I would like to emphasize that Olga is the reason I am back practicing yoga after about a year and a half of a hiatus. The way Olga teaches has allowed me to want to be more disciplined in my yoga practice. I feel like I’m in ballet class learning proper form for every move, especially the correct ways to transition from one pose to another. I respect the way Olga teaches and brings such a wonderful and amazing vibe and energy. By the end of the class everyone is sharing awesome energy.

I loved getting a cool towel at the end of my workout and I loved the encouraging messages by Janelle.

Sue is awesome!

Well, I love being surrounded by hot black men, the showers are a nice touch, and overall, it's just a vibe. I leave feeling grounded and powerful and I am so grateful for the space. Thank you.

Variety of classes – from beginner-friendly flow to challenging sculpt classes with weights.
   The instructors are motivating, approachable, and skilled at adjusting to different levels.
   The studio is clean, modern, and designed to feel energizing and welcoming.

The Grandlake instructors are welcoming and So friendly! I especially appreciate how clean the space is.

Sue was a great instructor. She was clear, and really helps keep you on track and doing the movements correctly and keeping the right breath cadence. Her classes are paced well and are challenging.

The instructors, studio cleanliness, welcoming environment, variety, music

Favorite studio in the East Bay! I was visiting the area and stopped by Grand Lake, Rockridge, and West Berkeley -- and Grand Lake was my favorite space AND favorite instructor. Killer class. Thank you!

First and foremost the studio has a great vibe. It is clean and spacious. As for the classes, I’ve so far taken three classes and I loved everything about them. The instructors make sure to modify the exercises and that alone made me feel comfortable and confident.

The instructors at Grand lake are great

I really like yoga sculpt

I really enjoyed attending Asha’s class. She is an excellent instructor and had great pace and I really appreciate her energy. Thank you!

I love that your studios offer a free weekly class. It allows us to try out different teacher styles.

Great teachers and variety in workout

Love the instructors

good class

Everything! Especially the instructors who create both great yoga classes and a strong sense of community.

Loved my afternoon yoga sesh with Sean - he's HILARIOUS and his levity and humor helps with his longer static poses. I'm in awe on how much stronger I feel after that class. I absolutely love his Phantom of the Opera yoga combining storytelling and yoga flow. I'm on a health journey and CPY is supporting it.
Heartily clapping for all the yoga teachers at CPY!
