Ranya customizes her sessions with us to address what we want to focus on. She’s patient, knowledgeable and very passionate about yoga. Since we’ve started with Ranya, we’ve seen improvement in our flexibility, strength and relaxation. We attribute Ranya with our learning lifelong tools for reducing stress, living in the moment and improving our overall health.

I love Ranya’s style of teaching yoga, meditation and mindfulness. She’s really intuitive and knows how to provide just what each student needs. I’ve taken group classes with her as well as private sessions. In both, I feel restored and revitalized. I learn something new from her every time. She’s a caring, attentive and moving yogi.

I was deeply impressed with Ranya’s skills for running a yoga session that seemed to work really well for everyone in the room. There were about 20 of us with different abilities, but I felt that we were all quickly on the same page. The routine flowed smoothly, and as time passed, I felt myself drawn in to the rhythm of the session. By the end, I noticed that we were all happy and smiling — so not just a good class but a very cool and meaningful group experience.

I really enjoyed the calm and supportive atmosphere Ranya created for our restorative yoga session. I was having problems with hip pain and she showed me several ways to stretch and open my hips. She was very clear in her instructions and asked if she could take photos of me in certain poses. She then emailed me those photos (with detailed descriptions) to help me remember the proper form. I found our time together very helpful, relaxing, and healing.

I have had the pleasure of taking Ranya’s Yin and Restorative yoga classes at Prajna for a while now — they are the perfect way to relax and unwind during the middle of the week and at the end of the weekend. Ranya is a wonderful teacher with a very calming energy, and I always leave class in a very blissed-​out Zen state!

Yoga by Ranya was a wonderful experience!
Her Yoga studio is nestled in the hills of Belmont– very serene and quiet– just what I needed to relax fully. The energy and kindness that radiates from her adds to the overall yoga experience.
I came as a beginner to a private session and she made sure that I was comfortable with each yoga position and gave me helpful adjustments since I have problems with my wrists. The mixture of many different yoga styles made it a unique experience that I am sure I wouldn’t have found at a gym yoga class. I could tell that she had 16 years of experience since she was so knowledgeable and it was easy for her to make adjustments and incorporate her training in each step. The homework yoga practice that she offered to send me by email will help me stick with my practice.
All around great experience with a great relaxation pose at the end. Ahhhhh…

I was looking for a Yin Yoga class near my house after taking one elsewhere with a friend… and I found Ranya’s class at Prajna in Belmont. I’m stiff as a board, so I’m a little nervous about yoga… but I love Ranya’s class. She has a lovely calm nature, and I always feel «reset» after her classes. She is very patient and knowledgeable, and makes careful adjustments to poses. I also take her restorative class at the same studio, which is fabulous. I would absolutely recommend taking classes with Ranya.

Before I had my first class with Ranya, I was a total newbie to yoga. I’m still a newbie (I’ve only had 3 classes so far), but I’ve been having a great time!
Though Ranya is incredibly experienced in yoga herself, she makes it a point to be patient with beginners, and has made me feel encouraged to continue practicing, and improve a little bit every time. I could tell throughout the classes that she was paying attention to all of her students, and genuinely cared how they were doing.
I was a bit nervous at first, as I always pictured yoga as being a little bit daunting. Ranya cleared that up quickly though, and now I can’t wait until our next session!
If you get a chance to attend one of Ranya’s yoga classes, take it!

I’ve taken Ranya’s classes at Prajna in Belmont and she is a delight.
Not only does she also ask how each class member is doing, but makes amazing adjustments if the student is comfortable with it.
Her Yin and restorative classes are smoothing and basically the definition of «chill.» You’ll walk out of class feeling taller, OK you might actually be taller as a result, happier and healthier.
Couldn’t recommend any higher!

I was recommended to Ranya’s Yin class through a friend and have been hooked ever since.
I am a type A personality, taking Ranya’s class has helped in my relaxation; as well as helping me release tight muscles I’ve had for years; after her class I go home and sleep like a baby.
Not only is she a wonderful Yoga Instructor, Ranya is a warm, kind and gentle person.
Please do try to take a class or instruction from her if you are seeking a Yoga teacher; I
can’t say enough wonderful things about her.

