Felt like a Monday yoga class was way too crowded. I barely had 3-6 inches between my yoga mat and the people next to me or behind me. The instructor was friendly but she wasn't very visible to follow along the flow. She mostly stayed at the front of the room so being in the middle back was challenging. It did seem there were many regulars distributed in the crowd so I could observe them. A cozy and clean studio but watch out about these class sizes. read more

The best yoga studio in SF, calming, welcoming and easy going. 10/10 would recommend!

I was in SF visiting our kids and randomly found this Baptiste-affiliated studio because it was convenient. Took a great class there--very welcoming, and the yogis represented diverse ages and abilities. I'll be back! read more

OK, I've only been to one class--and let's see how she goes come a few months past--but this cute little space was great. I could easily sign up on the train online, booked my first class ($10 for class 1), and went along that same evening. The classes are small and personal. I think there were only about 20 of us at most, which was about perfect for the space. It's a hot space as well, so it was fully toasty--exactly what I needed in this endless winter. The instructor was really fantastic (I am awful with names, sorry!) as she came and introduced herself to everyone new and let them know her style. She offered adjustments to everyone during the class, which I really appreciate. The vinyasa session was intense, in the good way. Even though I'm a serious amateur, poses I'd never tried felt easy to pick up. The pace was not so easy! But that was perfect. It was like yoga-aerobics or something. Towards the end we had a chance to try some more advanced yoga poses--headstands and such. And at the very end we had a small meditation session. This was almost perfect, except two class members left early and were kinda stomping around, so it spoiled it a tiny bit for me. But, that's not on yogabeach! All in all, I'm really pleased to have found a great space like this. They do $10 classes on Mondays (and two other days that I forget) as well, so it's nice that there's an affordable option for folks that need. Highly recommend! read more

This is a great yoga studio with a lot of terrific teachers who all have their own style. The vinyasa classes are super enjoyable usually with a core/ pilates component. The studio is extremely small and evening classes are always completely full or even overflowing. About six inches or less between mats. For this reason (I assume), we don't really explore inversions or many balancing poses, which is a bit of a bummer. About 40% of the space is taken up by the "lounge" area, which I think is a missed opportunity. A remodel could expand the yoga area and allow at least 6 more yogis to comfortably practice here (although inversions would still be pretty risky). Despite being tiny I really like coming here and I'm very grateful to have this quality yoga spot in the neighborhood. read more

EDITED REVIEW: Thank you Emerald for the clarification on my refund and free class credit. The yoga at this studio is amazing. I can name 3 teachers that are my favorite. I've been a member for 3 years straight. I only want for the operations side of this studio to improve: it takes days, sometimes a whole week to get a response from their team. 30 day policy to cancel a membership, it's use it or lose it- there's no flexibility (wish there was because life happens and I don't want to lose a great class!). read more

Yogabeach is my favorite neighborhood yoga studio! I was a lucky recipient of a gift of a 10 class package a few months ago. I loved that they have a variety of yoga, pilates and flow fit classes. I took vinyasa classes from Martina, Tierra, Jeff and Liz. Each instructor had their own styles of teaching, so it's nice to have a variety offered at the studio. They all encourage an encouraging and nonjudgmental environment for yogis or all levels. My favorites are Martina's and Tierra's because I found their classes the most challenging and varied in routine. I also tried flow fit class with Derek and it sure kicked my butt! I wasn't sure what I expected, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't get a chance to try the pilates class, but hope to soon. I only wish that they offered more classes on Wed-Thurs. The studio is small and cozy. I recommend signing up online in advance to secure your spot. There were times when there were 18 people in the class (super full) and other times where there were 3 yogis. Parking can be tough in the area, especially on sunny weekends when people flock to the beach. Weekday parking is hit or miss, but be aware of the street cleaning days/times. Overall, great studio and wonderful instructors! read more

yogabeach - Yoga Near Me - San Francisco, California

The class I took was a few months back. I enjoyed the Saturday morning introductory session. The young lady that led the class was good, seemed new to teaching, but attentive to students needs in a comforting way. It seemed like a great place to meet others in the Sunset that are into yoga, healing, holistic medicine, etc. The HUUUUUUUUGE drawback was after the class. The man, from what I gathered the owner/proprietor of this yoga studio was engaged in some very unprofessional conversation about what sounded from my eavesdropping like other clients to this yoga studio/people in the neighborhood. WOW! I couldn't believe it. So unprofessional that even using the word unprofessional gives the incident more credit than it's due! I contemplated even writing this review, but alas a friend convinced me to do so. Please note that this is the review of the business as a whole and not a reflection of the teacher(dark brown/black curly hair). She did a good job. read more

