The Golden Yoga Method

The Golden Yoga Method is a wonderful yoga studio. I have taken several different classes, but Melissa’s vinyasa flow class is my favorite. I really appreciate that she takes time each class to find out what we want to focus on that day and help gear our practice towards those areas. I have some old injuries from my former days as a gymnast and Melissa always provides me with alternatives if the poses are a bit too difficult for me.
As I said, the studio offers many different types of yoga classes, you chances are good that you will find something that works for you and your schedule.

I LOVE IT! I’ve been doing yoga here for a few months and they are so nice! I love the staff and it’s very clean too! Me being the germaphobe I am! I didn’t know I could do so much with my body and apparently I’m pretty flexible!

I have been to various yoga classes over the years and never stayed with it. Melissa is wonderful and the studio is so warm & inviting. I am getting stronger and more balanced as the weeks go on and hopefully I will add more classes to my practice. Thank you Melissa, for being there.

I love this studio! You always feel welcome and taken care of, it’s a great place to practice yoga.

I had been looking for a quality yoga studio in Novato that offered a power yoga class, so I was thrilled when this studio opened. Melissa greeted me with open arms for her am power yoga class. The studio is clean, welcoming, and warm– she uses an infrared heating system. The classes are aslo reasonably priced and she offers generous package deals.
Melissa is an outstanding yoga instructor– she had a strong focus on coordination of breath and movement, adapted her practice to her students’ needs, and was thoughtful in her sequence of postures. What impressed me most was the personal adjustments and feedback she gave throughout class. While we went through traditional sun salutations, she extended key postures to encourage greater depth and build strength.
I would love to see her studio thrive in our community– come check out Golden Yoga Method! Melissa can personalize the practice for all ages and abilities.

As someone who is very new to yoga, I was a little hesitant when I was invited to attend a class at Golden Yoga, but everything about the experience was absolutely great.
The studio was bright and spacious, so I felt like I had plenty of space to participate without crowding any of my neighbors. The entire atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming, so I was immediately put at ease.
Melissa and her instructors were excellent. They did a very good job helping to keep the newbies in the loop without boring the more experienced students in the class. Everyone I talked to was very pleased with the class, regardless of their age or experience level.
Overall I would highly recommend this place for anyone, first timer or experienced veteran.

What an amazing yoga studio! I have felt hard-​pressed to find a yoga home here in Novato and am so glad Melissa has opened The Golden Yoga Method!
From the very start Melissa and her other instructors have been nothing short of outstanding. I am more experienced and have loved her early morning class and evening vinyasa flow class, and my fiancé (who is just beginning) has felt totally comfortable at her Hatha Flow class.
I can’t speak to the Golden Yoga classes, but don’t write this studio off as only for the elderly! Her vinyasa classes definitely packs a punch, and will have you workin’ hard.
Come check these guys out — you will not be disappointed!