I had difficulty finding the perfect yoga studio/​instructor to suit me after moving to the Bay. I tried out a lot of studios (in the North Bay and East Bay) and none seemed like a great fit, until I met Ranya. I’ve been taking private lessons with Ranya for about three months now and I already feel so much better about my practice!
I honestly can’t say enough great things about her instruction. Not only is she a wonderfully nice and welcoming person and teacher, but she’s incredibly knowledgeable. My sessions are catered specifically to help me achieve the goals we set when I first started (e.g., core strengthening, flexibility, focus/​mindfulness during practice, etc.). And since she knows so much about the different disciplines of yoga, she can easily change my routine by implementing different styles and poses to help me get the most out of each session. Practicing with her is engaging and fun, but I’m also constantly learning and reaching new depths as a yogi.
She really wants the best for her students and I couldn’t be more appreciative of her insight, patience, and positivity (and she’s hilarious to boot!). Ranya is such a treasure and I recommend that anyone, at any age, take from her if they want to get the most out of their practice!
Namaste, y’all.

5 Stars are not enough!!! My wife and I have regular private Yoga lessons with Ranya in our home. She amazed us by her grace, patience and adaptability to our environment (we have 2 kids who try to participate) :) she works with us at our pace and challenges us with new techniques that have helped us feel better and stronger. She one of a kind instructor who cares and helps us through out the session to ensure that we are getting the most out of it. Ranya is a joy to work with and her positive energy is contagious :) My wife and I highly recommend her and you can’t find a better Yoga instructor!!!

Ranya Anabtawi has a Yin Yoga class in Belmont that is phenomenal. I now book my Thursdays around her class. I thought I was taking a regular yoga class and it ended up being a Yin Yoga class. I felt so opened up in my joints, slept well and felt great the next day. It is a class for everyone, just go at your own pace. I have been going for at least four weeks, one time a week and for the first time in many years, in my Pilates class, I can reach my right arm up straight now, because my shoulder is opened up from Ranya’s teaching.
Thank you Ranya!

Ranya is a calm, patient, and reassuring teacher who is able to teach to any level of yoga experience. My daughter and I have taken private lessons in Ranya’s peaceful studio. We have focused mainly on restorative yoga but have moved into other forms with Ranya’s gentle encouragement. I highly recommend Ranya no mattr your level of experience.

You will not find a better trainer than Ranya! Not only is she an excellent instructor but she is a kind, caring and wonderful person which my husband and I believe sets her apart from other trainers. Her studio has a very welcoming, calm, serene and relaxing atmosphere. Ranya is very flexible and considerate in working with her students’ pace. Everyone is different and have varying degrees of difficulty and she never judges you for any of these. She worked with my husband’s and my own restrictions but at the same time, gently encouraged us to challenge, listen to and get to know our body. We were very fortunate to have found Ranya because we were looking for private yet affordable classes and we got lucky to have gotten that and more! Thank you Ranya!!! You deserve endless stars in this review :)

Ranya is the best! Her calm and patient demeanor is just wonderful. Her small classes are perfect for any experience level. Ranya is able to tailor her classes to each person’s needs and provide one on one instruction. I learned so much from her in the time I was taking weekly classes. I have not been able to return since before my son was born but I MISS IT SO MUCH! I need Ranya’s yoga in my life again and am plotting ways to get back into the routine. I would recommend Ranya’s studio to anyone!

This girl ROCKS! You know that the best yoga is the yoga you want to do, and Ranya brings it! Her Restorative Yoga class completely zens me out. She also teaches Hatha and Vinyasa. She’s patient and relaxed — she goes at my pace — she instructs me how to listen to my body and I hear new things every class. I’ve been taking private lessons from her, too. She’s on time every time and her personal touch is well worth the price! Her studio in Belmont is cozy and relaxed — the perfect setting for getting your ‘ohm’ on. Check Ranya out, she’s a gem!

Just being in Ranya’s presence is therapeutic! The moment you walk through the door the serene and beautiful environment she’s created is well matched by her calm and joyful energy. Her classes manage to be the perfect level for anyone in attendance as she seems well tuned in to the needs of each student. I’ve always felt at peace and perfectly physically cared for and extended when I leave. I couldn’t recommend Ranya and her YogaLove any more highly!
