The Castro Room

Ashley and Natalia led a beautiful winter solstice ceremony. It was my first time to the space and absolutely loved it. The high ceilings, vibe, energy, organization, flow, pricing, and soundscape were all on point. Ashley has a gift for sure and the solstice ceremony was purifying to say the least. Highly recommended.

A legend is reborn! 😍This was the iconic Yoga Tree Castro, a cornerstone of the SF yoga world for decades - and it’s back! Same incredible space (bright, vaulted ceilings and massive space with amazing vibes that feels so magical and held, perfect temperature that’s warm so you sweat but not roast, but with brand new floors and surround sound!), and a renowned lineup of rockstar teachers who could or already do offer their own teacher trainings! 🥳 This schedule is unbelievable!! And, there’s actually parking. Thank you so much for bringing back this celebrated sacred space and community, such a gift!! ✨🙏🏼✨

I was visiting from Seattle and SO excited to practice again with my favorite teacher, JL, who moved to SF years ago. The Castro Room is beautiful, bright, and full of good energy. JL’s classes are the perfect mix of challenging and grounding, with her signature wisdom & warmth that make everyone feel at home. I left classes feeling strong, open, and so glad I came. If you’re in the Bay, don’t miss JL here!

Jason’s class is hands down the best yoga class I’ve ever taken. His verbal cues are exceptional—clear, effective, and even thought-provoking. The practice is strong, classic, and meditative—it truly feels like a workout and a moving meditation in one. It’s challenging in the best way: I feel pushed to grow and improve, but it never feels out of reach. The studio space is stunning, with high ceilings, bright natural light, and an open, airy feel. The room is warm enough to work up a solid sweat, but never uncomfortably hot—just the right balance. The staff is kind and helpful, and everything is always impeccably clean. 10/10 across the board.

Best yoga studio in San Francisco. It used to be Yoga Tree. I recommend Jason Bowman (exquisite, meditative, challenging, & detailed), Rebecca Rogers (extraordinarily astute as a teacher & with a beautiful singing voice), Nikita Mehta (incredible), Mike Richardson (experimental & therapeutic) Janet Stone (queen of yoga teachers.) The Castro Room offers free classes, community classes, and their memberships are very reasonable. They are cultivating new, young teachers. And they have a work trade program, too. What that means is they are building an inclusive, diverse community. This studio is owned by yoga teachers, not a corporation. It took them 3 years to get this wonderful yoga space back, as during the Pandemic Yoga Tree was bought by Yoga Works and they abandoned it and 6 other studios when their profits were threatened. Come and practice with us! Save the planet by saving your mind & body & spirit.
