This Summer: Sunset Yoga Flows at 1 Hotel San Francisco
We’re crossing the bridge! Metta Yoga is partnering with 1 Hotel San Francisco to bring you Sunset Yoga Flows on their stunning rooftop, overlooking the Bay Bridge and Ferry Building.
Open to both Metta Yoga students and hotel guests, the class is accessible for all levels.
This class is for every mom, from 6 weeks postnatal all the way through the childrearing years. Whether you’re carrying a newborn or juggling teenagers, Metta Mama Flow meets you where you are. We will focus on building core strength, toning the pelvic floor, strengthening glutes, opening the front body, and releasing tension. We will also address common aches like low back discomfort, hip tension, and tight shoulders that come from motherhood and modern life.
Metta Mama Flow balances strength and softness, with alignment cues and safe modifications to meet you where you are in your body. We will lean into our roles as mothers, building physical strength to support the responsibilities of our lives, while also cultivating mental resilience. Through breathwork, asana, and mindset practices, we will cultivate strength and invite in the softening necessary to create a more balanced central nervous system response, on and off the mat. This class is about building strength, restoring, and honoring yourself; your body, your mind, and your mama heart.
Yoga helps children to manage emotions and provides opportunities to explore fun physical movement, develop body awareness, coordination, and of course, to play! We will create space to connect through yoga poses, games, storytelling and more. Parents welcome to stay and watch or drop off.

Perimenopause and menopause bring a series of complex, often overlooked changes that can deeply affect both mental and physical well-being. As hormones fluctuate, so too can mood, energy, sleep, cognition, and overall wellness. But with the right support and understanding, this phase can also be a time of reconnection and empowerment.
Join us for an insightful panel where we will explore the full spectrum of changes during this journey and how a holistic, integrative approach can help restore equilibrium.
In this evening, slower prenatal yoga class, you will create space mentally, physically and spiritually, and feel supported in community with other expecting mamas.

Each class will include breathwork, mindfulness meditation, and gentle yoga sequences.
