At Yoga Tree we strive to bring you the best yoga instructors the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer in studios that are clean, warm and supportive.

Editorial Review for Yoga Tree – by Jennifer Lewis

The Scene
With locations in Upper Haight, Mission and Hayes Valley, each branch reflects its neighborhood's distinct vibe, providing a clean, safe place to practice yoga. Evening and weekend classes at the Stanyan and Valencia studios tend to be crowded, sometimes too full, while the Hayes location is usually less packed.

The Workout
Each studio offers classes in a variety of styles to suit yogis of all levels. With extensive class schedules, including power flow, ashtanga, anusara, hatha, jivamukti, Iyengar, prenatal and restorative, classes vary tremendously depending on the instructor. For example, Rusty Wells' vigorous power flow class is filled with chanting and will leave you soaked, while James Higgins' power flow concentrates more on body awareness than constant movement. Stephanie Snyder's hatha flow emphasizes core strengthening and is taught in a heated room, so prepare to sweat. Each teacher is well-trained and truly dedicated to their practice, ensuring that every class is an excellent workout.

Several locations, visit them all (they are dramatically different in ambiance, classes, and CROWDS) to decide which is best for you. Take the Yoga 101, and dip into as many different classes as you can. My boyfriend and I prefer the unlimited monthly passes where we've tried every class and almost every instructor. Most establishments do not offer such a variety so take advantage of it; personalize your learning experience. You will find some places, classes, and instructors you will not like but others will provide you with exactly what you're looking for. Whether it is to simply rejuvinate and receive a little oil massage from the teacher, or to work muscles that you didn't even know where there...Yoga Tree is a wonderful addiction to health and harmony.

Pros: unlimited pass & several locations leaves room to explore/learn

Cons: Hayes= usu. busy, Valencia=old building (dirty & can be hot)

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Too crowded and very unclean; they don't even seem to sweep once per day, much less in between classes. The place is gross, and better teachers have gone to other studios.

Cons: unclean, crowded, musty smelling