This place is a one of a kind gem in San Francisco! The studio is beautiful, cozy, and has a friendly neighborhood vibe. It's slightly heated - a perfect refuge for a foggy SF day. All the teachers are top notch - and I love that each one has a unique style which allows me to widen my practice and try new things. Love it here! read more

Cozy but breezy beachy one room studio. They have cubbies for your shoes and tea. More hippie than luxe vibe. No showers and changing area consists of a curtain. Mostly young people. Took a Sunday morning vinyasa class and it was pretty good. Good flow with emphasis on heart opening the day I went. A few challenging sequences but no arm balances. Was a little crowded and the feet of the guy in front of me were in my face a lot but at least he was not smelly. They provided me a mat for free and were very friendly. Will probably be back. read more

Great variety of classes and space! I no longer am into overcrowded sweaty yoga studios and having to drive and stress over parking, my car getting towed, and parking meter expiring. I enjoy practicing there for numerous reasons - 1) I live 3 1/2 blocks away and can walk to the studio 2) Space is tranquil and clean 3) Great variety of classes and teachers Side note - always wanted to try a fit class so I took Dereck's. My brain said yes but my body said no. My feet hurt for several months. The feet takes a lot of pounding and the yoga mat on hardwood floor provides little support. I have bad feet and need special insoles in my shoes for support. I should have realized that and knew I was going to be in trouble once class got started. So if you have bad feet like I do be aware running on yoga mat/hardwood floor will not be good. Otherwise, I am glad I tried it! read more

Bright, sunny, beautiful space in Outer Sunset. I love the layout of the studio; the lovely reception area is separated from the studio by a thick curtain, and the whole place has a bright, airy feel to it. I took their 75-minute vinyasa flow class on Sunday morning and found the experience to be calming. I prefer shorter classes usually, but I appreciated the longer warm-up and cool-down period. The instructor had really great energy and moved through the poses slowly enough that you can really pay attention to your poses. If you're looking for a yoga studio with smaller class sizes and slower vinyasa flow, I would definitely recommend Yoga Beach. You can also rent mats for $3! read more

This is such a wonderful place to practice yoga and get your @$$ kicked during Flow Fit classes. This is my go to place for exercise since I hate the gym and hate running and just don't like the class pass wants to raise my rates 30% but not pay fair prices to the studios I love to go to. I've taken yoga with most of the teachers and they're awesome. I actually followed Martina here since she use to teach at another studio. Emerald who takes care a lot of the membership/class/back office things (which is probably no fun) is sweet, prompt, and encouraging. Derek is a great instructor for Flow Fit. He makes sure it's hard, hard for you, that you don't wimp out with light weights, and that there's funny commentary during the whole hour. What else can you ask for? Parking can be difficult only if you want princess parking. There's usually ample parking a block away on Lincoln Ave. They have tea bags available for after practice nourishment. read more

I love this cute and cozy studio. I found yogabeach on ClassPass and I've only been here a few times, but it's already one of my favorites in the city. Lindsey Kraten is great and I also loved Jenny Clise's class. It's conveniently located close to Muni and some restaurants. Just get here early if you need a parking spot because it's a popular area. read more

This is my favorite yoga studio of all time. I'm definitely not what you'd call a yoga super fan. I really like how I feel afterward, but honestly most of the time, heading to yoga just feels like a chore. This is not the case at YogaBeach. For once in my life I actually look forward to class. All of the teachers I've had are great, but I usually attend Nick and Martina's classes. They are wonderfully talented, fun teachers who provide a great environment for beginning and intermediate yogis. Jenny's Friday morning class is insanely awesome -- I wish she taught weekends or evenings. If you can get there at 8:30am on Fridays, it's so worth it! I've yet to try the core strength conditioning classes, (hiit circuit) but I've got a few scheduled so we'll see how it goes. Your first class is $10, drop ins after that are $18 and unlimited is $100 / mo which is well worth it! read more

Yoga Beach is such a welcome addition to the Outer Sunset neighborhood! I've done my fair share of yoga classes and always left feeling like I still had not grasped the concept of yoga. Other people seem to be having a more spiritual experience or getting more out of it. Not here! I leave every class knowing that I pushed myself. The teachers are laid-back, welcoming and don't take it too seriously, which creates such a great dynamic in the studio. The location is beautiful and well-maintained and great for all levels of student. Check it out! You won't be disappointed. read more

