Divine Essence Yoga

today was my first yoga class and was extremely impressed. the class was small, making it very intimate.
danae is a great instructor. she corrected poses when needed, gave alternates to poses (in case you couldn’t fully do a pose), and has a calming presence.
i came out of the class feeling calm and rested.

Divine Essence is a studio I look forward to practicing in. The space is perfect for intimate yoga classes and has the ambiance to match. Props are available and useful, as is the ability to adjust the lights to fit the class.
I recommend Divine Essence to friends, and I suggest you check it out as well.
Great donation based yoga in the city.

I’ve found this wonderful place because about 10 months ago because a friend suggested it. I love that the classes are donation based but I always find myself donating what I can. I generally head to the Tuesday class but have hit a few of the different instructors who are all wonderful teachers. There are free mats to use in case you forget yours and they provide blocks and straps. There is so much free parking right on the street that I’ve never had a problem parking within 10 yards of the door. The only problem is if you are trying to get there via public transportation, it can be a bit rough.
I highly recommend checking out this studio for yourself and seeing what you think. It’s a great little space that is often overlooked. If you like somewhere that is more quiet, not as busy but has some great instructors go to this studio.

Wonderful resource for yoga in Potrero Hill. The studio has a nice, small, safe, comfortable feel. The instructors are knowledgeable, caring and non-​judgmental. All classes are provided by donation; no one is turned away for lack of funds; just put whatever you feel to give in the donation box, no one is looking or counting. Parking on the street is easy and plentiful. Regardless of your level of experience you’ll leave the studio with an increased awareness of balance, strength and flexibility, for your body, mind and spirit.

I can’t say enough good things about this little studio on Potrero Hill. It’s the perfect place for practicing mindfulness yoga… great instructors and no feeling that you have to compete with other students. You feel so good after the class and you can’t wait to go back! I’m pretty new to yoga so I tried many other studios and this one was the perfect fit for me but other students have much more experience and they love it too! It’s donation based so what a deal… come and check it out!

Nice to have a local yoga studio that is comfortable and affordable. I thoroughly enjoyed my class.

One does not even have to speak to an Instructor in person to receive their teachings, just to be in their presence is a profound, transforming and uplifting experience in itself. There is a light atmosphere and authenticity devoted in hatha yoga here. Smiles, practice and namaste are common expressions. I was looking for an environment for silent space to practice my poses and this was the practical space. Divine Essences’ guru-​like teachers and subtle harmony of bringing prana where breath is needed, which is essential to yogi’s & yonigi’s. There is no sense of following anyone accept the voice of the instructor and the only real challenge is the limit that stalls the range of motion. I felt connection in the class’ and tangible atmosphere of peace, listening in blissful absorption to the words which poured from the masters lips. Teachers have skills that make the session fun and guide the students individually during class. With quality and a price, compared to above the norm surrounding studios with a catch, practices here is an ideal space for a community rather then a gym membership.
