About us and why we do yoga

Since opening our doors in March of 2005 our goal at the West Oakland Yoga Studio has been to offer a positive and healthy energy for the Lower Bottoms neighborhood of West Oakland.

The art and science of yoga is known for its acceptance and its positive transformation. This is why many of us do it, so we can accelerate this transformation and make our environment a better place. Even through self-interested motives, yoga still does its job! This is how beautiful and powerful it is if practiced regularly. This is why we are here.

Please feel free to stop by for a class. Our humble and beautiful space is located at 1725 Peralta Street at 18th Street on the second floor, just above the "Pretty Lady" diner.

There is plenty of safe street parking available. If you come on your bike, you can safely lock it outside in front of the studio or bring it inside and leave it on the first floor.
