Yoga Tree's network of Bay Area studios are the best! Not only do they offer a wide variety of classes taught by well-vetted instructors, but they do a ton of really amazing workshops and teacher trainings through their studios. I took their 200-hour YTT last year and had a great experience, and continue to attend classes as a student.

I love that they've been in the Bay for a long time, and even though YogaWorks bought them a couple of years back, they've continued to feel like a business that reflects the values of its communities.

Finally, I can't emphasize enough that I feel they vet their teachers SO well. I've never attended a class where I thought the teacher was unqualified, or even just phoning it in. Teachers here (yes, even subs!) take their jobs seriously and do a fantastic job.

The variety of classes offered here is also great; it makes it so much easier to commit to a membership (which are super pricey at pretty much any studio in San Francisco!) knowing that I'll be able to find classes to suit my needs--from a super athletic vinyasa class to focusing on alignment, to finding a lower-speed class when I'm injured or just feeling low energy.

I love this network of studios, their teachers, and the community of students that they've cultivated in San Francisco and the Bay! read more
