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 ​i​nvite 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.

We are thrilled to announce Christa's new class time! Join her on Wednesdays 12-1pm in Sausalito for Radiant Kundalini Flow!

Join her for a flow sprinkled with energetic Kundalini Kriya’s for body activation. Expect an invigorating yoga practice including fun swift movements and energetic breaths.

We’re over the moon to share that starting Saturday, September 6, you can practice with Stephanie Phelan at Cloudbreak — every Saturday at 7:45am!

Her Ashtanga-inspired Vinyasa Flow blends traditional and creative sequencing with soulful playlists, humor, and thoughtful alignment cues.

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. You will take time to breathe, open your body for hip and low back tension relief, nourish your nervous system, and embrace your changing body. Our goal is that every expecting mama will leave class with a deeper understanding of her pregnancy and upcoming labor and birth. Each class will include breathwork, mindfulness meditation, and gentle yoga sequences.

We are thrilled to add a new Friday evening restorative class with John Berlinsky, from 5-6pm every Friday in San Rafael.

Deeply relax and slow down the body and mind. Restorative yoga poses are supine, passive, and comfortably supported with yoga props (blanket, bolster, strap, and blocks). The class is intended to engage the parasympathetic nervous system allowing the body to completely relax.

Led by Michelle Wing from IYK®, this class is designed for parents and kids to practice yoga together, creating lasting memories while fostering connection, flexibility, and strength. This class offers poses and activities for all ages, with plenty of opportunities for laughter and bonding.

Each session will also support a great cause, making your practice even more meaningful. Come stretch, play, and give back as a family!

This 3-hour workshop goes beyond the dos and don’ts, we will cover the whys with a deep dive into the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant body. You will learn modifications and variations of postures so that you can better practice and/or serve your pregnant students. There is a lot of misinformation about what is appropriate at this time. We will debunk some of the myths. This workshop will include lecture, discussion and a short practice. It will be fun, informative and maybe mind blowing. The only prerequisite is that you come with a curious and open mind.

Labor does not have to be a scary, painful, horrible experience. This workshop will empower you to make your labor and delivery what you want it to be.
