Armando Luna Yoga

Feb 2024

I've been practicing yoga with Armando for 5+ years at this point. I love his vinyasa flow yoga -- it's meant for all levels, so there's lots of helpful prompts and hands-on adjustments (if you're comfortable with that), but he also gives options for extra challenges (if that's your speed). It's not "hot yoga", but he has heaters that keep the classes at a nice toasty warm temperature. Recently I've been going to the yoga wall classes. This is a unique experience. I love the feeling of inversions, and this provides a good outlet for that. Yoga poses are done against the wall, against gravity. I think I'm decent at yoga, but the classes kick my butt. It's challenging completely different muscle groups and requires a different type of strength. The classes are very diverse and inclusive. Forget any stereotypes of the typical waifish woman. In class, there's all ages, genders, body types. Particularly for the yoga wall class, I've been impressed by how there is an older/senior demographic, but I realize that everybody gets something different out of the the yoga wall classes. While I'm looking for a core-strengthening challenge, others are looking for a yoga class that takes pressure off their spines, relieve back pain, etc. On nice days, he may occasionally have his vinyasa flow class outside. (He will have updates on his Instagram/Facebook if that is the case.) My favorite routine is to go to his class on Saturday morning, and then get a bite to eat afterwards at Cafe Alma a block away. I can't say enough good things about this studio!

I've been practicing yoga in SF for a long time and I am so happy to have Armando's new studio a few blocks from my house! He's an experienced teacher who teaches all levels and works with all of the diverse demographics here in the Bayview, and yes, that includes even advanced yogis. I truly appreciate his mission of making yoga accessible to everyone and every body. I've only taken the vinyasa classes, which are challenging and taught with music but no heat. Classes are fairly small so the student/teacher ratio is nice, it allows for adjustments and corrections to be given which has already helped me strengthen my practice. There is also ample parking around the studio and a great coffee shop next door to grab coffee after your Sat morning class if that's your thing I'm glad to see a yoga studio with roots in the community as one of the first businesses in this location as the area continues to grow.

Armando is the most wonderful yoga teacher! He makes yoga accessible to everyone. He teaches with kindness and gentle humor. Armando gives everyone in his classes specific attention and encourages his students to achieve more than one they ever thought they could. Armando's yoga has helped me gain strength and stamina. His new studio is a lovely haven. Most of all Armando's yoga is so fun! I am looking forward to more and more yoga with Armando!
