New Mission Yoga Customer Reviews

Love this place! The vibe, the teachers, the lighting, the music… it’s SO worth the commute. I live in SSF and drive in a few days a week because it fills my cup in so many ways.

I’m so happy to have found community here. Alyssa, Steve 23, Terrell and all the teachers create such vibes that make this place alive before, during and after class. If you want to sweat, stretch, dance, breathe-there is something for everybody here. I love that their schedule is so accommodating with early, midday and late day classes. There are also offerings you won’t find anywhere these.

Amazing, inspiring space! The owner, Steve, and the community of teachers is so welcoming. Terrell’s Hot Pilates class is killer. I will definitely be coming back!!

This was my third time at New Mission Yoga, and I’m honestly hooked! Both Steve and Alyssa are so welcoming and amazing. They’re super knowledgeable, encouraging, and they make you feel comfortable no matter what level you’re at.
The space is beautiful, bright, and super clean. It feels like a little escape from the outside world.
After just three classes, I already feel more flexible, stronger, and way less stressed. Can’t wait to keep coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great yoga spot!

New Mission Yoga is so great! We did a Hot Yoga 60 minute class with Steve23 and I really enjoyed the class. The pricing was very affordable and everything about the class made me feel welcome. Will come back!

New Mission Yoga is such a wonderful space to connect with your body and release tension and stagnation. The teachers including Steve, Terrel and Alyssa are amazing. I would recommend this studio to anyone who enjoys hot yoga.

The studio is such a vibe and Great energy. You feel and see that immediately as you step in. Each corner has a story and uniqueness. The owner Steve was super friendly and welcoming 🙏
Not to mention the music was amazing and definitely gets the energy up and going. Looking forward to the next time I'm back in the city to come here.

My first time visiting New Mission Yoga was for a special event. It was a very beautiful indigenous ceremony. The studio was a very good venue for such a special occasion. The front lounge area is very comfortable with seating for multiple people. The studio was clean, spacious and I love the decor. I met the owner of the studio, Steve. He is friendly and interesting. I would return for more experiences of this unique venue and their open minded approach to yoga and plant medicine.

From the moment my partner and I stepped into New Mission Yoga, we felt our nervous systems exhale. The space is lush and cozy—filled with beautiful indoor plants, comfy lounge furniture, and a calming warmth that makes you feel immediately at home. We got to enjoy a cup of tea at the most stunning, one-of-a-kind single burl wood table, and every detail just felt so thoughtfully curated.

Between the yoga and meditation offerings, my body felt deeply held and nourished. It’s clear that this is more than just a studio—it’s a place for healing. The only thing that felt missing was the ability to receive bodywork onsite… but based on my conversation with the owner, Steve 23, it sounds like that may be coming soon, which is SO exciting.

Speaking of Steve—what an absolute gem of a human. Kind, generous, grounded, and so easy to connect with. He and the rest of the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. There’s a real sense of community here, and it’s especially gratifying to be guided by such skilled yoga practitioners who are also people of color. That felt especially meaningful.

Amid the hustle and noise of San Francisco’s Mission District, this space is a true oasis. I’m already looking forward to returning and attending more events soon. I was especially excited to learn that they’re hosting gatherings with Indigenous Amazonian traditional wisdom keepers to share traditional healing practices—something that feels incredibly aligned with my own journey.

This place is the real deal. Highly recommend.

Been to this studio twice and have had two very challenging, wholesome and unique experiences with 26&2 and Hot Pilates. I like that this yoga studio stands out from the sea of minimalist, white-walled studios ubiquitous across the country. Really adds to the heart & soul of the Mission District.

Just joined! Tried Yin yoga and 60 min hot yoga. Felt very welcomed. Love the slow meditative experience with Yin and Steve is an excellent instructor for Hot Yoga. So many great folks! Thanks for the warm welcome 🙂

First time attendee. Obviously, you get incredibly sweaty. Be prepared for a very hard workout in general. The heat adds to the difficulty. The instructors are very good at leading the class and making the transition between movements mindless, in a good way. A great opportunity to work the psychological facet of a workout in that you really have to push yourself to keep going. Overall, great experience! Definitely bring a towel!

