Yoga Fusion

Tried the new Yin class Tuesday at noon taught by Carolyn. I loved it.
I felt great stretching followed by a relaxing counter stretch. I can’t wait to see what we do next week. The class flew by. It was a wonderful way to spend a rainy Tuesday.

I’ve attended Greg’s Sunday morning class for a few years now, and it’s been great to see his style continually evolve and improve. It’s obvious he’s found his raison d’être and is earnestly dedicated to providing the best environment possible for his students to learn and grow. Greg is a fun, passionate teacher who ensures a lighthearted atmosphere is maintained via a peppering of dry «yoga jokes» and goofy quips. Offering a ramped warm up, mild and spicy pose options, and a ramped cool down — his class has it all. What a great way to kick off your Sunday morning.
Additionally, i’ve got to tip my hat to his business acumen — he seems to know how to run a business. Everyone feels like they’re at home at his establishment, and he offers a wide range of additional classes and programs — from weekend retreats, to restorative classes, to some ominous sounding tank therapy’s held at his cottage (firmly out of my comfort zone).

Love this place, all teachers are great! Plenty of class times, great atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed.

The instructor (s) were both very friendly. I personally was looking for a more relaxing yoga experience– spa music, warm studio, relaxing smells versus a friendly talkative practice with non-​vocal jazz. As a one room studio, the front and rear doors were opened during class to allow a cool breeze through; unfortunately, this didn’t help my muscles loosen up, so I had a very stiff practice– unable to deepen my srretch because my muscles never really got warm. The studio is nice and clean. The other yogis were friendly. I appreciated the diversity– male/​female, age, ethnicity and body shape.

I have to say I love this place, the instructors are good. So far I only joined two classes for stretch and relax, but I know I will stick with it for my weekdays yoga practices. It does help me to clear up my mind and relax my body from work!

I just started yoga after completing my final reconstructive surgery for breast cancer starting with the Groupon deal of $ 29 a month. To say that I love this place is an understatement. So far I have taken classes with Nicole and Gloria and I leave transformed with an inner peace and happiness. The bonus is that I’ve been taking the classes with my college age daughter who was home for the summer. She’s hooked too and is incorporating yoga into her daily routine in college. A must for any stressed out college student! So grateful to have found Yoga Fusion.

I have only been to one class so far, but the environment was very welcoming and the co-​owner Gloria is very sweet! I’ve taken a yoga class in school and wanted to try yoga again for exercise and to practice relaxation. I absolutely loved practicing yoga in Gloria’s class and felt so calm yet challenged. It started my day with positive energy and put a big smile on my face! I look forward to trying the other classes with my Groupon of 10 classes for $ 29; its a great deal for this quality yoga!

Attention all yogis! As a beginner at yoga, I went to Greg’s class years ago before he started yoga fusion. I was pleasantly surprised at the varied levels that were present. Everyone is there, going at their own pace, and doing what is comfortable for their body. I love Greg’s style because he incorporates a sense of humor, in a comedic way, into his style. There is always a joke to chuckle at while also feeling very ‘zen’ and relaxed. He will also push you to try things you never thought you could do, highly increasing your flexibility. He and all the staff are highly trained and very helpful. I highly recommend the Yoga Fusion!

Yoga fusion is my second home these days. :) I have been truly enjoying practicing at this beautiful space for over a year now and truly feel that the practice has transformed my body. My body feels lot more flexible n stronger. My aches and pains are better especially my sciatica pain.
Thank you to all the lovely teachers as they have helped me a great deal. Namaste.

Practicing yoga improves your life. Practicing yoga at the Yoga Fusion studio makes it
AMAZING. The owners have created a space where everyone of any level and budget can practice yoga. I love that I can find a class that suits my practice everyday of the week. The fact that I am paying once a month to attend once a day at a price that is fair is just awesome. I love this place and adore the teachers, who are kind and gentle. I have attended a few other studios but none compare to Yoga Fusion.

I have been attending classes here for about 6 months, and I love it.
I started with the Groupon deal for 15 classes. It was a great deal! Yoga is one of those things that takes some time to 1) get used to and 2) see results. So a 15 class package was perfect to accomplish those two things.
I now regularly attend Pravina’s Dynamics of Core Yoga class on Wednesday mornings and Gloria’s Yoga Levels 1 – 3 on Thursdays. They are very different classes, and both are very good classes. I liked it enough to sign up for unlimited classes every month.
If you’re in the Tri-​valley, I encourage you to try Yoga Fusion. It is a small business with attention to those who go. I used to have sciatic nerve pain, lower back pain and plantar issues. The later two issues are gone for now, and my sciatic nerve pain still makes an appearance at times, but regular classes here have kept it to a minimum and I find that doing extra stretches at home nips it in the butt. It’s not a quick fix like pain killers, but it’s much better for you. Give them a try!

