sometime, is calming rather than distracting (like some other classes I attended). She is very good at varying different routines and poses. She makes sure everyone gets the pose before we move on. She is very patient and attentive to her students. I was struggling through a few poses and she came right next to me to show me how it's done. I am learning quite a bit in her class. I emailed her to inquire about her classes before I went the first time, she emailed me back right away wanting to know if I have any special conditions she needed to consider. Her classes are 1.5 hour long, which I find it's perfect. The classmates are very nice and supportive. It's a very nurturing environment. I am very glad I found Barbara's yoga studio and look forward to study yoga with her for as long as we are in Berkeley.

I am a long time client of Shannon's and there aren't enough words share the impact her work has…read morehad on me, my body and my life. Over the years she has taught me body awareness that I have taken with me into my daily life. She has helped me build strength that translates not just to my muscles but also my body frame and frame of mind. I've leaned an incredible amount about all of the systems of my body and how to care and nurture my health. Her work has helped me to connect with myself, learn about myself and pushed me to be the best version of myself. I have mild scoliosis and some neck injuries, her method of Pilates and Yoga has transformed my quality of life and my body patterns. She always meets me where I am, offering me the most appropriate work, structure and focus I might need on a particular day. She also works to push me out of my comfort zone to maximize the work we do, never pushing me farther than I need. She is a blessing, especially during covid when so much of life was unmanageable. She is always there to support me and my body work needs. This work has been the single most impactful investment I have made and I highly recommend Shannon, who brings decades of continuing education and passion for recovery to her practice.

She's a thoughtful listener who creates space to share openly, and her support helped shift my mindset during moments of mental blocks, doubt, and overwhelm. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I now manage my time with greater clarity and confidence.

I've been practicing yoga with Rosy Moon pretty regularly over the past year. Prior to that I…read morespent 13 years exploring different teachers and styles. Living in The Bay Area and at a yoga retreat center in Hawaii has exposed me to a wide range of celebrated instructors. But studying with Rosy has been one of the pivotal experiences in my life. When I joined an intensive series in which she teaches Primal Core yoga, I was healing from a major back injury and surgery. It was almost like starting yoga from scratch to practice post surgery. Rosy always approached me with care and helped modify poses to make them appropriate for me. I was inspired to explore the boundaries of my body within the safe container of her class. After a couple months I found myself able to get into a full wheel pose! A full back bend was impossible at the beginning of the series. Rosy's compassionate but firm teaching style is a wonderful way to challenge yourself from a place of love in order to find your true strength. Approaching the body as Rosy instructs facilitated major healing in my body, my heart and my mind. Warning! Beware of the Transformational Power Breath if you want to stay in the same ruts you have been in. If you are ready to bring about positive changes in your life, come take class with Rosy. You will sweat, breath deeply, stretch, strengthen, laugh, meditate, release and maybe even shed a tear.

Because I am pretty picky, I wasn't sure I'd be into it, but 6 years of knee pain made me willing to try. Rosy taught me some ways to work with the alignment of my feet, knees and hips that I'd never seen before, even after working with 3 different physical therapists in the past. At one point, my knee started hurting, and she was able to simply and quickly move my leg around and get my joints back in sync. Rosy's style is so warm, compassionate and accepting, I felt really good in her presence and inspired to get stronger. Now I am back on track with exercise and credit this change in large part to Rosy. If only I could get myself to wake up early, I would try her boot camp for sure!

I have some old injuries she help me with to lessen pain and increase strength/mobility. At nearly 50 I am far stronger than I ever could have imagined I'd be! (Thanks Joss!) Not only is Joss a fantastic instructor, she is such a lovely person! Funny, kind, super smart and her knowledge of anatomy is impressive. I'm a huge fan!
