beautiful space, all the props needed, wonderful teachers
November 2019
I stated at the yoga room in 1983 or so... and I'm still going! I took a break of a few years when I had kids and wish I hadn't. Teachers at the yoga room are exceptional, they have so much training and experience and ability to cater to each student's needs and limitations. I go to class confident that I won't get injured because of the extensive warmup period, and I leave every class feeling centered, relaxed and energized (yes, all at the same time).

Excellent teaching and facilities. The only yoga studio in the area that I know of that has a ropes wall -- for those who know, this is important. More generally, The Yoga Room had been in Berkeley for decades -- used to be on College. Many of the yoga teachers in the area and elsewhere trained here. They are seriously expert. But open to and caring of students at all levels. It's actually more important to have an expert teacher when you're a beginner, because yoga is not just a matter of copying poses. A good teacher can explain which muscles you use and how. Beginners need more instruction than experienced students. Highly recommended.
