I discovered SoulFlow a few months ago after a friend recommended trying Nia dance (I was looking for a dance class that was accessible for someone with chronic pain/illness). Stephanie’s Nia class has become a highlight of my week. I love the flow of it, the variety of movements, the influences (dance, martial arts, healing arts, etc.), the monthly themes, and the music. Stephanie’s somatic healing background makes it feel like more than just a dance class. I’ve also been doing a couple yoga classes, Satya’s gentle yoga and Rebecca’s restorative yoga. They’ve been a nice reintroduction to yoga after years away and some major health issues, and are reminding me what I loved about practicing. The instructors at Soulflow are skilled, down to earth, authentic, trauma informed, inclusive, and attuned to their students’ needs. They demonstrate respect for the traditions they’re teaching, while infusing their own wisdom, creativity, personality, and style. They create a welcoming, safe space for your practice and encourage you to sense and respect your body’s needs. I appreciate that their philosophy and practices are rooted in community and social justice, which results in a richer, more embodied practice, and informs the growth and healing you’ll experience. I’ve met some great fellow students at SoulFlow as well. There’s an interesting mix of offerings, and the space feels grounded and comfortable. After moving to the other side of the tunnel, it’s great to have an excuse to reconnect to Oakland a few times a week. I feel fortunate to have found SoulFlow. I was a little concerned about parking downtown, but it’s been fine.

True community centered yoga! Grateful for such a nourishing space. I've been to both Oakland and Pinole locations. No frills, just flow, connection, and beautiful energy. Classes are held with deep intention - while instructors and teaching styles are different, it's clear that each teacher guides and shares with genuine purpose and connection to community healing. Deep gratitude to Satya and all the teachers at Soulflow!

Ever grateful for this yoga studio. Soulflow is has been so welcoming. I've been consistently attending classes for a year at both the Pinole and Oakland studios. The classes are mindful and accessible. Not only do they host yoga classes, but they offer amazing special community events, dance classes, retreats, and more. Slide through!!!

Soulflow Oakland is a lovely and welcoming space! Satya is a great instructor, I always feel refreshed after her classes. She gets to know all of her students by name and puts a lot of emphasis on mindfulness and self love. The location is also super convenient for me, it’s just off of a 14 stop in downtown. Highlyyy recommend🫶🏻

I am so grateful that I found SoulFlow! It’s the first yoga studio that I’ve ever truly felt welcome at. The diversity of people and body types is truly special. Their event offerings, especially the sound baths, have been healing and transformative for me. It's a special place. A safe place. Warm and welcoming. I would encourage folks to give it a try whether you’ve done yoga before or not or at least check out one of their events.
