Yoga Garden Of San Francisco

I have been studying with David Nelson at Yoga Garden for about 3 years. I have been studying mostly Iyengar yoga on and off for 15 years. I've seen lots of teachers and David Nelson is one of the best. more

I got hooked on Iyengar yoga when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. Marisa's pre-natal yoga changed my life! The post-natal and toddler/parent classes are terrific too, as are all the regular classes I've attended. The space is clean and tranquil, and the teachers are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. You'll love the entry and little garden you walk through on the way to class. It's a special place in the heart of the city. more

My daughter and I both study at the studio. The warm family atmosphere has become a key pillar in our lives. I cannot say enough good things about Yoga Garden. try it !!! more

There's lots available in San Francisco fortunately, but I've settled on Yoga Garden because (1) terrific teachers - very well trained in Iyengar Yoga, give individual attention to all students equally, (2) Iyengar is great for people like me that come with injuries from other methods and can work thru them and resolve them here (3) great space - walk thru a garden to a nice welcoming space - retreat from the city environment (4) classes available at 7am - I go before I go to the office, so I take that time for myself first thing in the day! more

yoga garden's teachers are well trained and attentive to the specific needs of their students. the school is fenced in off a busy street, surrounded by lovely plants, making it a quiet, serene place to come connect with your body...i take an intro and intermediate class with Priya...she has a great way of really helping you home in on your areas in need of focus. check it out! p.s. (you CAN usually find parking about 1.5 blocks south of Yoga Garden on Divisadero, just before Castro morphs into Divisadero) more

I first visited Yoga Garden on Divisadero as an expectant mother. Their prenatal and postnatal teachers are fabulous - very knowledgeable and caring. Class sizes are typically small, ensuring that each student receives lots of individual attention. Pros: Individual attention, Clean/calm environmnt, No-fuss atmosphere more

A friendly intimate atmosphere with superb instructors and an elegant earthy studio. Enter a new level of practice at this fine family run business. more

The Yoga Garden's Yoga 101 has been the most sublime experience I've had on the floor of a former recording studio. I was suspicious when my girlfriend informed me I was signed up for yoga classes for the entire month of January. Didn't I have to where tights? And what about the looking deep within ourselves for inner peace? Words which would come from the mouth of some 22 yr old community college, granola eating hippy. Aha, but thankfully I was very wrong. My instructor (Octavia, shes great!) had recently returned from one of Indias temples of Yoga where she had spent three months taking instructiuon directly from man who had developed the style used at Yoga Gardens. The class was a hour and a half and invigorating, stimulating, relaxing all at once. The Yoga 'high' I was on for the rest of the day was completly addictive! Highly reccomended. Pros: Inexpensive, Great Instructors, Variety of Classes more

I like to take classes here because I feel the teachers are well informed. I find the mature and friendly style of the other students in class to be a big plus. Pros: smaller classes, personal instruction more

This studio is fabulous. Whenever I travel I check out yoga studios. This place has a nice uplifting feel, is clean and has a home-y (not corporate) feel to it. The teachers that I had were incredibly professional and knowledgable. I would recommend this place to anyone that I cared about. Pros: good parking more

Castro Yoga has some of the best Iyengar teachers in town. Pros: Small classes, Great teachers, Friendly students more
