From the reviews

They've definitely gotten into the groove since taking over the space a few years ago...for me, the experience always starts with how I'm welcomed at reception...they're calm lovely helpful people. I also like that the owner is around and accessible.

So happy to see a new yoga studio coming to Mill Valley! The space is light and open, with incredible views of the water. The teacher lineup and class schedule seems to be expanding as fitness begins to open up. I’ve been to two classes with Dierdre, they were fantastic. Rigorous but easily modified.

★★★★★ — Alyson, Mar 2021

When it comes to yoga, The Studio is unmatched. Every time I walk in, I know I’ll leave feeling less stressed and more at peace. The teachers are just incredible, in and out of the studio.

★★★★★ — Isabelle, Jan 2025

I was so glad to be back in a yoga studio after the pandemic hiatus. The Studio in Mill Valley is beautiful, spacious, and clean. Early morning class with Lesley was perfectly-paced and completely comfortable to do with a mask on. It’s so good to see safe re-opening and a new place for community practice.

Teacher training at THE STUDIO | Yoga & Pilates

THE STUDIO | Yoga & Pilates 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 THE STUDIO | Yoga & Pilates

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, 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.
