This is a more of a community than a business. They love having you there because YOU are an excellent person, not a revenue stream. The owners do a fantastic job of taking care of their customers while nurturing a viable, sustainable business. I AM SO GLAD MY BELOVED YOGA + PILATES COMMUNITY IS BACK!
I love the diversity of classes, the quality of instructors, and the variety of times. The Pilates instruction is also great and makes my yoga practice all the better. Restorative classes add balance. The instructors often introduce various options to make the poses more challenging or more suited for a beginner.
There is a lot of parking in the neighborhood... for San Francisco. I noticed an earlier review from someone who docked them a star because of challenging parking.There is usually a metered space in front, and free spots available one block west in front of the church/school or in the neighborhood, except maybe during peak churchgoing hours or when school lets out.
The online options are also plentiful and powerful. Support your local community - it comes back to you in...
Read moreThere's so much that makes Purusha Yoga Studio stand out from other yoga studios, both in San Francisco and further afield. I'll list a few reasons why I would recommend Purusha to a friend or associate. I feel extremely grateful to have begun my yogic journey at a studio like Purusha, where I have always felt welcome and have never encountered the air of pretension or exclusiveness that exists at other yoga studios.
In addition to feeling at ease every time I come to Purusha, I also need to point out that quality of instruction is also a factor. All of my teachers are equally amazing and cater to the needs of every student, whether they are regulars or have come to class for the very first time. Lastly, Purusha's class schedule is a serious selling point. Not only do they offer a wide variety of classes, they've designed a schedule so that there are classes at every time of the day - from early morning till late at night.
I have been to several other yoga studios in San Francisco and Purusha is still at the...
Read moreI purchased the Groupon for 1 month unlimited classes and had a horrible experience with the studio owner Eric. Parusha has a strict late policy that they do not inform their customers of until it is violated. I walked in to class 2 minutes past the classes beginning time to find that I had been canceled! The reason Eric said was that I was actually 7 minutes late even though the class was at 11, he told me I should have been there at 10:55. I walked away utterly humiliated at the unfairness of not having been informed of the policy and yet being penalized for it. I will never take a class again at Parusha. I had been showing up to classes late according to their policy for weeks and Eric never had the courtesy to tell me his policy and instead set me up for an embarrassing situation intentionally. I would not recommend Parusha to anyone aside from my resentment towards Eric the classes are sub par and I was overall...
