Random stuido I decided to try out while i was visiting town. Great space! Great stuido Love the pre lock lockers, and showers. Clean! Teacher made the class approachable for all levels, new or advance. It was “heated “but very mild in my opinion and would have enjoyed it hotter. Regardless I would definitely come back

Love this studio, it’s got great teachers, great temperatures, and vibes are good. They’re not into the frills but you get a great experience for a yoga class and that’s honestly what matters to me most. Staff is friendly and kind too

I attended Lovestory for 2 weeks during a yoga teacher training with Jason Crandell and I really love the area as well as the owner Laurel who takes great care of the place. The regular classes have good mix of challenging power Vinyasa and more gentle flowing Bhakti styles and the teachers are renowned for being the best in SF. Would definitely recommend 🙏

Definitely cultish. Stephanie has a following of minion-instructors who feel superior to the rest of her students. When a teacher preaches you and then the next thing you see is her dripping in top brands like Golden Goose, Hermes watch, etc.. and meanwhile, they were telling you to “be of service” there’s something wrong. Did my yoga certification and never went back. At the end of the day it’s a business.
