Red Dragon Yoga

If you're OK with 75min classes (versus 90min) Stephanie and Moana can make a 75min class feel like 90min - that is a compliment!

Absolutely LOVE this studio. I travel a lot, but make sure to attend classes every time I return to the Bay Area, and honestly haven't found a studio I like more than this in any other city around the world! The teachers are so friendly and talented, the yoga/pilates classes are challenging and rewarding, and the studio is clean and comfortable. I always leave class feeling 10X better than I did going into it. So glad I found this place a few years ago!

Great class, amazing staff including the manager. But the owner is rude and inconsiderate, I was a few minutes late to class and as it was my first time I didn't realize I needed to bring a yoga mat. It was 5 dollars for a mat and they wanted to charge me 5 dollars for a towel! which I declined. As they don't accept Apple Pay and i was already a few minutes behind in the class, I asked if I could pay after bc they would have to write down my card number. In which the manager said no and made me even more late. It just really rubbed me the wrong way and made me feel like just another dollar for the business.

Great variety of high quality classes, HIIT type pilates is taxing even the most trained athletes. You literally can see the teachers authentic great vibe energy.

LOVE this studio - has made a world of difference in 2021 and going into the New Year. Great energy, great instructors, awesome HEAT!

Have loved Red Dragon since I started there 10 years ago. Moved away and am now doing virtual classes because they are so good.

It's so good. Beautiful lobby. Big and roomy studio. Great staff, amazing teachers. I love this place.

I love The Red Dragon teachers so much. I have been doing yoga for 30 years, and luckily have also known Stephanie for 30 years. During the pandemic, I joined the Red Dragon community from across the country for virtual classes. The classes helped keep me sane, healthy and happy, and I cannot express my gratitude to the RD community in words. Love this group of teachers, and the whole community radiates compassion and joy. Thank you Red Dragon!

Studio with good vibes teachers who care. It's a nice touch that the floors are a little cushy and not hardwood, ive never experienced that before.

Let me start by saying that I have been attending yoga at the Red Dragon Yoga in Mill Valley for two weeks now. The only time I have available is the 10am classes each morning. Today the owner was teaching the class and her name is Stephanie Schreiber and this person really drove me crazy today. Halfway into the class while doing our yoga poses, she decided to talk to us like we were a bunch of children.

She said, "this place is not a storage and you cannot store your belongings here!". This class is also hot yoga, and she continuously opens the widows four times all the way to let in the cold air in during our practice. So, I moved away from the window because I'm attending hot yoga class, not cold one. During the floor series, and she opens the window fully letting the cold air come in once again, and throwing dirty yoga mats out the window while she is teaching at the same time!

This time I ask her to please only open the window a little bit because its cold. She turns to me and says, "If you don't like it, then don't Come!" with a very raised voice and caught the attention of everyone in the room. I was shocked! As a business owner myself, I think it's very rude to talk to a paying customer this way! I cannot believe what I heard!

I don't like how this "teacher" treats her students in a yoga class! I will never attend a class if she is instructing it again. In my experience with Red Dragon it always appeared everyone was appreciated and respected. In this instance I felt I was singled out. I happen to be the only Asian person in the class. I enjoy my practice at red dragon until today, this owner is lucky to have all these great teachers, but the owner herself, in my very own experience and opinion, avoid her.

This place is horribly dirty. No room to change clothes, very small stuffy room. some of the teachers are just horrible! If I were you I would avoid this place at all costs!

I love Red Dragon Yoga. I realized I have been going to Red Dragon for more than a decade and I've never really expressed how much I enjoy and appreciate this place and what it does for me and so I want to express my gratitude here. I am glad that Red Dragon is here and so accessible to me. I do not fit the profile of a super yogi and Red Dragon is place that is open supportive to use yoga how it works for me.

I do hot yoga for better health, stretching to counter-balance sports and life and to feel refreshed and alive. Every session seems to be unique in it's challenge to me, but I always feel better for having gone. Thank you Red Dragon and your great instructors for being here!

I've visited Red Dragon Yoga three times this past week and would like to set the record straight as it seems their studios have recently received an awful lot of flack. Of their two locations, the San Rafael site is by far superior as the studio has a lovely amount of sunlight and is more spacious, which affords neighboring students a more comfortable experience.