I am happy to say that after a long week of traveling out of state and several airport stops, it was so good to get back on schedule and enjoy a relaxing yoga class with Amelia Diaz Andaleon at The Yoga Fusion! She has a soothing way to set you mind, body and spirit at total ease and relaxation! All that travel tension we all carry home with us just melted away! Thank you for helping me to return to a refreshed state of mind and much more limber moving body! The yoga Fusion has several classes that I enjoy and it fits to my schedule for every changing week.

Simply the best studio in the area. I always feel a different person upon leaving the studio. Gloria is a powerful yoga teacher, blending in her own «reveals» and humbling the yoga experience, yet pushing you to master what your body can. Easy and free parking is great. Classes are filled up so come on early to secure real estate for your mat, but this speaks to the quality of the teaching. This is not at all an intimidating place so everyone at any level is welcome. Lots of opportunities for fun workshops at great prices.

Yoga Fusion is the first yoga studio I have liked well enough to join, and in fact I have so admired the teaching and welcoming atmosphere that I have begun strongly recommending that the new families I work with sign up for prenatal and post-​partum classes.
My 13 year old daughter and I especially enjoy Loan’s strength classes when we want to sweat, Jim’s classes when we want to chill and stretch, Praveena’s classe when we want depth and restoration and Greg’s classes when we want a little bit of everything served with a healthy dose of humor. And Amelia! She’s uh mazing but expect to feel it the next day! There isn’t a class or instructor I would not recommend.
ETA: Wow, I had not read the other reviews before posting mine but I regularly see women of color in class and have never felt anything but welcomed. If anything I have felt very appreciative of the different body types and abilities I see. I’m sorry for those other experiences but could not disagree more.

1 star because there is some real talent teaching here.
The co-​owner of this studio is an asshole. I’ve never met this person yet I’m the target of his discrimination. I’m new to the area and have not yet found a a babysitter. I purchased the new student special of $ 29.00/mo unlimited yoga. I liked the studio as well as the teachers I practiced with. Three teachers understood and welcomed my 8 year old daughter in the studio whereas she sat quietly in another room doing her homework.
The next thing I know, I’m getting a nasty email from someone named Gregg (again I never met him) about my over stepping boundaries etc. What? Caitlyn was there three times only. If Loan had an issue why not come to me directly? That is the respectful thing to do.
I did respond to the email explaining basically what I just wrote. I also contacted Loan expressing my sadness at being treated so disrespectfully asking her to please talk to me.
Since Thursday, I’ve gotten no response from Loan, Gregg has banned me from his studio (I guess being a single aunt and on a teachers salary makes me scum), I’ve asked for clarification but am not getting any, and another teacher welcomed my daughter and I to her class with open arms. What is going on???
My guess is that I don’t have a diamond the size of Texas on my finger or that I tried (heaven forbid) to open lines of communication.
To add insult to injury, the teachers I started a FB friendship with jumped on the bandwagon too. They clicked the mouse and away the connection went.
I’ve been practicing ten years and at studios in San Mateo County, all of which would never treat people like this.
In addition, I attended classes at Yoga Fusion whereas, other kids were there. So, why am I the target. We only just moved here on 12÷30÷14.
Its hard to express what I feel right now… anger…sadness…disappointment…surprise…confusion…
Not at all what I should feel from a yoga studio.
Update: just received a call from the owner asking me to take this down. Threatening me with karma and negative energy. Still refusing to give a clear explanation of why I was thrown out to the trash. She was patronizing and said my being there made students uncomfortable. How??? I just did the class and left!
Its not very yoga like to judge nor to ban someone based upon bullshit.
I’m not going to take this off… especially after being treated like such trash.
They can take their superiority complex and choke on it.

When I first moved to San Ramon, I tried my first yoga class and did one of those one week trials. I never went back after trying different instructors and classes all week. Yoga was intimidating and the teachers were intimidating and the people were intimidating-​not a good combination. Flash forward four years and I’ve moved out of San Ramon and back. I drove past The Yoga Fusion on my way to the gym for months, and finally I was curious/​brave enough to to try the unlimited one month of classes.
None of the snobby, unless you’re dressed head to toe in Lululemon you don’t exist attitude existed. Loan was warm, friendly, patient, and accessible. Her flow class was challenging, but I didn’t feel like a complete idiot not being able to do most of the poses. She interspersed the asana names with understandable English and provided simple and clear explanations.
Greg is amazing-​funny, down to earth, and humble. He’s none of the negative stereotypical things you think of when you think yoga instructor. His classes are light hearted, entertaining, and mixed with lots of mild/​medium/​spicy options for everything (and he’s always quick to gently encourage you to pick another option if you’re over or under ambitious). What I love most about his classes is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. There’s no pretentiousness, and being the most bendy or the strongest really doesn’t matter. He’s probably the main reason why I fell in love with yoga.
Gloria is full of warmth, compassion, and knowledge. I’ve learned so much about not just the practice of yoga, but about myself and life in general from her. I always walk away from her classes with something to think about and feeling inspired. Her Saturday morning classes are a fantastic way to start my weekend.
I’ve had classes with other instructors, and in general, they’re all friendly and personable. You’re an actual person in class, regardless of skill level. This is my yoga home, and I can’t imagine a better studio.

