Almaden Yoga is my "home" yoga studio. If I'm in The Bay, this is the only studio I go to. I've been practicing for about 6 years at this point so I'm intermediate/advanced in terms of strength, but more beginner/intermediate in terms of flexibility. I'm a weekend warrior, and generally only go to Power Yoga classes, doing a mix of yoga/Pilates/calisthenics throughout the week at home, which I find helps support my practice.

This review is for Talita Sozkesen's excellent prenatal yoga class. It's a must-do if you live in the area. Talita is so skilled, kind, and helpful. She offers great movement advice, tons of modifications for all pregnancy-related needs, and creates such a warm and calm atmosphere. Her classes are often packed and it's obvious why.

You'll be going back!
