From the reviews
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 recently started coming to this studio and I LOVE IT! For several years I didn't practice yoga because of chronic back pain. Back bends and spinal twists would flare up my nerve pain. When I came to Left Coast, yoga instructor Lyz Keating showed me how to adjust my poses so I wouldn't flare up my back and nerve pain.
I love this small neighborhood yoga studio for the quality of its teachers, the varied schedule, and the helpfulness of the support team. As an older yogi, I personally appreciate the Yoga for Longevity and Flow & Restore classes taught by Deb, an experienced (and very fun) teacher.
Joining this friendly local gym has been a happy addition to my routine. The schedule has plentiful offerings, and I love how varied and distinctive the classes are. I appreciate that the instructors ensure everyone is doing poses/exercises correctly and safely. Looking forward to going to many more!
Teacher training at Left Coast Power Yoga
Left Coast Power Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Left Coast Power Yoga
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated to around ~100°F, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes — there are showers on site; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