The Mill Valley site is smaller and the studio a bit dark. Appearances aside, the teachers are experienced, helpful and positive; I found all of the classes I attended to be exceptional and true to the Bikram practice. For first time students, there is a $30 Groupon special running until March for one month of unlimited classes.

I 100% agree this is the best studio in Mill Valley - instructors teach vigorous classes with detailed and very precise alignment cues. Classes are hard and hot but they get easier. Every teacher seems to have a lot of experience. The only critique is the studio needs a little TLC. But, personally, it's more about the quality of the teachers than the esthetic of the space.

Update: The intensity is *drastically* different depending on the instructor within the same classname which is probably good for the business overall but makes it risky to change instructors. I guess I wish RD had "level" indicators like Core Power. Still an excellent studio for me because of the instructors/classes I know are a good match but without knowing the level of intensity of a class before signing up, I now am hesitant to buying new sessions that I haven't already tried. - This is the best studio I've ever been to.

The tempo of power has been challenging but the environment is friendly if you need to take a breather. The instructors have had great routines and it kicks your butt which is just what I want.

I love this studio so much - outside of my boyfriend and my dog, Jill and Ed are the two beings I'm thrilled to see first thing in the morning. They bring so much presence, humor and humanity to the Power Yoga practices they lead. Yes, the room is *hot* and yes, it's a sweaty, challenging flow, and yes, there goes your gorgeous blowout. But it's so worth it.

After only six weeks I'm feeling more flexible and more connected to my breath, and I'm recovering the strength and muscles I'd lost when I stopped doing ridiculously hard, ridiculously taxing HIIT workouts. The music is great, the lighting could be a little lower but really it's fine - and once you get into the flow, nothing matters.

I also love that they don't physically push me too much to find my "edge" - a regrettable tendency from my past that my hips and hamstrings will never let me forget. Ouch. The moment that reinforced my love for this studio; I have to take this week off from hot sweaty yoga, so I tried a different, quite popular, not-hot Marin yoga studio this morning.

It was super run-of-the-mill and just not the grounding, exhilarating, consciousness-opening experience that I get at Red Dragon. Oh! Also, Red Dragon is so affordable if you do the auto-membership thing, the street parking is abundant, and they always have the cutest dogs lying around waiting for belly rubs. What more could you ask for?

Love this place so much! I have always loved yoga but didn't know a good studio in Marin. I feel like a lot of the studios can be intimidating or overly crowded. I was recommended this place by several friends and decided to give it a try. I love the atmosphere and the inferno pilates is one of my favorite classes I have ever taken. Lori is such a gem! Tip: use groupon to get one month free of unlimited classes for only ~$28!

I met the owner, Stephanie, after a few classes. She spoke of how she learned to dance in the storm. She is a very good joker! She knows nothing of dancing, storms, or how to dance in a storm! My partner and I signed up for the groupon monthly membership to try out Red Dragon. The classes are ranging from decent to lame, not better. Barely ANY Bikram yoga, which is the most beneficial and healing yoga, the yoga HOT ROOMS were made for! the rest of the classes are Power Yoga and Pilates. very unappetizing! Anyway, the studio would be worth more than 1 star if not for this: 3 weeks into our membership, I get a call from Stephanie saying that because my partner (a registered Yoga Teacher Trainer for over 18 years) spoke with the teachers during class, spoke to students after class, she is banned from coming back.

I was not surprised (weak teachers can't handle much) but I was taken aback by Stephanie's unwillingness to even discuss the matter. Her mind was made up and she did not want to be QUESTIONED, ASKED, or even discuss this. When I refuted her claims of falsehood against my yoga teacher partner and asked her simple questions "Is it against your policy for students to talk to teachers?", etc. SHE BANNED ME TOO, AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

Very VERY UNprofessional. Complete weakness and does not know a thing about strength, YOGA, meditation, or dancing in the storm. I will spread the word not to go to Red Dragon whenever I get the chance. :)

I LOVE red dragon! I'm a big fan of hot yoga & Bikram, and this is the only yoga studio I've been able to be consistent with. The Locations of the studios couldn't be more ideal for me, I have one next to my house, and one next to my office. Every single teacher I've had at Red Dragon is so incredible, I love to mix up the classes because they all have their own unique touches they bring that create a very well rounded experience. They're all very knowledgeable on body mechanics and are always assisting in a gentle way to help me get the most out of my time there.

