our beginning
it all started in 2013...
My name is Rachel Rajput, and I founded Left Coast Power Yoga in 2013 to bring a challenging, heated Power Yoga studio to the Oakland community. We started in our original small space on Grand Avenue, which we still have open today. We expanded in 2019 to open our larger Laurel location, located near High Street and Macarthur Blvd.
At Left Coast, we are a beautiful community of misfits. Our community spans all sizes, shapes, colors, and genders.
We are working folks: 9 to 5-ers, self-employed peeps, techies, soccer moms, gig workers, waitresses, teachers, and just about everything else you can think of. We have one thing in common: we are lifelong learners of the yoga practice.
We have “followed our practice” and it has brought us here. Over the years, our community has grown exponentially and we now offer classes, workshops, retreats, and more. Starting in 2018, we also started offering our Yoga Teacher Training, which is thriving!
Try out a class and drop us a line…we love to hear your feedback!
