I love this friendly neighborhood yoga studio. Unlike some other yoga spots in town, there's no pretense or rarefied vibe--just excellent teachers and a lot of different classes to choose from. I especially love Lyz Keating's Rocket Yoga classes, a fun take on the Ashtanga primary series. This is my go-to local studio!

Left Coast is a great yoga spot. The instructors are all great and they offer tons of classes to fit my ever changing schedule. If you love yoga and don't mind the warm (not hot) temperature, then you should definitely check this studio out.

Classes at Left Coast Power Yoga are transformative, thoughtful, and well-organized. All of the teachers are mindful of different abilities and body types, knowledgable about anatomy, safety, and yoga itself, and the studio just generally has a great vibe (both Grand and Laurel). I have been practicing yoga for years, and have taken a yoga teacher training program, and it was really interesting how many things finally clicked once I began practicing at Left Coast. The teachers are very skilled. Thank you!!

I am completely new to yoga, and decided to join the beginner series with my partner as an introduction - she's very experienced but this was my first class.

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!

I’ve checked out quite a few yoga studios in the area and after just one class here I was hooked. The studio is beautiful and clean, the community is welcoming, and the classes are challenging and inclusive! Def recommend practicing here!

I feel so lucky to have found this yoga studio! It has been my yoga home for almost two years now. Everyone is so friendly, the teachers are outstanding and I feel safe knowing that my teachers and studio also have similar social justice values, that are aligned with peace, racial justice and caring for humanity and everyone on our planet, regardless of what our government is doing.

I've gone to yoga classes at LCPY for over 10 years, and I'm always impressed by their ability to keep things new and fresh. I love that they introduce new teachers and new classes to the community. Most recently, I've enjoyed a sound bath, hot pilates and buti yoga at this location. Highly recommend that you keep an eye on their social media for new events and workshops. I visit the Laurel studio less frequently due to convenience, but free parking is relatively easy, and the front desk is always friendly and helpful!

I'm a huge fan of Left Coast Yoga. Aja Griffin's classes are my personal favorite as she offers numerous alternatives to suit all skill levels. (Especially helpful for a beginner like me.) But every instructor I've come across at Left Coast has been great. Highly recommended.

I've attended LCPY classes off and on for the last decade at both the Grand and Laurel (even previously downtown) studios, and online through the pandemic. At times when I have tried other yoga classes such as through rock climbing gyms or otherwise, I am reminded how special the LCPY studio and teachers are.
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!

From the minute we started with Webtec they have been excellent. Travis knowledge on building our website was second to none, how patient they were with our whole team was incredible, and the finish product is better than we could have asked for.

I totally recommend working with Sonny & Webtec. Very helpful staff, with management highly involved with supporting clients. Their web programmers were always on top of things and were very flexible with our requests and customization.

We are thrilled with our new site from Webtec. Edward had a great vision for taking our web presence to the next level and Sam was able to get it all done! Working with them was a pleasure. I highly recommend the team! Thank you!

Left Coast power yoga FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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.

We do not currently offer showers for student use.

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.

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!
