Today my friends and I had a private sound bath at YogaSukham. We had never been to a SB, but Satya and his wife put us at ease by explaining the different instruments used and what we might experience while hearing the sounds. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and relaxing. I know I’ll be sleeping well tonight.This is a great experience on your own or to share with friends and family!
The online sessions are well organized, allowing people with different levels of experience to participate and benefit from them. The instructions are detailed and help with the understanding of the mechanics of the various poses. I have enjoyed the practice very much ever since I joined!
Yoga Sukham is a great experience and a amazing studio that has helped me improve the health and fitness of my body. The instructors give precise instructions which make it easy to follow.Practicing yoga continuously has allowed my body to do difficult poses easily. This is due to the muscles of my body being trained into what action they have to do in each pose.
I have been practicing with Yogasukham for over a year and half. There dedication and attention to detail is something I have never seen before. They use the practice to educate and teach yogis how to best work with there strengths and build on them.Highly recommend whether online or in person.
So happy to have taken the step into YogaSukhamEach class is a journey, slow and study using muscle not momentum with the intention of taking your body where it will go on that day. Focused on proper alignment, stretching, twisting, and muscle building.Satya and Varsha use many props, which makes classes fun and at times very interesting.When I started at YogaSukham I went to the studio, then Covid hit, they quickly started offering zoom classes, they give detailed instruction, corrections of alignment, praise, and humor. They also have recorded classes, which is nice as sometimes my schedule does not work with class times.I wish I could tell the world much better I feel, I have never been flexible, but over time I am amazed at the difference in my body. I have gotten complements on my posture and asked what do you do? “Yoga” is the answer
I just completed forward fold class. It was amazing! The teachers and Yoga Sukham have really helped me over time to go slow and protect my back but get deeper and deeper without sacrificing the extension of the spine as I fold forward. This is so important. Go slow and be patient, follow the actions called out and you will get there. I have tight hamstrings especially since I got back to running, but I was able to go deeper today just by following the directions and going slow. Awesome class!
Today I attended the in person Rope workshop at YogaSukham. After a long Covid zoom classes this was a pleasant experience. It is the great way to find ease in the yoga poses with the rope support and see people around you enjoying the activity! The Chaturang dandasana, Purvauttansana and the Titanic pose (everybody’s favorite) were the highlights of the class. Relaxing neck with the rope support at the end followed by the Shavasana was very calming. I am Looking forward for the next one on October 17th.
YogaSukha classes are energising and fun. I also really like the meditation/prayer at the end, it leaves me feeling very relaxed and centered.
I have been a student of Yogasukham for the last 15 months. They have dedicated teachers, well planned programs and allow for students of all levels to practice at their pace/level. Regular students come from all over the Bay Area and as far as Toronto. I have really enjoyed learning from YS and it has helped me significantly in lowering my BP and has had a great help in my flexibility - which in turn has helped me reduce my golf handicap by three strokes. Would highly recommend them to anyone considering yoga.
I attended a private soundbath session with Satya. The experience was amazing!! First, from the very beginning, starting with booking the session, everything was perfect. The communication was great. Satya helped us understand every step of the way what to expect, what to bring, and was very straightforward about the entire experience, price, even potential concerns that may arise. His transparency and communication made us feel so comfortable and built immediate trust. The actual soundbath was like nothing Ive ever experienced. It was truly the most relaxing experience of my life. I believe everyone should experience this. If you havent tried it, please consider it! You wont regret it!
I can not say enough about YogaSukham. Satya and Varsha have created a truly special environment for their students. I have tried other Yoga studios and YogaSukham is by far my favorite. Satya and Varsha, as well as Lori and John, care so much about their students, paying special attention to their individual needs. I would often wake up with pain in my back, shoulder, neck, etc. Having attended these classes for the past couple of months, I am feeling so much better! My mobility has improved, my posture has improved (I feel like Ive grown two inches) and I feel a deeper connection to my body. I look forward to class and attend in person, however online classes and recorded classes are available as well.I attended my first Ropes Wall Workshop yesterday. While I had some initial apprehension, I left feeling great and amazed at what my body is capable of. Fun, hard work, great environment and tons of individual attention. I cant wait for the next one! I highly recommend YogaSukham!
When I joined Yogasukham, I was new to yoga. I have realized that I like doing yoga. Yogasukham is great as the teachers - Satya, Varsha, Lorey, John, Himani are all great and help us getting into asanas with ease. Also Yogasukham has different time slots everyday which helps me in attending the class almost daily. I have been attending the classes for a year and a half and I look forward to it everyday. Thanks Yogasukham 🙏
Love the place and the teaching....great teachers and awesome coaching...
Attended the Rope wall workshop today, what stuck me most was the ease of getting into usually difficult balancing poses with right correction in posture due to Rope wall. Would recommend all to try it out and experience for themselves.
This is my first venture into the world of yoga, and it has been a gratifying start. The sessions have helped create a space for mindful, neatly paced movements. As an athlete who has focused on raw strength, power and speed for endurance, I am appreciating the steadiness, mindfulness and awareness these sessions are helping create in my day to day actions.Also, as I continue to take the classes remotely (they have opened the studio for safe in-person sessions), there is still individual and detailed guidance given throughout to those online.
