Yoga & Pilates for Every Body, Everyday.
We're thrilled you've made it here.
You might be thinking "I should start doing yoga or Pilates again". Or maybe you've heard it might be good for anxiety, or it could help you ease all the tension in your back and neck, but you've never tried it. You might have all kinds of nagging thoughts like "But what if I injure myself again?" or "What if they can't handle me and my ____?" or even worse, "What if I make a fool of myself?"
Yup. We've been there (sometimes we still even go there).
We don't fit into the Instagram/Facebook "perfect" yoga chick image either. The big box yoga studios around town just felt sort of cold and lonely. (And honestly, we kept hurting ourselves). Our gyms weren't cutting it - we always left feeling sort of malnourished and a bit beaten up afterwards.
From a place of necessity, we created Innerstellar.
Above all we value & cultivate:
A space where we could breathe easier. (Literally, because every one of our classes and private sessions starts with deep breathing.)
A space where we could be both serious and silly.
A space that is truly judgement-free and non-competitive, where the "advanced pose" is often easing up and not "leaning in".
A space where we could get stronger, more flexible and playful.
A place where we could learn how to feel more at home in our bodies.
A place where we could learn & practice the tools to break through our "not enough" stories and cultivate more ease & self care in our lives.
New to Innerstellar? Welcome!
When I moved to the area, I started taking yoga classes at a climbing gym. The classes were great, but all the gym accoutrement and noise were distracting. Then I found Innerstellar - what a delight. Every teacher is excellent. The classes are as challenging as you want them to be, because they offer options if you can't do the pose or match the pace. I go to both yoga and pilates mat classes 4-6 times/wk, and have lost a bunch of weight, regained my physical strength and greatly improved my balance.

We offer Yoga & Pilates for every age, fitness level and stage of life to meet your goals, needs and energy!
We suggest a One-on-One (or even a handful of them) if you're in a lot of pain right now, or if you feel deeply intimidated by group classes.
If you want to give our group classes a go, we recommend starting with our 60-minute Forrest Yoga Basics Level 1 classes, our Pilates Mixed Machine Level 1-2 or Pilates Mat All Levels. They'll give you a strong foundation for the rest of our offerings (and, ahem, the rest of your life).
If you're more athletic or already have some yoga experience, try our 75- or 90-minute Stellarflow or Forrest Yoga classes – you'll sweat, and be challenged in ways you haven't before. Like, feel your butt muscles burning type of challenge. And you'll start to peel away the layers so you can access the voice of your body and intuition – which is also the voice of your Spirit. (Your Spirit and your butt muscles are actually interrelated, but that's another story for another day.)
Try our New to One-on-One's 30-Day Special:
One-on-one sessions are BREAKTHROUGH territory. You'll benefit from four 100% customized Pilates or yoga practices with one of our warm and experienced Instructors, tailored to meet your unique needs, challenges and goals.

This studio changed my life!
At the time I started taking classes at Innerstellar, I had so much neck and back pain that I had to take off a few days of work a month. I tried yoga classes all over the Bay Area, but never found one that I liked. Within a few classes, my body felt better than it had in years. I absolutely love the feel of this studio and every instructor here. These classes are great for core strength, improving posture, fun inversions, and deep relaxation. Instructors ask at the beginning of class if anyone has any injuries and will help each student modify their practice accordingly.