I just had my first hot class after a 3 year yoga hiatus at new mission yoga. My first interaction was with a sweet little pupper lounging at the entrance, which set such a nice vibe. This studio felt welcoming, positive and clean. I'm excited to restart my practice at this studio. Thank you Steve !

This studio is amazing! The instructors are so fun, kind, and attentive. They are so welcoming and have different classes for different levels of experience. There are different classes like hot yoga, hot pilates, dance, and more. I 10/10 recommend signing up for a membership! You won’t regret it.

I just attended a sound healing workshop at New Mission Yoga, and it was such an incredible experience! This was my second event here, and every time, I leave feeling amazed. The instructors were so knowledgeable and welcoming, guiding us through different instruments like crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, flutes, and gongs, and many others. Getting to create our own sound healing session at the end was so much fun and made the whole experience even more interactive and personal. The studio has such a positive energy, making it easy to relax and fully immerse in the practice. If you're looking for a new and unique experiences with a supportive community, I recommend checking out their events and classes!

I was looking mainly for the bikram style hot yoga (26 postures) because it’s the style I have found to be most beneficial for me. It’s not as easy to find as it was when it was super trendy so I appreciate studios that have adapted and continue to offer this style. The space is large and has plenty of seating for hanging out before and after class. There are free lockers for valuables. The yoga room is HOT; feels perfectly heated. My favorite thing is the vibe—takes me back to 90s San Francisco in the best way possible and makes me want to come back again and again.

Tonight I attended a community class focused on the 26 postures—easily the best practice I’ve had in the Bay Area. Thoughtful pacing, clear instruction, and a full room that still felt spacious. The kind of place where people actually say hello, where the energy is strong but not overwhelming. Left feeling grounded, challenged, and lighter. Bonus points for checking in with Pepper the dog.

Great studio! I dropped by a morning hit yoga class and loved everything about it. The studio has an amazing atmosphere and the instructor Steve was fantastic providing verbal tips to correct pose posture during the class really helping in getting the most out of the practice!

This studio goes beyond the vibey and welcoming aesthetic. The energy you feel from the second you walk in the door is everything. The staff are authentic and generous people. The owner, Steve 23 was kind enough to walk us through the space and show us the intentional layers that are both built in and added for decor. There is a sense of belonging here. I spent a total of 24+ hours in the space this past weekend for a teacher training and I wouldn't have wanted to have that experience anywhere else. Thank you New Mission Yoga Family! I cannot wait to come back 💕

Loved this studio! It’s run by a long time Burner, so there’s all kinds of good vibes here. From cool signs reminding us of radical inclusion, to unique art pieces by local artists (ask the owner to tell you the stories behind them!) this place is special. I loved their array of unique beverages and became obsessed with a passionfruit Agua Fresca there. The teachers are awesome. Note - floors are squishy! Not hardwood. Awesome on the knees. Also- even though their website currently doesn’t say so, they do have two showers if you need to rinse off after class.

Fall-to-your-knees, fall-in-love kind of yoga studio! I’m absolutely jazzed about the vibe and the workout overall. The heat brings that extra ‘oomph’ our bodies need to release tension, loosen up, and fully embrace the practice. Steve and the team at Mission Yoga are so attentive and great at keeping you motivated to enjoy your time there. Thanks for creating such a cute and welcoming studio in SF!

I just celebrated my 1 year Anniversary of both doing Yoga and being a member at New Mission Yoga. This is an incredibly welcoming space for anyone new to yoga. All of the instructors are fantastic- patient, kind, and skilled in their craft. The studio is clean and the lighting is fantastic and puts me in the right headspace to work my body and mind. Steve and his team are always changing things up with new classes, workshops and programs. I am grateful to Steve, Terrel, Alyssa and the rest of the crew for creating an amazing community.

