From the reviews

Red Dragon is my favorite yoga studio in all of Marin. I love the community, the teachers, the amenities, the easy accessibility and efficient class-booking app, the variety of class times and types of practice offered. It is a yoga-home to me, and I hope you will find home here as well. ❤️🐉

I can’t say enough good things about Red Dragon Yoga Studio! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The studio is well maintained, with a perfect balance of calming aesthetics and functional space. One of the highlights of my experience here has been Heather.

★★★★★ — Steve, Jan 2025

I’ve been coming to Red Dragon Yoga for four years now, and it truly is the heart of the yoga community here. It is hands-down the best spot for hot yoga and hot pilates in Marin. What I love most is the variety—it’s not just Bikram; they have a fantastic range of hot yoga classes and high-energy hot pilates.

★★★★★ — Charlene, Mar 2026

The front desk folks are most welcoming and very helpful! The atmosphere overall is quite friendly and supportive. The instructors are VERY good. They set great moods for centering, they continue with cues to help one improve postures and the classes provide a wonderful whole body/mind experience. Namaste.

Teacher training at Red Dragon Yoga

Red Dragon 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 Red Dragon 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, 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 (or rent them here), 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.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
