Samyama Yoga Centre

Samyama is a beautiful modern state of the art yoga facility. Absolutely gorgeous and well laid-out, with a meditation room. But the highlight of the place is SHASTRI. Shastri teaches a traditional Indian style of yoga, an unforgettable experience! His positive energetic approach is very calming for a intense yoga practice. Yes class is intense, but Shastri is adept at giving modifications to beginners. I brought my sixteen year old daughter to my second class with Shastri, and she loved it. She attends class weekly!

Shastri's class at Samyama is one of my favorite ways to spend the evening. I've been attending his classes at the studio for some time now and cherish the way I feel after each session. Shastri's class is challenging and tests your endurance even if you are a regular yoga practitioner. I'm a yoga instructor and come here to deepen my practice with a more traditional teaching style. You don't need music in the class because the energy in the room just keeps you going. The all white beautiful room with a rain drop relief wall and changing color lights add fun to the experience. Shastri is very patient, calm and attentive encouraging every student to explore their practice and take it to a deeper level. I'm very happy to have found Shastri through my friend and mentor because my practice has gotten much better!

Full disclosure - I am a teacher and manager at Samyama. The experience has been one of the best in my life. Beautiful studio but more than that - a true community.

Incredible attention to detail! I am in ❤ with SYC. It feels like another world when you step through the door. Lovely Yoga room, beautiful lounge to hang out before/after practice. Showers too!

I don't know why I am asked as soon as I am on a site for my opinion. I think this is in Palo Alto and 1 and 1/2 hours away in good traffic. I'm not going there. Yoga is a beneficial practice in mindfulness and is not gym exercises.

When you first walk into the studio, it feels like heaven and when you walk out everything feels like heaven.

I love this studio and the yoga instructors for many reasons, several of which were listed by other reviewers. However, I cannot emphasize how amazing their business practices are-they go above and beyond for their clients. I hurt my back and have not been able to attend yoga classes. Maddy, the owner, was so concerned about my well-being the whole time we spoke. She extended my unlimited class-pass without hesitation, making sure that once I felt better I could make up the time I missed. As long as I live here this will be my yoga studio.

I absolutely love this studio. The instructors are always encouraging me to push myself, while being safe and mindful of my body's limits in a heated class. Classes either use naturall sun light or soft light floor lamps to create great atmosphere for your practice.
