200 classes later and Tower Yoga is still my favorite place to practice. Great instructors, tons of class times to choose from, and both heated and non-heated locations. But honestly what makes it special is the community - you feel safe and accepted from day one. Best yoga studio around, period.

I have been coming here for 11 months, done about 200+ classes. they have 10-15 yoga instructors, diverse set of classes, different levels, intensity & flow. I really enjoy taking classes with different instructor to find ones that work best for me. After some trail & error I discovered I really enjoy the medium intensity classes like hot vinyasa. Most day I come in stressed with million thoughts bouncing around in my head & leave this place calm & at peace with clear mind.

This review has been a long time coming. My experience here at Tower Yoga was right before the pandemic and is based on a few encounters I had with the female owner. I want to say that the studio itself looked great and I loved the location/set up and a majority of the instructors. (Mj and Astrid) ⭐️ ⭐️ I became a paying member after a few clients mentioned it to me as I lived in the area. I took a few easy classes at first and decided to take a hot yoga class. A friend and I signed up for an intro hot yoga class which was described online as slow moving, lots of water breaks, and verbal instructions on how to breathe and so forth. When my friend and I arrived to the class it was lead by the female owner. Who I had taken a class or two with before. We went right into what felt like an intense version of hot yoga. No breaks and no instructions on how to better handle the class and difficult poses. My friend and I were so confused because we thought it would be for beginners as listed. At one point, my friend and I were struggling to keep up and she looked over at me, and I whispered, “I’m sorry.” She whispered something like, “I hate you” and we both quietly laughed at ourselves and carried on. At the very end, after the instructor finished, I walked up to her and asked if they had an easier class for beginners. Her demeanor immediately changed and she got defensive. Suggesting that the free beginner class was held on a certain day. I was confused and mentioned the class that day was labeled for beginners. She didn’t believe me about the description of the class being easy or for beginners so I showed her the class description from my phone thinking it was just a mix up. Confirming the description she actually rolled her eyes. Then said something along the lines that if my friend and I hadn’t been talking then maybe we would have gotten more from the instruction. Let me be clear that there was no instruction and my friend and I had only one small convo which I mentioned. I told her that we were paying members and that we had no issue we just wanted to take an easier class first to help us get better. She rolled her eyes again and asked, “So what did you have trouble with?” I mentioned having a knee restriction and her response was for me not to come. At that point my friend and I left and I was very upset by how poorly I was treated. In other classes, with this woman, I noticed the vibe was different. She’s got an ego and does not handle feedback well. This sets the tone for the whole studio in my opinion. I definitely feared retaliation as she acts like a big shot in The Tower District. So be aware, if you “disagree” with her or you don’t behave how she wants you to, she will show you her awful side and it’s not fun. If you want to walk on eggshells and feed her ego, this place is for you. Which is unfortunate because the studio is beautiful and the location is great. If this place is under new management please let me know and I will reconsider my review after taking/paying for a beginner hot yoga class. 🙂

Very friendly staff. A very inclusive feeling place. All types of folks here. You should feel comfortable as a newbie or experienced yogi. This studio is mostly all hot classes, and it gets hot! Other studio is Lotus and non-heated. Membership or drop in class fee. Newcomers get a week free. Entrance is through the back patio area of Goldsteins. Lots of parking in back.

A lovely experience from walking in the door to walking out feeling rejuvenated and positive. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. A beautiful space. Very clean. Very nice bathroom and changing area with showers. Which was needed as this was the hottest hot yoga room I've been in with added steam as well. They have other community events as well, book club with tea, running club, and traveling retreats. Wonderful experience and if I lived in Fresno I would 100% be a member. Thank you!