Some background on my life first… I recently moved back home with my parents (which I wasn’t super thrilled about but hey, it saves money right?). I was in search of a local yoga studio because I practice everyday and I was getting free yoga where I used to work, so not doing yoga is weird for me. Anyway… I decided to go studio hopping and hit up all the new student specials. After some research, I wanted to go to The Yoga Fusion first because of the marvelous reviews it got on help and the amazing $ 30 unlimited for a month deal. Amazing! So I started three weeks ago.
I fell in love with the studio, the teachers, the people, the atmosphere. I obviously won’t be studio hopping because I feel like I am at home here. The classes are amazing and I love them. I go five times a week and tried a variety of classes.
I have taken classes with: Greg, Gloria, Bliss, Jim, Jaime, Jody, and Eileen. The Yoga Fusion has a variety of classes so if you are just starting to a level 1 249 572, you will find something for you. Jody’s classes are amazing when I want something more relaxing and stretch. I take her classes when I want a «rest day». Eileen and Bliss are both amazing teachers and I find that they challenge me (in such a good way). I get the most out of Greg and Gloria’s classes. I really connect with what they say, they are so kind and genuine people, and they give you the opportunity to challenge yourself when you want to. I love that their practice is serious but also playful! Overall, the instructors here are absolutely amazing. I love them all.
The studio provides you with all the equipment you need from yoga mats, to bolsters, to blankets, to sandbags. Amazing! I have never been to a class that used so much props and they really help in my practice.
I have been to so many different classes in many places and this is definitely my favorite place. I think I might stay at my parents house for a little while after all. (:
P. S. Also, congratulations to the Yoga Fusion for getting Best of the East Bay three years in a row!!!

I believe Greg may be one of the best yoga teachers in the area. He offers a comical yet relaxing yoga.
I have taken classes with four different instructors (i.e. Greg, Praveena, Sujatha, and Jamie). My experience has been very positive with all of them. They all took note of my name and addressed me during my first class. I love that each class varies and they aren’t bound by routines like Bikram or Ashtanga. I love that this yoga studio offers and embraces the use of props!
I actually recognized Jamie from Get Fit Yoga in Dublin. He teaches Power Yoga at Yoga Fusion, however, it is the same Ashtanga series at Get Fit. This class series is way better at Yoga Fusion however because there are a lot more props to help you reach your potential.
I’ve been on a search for a yoga studio for a year now. I think I finally found my place. Too bad I will be moving to Berkeley come June. I will miss this studio.

I was inspired to write this review after taking a 4 week vacation, and when I returned to Yoga Fusion, I was greeted by my name… and with a hug!
I started praciticing yoga 2+ years ago and this place is top notch. There is a wide range of instructors & classes — from Vinyasa to Power to Yin to Restorative to Meditation. On top of class and teacher variety, they also offer a plethora of workshops: Acroyoga, Partner Yoga, Ropes Wall, Meditation, Prenatal, Yoga for Kids, etc!
Gloria and Greg co-​own the place and are rock solid individuals and teachers. Greg must be a comedian on the side and his class is infused with comedy. Gloria tries to better your yoga as well as your health and mindset.
My favorite teacher is Loan — she is sweet, soft spoken and makes lot of adjustments (with permission of course) as she courses through the room. She is so graceful and makes all the poses (even the hardest ones) look easy.
They have a great new power class with Jamie — I wish they could have him more often!
I’m so thankful I found this place! I LOVE IT HERE!

I recently took a 2 hour Rope Walls Workshop with Andrea. She’s a wonderful instructor and very tentative to each student. Andrea demonstrates each pose before the students go on the ropes and makes sure that we’re all doing it safely. She also makes it so much fun! The workshop is $ 20 but if you sign up for 2 workshops, it’s $ 35. I will be back in another week for more rope walls!
I didn’t mention this is my last review, but Yoga Fusion is the one studio that I found in the East Bay that has the most yoga classes, most varieties of classes with incredible instructors and also a great scheduling of the classes. Sometimes it’s difficult to get to a class you want at other studios bc it’s during a strange time or during normal working hours… but YF has so many classes and different times that you’ll definitely find something for you. Highly recommend for all ages (I think they also have classes for kids) and levels!
