Gaia Yoga

Katharine is an incredible teacher who brings a unique blend of elements to her classes. I adore the seamless flow of the sessions, which are enriched with pranayama exercises, soulful chanting, and profound insights into yoga philosophy. Each class feels like a holistic journey for the mind, body, and spirit.

Gaia Yoga is such a chill calming place. The teachers are all supportive and caring. I'm so thankful to have Gaia in my neighborhood!

Wonderful class. Martina paid attention to each member of the class and created a loving community for the time we were together. Highly recommend this locally women owned studio!!

I’ve been to Gaia yoga three times so far - once for Yin Restorative (focus on mindfulness and meditation), once for Gentle Flow (gentle stretching), and once for Hatha (core work). The instructors are kind. They encourage you to try new things but also are very understanding if you can’t do one of the poses. I am injured and was worried I wouldn’t make it through the class, but it was great.

I've been once so far and am really looking forward to being a regular. My instructor was the studio owner and she was very kind, welcoming and effective as an instructor. The environment is calm and welcoming and there is free convenient parking. Good vibes all around!

I will note that the classes (that I've attended) aren't particularly challenging which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you're looking for. If you're looking for power yoga, something that gets your heart rate up or has you working on arm balances and inversions, you probably want to go with another studio. But if you're looking for a beginner to intermediate level yoga where you can stretch and center yourself, this is a lovely place to do that.

Such a great and convenient location. The room is very clean, cozy and warmth. I love Martina and Mia. They are amazing.

Gaia is my favorite yoga studio in the bay area. I always feel like I'm coming home whenever I go to a class. Each class is very connected ot the traditional essence of yoga vs. the westernized version that we can come across so often. The space is beautiful, serene, simple and elegant. All the instructors are wonderful but I have to give a few special shoutouts: to Grace, for being my favorite instructor (like ever) and always holding such a grounded, flowing practice. To Kippy, for being the first instructor I experienced at Gaia and having the best Hatha flows! And to Martina for creating such a lovely community through this beautiful studio and sharing your heart with the world. Love this place and its people.

The instructors at Gaia are amazing. They have been my saving grace during the pandemic and know how to offer an excellent yoga class virtually. I know this requires more time and energy to set up Zoom and get us into the class. I appreciate that extra care and the attention we get in the virtual setting. They still know what my body needs even without me in the "room."

There are so many ways to do yoga these days, so why go to a studio? Step one foot into Gaia Yoga and you'll have your answer.

What a beautiful, serene location. Not only is the studio full of amazing energy, but also an amazing community of yogis!

Martina, the studio's owner, has one of the warmest hearts I know. It is evident her beauty and grace is abundantly shared with anyone that comes in for a class, whatever your yoga goals may be. I would highly recommend Gaia yoga whether you are a beginner or a pro.

The teachers at Gaia Yoga are really amazing people and are also very knowledgeable about the body, the yoga practice, and so much more. The owner Martina Chavez is also an advocate for social justice and understands how important it is to dismantle systemic racsim. She leads the conversation with all at her studio, students and teachers alike.

Among the various teachers, the instruction is consistent and well communicated, both in studio and in the remote on-line classes. It was not difficult for a relative beginner like me to catch-on and immediately benefit.

I absolutely love Gaia Yoga! I always leave feeling grounded, loved, challenged - and supported to leave it ALL on the mat! It’s a welcoming community that embraces everyone and wherever you are in your yoga journey.

Kippy always pays close attention to all parts of the body with breathing and stretching, which always heal my different aches and pains. She also has a well planned out lesson with a continuous flow of movements. I always enjoy Kippy's lessons and truly hope that she will continue these 3 a week Gentle Classes. Pam

I always enjoy the flow and workout that Kippy provides each and every class she teaches. Pam 6/5/2021

I feel so comfortable at Gaia Yoga. I’m very beginner-ish and I always feel as important as the pros. It’s a special place.

Gaia yoga is great! Caring instructors with a lot of experience and knowledge.

Such a sweet studio. The teachers are wonderful, and the space has a lot of character and charm. A local gym!

I have been going to Gaia Yoga since May 2018. I have never felt better.

Everything was great. Teacher, vibe, Studio, sequence. I appreciated the entire situation.

Great place... Different teachers, different styles, something for everybody, can recommend all of them!

Loving Gaia Yoga! So glad I discovered this place!
