Great place! I took a class with Jackie on Monday night. She’s amazing! I haven’t done a yoga class in so long and was sore for the past 2 days! I love being sore.
One time visit is $ 20 however they also have a deal where you can visit 3 times for $ 20 and you can choose the location.

I recently took a class with Susannah Freedman, and I absolutely loved it! Her class was refreshing and soul cleansing, which is exactly what I needed that day. Her flows are very smooth and she offers plenty of alternatives if you have an injury, or if you would like to make the position more challenging. I appreciated her hands on teaching style. Thank you!

I echo what has been said here. The classes definitely overbook… even on weekdays. So much so that the first ten minutes of class are spent making people move their mats so that additional people can fit in the room. Maybe they could shorten classes so they can offer more?

I loved the classes, but even with reservations at Saturdays, they overbook, I felt really disappointed when I came there 5 min late WITH RESERVATION and they said there was no place for me

Avoid Saturday & Sunday classes. Even with reservations, they overbook. With theYoga Works buy out — It Equals an Equinox Corporate approach. Definitely out of balance– business is weighted toward the greed end

Was visiting SF for a week and bought a 5 class pass. Great experience. So unpretentious, which unfortunately, isn’t always easy to come by in SF. Susannah’s all levels vinyasa class was exceptional — a perfect balance of difficulty and genuine attention to focusing on one’s inner voice. Thank you!

I really like this studio! Unpretentious and very welcoming. I’m always a tad wary to try new places (I just moved to SF from BKLYN). But I’m on my fifth class and I really look forward to each vinyasa class. I think Estee might be my fav instructor out of the bunch, but they’re all great! Definitely come and take advantage of the 3 classes for $ 20 beginners pack.
The only thing that threw me off was the no mirror but I am beginning to like it!

Caveat: I’m loyal to a studio that plays no music and supports no talking besides cues for breathing and posture. I was hoping to find a temporary studio while back in SF that I enjoyed just as much as my home studio, but unfortunately, a common problem I have with 95% of the places I find now: the teachers talk too much during class. All the bits of chit-​chat, anecdotes about his/​her weekend, jokes, rhetorical questions and tangents – you name it – add up to disrupt flow, meditation, and focus on the breath (might I add most of these studios play so much music I can’t even hear my breath?). I was not that thrilled with the instruction here, but the introductory 3-​class pass is a good deal, and the complementary Yogi tea was a nice amenity.

I am visiting SF and wanted to find a welcoming studio to walk to everyday. This little studio was perfect. Friendly staff and great variety in yoga classes. Since my focus was to «untangle» my stress ball of a body and attempt to slow down during my mini vacation I decided to try out the yin yoga on Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow I’m going for a flow class. Amazing teachers, great class size and space. Make sure to call vs. pay online so you get the 3 for $ 20 deal… Perfect number of classes for a weekend visit! Enjoy and namaste:)

I love this studio! The teachers are professional and engaging and continue to amaze me with their ability to cater to many levels at once. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the owners care very much about feedback and take it seriously. I feel very at ease in the calming atmosphere here. Thanks Yoga Tree!

I’ve been practicing at Yogatree for 2 years now and love this studio! The studio is clean, bright, and inviting. I appreciate that there are no mirrors in the room to distract me. The front desk staff is friendly and efficient. I like going to Vinyassa classes and favorite teachers are Jeremi, Elizabeth, and Andrea. They all have their own style but teach interesting, challenging classes and offer modifications for different levels and abilities. Yogatree offers 3 classes for $ 20 for new students and can be used at any of their locations which is a great deal! Definitely worth checking out.

Disappointing Customer Service.
I purchased a introductory 3-​class pass and was told it was good for two weeks. I attended two classes then came down with the flu. When I called to see if I could extend the deadline by a couple days, I was told no.
I considered going on the last day, but felt that my coughing (and potential sneezing) would be unfair to other students, so I stayed home. I’m disappointed by their inflexibly, especially for a simple request. (Note these were weekdays, so the classes were not full).

I’ve been practicing at this studio for a year now, and it has become an integral part of my wellness routine. The service is efficient and friendly. The space is comfortable, although wall mural feels a touch goofy. The community around the studio is on the younger, more active side. At least for the times that I attend.
But of course what really keeps me coming is the quality of the classes. Specifically Jacqui Rowley’s vinyasa sessions. Her style is athletic but incredibly graceful and never rushed. She puts a ton of thought into the sequences she creates, refreshing them on a regular basis, and building them around a certain area of focus and leading up to a key challenge for each class.
Her approach to instruction is at once warm and inclusive enough to guide newer yogis into the practice, and progressive in a way that challenges regulars to build on their understanding and go further. She has a keen eye for precision & alignment, and a focus on the host of little mechanics that go into making every pose work.
And she’s funny to boot!

We had a wonderful experience at this studio! We heard great things about the YogaTree chain and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely atmosphere, excellent teacher, tons of props (enough for a full class!), even a friendly person at the desk.
We stopped in for a 7am vinyasa flow class and had a great class! Wonderful cues and adjustments, great yogic atmosphere — wish we had more time to come back!

As I have expressed in my other review, this is a wonderful community with excellent teachers, a lovely environment and great staff.
I do, however, have a major grievance and that is the heating system. When the heat is turned on it is overwhelmingly loud so that the instructor can’t be heard. Thus, the teacher ends up NOT turning on the heat.
This is very unpleasant especially in the Yin and Restorative classes in which it is imperative that the body/​muscles are relaxed and warm. When I am cold I am tense and my muscles are not yielding. When doing Yin the body temperature always drops. The benefits of doing Yin is greatly reduced because of this issue.
And now that it is winter it is even more important that students are in a warm environment for optimal benefits of doing Yin or Restorative.
I do hope that management is responsive to this problem.

I have been going to Yoga Tree for 4+ years now. I would not say I am an expert yogi but take classes 1 – 2 times a week. There is no better studio in all of SF. It’s small, intimate and the set up in the actual class (facing each other rather than in rows toward one side of the room) is so unique.
The main reason I am writing this review is for Melody. After taking a 4 month break from yoga I started back up on what also happened to be Melody’s first class at Yoga Tree Stanyan. That was in January 2014 and I have been going to her classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights ever since. She heats the class to about 80 degrees so be prepared to sweat– but it feels awesome and is just enough heat. She guides you through a practice that is difficult for about 10 minutes and then sooo soothing.

Fantastic teachers. Great workshops and teacher training program. Great vibe. LOVE all the studios. A bit pricy, but definitely high quality. Favorite teachers: Julie Locke, Jacqui Rowley, Sean Haleen, Harvey Deutch, Leigh Ferrara, Mark Morford, Pete Guinosso, Lauren Slater, Cynthia Bates, Pradeep Teotia. They have a 3 classes for $ 20 introduction package for new students. Sweet deal.