The best yoga studio in the area. I came here because of my hip pain and low back issues. It was quite literally the most healing 1st session I've ever experienced in my life. The next five days, it felt like I was walking on clouds - hip and low back pain vanished. Derek, my teacher/mentor, is basically a magician. He's like the David Copperfield of yoga and human physiology and just making people feel GOOD! Hope everyone who reads this goes and checks it out. read more

Pluses: Close by and in the neighborhood. Instructors are excellent and the place is super clean. The huge minus: they jam way to many people in that small studio to really feel like you can actually do all the positions the way they were intended. Modifications are more often than not due to lack of space and the fear of hitting the person next to you or part of the wall if you are close to the side or in the front. And please if you have long hair please put it in a ponytail or up as no one likes to get hit in the face with someone else hair read more

Everyone is so nice and friendly. Kick butt classes. Very inviting. Very good prices.

I like this studio, it's clean and always has good vibes. Everything is great, my only criticism is that the classes are often overbooked/crowded and the packages expire. I will definitely still go to this studio when I'm in the area, but will always make sure to sign up online to get a spot/get there early and beware of the packages expiring. It's a really great place overall. read more

Every time it's cold and windy outside I look forward to getting nice and warm in this cozy yoga studio. All of the instructors are wonderful and a big shout out to Caleb I especially enjoy his approach for how we practice. Every time I leave a yoga class I feel super chill, relaxed and also prepared to handle the rest of my stressful day with a little bit of namaste. read more

This is a really lovely little studio in the Outer Sunset. The space itself is beautiful, with hardwood flooring, big windows, and cushy floor poufs in the waiting area. The most crowded class I've been to was around 10 people, while the smallest was just me and 1 other yogi. Small class size = lots of personal attention from instructors, all of whom are a real asset to this place. Every time I come I get a workout that's a challenge, but I'm encouraged to listen to my body and do what feels best. There is no trace of ego here, only positive vibes all around! Such a sweet little gem of a place. Thanks Yoga Beach! read more

Nice, small studio near the beach. So far I've taken a couple of classes with both Shree, and Julia. I've been really happy with the classes, and the community feels very inviting and encouraging. Parking can be hard during weekday evenings, though. read more

I love that there is a new yoga studio within walking distance to my house and that they are on classpass! The studio is very clean and bright and peaceful. Everyone is very friendly. There are some cubbys to place your things and an area to change. It is a gently heated studio. read more

What a lovely yoga studio! I just attended my first class here and I was pleasantly surprised by the environment. The studio is so airy and beachy, the people working there were very nice, and the instructor was great, offering good instructions and correcting us as we went. I also enjoyed that the class was small - only 8 people, I believe. As others have mentioned, it's a bit slower of a flow and the studio is slightly heated - it feels great. read more

I love this place. I'm here 5X week minimum, and I can't say enough about the instructors, the classes, the space and the awesome community this studio has brought together. I've been a regular since Day 1 and tell everyone I know to check it out. read more

Super fun Flowfit class tonight with Derek. I am excited this studio is so close to my house! I will definitely be back for some sweatin'

I absolutely love this place. Went here for several months before moving. Dana was my favorite, she was awesome. Plus the owners are super sweet, funny people. read more

Yoga Beach is bitchin! Love the welcoming atmosphere and challenging FlowFit class. Plus it's located in one of the last best neighborhoods in the city. I am happy to have found them and look forward to coming back. read more

Great yoga studio with great people from the yogis to the yoga practitioners!

Great studio! Love it! Nice community, great space, reasonably priced.

This little yoga studio in the outer sunset a few blocks away from Ocean Beach an oasis! Discovered this studio during my run. The classes are small and the instructors are personable. Instructors are encouraging and works towards different levels. First class is free. read more

I am always searching for a work out that challenges my system. One that is different from the traditional gym workouts and CrossFit culty nature. FlowFit provides that. You do not compromise mobility for strength or strength for cardio- you work on all of it and you do it under a watchful eye with an energized community. The yoga classes are the same way. The personalized attention and knowledge of the instructors shine as classes are challenging and beneficial. I find I take home something new after every class where the major yoga studios I felt like I had a good stretch and sweat. This truly is a place focused on balance-mind, body and soul. read more

Heard great things about this place from my friend! Unfortunately they guy at the front desk turned me away for being a couple minutes late for my first class. Seems like your typical SF "better than thou" entitled attitude. I'll stick with YogaFlow on ocean. They're so nice and welcoming! read more

Yoga Beach is a great addition to the Outer Sunset. The studio is a lovely, welcoming and fresh space. The owners and teachers are really friendly and aim to meet the needs of all of the students. The best part is the wonderful healthy feeling that makes me look forward to my next class! read more
