Raquel Scalon Private Yoga — Local services in San Francisco

Last year I took advantage a great offer from Raquel—8 classes for the price of five! My goal with the sessions was to try to improve my walking and overall mobility. I have an arthritic ankle which has been impacting my walking over the last couple of years. Raquel, a master of reading bodies, spent time over the sessions carefully observing my movement and tailoring our sessions to strengthen and balance my leg and foot muscles. It took time (I’m glad I committed to the initial 8 sessions) but I have made and continue to make extraordinary progress. From being very unstable and unbalanced to stable, balanced and significantly stronger. My husband’s amazed at my progress. No more gripping over my limping snail's pace walking.

Raquel’s sessions are extremely targeted and focused. She really sees you and what is going on in your body. She immediately saw that my left calf was significantly less developed than the right due my favoring the right side to protect my weaker left ankle. The focus of the work really drove the improvements.

I cannot recommend the private sessions with Raquel enough. I will continue to work with Raquel. She’s quite reliable and super flexible in her scheduling. I am able to work in person in her wonderful San Francisco studio or remotely when I am at my...

If you are like me and managed to remain relatively active throughout your life but have the attention span that can barely handle the repetition of aerobics and/or jazzercise routines, you might think yoga is not your cup of tea. Yoga has all those funny names of the poses - you need to concentrate and oh my goodness even meditate! I tried yoga once a VERY long time ago and felt very self conscious and had a tough time not laughing at all that I have listed! But as I have aged I thought maybe I needed to work on my flexibility as I knew it wasn't going to get better year by year! So, I took the big leap and signed up for private lessons with Raquel Scalon. I found Raquel to be genuine, non-judgmental, caring, and best yet funny. My goal from the beginning was to be able to attend yoga group classes at a studio near my home without that horrid self-conscious feeling. I do believe I am getting close. I strongly recommend Raquel as a private...

I love taking yoga classes and workshops with Raquel!!! Raquel is such a wonderful teacher and I feel so lucky to get the chance to practice with her! I have been taking her classes for over 8 years now. Raquel is invested in your personal growth and is a very inspiring and affirming teacher. She takes time to get to know her students and knew my name by the second class!

She is a very skilled yoga teacher and really knows her craft. She is able to help people new to yoga grow into their practice and can challenge and motivate the advanced students as well by offering different variations and modifications. I feel like I have grown in my practice and she has encouraged and supported that growth! I always leave her classes and workshops feeling empowered and at ease. I love her thoughtful sequencing and really enjoy the flow of her classes.

If you get the opportunity to work with Raquel, I encourage you to! She is an...
