Yoga Mayu is a quaint yoga healing studio offering an inviting safe space to practice yoga and meditation. The instructor Annabelle was very professional calming and attuned to her yogis needs. The class was very healing and my day following this class was brilliant. Highly recommend Yoga Mayu as part of your daily dosage of emotional balance and overall well-being.

Loving Yoga Mayu. Been going consistently for a few months and my practice has developed a lot, I've become more dedicated and aware of my body and movement.

A friend of mine recommended Mayu to me when we were talking about yoga studios closer to this side of the city we live on that practice more breathing and traditional yoga flows. Located at the tippy top of one of the hills in Potrero Hill, it's quite a nice leg workout for me to walk 20 minutes to the quaint and cozy little studio. The space is very simplistic and aromatic with some natural diffusers or incense. Luckily, Mayu is available on ClassPass and I was able to book and attend two sessions to date. There typically does not seem to be too many yogis in the classes I've been in, about 6 people maximum and more than enough room for everyone to space out at arm's length, which is a huge plus. I've taken classes with Gizella and Sara, both of whom are great instructors and lead you through a slower paced flow, allowing you to truly focus on positioning yourself properly and your breath with each movement. It's definitely not the type of studio where you break out into a sweat, it truly is a relaxing experience and a chill flow. The only feedback I have is to be a little warmer with the students here, as I feel both instructors were a little distant upon interactions and on a couple of occasions, the class was canceled without much notice an hour before.

No concern for new folks who are trying to learn more. Called owner multiple times with no response. Leaves an impression that this business has no regard in seeing a positive customer service to keep clients engaged and coming back. This place is surviving off folks who love yoga and appreciate the convenient location. This business is nothing special and it's owner does not value it's customers or growing a loyal custombase.

I've loved Gisella's classes since the old days on Harrison Street. Now Yoga Mayu lives on in a lovely studio on Potrero Hill. (Easy parking & mere feet to the 55 bus stop.) Yoga Mayu has always been known for the quality of its teachers. Gisella herself may well be my favorite teacher in my 20+ (...on and off....) years of practice. There's a focus to her classes that's very compelling. And her adjustments are magic--it's as if you can feel the proper alignment in her fingertips. Her classes are welcoming and suited to all levels. I couldn't be more delighted to have Yoga Mayu in the neighborhood. See you there.

Yoga Mayu is an absolute gem! This is the best yoga studio I have been to in San Francisco, and quite frankly, the only one I want to practice at.The space itself is clean, simple, and beautiful. The ambiance is calm, pleasant, and unpretentious. Every teacher at Yoga Mayu is well-qualified and experienced, and they each bring a different perspective and specialty to their classes. I've taken many different classes here, and continue to be impressed with the quality of teachers and collective knowledge and expertise at this studio.The classes are a great size (maybe 30 people at max capacity, usually less), which means you actually get personal attention from the teacher (not an assistant/other student) and the moderate class sizes allow each teacher to to get to know the students and actually help them continue to progress.This is also a great studio for beginners or those new to yoga as their Yoga 101 classes are very thoughtful and really establish a strong foundation.Yoga Mayu is an oasis, and a small, female-run local business which I am proud to support, especially given the exceptional quality of the services provided. If you haven't taken a class there yet, I highly recommend it!

I enjoyed coming here when living in Noe. Yoga Mayu has friendly staff who are skilled and ready to instruct or help when appropriate. I highly recommend trying an array of classes here as each instructor has their own style. While are of my experiences have been positive, this studio is not one kind of practice and each visit was a new experience. Instructors care and are constantly reviewing the audience and their own practice to know what new things they should bring.

Namaste Very intimate way of doing yoga and I honestly enjoyed every second of it. The classroom itself feels like your doing yoga in your own home. It's very cozy and warm lit up with only candles around the room. The community feels closer and connected together with every pose. The yoga instructor Michelle was so calm and collected. She made the class so welcoming with her ability to kindly teach you on the side with anyone who was struggling with a pose. She gave kind encouragements and empowered you to do more if your body was up for the challenge. Overall the yoga was so uplifting and I came out feeling so relaxed definitely coming here again!!

Well, you know me, I am picky about my yoga experience. With ClassPass, I decided to try this yoga gym in Noe Valley, SF. Noe Valley is a quaint part of town. I had to Lyft around. This one was worth it. Nicole led the group and she was very helpful and attentive. I am not perfect at yoga, but I like to perfect my yoga poses and routine. This one seemed to be for intermediate yoga practitioners and it's a serious group. She starts with some words and meditative practices and then it gets into an hour and fifteen minutes of yoga. It had a lot of variety and basics. I didn't know everything, but yoga routines are always gonna change. Nicole could help out because I looked like I needed it. We used various equipment for yoga like blanket, blocks, and sandbag. I didn't know if I could make it through the whole time, but I ended up okay. Yoga practitioners should always try to be encouraging, but you know me, I need special attention at times. This yoga gym is homey and comfortable. It is one room on one floor. I would try it with ClassPass. Noe Valley is cozy.