I’m new to hot yoga and am so happy to have stumbled upon New Mission Yoga, trying out a new hobby/studio can be really intimidating but everyone at Mission Yoga is so kind and welcoming! I also love how the instructors encourage that everyone moves at their own flow and really cultivate an environment that feels safe and celebrates all levels. I highly recommend! 🙂

I had a really great experience at this yoga studio. The owner is very welcoming and warm. The folks who practice here are considerate and understanding. Super thankful for the classes today! ~Jenna

Took hot Pilates with Steve and it was fantastic. The heat was intimidating at first but was reassured to listen to your body and rest when needed. Staff was welcoming. The place felt right, if you know what I mean. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I just signed up after trying it out! Steve23 was very welcoming and, when running the class, explained things clearly and with modifications. I'm new to hot yoga & it was challenging and I felt great afterwards! I'm excited to do this again & to try out some of the other classes here!

Took a hot yoga 60 for my first class here and it was great! Visiting from out of town so it was super easy to get in and out for a much needed session. Plus there’s a dog so…!

Great professional class, great queuing, nice clean and welcoming space. Love the mats offering extra support. The lights, light music is great addition. As well as the indoor parking for 🛴 or bicycle

Enjoyed Hot Yoga 60 via class pass! The space was amazing - very outer space mellow lasers meets hippie zen yoga retreat. The practice itself was hot, challenging and relaxing! Steve the owner was the instructor for the day and was extremely friendly, helpful and great at coaching.

“Mission Yoga has me totally hooked! I stumbled across this gem three months ago, and it’s been love at first stretch ever since. The vibe? A wild mix of psychedelic, traditional, and cozy—like a time machine back to your Latin American adventures. The heated studio is spotless (seriously, it sparkles), and the energy here is pure magic. Amazing classes, incredible instructors—what’s not to love?”

Wonderful experience regardless of yoga level I would recommend starting with a regular hot yoga class then definitely proceeding with the hotbox yoga. Perfect sf hippy experience to do yoga and smoke for any tourist and Bay Area local. Great people and vibes.

This studio is the kind of third place I had dreamed existed, more than I even realized until I visited. The space is beautiful, the classes are challenging but rejuvenating, and the community and events are healing. The instructors are all kind and great at what they do (special shoutout to Steve23 💖). I live 2500 miles away and make a point to visit every time I’m in town - grateful for this special place!

New mission yoga provides a very inviting environment with a great ambiance that fosters community feeling. The teachers are both knowledgeable and motivational. The classes are healing and relaxing while also challenging and pushing one to the next level in their practice. If you try out a class, you are very unlikely to regret it.

I can’t say enough great things about New Mission Yoga! Every instructor I’ve taken a class with—Alyssa Quintanar, Steve23 Sanchez, and Terrel Harris—has been absolutely amazing. They’re all professional, fun, skilled, and talented at what they do. What I love most is how much they care about their students. They pay attention to everyone in class, call you by your name, and make you feel like part of the community from day one. I was called by my name in every single class, which really makes the experience feel personal and welcoming. The instructors are always encouraging you, challenging you, and inviting you to new events. I’ve grown stronger and more confident with each class, and I feel incredible every time I leave the studio. I’m so thankful my mom introduced me to New Mission Yoga because I know I’m getting a great workout every time I step in. I highly recommend this place, the instructors, and all their classes to everyone. New Mission Yoga gets 5 stars from me!

I took hot yoga with Terrell. Steve and Terrell (instructors) were both very kind and welcoming to my friend and I. The class was high intensity but he offered easier and harder alternatives for a few of the movements while having great energy and motivation for participants! I would definitely come back or get a membership.

I’m visiting from the other side of the bay to take some special classes like Hot Yoga + and Hot Box Yoga. Definitely worth the travel! Great community! I stood near the back of the room, and the tall mirrors made me feel like an enormous wizard silhouetted by the purple and pink lighting.

