Corner of Broadway and 17th Street, Downtown Oakland
Across the street from the south entrance of the 19th Street BART Station and AC Transit
Enter through the door at the street and come on up to the third floor.
Our former address was, 455 17th Street, 3rd Floor. We have not moved but the entrance has! Our building is on 17th Street between Broadway and Telegraph, occupying the entire short block. Our entrance was on 17th Street but is now found on the Broadway side of the building.
We have two, beautiful, recently-remodeled sunny studios. The studios both have huge windows on two sides, the original wood floors, refinished, and 15 foot ceilings. We have dressing rooms and a restroom but no shower. We do not offer ‘hot yoga’, we aim to keep our studios at ‘room temperature’ with our ceiling fans, operable windows and central heat. Note, this is a 3rd floor walk-up.
Bring your own water bottle, we have filtered water available.
Mats, blankets, blocks, straps, bolsters and sandbags are available to borrow.
Shiatsu mats and face cradles are provided for bodywork, please bring an extra tshirt or empty pillow case to put under your face.
Cycling
Bring a very good lock if you’re cycling, absolutely no bikes allowed in the studio or stairwell. There are bike racks available at the street level

Parking
Located in the heart of Downtown Oakland, parking requires some consideration, if you are new to the studio, allow yourself extra time to find parking. Students who come on a regular basis do find that parking is not a big issue once they figure out their favorite streets to park on. Do read our suggestions below and use the map below to see the referenced streets.
Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
The most reliable parking is the lot on the corner of San Pablo and 18th St. Parking in this lot can be paid for with a credit card for a maximum of 4 hours at the city’s rate of $2/hr. Note: payment is required for parking in this lot until 9pm, if you’re coming in the evening, simply park on the street. This is one long block and one short block away from the studio. 18th Street is a one way east bound street, access to the lot is possible when coming from the west.
There is often parking on 18th St. between San Pablo and Telegraph. This is $2/hr, 2 hour maximum, payable with a credit card. Note: this is a one way, east bound street.
There is often parking on 17th St. between Franklin and Webster. This is $2/hr, 2 hour maximum, payable with a credit card. Note: this is a one way, east bound street.
There is plenty of other parking in the neighborhood but some of it is 1 hour (not enough time for a 1 hour class) and some of it requires that you have lots of quarters on hand.
Before 8:00 a.m., after 6:00pm and all day on Sundays
Free parking on the street, of course?
Saturdays
Free parking on Saturdays and Sundays at the city parking garage on Clay at 15th street, be sure to check the hours, it gets locked up at night.
Pay for metered parking with Parkmobile
Parkmobile allows you to pay for metered parking using your phone — quick & easy, and you’ll receive a text reminder 15 minutes before your parking expires. Please note, all City of Oakland parking regulations still apply (for example, although one can add an additional hour to a one-hour spot, there is a risk of being ticketed for exceeding the one hour limit, as is the case with coin & pay-by-credit-card meters), and Parkmobile charges a $0.35 transaction fee in addition to City of Oakland hourly parking rates.
