Addison Yoga Loft

I started going to this studio because it opened up near my house. Every time I have gone, I have enjoyed myself. The teachers are lovely people and I’ve gotten a lot out of the classes. I hope to make even more time to go in the future.

Decided to go to a real class rather than do my own practice at home or online. This class reminded me why it’s so nice to walk into a beautiful safe space and just let go of my notions of what I need to be doing. I know most people want classes that push them to injury but I love hatha practices that push me to stay present in a pose, find my breath and just nourish my body. I love a good sweat as much as the rest but I can always push myself even when down doing a pose a breath
I have been doing yoga for over a decade and am picky about classes and am so tired of the power yoga trend now when I go out to local classes
I hope they add more to their schedule as I know this can be limiting for people (myself included) but I hope to find the time to make it back

I’ve been a regular at Addison Yoga Loft for around 3 – 4 months now and I can say with confidence that it’s a real gem in Berkeley. I find most Yoga studios to be crowded, over priced, and sometimes pretentious. Not so at the Yoga Loft! The classes are growing but still feel personal. The wide variety of instructors are a huge reason I go so frequently; each brings a different perspective and background, which has been beneficial to a beginning yogi such as myself. Anna is pleasant and really easy to work with.
I’ve been reluctant to write a review for selfish reasons — I want to keep the loft as magical as it is today! But really others should discover it too. Thanks to Anna and all the teachers for helping me improve my mental and physical well being. Namaste.

What a wonderful yoga studio! The owner Anna is gracious and friendly and has created a true gem of a studio in Berkeley. The space is inviting, peaceful, and sunlight-​filled. The top-​notch teachers come from around the country and provide a wonderful atmosphere in which to practice. Classes can be tailored to both beginners and intermediate yogis. I am so glad that Addison Yoga Loft exists!

This place is awesome! I’ve taken classes from Mary, Alex and Julie — they are wonderful teachers. I’ve had a flow practice for 10 years and am quite selective about teachers. These ladies are technically on point, uplifting and the word I would use is opening — they get you to let go and open up. The studio offers slow, moderate and fast flow classes. Lots of before work and after work times. The prices are great. Big fan.

I’ve been going steady w/​Addison Yoga since May. LOL It’s a lovely space upstairs but most of all the yoga instructors are a wonderful collective beautiful energy! It’s not that typical cult commercial yoga studio… down the street.

I am so happy this yoga studio is in the neighborhood! The atmosphere is great — with big windows providing the perfect natural light. I felt extremely welcomed and comfortable during my first visit and can’t wait to try out some more classes!

I attended a lunchtime class and decided that the studio wasn’t a great fit for me. Below were some of the things I recognized:
Pros:
–Julie, our instructor, had such an amazing presence. She was able to guide the participants not just through a physical practice but she was also uplifting as well.
–Classes were not packed at all
–Participants were very laid back and engaged. No pretentious Lululemon walking ads.
Cons/​Recommendations:
–Have a high impact class that integrates weights for some more challenge. I love going to the Corepower Yoga sculpt classes because I like to feel the burn after my shaky legs can barely walk down.
–While the owners do their best to decorate and maintain the facility, it is still an older building in comparison to some of the other studios I’ve been to. There is unfortunately only one bathroom, so it can feel crowded at times.
–The price. While I believe the prices have gone down since the last time I checked the website, I still feel that I couldn’t justify paying that much for the quality of the classes. As a full-​time teacher and grad student, I could easily use that discount (no teacher discount here though) at Corepower and pay $ 129 for unlimited access rather than $ 128 here – considering the quality and amount of classes provided.
Again, I hope this review doesn’t come off as «I love Corepower only!» but rather to give some constructive feedback as to why I won’t be returning and would prefer to go to a competitor. All in all, if you’re not looking for a major workout and are okay with a mild, easy yoga flow, this is your spot. If you prefer a newer facility and various yoga types of classes, I would recommend checking out nearby studios as well. Classpass allows you a 2 week free trial, so that’s a great way to explore.

I immediately felt welcomed as a friend to this yoga studio, and it has been the same feeling with every instructor and the owner, Anna. The space is open, and has nice natural light with a view of green leaves through the window. I never feel any pressure here to push myself beyond what is comfortable for my body and the instructors are all very compassionate in the ways they correct my poses verbally or with a soft touch to get me into a better aligned position (I really appreciate this feedback and I think I’m improving!). Also, I use the connect app for mindbody (the schedule website they use) to check out which classes are coming up and sign up for them and it links to my calendar automatically, which gives me that extra motivation to get there and keep up my new yoga habit ;)

A great new yoga studio in the neighborhood! It’s a small space, but lovely, peaceful and welcoming. The pricing is very reasonable and they have a great selection of classes at convenient times. I have been quite happy with the teachers I’ve taken with so far, especially Alex Crow on Saturday mornings. With all the big franchise studios popping up lately, Addison Yoga Loft is a welcome alternative. I highly recommend checking it out!

Excellent customer satisfaction/​service. I showed up for a restorative a while back and was the only one there that evening. I was worried about staying as I was on the 30 $ for 30 days intro. I stayed and felt completely welcomed by both Anna, the Studio owner and Grey, the yoga instructor. I had an amazing one on one session of blissful zen restorative yoga, and left feeling whole again. I was won over whole heartedly, receiving such tender loving care. Way to go Addison Yoga Loft! Thank you!

I visited Addison during the first month they opened and it was really lovely. The space is small — but really pretty and the wall of windows create a really nice vibe. I went to Alex Crow’s class on the weekend and it was pretty amazing, I definitely recommend checking her out!!! Great class, great space, overall great experience.

Really loving Addison Yoga Loft! The classes and teachers are great, and the space is beautiful. Couldn’t ask for more!

Very nice studio! peaceful atmosphere, spacious, ventilated and clean. I took the 7:45pm restorative class with Grey Marcoux, she was very professional guiding us through practice, her cues were clear and easy to follow. By the time we were done I was so relaxed I didn’t want to leave! That night I slept so good I am beyond grateful. Allow yourself the time to let go the stress from work, traffic and life in general, give Addison Yoga Loft a try, you wont regret it!

Great new studio! With all the focus around Berkeley on heated yoga classes, I’m thrilled to find a convenient and lovely studio that offers a variety of other options, including restorative yoga, which is hands-​down the best way to guarantee an excellent night’s sleep. I almost don’t want to share my happiness because the last thing I want is a crowded yoga experience, but hey, I’m all for giving a shout out to great new local businesses!

Beautiful space. Top notch teachers, great classes and they’re never too full! Anna the owner is super sweet too! I would definitely recommend Addison Yoga loft!

A little gem in my West Berkeley neighborhood, this yoga studio has great classes, experienced teachers, and very clean with nice natural light. I purchased their intro package this month ($ 30 for 1 month). Because I’m highly impressed, I will definitely be a regular here.

The teachers that they have are all wonderful. Really lovely space. great light, good energy. I like the range of offerings. Super sweet owner and a great deal … the first month is only $ 30.00. I signed up and loved my first class. So glad they are in my neighborhood. A very welcome addition. Plus they are right beside my favorite café Local 123.

Beautiful, charming space. Welcoming, peaceful vibe. Incredible 30 days for $ 30 deal! Definitely worth checking out!

Great, personal studio. Avoid the corporate crowd, meet normal people who are kind and open.
