I have been practicing at Love Story Yoga for a few years now. They have good challenging, fast paced flows and great playlists. Some of the classes can get pretty packed, hot and sweaty, but there's something beautiful about moving together in the same space

My Love Story class left me with one of the most holistically complete body feelings afterwards. I found the experience challenging and engaging, in an energetic room filled with new comers and seasoned community members alike.If you’re looking to connect with a committed group, there’s no better place in SF!

Loved my experience at Love Story. I'm new to yoga and found the class I took welcoming and challenging. As a runner, I appreciate going to Love Story classes to dive deep into slower movements -- and I never stretch enough. Give this place a try. Its a lovely studio that manages to be a santuary in the heart of the bustles of the Mission

I love Love Story Yoga! Huge fan of the space, community, and the cleanliness of the shower and locker areas. The Bhakti classes are incredible. Highly recommended to newcomers and experienced practitioners alike.

Had a bit of a snag in setting up my wife and i’s class pass but it was admittedly complicated (didn’t want it to start until after Christmas) and apparently I was emailing an out of date address. Had Sarah reach out to help me fix the problem. She was super patient and supportive. The classes we’ve gone to have been well lead and fun.

extremely crowded, no ventilationI went for a class which filled to the brim, where mats were barely 2 inches apart from each other by the time class started. It was a normal non-hot yoga class, but the room was steaming within 10 minutes of class starting, and the temperature was way too high for what we signed up for. The ground was wet when I walked to get some water to drink, probably some combination of sweat and condensation. Would definitely not recommend. Try Haum instead

An Exhilarating Journey of Mind and Body with Paxtyn Montes at Love Story YogaStepping into Paxtyn Montes’s class at Love Story Yoga was nothing short of transformative. The 75-minute practice in the heart of Valencia/Mission District, San Francisco, was an exceptional blend of heat, rhythm, and soulful yoga.Paxtyn started us off with a harmonium-accompanied dharma talk and chant, setting a tone of introspection and community. The class then seamlessly transitioned into a warm-up, coupled with focused breathing exercises. But it was the long, single-side standing sequences that truly set the stage for a challenging yet rewarding experience. Paxtyn’s guidance through these sequences was a masterclass in itself - her unique instruction and variations brought a fresh perspective to poses I thought I knew well.The studio’s warmth intensified the experience, turning my yoga mat into an island amidst a sea of sweat, symbolizing the release of all that was weighing me down. Paxtyn’s class was more than just physical exertion; it was an energetic liberation, expelling bothersome thoughts and aligning me with the present moment.A word of advice for those who might struggle with background music - grab a spot towards the front to catch every word of Paxtyn’s clear instructions. And let’s not forget her singing - a voice so captivating it blends seamlessly into the class, enhancing the experience without overwhelming it. The music selection was spot-on, present yet unobtrusive, adding layers to our practice without stealing the spotlight.In short, a session with Paxtyn at Love Story Yoga is a must. It’s a journey of self-discovery, physical challenge, and mental release. I left feeling rejuvenated, and I’m already planning my next visit. Paxtyn Montes, you’ve earned a returning yogi in me!

I liked the classes I attended but they do get very crowded. The free lunch time yoga classes on Mondays are a nice addition.

A Standout Experience with Paxtyn Montes at Love Story Yoga Having frequented Love Story Yoga for years, I've experienced a myriad of classes and instructors. Yet, Paxtyn Montes's session was a revelation that stood out distinctly from the rest. The 75-minute heated practice began with a harmonium-accompanied dharma talk and chant, setting an introspective and communal atmosphere. Paxtyn's seamless transition from warm-up to focused breathing and into the long, single-side standing sequences was nothing short of magical. Her unique instruction breathed new life into familiar poses, offering variations that were both refreshing and challenging. The heat in the studio amplified the experience, transforming my yoga mat into a canvas of release and rejuvenation. Paxtyn's class transcended physical exercise; it was an energetic catharsis, clearing my mind of clutter and aligning me with the now. For those who find multitasking music and instructions challenging, a spot near the front will ensure you catch every word of Paxtyn's clear guidance. And it's worth mentioning her singing - a harmonious addition to the class, enhancing the ambiance without overpowering it. The music was subtle yet impactful, noticed only when it gently nudged you into deeper mindfulness. Paxtyn Montes's class at Love Story Yoga is a must-experience. It's not just a yoga session; it's a journey of self-exploration, physical challenge, and mental liberation. As someone who's seen many teachers come and go, I can confidently say that Love Story should be proud to have Paxtyn among their staff. She's a gem that makes an already fantastic studio shine even brighter. Count me in for more sessions with Paxtyn!
