We absolutely love this place, my whole family goes to the Yoga Shala! The instructors are great and there is a real sense of community among those who attend. Each class is different and as intense as you want it to be. The instructors really work with everyone on an individual level. I feel like I learn or try something new every time I go. Highly, highly recommend!

So happy there’s a new Shala in town! Brittany (the owner) has brought the magic of the Sunset location across the park and I’m so excited to practice at this studio. There are a variety of yoga classes and all fitness and ability levels are welcome. I love how welcoming and community oriented the yogis at TYS classes are. 💛 The heaters are great (especially during this cold winter) and the Balboa classes aren’t as hot as classes at the Sunset location!

This is a great studio! I decided to try it out because I live so close. Every instructor I've had so far has been a gem (this is coming from a not-really-yoga person). Classes are warm but not too hot, and you can pick a more or less warm section of the studio, depending on your preference. Also, the practice here is fairly athletic and vigorous, which is something I also like. They clearly walk you through all the pose progressions. I also like that some of the instructors encourage you to introduce yourself to others around you to make connections

I’ve been going to the Yoga Shala in the Inner Sunset for two years and am thrilled they’ve opened a studio in the Richmond, my neighborhood! The teachers consistently offer strong vinyasa flows, and Brittany and the team create a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel you belong, no matter your fitness level. The new space is great, and I’m excited to see the Yoga Shala community grow in the Richmond—I’ll definitely be part of it. Highly recommend!
