Yoga Flow SF - Union - San Francisco, California

Had a great heated session at this mornings 9am Vinyasa yoga class! Really enjoyed it, I am a beginner and I felt very comfortable with my level. The teacher was very good and friendly. I liked the music a lot too. The classroom is very beautiful and it’s on the top floor between trees so it feels very zen. I also love the windows - so beautiful! The class was full, but that is to be expected.

The studio is beautiful, two outer walls have huge, beautiful windows, letting in the outside sunlight but keeping it still intimate since it’s on the 2nd floor.

They have a 6am 50 min class which for people working east coast or cerebral hours is gold, the only studio I could find in the area with 6 am class.

It’s so comfortably warm and you get nice and sweaty 10 minutes into the flow.

The yoga instructor was great too, was easy to follow her directions to upbeat tunes

Price is the only reason it’s a 4/5 ⭐️at $35 a class it feels pretty expensive

My very favorite studio in the city. Beautiful space -- huge windows that look out over beautiful green trees. Skylight that brings in natural light. Heated vinyasa yoga with wonderful teachers and great music. I've made some of my closest friends from the studio; very nice crowd. Favorite teachers are Anna Hughes, Erin Gilmore, Leslie Gleser, and Tanya Clark. They offer classes in a smaller, non-heated room for beginners and/or advanced students who are focusing on the basics and alignment. I've tried classes across the country and have not found any studio that I like more than Yoga Flow. They also have beautiful spaces in Noe Valley and on Ocean Ave. One opening soon in Walnut Creek, too!

I am a long time customer of yoga flow, I used to go regularly when I lived in San Francisco. I had planned on arriving to the class 8 minutes prior, my typically time which i always sat around on Instagram while we waited to start. Once I arrived I found out that half the street has construction going on and the usual parking is not available today. Unfortunately because of this I ended up arriving only two minutes EARLY before class started. The class door was already closed and Jeannie had started the class early. There was no one at the front desk to help me rent a yoga mat, which is something I always did when I’m out of town. There is 10 other students in the class, which is much smaller than their typical class which can go up to 25 or 30 people and a busy day. Jeannie, the instructor saw me without a yoga mat, and I was still attempting to do the yoga poses. My hope was that she would see me without a yoga mat and offer me one at some point. She did not. She did not even look my direction, not one time. My knees ended up hurting so badly from doing the poses on the hard wood flows that I had to stop five minutes before the class ended. My knees are now in so much pain and I feel very dissatisfied. All the people in the class was also looking at the interaction between the instructor and I… and I feel like they all felt bad for me. I felt bad for me. I arrived on time, my intention was to rent a yoga mat which takes 20 seconds to do. And I felt totally ignored. If Jeannie is the main instructor, I encourage you all that are interested in coming to the class to arrive at least 15 minutes early because you’re not sure if she’s ever gonna start much earlier.

I give this studio 5 stars. Very clean, spacious, and beautiful space. Friendly front desk staff, and above all, very friendly and inclusive instructors.

The only thing I’d complain about is the lack of friendliness and manners of the students. When someone else or I myself have to practice close beside one another when the class is packed, I always give them a smile or say hello, but they all usually have a stink face.

Also when we’re done, the environment suddenly becomes unwelcoming. No one says excuse me to one another, and just reach all over each other to get their belongings in a way that makes me feel like just hurrying up and getting out of the environment lol.

This is not something I can remove a star for though, because the mannerisms of the students is not the fault of the studio. Overall, I will definitely be returning

I attended the studio for over 3 months. Overall, I enjoyed the yoga classes and the quality of the teachers are quite balanced. There are a few factors that made me give them 4 stars instead of 5.

1. The music is usually very loud and distracting. The loud music really diminished the purpose of doing yoga.
2. The classes are overall fast paced. But the sequences are somehow repetitive flows. I got bored after attending the studio for 1 month or so. Please add some arms or balance variations into different classes.
3. Some teachers are a bit overly dramatic. One teacher played a Sam smith song and told us to close our eyes and champion the power of getting over a breakup. Hmmm it is a yoga class teacher, it’s not therapy. ?
4. Sometimes the studio is too hot especially during the hot summer days. The temperature can be more weather friendly.

I might go back to the studio and give them a shot again. But please at least considering lowering the music and reducing playing the pop songs during classes.

More like an urban oasis, this is by far the best yoga studio in SF! Clean, airy and sunny space where you can see leaves glistening while flowing thru postures in a heated setting. Instructors are top-notch, most notably Leslie G, Tom L, Tanya C and Martin.