Yesterday I attended Rope wall workshop offered by Yoga Sukham. This was not my first time attending the Rope wall workshop. Every time I have learn something new about my own body which includes from letting go of my fear to engagement of my thigh muscles / quads pushing into foot in simple vrukshasana. Yesterday We tried couple of different poses which gave me maximum shoulder opening and my sides muscles got really long extensions. In daily Yoga practice we know which muscle needs to work but sometimes we overdo or under-do. Rope wall teaches you to be true to the action. I encourage everyone to try at least one workshop to get that true body experience. I bet you will attend many more just like me.
Now that we are able to attend in person classes and workshops, the Ropes Workshop is one you should sign up for! Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for many years, the ropes will give you a better understanding of the poses and it is FUN! I attended a workshop today and when I did Vrikshasana (Tree Pose) the support of the rope made me aware of keeping my hips level and shoulder and head aligned, without stress on my standing leg. Satya and Varsha are knowledgeable teachers who are able to give you individual attention in these workshops. The next Ropes Workshop is Sunday, October 17,2021, 2:00pm-4:00pm, please consider attending, you will be happy you did!
Love this place! The instructors are incredible and wonderfully encouraging. Also, great details to show different posses for every level. The studio is very clean and welcoming. Even the patrons are super friendly. They also provide an inexpensive trial offer , so you can try it out. Highly recommend.
Best Yoga studio in town, great instructors pay close attention to students for achieving the right forms with gental approach. Flexible schedule, great, clean and neat facility. Its not just the Yoga studio but wellness center with access to unlimited practice sessions to Yoga, Meditation, and many more.
YogaSukham is a great yoga studio. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly and compassionate. Every session makes me feel refreshed. Its helping me improve my focus. I look forward to it every single day. Im very glad I signed up for the classes here.
Warm, comfortable atmosphere. Leave class feeling peaceful and centered with a big smile on my face.
Beautiful new yoga studio that opened up this summer. Knowledgeable instructors with many different classes offered throughout the day. Iyengar-style yoga with the use of props to ensure proper and safe alignment. Also love the Meditation classes offered in the evening as well. Tons of free parking. I’m so happy this studio opened up in this area! All levels welcome 😊
I have been to many Yoga classes, but YogaSukham is the best. They not only focus on Yoga but on overall health and mental well being. I attended their mindful eating 101 class yesterday which was very informative. I would highly recommend everyone to join this wellness village:)
Joining here is the best decision I took in 2018. If you didnt join yet, you are missing out the best experience. Best and very professional instructors and cleanest studio. I Love it❤
The first time I attended a class here, I left thinking, Ahh, so THATS real yoga. This experience has been unlike any other I have had in my 15 years of practicing. It is traditional - or classical - yoga, and the practice has changed my outlook, attitude, physical/emotional/mental health. I am grateful.
Great place to learn and practice yoga. Satya and Varsha are amazing teachers, very supportive. They make sure you get a good workout while making it fun at the same time.
Signing up at YogaSukham has been one of the best decisions of my life. I joined here 2 months ago and have tried to be regular for their Yoga & Meditation sessions. The body & mind feels so much at peace after each session. Yoga has made me stronger and more flexible while the meditation sessions have helped me focus better and have better mind clarity. I sleep better as well! :-)The gurus (Jim, Satya, Varsha, Judy & Linda) at YogaSukham are experts in the area and are very compassionate, and take the time to explain how each pose help the body!I would highly recommend this place for anyone who would like peace with their mind & body!
They say that the Guru is relentless in the education of the disciple! We have been fortunate to have been involved in our continuous nurturing with Satya Vaidyanathan, as our former long distance running coach, and now as our Yoga guru.***The Teachers***Varsha Prakash and Satya Vaidyanathan are first and foremost loving and caring teachers. They have taken the philosophies of Patanjalis yoga sutras along with B.K.S.Iyengars techniques and created a curriculum, especially for the novices that are just starting the practice of yoga.***The Studio***In their studio, they have created a panorama of wholesome life experiences, starting with yoga asanas, dhyana (meditation), dhwani (music/sound baths - both Varsha and Satya are accomplished musicians) in addition to mindful eating and a focus on ones lifestyle. We have been fortunate to been invited to severa musical performances from visiting artists.The studio is very spacious for the practitioners and the atmosphere imbibes harmony and peace.***Connections Beyond***For Varsha Prakash and Satya Vaidyanathan, clearly this is not just a business but a way to spread healthy lifestyles among fellow yogis. They have always been available - checking on us when we have been absentees (😜), as well as hosting multiple classes keeping working parents flexibility in mind.We have loved expanding our learning at Yoga Sukham and would recommend this unique experience to everyone!