Visited SF and wanted to check out some sort of healing class and found New Mission Yoga’s somatic breathwork. It was an amazing experience that helped me safely release a lot of pent up stress and left me feeling so much lighter and grounded. I so wish I could come back weekly! The studio and staff are wonderful!

If you’ve never done hot yoga, heads up, it can take some getting used to. I think it took me 3 classes before I felt comfortable. Even though I sometimes have to sit out on a pose, I always feel that there is no judgement. Mission Yoga is a wonderful, supportive community full of some of San Francisco’s nicest people. I love the ambience & the vibes. It’s such a wonderful place to be.

This was my first time doing hot yoga and my instructor Steve23 was wonderful. He gave me encouragement and I was able to push through the entire session. Although it was mentally challenging, the poses and exercises are not difficult and fairly easy for a beginners. Overall I would recommend if you want to challenge yourself.

Amazing hot yoga studio, superb teachers that are really kind and take their time to properly show you all the stances. Is awesomely hot and this makes you sweat a lot so get your water before and during the class. Is my very first time doing hot yoga and love it. Highly recommend Mission Yoga ! Thanks guys!

I’ve been going to this studio for over a year and I love it. The instructors are all welcoming, excellent and challenge me mentally and physically for each class. I love to see all different types of people at classes. It is a truly inclusive studio. I always feel comfortable walking in and better about myself and the day walking out.

Wow every part of this studio blew me away! I was in awe of the beauty & uniqueness of the art & it’s def the coolest vibes of a fitness studio I’ve been to. The venue itself, the instructors, & the students all support a sense of radical self expression & I love it. I’m very happy a place like this exists!

Wonderful studio. I stopped in during a long layover at SFO. Everyone from staff to fellow students was super welcoming and the studio is a starry daydream. Sweaty and happy. Would recommend

I loved my first class and looking forward to more! The studio is welcoming — lights and music are super motivating and fun. I loved the balance of rigor and playfulness of the class. The teacher Steve was amazing, so helpful and kind, and really made me feel at home. Left feeling accomplished and energized!! Definitely check it out!

LOVE this studio so much! Such a fun and inclusive space. The Hot Pilates classes are a party and amazing workout all in one, and I really appreciate that they offer community yoga classes. Check them out! 🙂

It was my first time in studio and I was welcomed by so many people. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I was greeted by smiles and good conversation. The warmth of people is embodiment of what yoga is.

They return lost items 100%. Great every level morning yoga. On time. Supportive. All levels. Professional kind and skilled instructors. Always plenty of room but always good company also. Shower worked. 10/10

I can't say enough great things about New Mission Yoga. The teachers are warm and inviting and give excellent guidance on how to get into poses safely and effectively. Steve23, the owner, is one of the best instructors I've ever had. He's done a amazing job of crafting not just a great place to practice yoga, but also a sense of community. I highly recommend the 90 minute hot yoga classes on Saturday or Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. Be sure to bring water and a towel; and be prepared to sweat. It's truly the best way to start your day. Thanks Steve23, Alyssa, and Gabrielle for being the best instructors 🙂

Such a wonderful community of yogis here! I’ve been going to hot classes for years and I’m so glad to have found this studio in my neighborhood. The instructors are kind and encouraging, the studio is inviting and cozy, and there are a variety of classes and events to suit all tastes. (Don’t miss hot pilates!!) Big thanks to all the New Mission Yoga folks for welcoming me into this community.

Yin Yoga w Alyssa is pure bliss as she expertly guides the class through multiple variations of poses to enable you to determine the best for your body to melt into, relax, and work the pliability of those tissues. As someone who needs to give the connective tissue, ligaments & fascia extra love - Yin Yoga delivers! I dance 2-3 times a week, and always hold tension in my hip flexors. After one class of Yin Yoga I noticed a difference in hip tension and an improved ability to raise my legs and move my body differently in my next dance class. Amazing! Thank you!

