I've been taking classes at Left Coast for several years and this review is very overdue. I was not a confident yogi when I started. Left Coast has been the perfect place for me to grow, and because it's such a welcoming space, it's become an important part of my weekly routine. I love that the teachers all have different styles - there's something for everyone. I see both teachers and students of different races, body types, genders, and ages. I've become a big fan of heated yoga, but some of the classes are less hot, if that's not your thing. I appreciate that Rachel organizes community-building events, in addition to the regular class schedule. It's a pretty affordable studio, especially for the Bay Area, and there often seem to be discounted or sliding-scale class options - and I've also heard that the teachers are fairly compensated and offered benefits. Great vibes all around, I'm so glad Left Coast exists.
