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.

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.

NOW Power Yoga is a heated yoga studio with great energy!…read more As I am getting older, I realize I do need to focus on rehabilitating and making sure my body has the tools to maintain strength. Yoga always felt a little too slow for me without being challenging. That is definitely not the case with classes at NOW Power Yoga! The studio itself is a pretty big room that get heated for each class. I especially enjoy that each class is often powered by modern music with a heavy beat. The instructors are super positive and help set the mood. Depending on the class, there are some that will focus on weights versus holding moves. While I highly recommend, I would say for beginners to yoga who are not too familar with the moves may have a hard time following along. Recommend bringing a yoga mat, towel, and water bottle to class because you are guaranteed to sweat! You can also bring a refillable bottle as well since they have water stations. I also appreciate that they have a shower. Because it shares a parking lot with other businesses, I would caution that depending on the time of day parking can get difficult so may want to come early at peak times to ensure you get a spot in time. The same for the class itself! NOW Power Yoga is a worthy visit especially if you are looking for a heated yoga class!

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.

Her knowledge base is very broad and comprehensive. Yet for yoga class, all you need to do is listen carefully when she directs your body. I started a few years ago and I wasn't seeing results for over a year. The pandemic got in the way until we used Zoom. Julia gives us links to her classes. I made a point f taking her yoga class from a linked class and started a new yoga schedule, taking it at least 3's a week. My body transformed. I was so amazed that I developed "yoga butt." I am now stronger than ever. Julia has the amazing ability to combine her deep knowledge of a few schools of yoga, her deep understanding of kinesthetics, anatomy, physiology, and yoga poses that she brilliantly even sometimes invents. I have been in dance class since I was four. I have taken a ton of yoga classes all over the bay area and online. I will not take a class if it is not taught by Julia. One must attend class on a regular basis and once in class, just listen quietly and Julia will take you on the most exquisite yoga journey that will transform your body in an hour and a half. It is with the greatest pleasure that I urge you to participate in the best yoga workout you have ever experienced as you grow to understand your own body's strengths and limitations that will only expand if you remain rigorous with your practice. Please come and join us. Everyone welcomes you, especially Julia. Thank you, Melanie Hahn