I’ve been on the hunt for a hot yoga/pilates studio and was so happy to find Mission Yoga! There’s so many classes to choose from with such awesome instructors. This will be my new weekly go-to spot!

I had a wonderful first time and it won’t be the last! Thanks for a could-never-dream-of Buti Yoga experience! I appreciate the relaxed and accepting environment, intensity was spot on, and the music selection had me grooving on an early Wednesday afternoon! ✨ Love the art!

I always feel at home at mission yoga. I love this reincarnation from the previous studio, the layout of the space is great, there’s a lounge where you can hang out with Steve’s dog pepper. I took a bunch of classes during my visit and Steve and Alyssa were incredible teachers. Btw be sure to try the Yin yoga class- it’s such an understated class compared to hot Pilates and hot yoga but yin is so healing, gentle and life changing. I did hot yoga 60 and then stayed for yin yoga and it was exactly what I needed to help with my stress.

Have been coming here 2-3 times per week for 4 months and really appreciated the community here. All the instructors are great and welcoming. Fantastic and funky environment to practice yoga. A gem!

Quintessentially San Francisco! Welcoming, fun, quirky community in a roomy psychedelic space. A unique pallet of classes and experiences for all levels and an awesome destination to bring friends from out of town. So much love for this place and her people❣️❣️❣️

Just had my first yoga class here at noon, and I'm already hooked! The studio has this amazing Burning Man vibe that makes you feel like you're stepping into another world or be back home. The energy was incredible—so welcoming and vibrant. The class itself was fantastic.Thank you Steve!

New Mission Yoga offers an exceptional experience for yogis seeking both challenge and growth. The class provided a fantastic workout, pushing me to my limits in the best possible way. The instructor's guidance was motivating and supportive throughout, ensuring a fulfilling session. I'm already looking forward to returning for more. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a rewarding yoga practice!

I just went to New Mission Yoga for the first time and I cannot recommend Kelly’s buti yoga class on Mondays! The space is so nice, intimate, and the staff were all so welcoming and genuine. Kelly made the class so energetic and fun while also being relaxing and deeply healing. Her class was a mix of yoga, heat, primal movements, rocking, dance, etc. just plain fun!! I cannot tell you how much I needed to reconnect with my body!

Ashley’s 90 min Hot yoga class was so amazing! She takes the time with each student and makes sure you’re able to do your poses in a safe way as to not hurt yourself. Incredible class

Lovely hot yoga class. Very friendly. Aesthetically pleasing studio. Cool lighting. Great instruction. Comfortable heat and humidity and clean purified air. Definitely try it out here!

I came here for 2 sessions of their 60 minute hot yoga in the morning, both great! I thought the instruction was equal parts gentle, motivating and precise! The decor, lights and music also made it a relaxing and at the same time rejuvenating experience.

Magical energy!! Experienced a lovely sound bath here. The energy of the space is beautiful! Highly recommend.

Had a blast at buti yoga. Amazing workout. Wonderful staff. Embodied vibes. Beautiful space - I didn’t want to close my eyes at the end because the ceiling was looking so wonderful with their unique lighting

An absolutely fabulous yoga studio. Words can’t describe how purified I felt after the hot yoga session. I felt truly welcomed, embraced , nurtured and motivated by their expert guidance and yoga teaching. I highly highly recommend this yoga studio !!!

This yoga spot isn’t just about poses; it’s a cozy place where people support each other. It helped me find stillness in a world bustling with chaos. Being part of this community gave me purpose and peace. I miss the studio dearly and hope they can expand to Denver soon, bringing their transformative atmosphere to more people in need of tranquility. -☮️🧘🏽‍♀️🍃

Steve was amazing, I am so glad I signed up for his Hot Pilates class! He is energetic and does the workout with you, which is very motivating. Would highly recommend this yoga studio. Love the colorful lights and upbeat music. They have mats / towels for rent. I brought my own mat but found out towels are required so I had to pay on the spot for one. They do take cash and credit cards.

