I'll do yoga anywhere with her. I brought my husband and he really enjoyed it. The space is so small I have no idea what it's like for a regular class. This location is not near where I live so probably wouldn't become my regular studio. Before entry, there's a bench where everyone leaves their shoes outside and then after you enter, there's someone with a screen to check you in and then there's plenty of gear: blocks, cushions, blankets for the massive amount of people we were that night which was pretty impressive. There is a bathroom And the space was clean and cozy. Very sweet. Super efficient space. I could see this being somebody's go to if this is in your neighborhood. I do recommend it, lots of charm in this little corner that has really become a somewhere now there's a there, there.

Bridget welcomed them, too. Happy you're here. Glad you made it. Better with you here. Immediately, I liked that. Come as you are. All of us. ~ The Guide: Bridget Lavin * Love Flows Vinyasa If she led us somewhere that didn't feel good, Bridget said, listen to ourselves. Our breath. Our practice. Time for us. Seated cross-legged, we swept our arms overhead and back down. Snow angels. Without the snow. Then standing. Hands at heart. Sankalpa. What did we need? For me, Be here. Right now. Nothing new. Still needed. We moved. Made shapes. Breathed into them. Fluttered our lips in Downward Dog. Then Lion's Breath. Bridget kept bringing us back to what is. The "isness" of right now. After Sun B, Child's Pose. Through the window, a little boy called out: "Close your eyes and count to ten!" I smiled. And played along. Standing balances. Deep stretches. Before Savasana, Bridget thanked the teachers who passed this practice along, helping us move through the world with more ease. "What a gift." Truly. ~ The Story Behind the Guide: After class, I thanked Bridget for such a connecting, self-loving practice. She found yoga at thirteen, practicing with her mother. Her parents encouraged her to follow what she loved. So she did. Years later, the rest of us got to practice inside that decision. ~ The Space & Place: Upstairs, above a courtyard of shops. Ganesha welcomes you in. Wood floors. Bright reception. A little seating. A little retail. "dear Yoga" invites love letters. A spacious yoga room. White walls. Exposed beams. Open windows. ~ The Field Note: "What is" can teach us, if we leave a window open. ~ The Sum-Up: Bridget invited us to welcome the sounds around us. Then thanked the teachers who passed the practice along. That evening, my teacher was outside the window playing hide-and-seek.

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.

Here's the thing -- yoga used to be a competitive athletic pursuit for me. Losing that version of…read moremyself has been one of the harder, quieter griefs of pregnancy, something I didn't expect to carry. The owner understood that immediately. She didn't just encourage me to keep showing up -- she met me exactly where I was, without making me feel like I needed to be okay with where I was. That's a rare gift. What sets this class apart is how genuinely individualized the instruction is. Every woman in that room had her own set of challenges, and every single one of us was seen and addressed specifically -- given real feedback, targeted exercises, actual solutions. Not generic modifications. Not a one-size-fits-all approach. Real care. The community is something special too. Being surrounded by other pregnant women who get it -- some who've been through it before, who related to my birth story, who showed up week after week -- that sense of being held in a room full of people who understand is worth more than I can put into words. This is 100% worth every penny. If you're pregnant and wondering whether to go -- go. Your body and your heart will thank you. I almost talked myself out of joining -- I already have a big gym membership and honestly wondered how much I could realistically do right now. I'm 6 months pregnant with a 10-month-old at home, and my body has been a whole situation: vein/nerve pain in my knee, hip pain, rib pain, shoulder and deltoid tension from breastfeeding. I was exhausted before I walked in the door. But Ashley's prenatal yoga class changed something for me, and I feel so much better!!!! I an learning a LOT. They have 4 locations and tons of workshops too. I took a class the other day where we literally just laid there and meditated and relaxed with our legs up and I had no idea how much I needed that.

She was truly a guiding light throughout my pregnancy, and I always looked forward to Wednesday nights. Her class gave me so much knowledge, confidence, and reassurance as I prepared to give birth. Elizabeth's evening Gentle Yoga class was also a regular part of my pregnancy and something I thoroughly enjoyed each week. I didn't make it to the daytime classes quite as often, but Ashley was also wonderful whenever I was able to attend. We feel so incredibly blessed to have Metta Mama in our community. It was such a special part of my pregnancy journey, and I'm so grateful for the community, support, and wonderful teachers. I'm looking forward to taking the postpartum classes and continuing to be part of the Metta community as I navigate this next chapter!

At Bear Flag Fitness, the instructors are continually helping with form to maximize your results and keep you safe. They also keep the energy up with their encouragement, and they know the name of every single student. It's definitely more of a "community" here. I have tried a lot of different workouts over the past few decades...and this is the only one I've been able to stick to for over 3 years--partly because of the community, and partly because of the undeniable results!

I'm certain I'll be sore tomorrow but my joints, which I've mistreated for years, won't hate me. What more could you ask for!? I'm super excited to try more classes; this is going to be a great, ass-kicking, toning workout to fold into my swimming and Peloton routine, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to do a decent push-up set again sometime soon!

Since it was my inaugural visit, they supplied me with a hand towel and a large one. I wasn't sure why I needed that as I brought my yoga mat and water. I didn't realize the studio was heated. Duh!!! bikram hot yoga was just ending. The space was pretty big and dimly lit, creating quite an intimate atmosphere. The season featured Groovalicious music, putting all in a relaxed mood. Not to mention the candles the instructor lite ahead of starting the season. I didn't know what the heck I was doing but the poses were easy enough to pick up using blocks and supplied strap. Very similar to Kaiut yoga which is exactly what I was hoping for. More restorative, with most poses held longer allowing the focus on breathing and posture. I also understand why thy supplied a towel to cover your mat. While not stifling hot, it was very easy to work up a sweat. It was obvious after the session my body missed yoga practice in a studio with expert instruction. So of course I signed up to continue visiting at least 2 times a week.
