Yoga Health Ctr

They seem to have great difficulty regulating the temperature, humidity, and air-flow in the small dark space. Many of the instructors recite the dialogue but fail to instruct to aid in advancing the postures of beginners. In an effort to keep the carpet cleaner longer (which does not work, by the way, the place smells like any other Bikram Studio) you are asked to turn away from the mirrors to stay on your mat during Standing Separate Leg Stretching, Triangle, and Standing Separate Leg Head to Knee. That probably does not matter since the lighting is so low you can hardly make out your own posture in the mirror. Also, there are no showers to wash the toxins off your sweaty skin after you have works a hard and hot 90 minutes to push the toxins out. So between the low light, inability to face the mirrors for the critical pose Trikanasana, uncontrolled temperature and humidity, and the lack for shower facilities I say DONT GO!

I've been going to Yoga Health Center for about 4 months. The studio is a bit small, but I think the teachers are great. Brad and Regina (the owner) are my favorites. They're constantly helping you with your form to make sure you're body is in proper alignment. I've found my practice improving more rapidly since I've gone to YHC then when I went to a different studio in SF. I also noticed their prices are cheaper than other studios in the area.

PROS: good teachers, reasonable prices
CONS: small studio