Attending the hot Pilates class at Mission Yoga is an invigorating and empowering experience. Steve's infectious energy and motivational teaching style kept me fully engaged and motivated throughout the session. His passion for fitness is truly inspiring, and I left the class feeling both physically and mentally rejuvenated. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a dynamic and fulfilling workout experience. Coco

Very welcoming vibe. I took the Hot Pilates class and it was fun and intense - the heat really makes you sweat! Felt the burn for sure. Definitely need to remember to bring a water bottle and a yoga towel and mat! Probably also should have brought a change of clothes!

I absolutely LOVE this yoga studio. Everyone is always so welcoming and kind. The instructors always have the best energy. I came into this studio as a beginner and did the 90 minute hot yoga with Steve23 and his doggy pepper. I was dripping sweat in every crevice, it pushed me but I was so happy and relaxed to be there by the end of the class. I also really love the buti yoga class. It’s high energy and all the dancing and booty shaking is a killer worker out. Highly recommend!

Friendly knowledgeable staff. The hot room is always at the perfect temperature and I can’t believe how many different classes they offer. There is something for everyone at all level. Best hot yoga studio in the Bay Area!

Phenomenal on Every Level! From the incredible instructors, amazing studio, fabulous and fun classes with music to match. Mission Yoga is where you can find each posture, each move and each moment are not just results orientated but they are ready for every level of student and all types of folx while leading with love! Here you find a home with a heart every time you enter and you know you chosen family awaits you with a smile. Come for class stay for the awesome events!

This yoga studio has the best community in San Francisco. Every time I come to class someone recognizes my effort and is not the teacher! You feel supported and welcome. Music and lights takes you to another world! Is a must visit and affordable one! Thank you Steve23 for staying open all these years and in the best neighborhood, the Mission!

I heard through a friend JB about new mission yoga , that it was a place to learn the techniques of yoga. What I found is a group of dedicated practitioners and a vibrant community of folks who share the teachings together. It’s a space for learning patience and focus for your daily lifestyle. the ambiance of the studio is soothing. A definite recommendation for people looking for quality health and wellness, with other types of fitness classes available as well.

The best yoga studio in the city - lots of great classes and an awesome community. Steve23 and Alyssa’s inferno hot pilates classes are my favorites, I love that I always leave class feeling amazing and stronger. The inviting decorations and neon lighting of the studio are real mood boosters each time you walk in. I really love this place!

I’ve only been there a few times and had Alyssa as my instructor. She’s so nice and clearly explains all the poses as you’re going through. The energy and community are great. I love how many options of classes they have available. INCREDIBLE ATMOSPHERE AND ENERGY!! Can’t wait to take more classes!

There’s no place like Mission Yoga! A true gem representing all good things Mission District & San Francisco: good people, great atmosphere & a killer fitness workout! I feel so welcome to each class regardless of my experience level, and its a very inclusive joint. Love Steve, Alyssa, Gabrielle, and all the great instructors they bring in

I’ve been to many yoga studios around the country, and a handful in SF—Mission Yoga is hands down the best I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is serene, clean, and it feels like a genuine community center. Everybody is so kind, and the classes are excellent. Big fan ❤️

I attended a sacred sound healing and mushroom ceremony here and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. A friend convinced me to it as it’s a little out of character for me but it was insanely amazing. Everyone was so welcoming and the music and different instruments they use were very impressive. 10/10, great night!

had yet another amazing experience at mission yoga. steve23 curates the most sublime spiritual experiences. it’s always gorgeous. it’s always divine.

New Mission Yoga was the perfect studio to “renew” my dedication to yoga! The studio is very friendly and welcoming of all levels of yoga practitioners. The heat really works to sweat out what our body doesn’t want to hold onto. The nearly brand new yoga room and amenities are spacious, clean, and nicely designed / decorated. I am excited to try out each class and workshop. Thank you Steve23 and to Alyssa, today’s noon class (Thursday) instructor!
