Stories from our community
Real experiences, real transformation. Hear from …. Left Coast Power Yoga!
The class was wonderful. It was very easy to follow along, the instructor Angela was amazing, supportive and knowledgeable, providing the perfect introduction in my opinion. She touched on both the physical and mental aspects of yoga practice, and I'm hooked.
This class taught me the importance of stretching, meditation, and core strength for overall well being, particularly as we get older. Thank you Left Coast!
The studio is a welcoming environment, the teachers are caring and top notch, the music always hits, and the community of students are down-to-earth and varied. All body types, ages, abilities and skill levels are welcome. They are always coming up with new and interesting classes while still maintaining their core integrity. They have great customer service if there ever is an issue. In a world of transactional, corporate gyms, Rachel has truly made an impactful yoga and wellness institution here in Oakland that is different from the rest, and I'm thankful for it!
Rachel the owner is inspiring and such a bright light of love. Thank you Left Coast!

Left Coast power yoga FAQs
Where are your two studio locations?
Our original Grand Lake studio is located at 3700-3704 Grand Ave, near Lake Merritt. Our second locations is in the Laurel District, at 4148 Macarthur Blvd, near High Street.
What’s with the floors?
We have found that wooden yoga studio floors are uncomfortable on the joints of the body, particularly the knees, thus we provide anti-microbial Zebra Mat floors in both of our locations. There is ½ inch of firm cushion under the knees, elbows at all times, plus the thickness of your Yoga Mat at all times.
What’s with the mirrors?
We hope that you practice at our yoga studio with us for a long time, and in order to do so, it’s important to practice with correct alignment. Since our number one priority is to keep students safe, we find that mirrors allow students to adjust their alignment based on the teacher’s cues throughout class.
What’s with the heat?
In yoga, a warm environment promotes detoxification and deeper release into the poses. Our gently heated classes are warmed to 85-90 degrees in our yoga studio and our unheated yoga classes are to 75 degrees. We do not offer “Hot” (i.e. hotter than 100 degrees) yoga classes.
Do you have showers?
We do not currently offer showers for student use.
Can I practice if I am pregnant?
Our Flow + Restore and Alignment Flow classes are great for pregnancy! We recommend not starting Power Yoga if you haven’t taken Power classes before. However, if you are used to the practice, please keep coming! Just drink more water, modify, and take breaks when needed. Folks who are pregnant should NOT practice in a super-heated yoga studio (100 degrees or more) but we have found that the 88-degree temp works fine for most of our pregnant yogis! Of course, we encourage you to listen to your body and what feels good to you.
What should I bring?
Just yourself, your mat, and your water bottle. At our yoga studio, we provide blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps. We also provide free filtered water. Please check our Studio Policies page for more details! We are street parking only so please allow yourself 10-15 extra minutes before class to park and check in!
