With a prime SoMa location just a short walk from the Montgomery Bart station and classes throughout the day—including lunchtime—Satori Yoga Studio makes it easy to fit yoga into your busy schedule. A haven for those hoping to gain strength and mental clarity, this sun-filled studio welcomes students with gleaming hardwood floors and soothing pastel colors. Named for a Buddhist concept that means “the experience of enlightenment,” Satori Yoga Studio helps students seek total enlightenment or just a brief moment of awareness in challenging classes lead by knowledgeable instructors.

Vinyasa flow classes incorporate a series of poses linked to the rhythm of your breath; try a mellow flow class or an intense power flow class. Iyengar classes are based on the teachings of renowned yogi B.K.S. Iyengar and focus on alignment and accuracy within each pose to build flexibility and endurance. Prenatal yoga classes offer a safe and healthy way to get in touch with your body and your baby, along with a community of caring mothers-to-be. Satori also features a Pilates mat class focusing on core strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Beginners who may be intimidated by experienced yogis love Satori’s range of introductory classes: Yoga for Absolute Beginners, Beginner Iyengar, and Beginner Flow. Instructors build an understanding of yoga poses and terms, with individualized instruction. As part of the Green Yoga Association, Satori Yoga Studio is committed to maintaining an environmentally friendly studio that is also good for the soul. Don’t miss Satori’s free meditation sessions; students can also book an acupuncture treatment or post-workout massage.