I have been a regular at Yogasukham for almost 1.5 years now. It is unlike any other yoga studio or practice I have ever experienced. And, I have tried many - including Bikram yoga, Hatha yoga & also a course in India! Though each one had its merits, Yogasukham offers a complete holistic experience. Even though it is a group class, the teachers give individualized attention. The studio offers more than just yoga. It offers meditation times, a unique “sound bath” experience, special yoga sessions with a rope wall, etc. It is about creating a healthy & caring community. The studio radiates calmness & a positive energy. Yoga has that effect on you! The owners, who also teach at the studio, are wonderful people & have surrounded themselves with teachers who go over & beyond to make each practice special. I have decided to be a member for life!
I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Satya and Varsha. They exert a lot of efforts to educate their yoga students about minute aspects of performing Yoga such that they get maximum benefits and gain expertise in a very fundamental way. I have been attending classes at Yogasukham for over 5 months after my doctor recommended that I join a Yoga studio to help me with my health issues. During my last visit to the doctor, he was surprised to see my progress.Thanks Satya and Varsha, I owe my health improvements to you!
They offer free meditation sessions on full moon days.
Very often the practice of Yoga is treated as a form physical exercise, but there is so much more richness to it that goes beyond obvious physical benefits, like self reflection, being present, improving your focus and concentration and being content in the moment. Very few yoga studios actually instill such thinking into the practiice and Yogasukham started by two amazing and inspiring practitioners Satya and Varsha, is one of those rare gems. All the instructors patiently guide you through each asana to become more aware of your alignment and action and be present in each pose. The weekend classes also include a 15 minute meditation to get the benefits of the practice. For anyone looking to find or gain more meaning, balance and wholeness in the practice of Yoga while building strength and flexibility, you should definitely try this place
Very knowledgeable and Caring teachers .Pay a lot of personal And attention to each student
I have been looking for a Yoga studio which teaches the real deal, where each of the asanas are done perfectly - so I can learn and do it for the rest of my life. I had attended many studios earlier where it was like tons of poses in a session, almost making it like an aerobics class and not the real Yoga. Also I feel if you have not learned it from a master at a young age - the nuances of each pose, what part to use and what to relax, how the breath should be, where the eyes should be ... all of them cannot be learned in a fast pace aerobics kind of way.YogaSukham is perfect ! Uses lots of props to help you get into the real asanas and develop your yoga skills at your own pace. What more they have a 6am class as well, which is perfect for me as most of my evening pledges go nowhere due to work, or just being guilty about not spending evening with my kids.And I just have my 11 year old start as well as I feel that is the best gift I can give him for his healthy life. He need not wait till his 40’s to get the real deal !!
I LOVE this yoga studio! Warm, inviting and friendly! Ive been coming here since they opened in June. I didnt think I was a yoga kind of person but I come here almost every day now which explains how much I enjoy doing yoga now. Just in two months I had already noticed how much better my posture is, I am able to sleep better, and how quickly I recover after my long runs. I usually go to the beginners class and really like how Satya teaches with very detailed instructions but also have tried most other teachers classes and they are all wonderful. They offer Iyangar style yoga which uses lot of props which enables students to get in to poses with ease minimizing the risk of injuries. I highly recommend this studio to all level of yogis
The best place to be for complete mind body wellness. I liked their concept of integrating each aspect of physical and mental well being be it yoga, meditation,mindful eating,music etc. all at one place.The ambience of the studio is very peaceful and happy. Yoga teachers are very encouraging and take you through the yoga poses step by step according to your ability. Extensive use of props in the Iyengar style of Yoga taught at Yogasukham, I found, is very helpful in attaining maximum benefit out of each pose.The meditation classes were a great experience with beautiful music playing in the background and candle light enhancing the whole process.Overall a wonderful place I would highly recommend.
So glad to have found YogaSukham! The owners Satya and Varsha are true yogis. They live the eight limbs of yoga including practicing yoga and meditation as a part of their lives. They are both spiritual, and I have been looking for a place to practice and discuss my spiritual side for some time now. They have classes early morning (6am) through late evening with well-trained, experienced, and kind teachers. The center offers classes in nutrition, coaching, voice, various instruments, and even dance! They also offer classes for kids and teens, which is much needed to help our young ones learn to slow down in today’s fast paced society. If you are looking for a place to try yoga as a beginner or expand your practice, this is the place!
I came to YogaSukam about 6 months ago, a little tentative, having had no prior experience or practice with yoga, and not wanting to get injured. What I came to appreciate most over the last 6 months is the high attention to detail the teachers spend helping each new person learn important fundamentals for both safety and effectiveness - breath, alignment, focus, and different levels of each pose for different abilities. I recently joined a new health club in the East Bay, and had planned to try to consolidate my yoga and exercise classes in one place for efficiency. It became clear to me after attending a yoga class at the new gym, that the classes at YogaSukam are very unique. The teacher quality is extremely high here, and it’s a place where I can learn yoga safely and progress at my own rate. I especially appreciate the level of integrity they demonstrate in all that they do. I highly recommend YogaSukam for people of all abilities, it’s a truly peaceful, inviting, and affordable place to learn and develop your own practice.
Excellent instruction in a relaxed setting
I Love YogaSukham, the instructors are phenomenal, as are my fellow students, and practicing traditional Kriya yoga is such a deep and inspiring way to honor yourself and your body.Reward yourself, you deserve it.With a heart full of gratitudeKen Royce