I prefer the Mill Valley location, personally. I like the small dark cozy room. This yoga studio feels more intimate to me. The San Rafael one is also great, but for me it has more of a commercial feel to it, and the yoga room is huge, it holds a lot of people and the street facing windows keep it very bright. I do like to mix up the locations, but i especially want to show the Mill Valley some love Bc it's a great place!. and I have never noticed a foul smell there, as I read in some other reviews.

Red Dragon is more than a yoga studio--This is a community of people that love yoga and connect. The teachers are all great. Does not matter what time you go and what class you take. BTW, they have Inferno Hot Pilates and it is great! The best. When I am feeling down, I can hit Red Dragon in San Rafael or Mill Valley and get that boost! The best place on the planet. You can get an unlimited membership which is the best deal. You can also do work trade if you don't have the funds. Do not miss this place! All levels!

I think this place is great! I did not notice any "unbearable" smell at all- The instructors are great, and the practice studio is really nice! I do wish the locker rooms were a little larger, though!

Highly Disappointing. Please note that this review is not reflective at all of the teachers or the classes, just in reference to the staff and ownership. I was referred to Red Dragon by a good friend who has been going here for 15 years and who speaks so highly of this studio. I went in to sign up for a trial and was thrown off by the managers unfriendliness. However, I ended up check out their merchandise for a friends birthday, leading to a fairly large purchase for her. Unfortunately, it turns out she she is no longer a size M.

No big deal, I thought, Ill go back and exchange all the merchandise for S. Well, they did not have smalls, and they could not order them. So, I asked to be reimbursed and they said that they could only offer me store credit. Not only was this already a bummer situation, the manager of this location is horribly unpleasant to speak to, yet again the second time around.

When I called to speak to the owner to discuss the fairly large amount that was spent, she was on vacation. I spoke to her other manager in San Rafael who was much more accommodating and apologetic. She was going to get back to me ASAP to help resolve. It is now 3 weeks later and I have not heard back. Just now, per my conversation with management again, there is "nothing" they can do per there Return Policy (which was not disclosed at MY time of purchase.) I fully understand that if an establishment has a no return policy and clearly enforces it. However, this was not the case in this situation. Also, you would think that that want to take good care of their customers especially if they are new to the studio and bring money to their establishment.

I have never been treated so unprofessionally by a yoga studio. I will not be wasting one ounce of my energy dealing with the staff at this location. My short encounter at Red Dragon overall would be labeled as rude, abrasive, sarcastic, condescending and overall disappointing. Its quite alarming to walk into a yoga studio with this kind of negativity. I hope others have a better experience.

This is a wonderful place to do yoga, friendly helpful staff and great teachers. I especially recommend Heather Sotnick's class for her positive energy and joyful sequencing of movement. She knows just how to time the poses so as not to leave you hanging. Also Ed Levinson is great. He has a great sense of humor and really knows his stuff when it comes to the meditative element and modifications for different types of bodies. He often gives choose your own adventure poses with a low-pressure invitation to go more deeply into a pose. I especially like his power and yin class on Sunday nights.

As a newbie to hot yoga, I had to give this place a shot after my daughter raved of the experience here. The four stars goes to the instructor (I believe Ann is her name), she easily pinned me as a beginner (huh what?! Me?) and assisted me very gently and precisely in correcting my poses. I didn't understand the general rules or procedures of the studio so was a little lost.

I had tried signing up for their special online (website didn't offer) so did this as a walk-in. Class was crowded and front desk was too busy to explain any pertinent things I needed to know. Overall, I'm looking forward to more classes here!

This is a great hot room yoga spot. The teachers are kind and are good instructors, the space is modern and very relaxing, showers are impeccably clean.

As a Yogi, its very hard to write negative things but when considering a yoga studio, it should be filled with positivity however this place is far from that with the Manager. I was impressed after reviewing the company website how they did not have a bio of the manage roof this studio! GOOD because the website doesn't need to waste time on writing something good about such a negative and rude individual.

Without explaining what had happened on MY FIRST VISIT to this studio, I left thinking "THANK GOD THERE IS ANOTHER STUDIO" and maybe that one would be better! IT SURE WAS! Emily Leahy, is totally UNYogi, with mind of entrust within herself and others and really should be kicked to the curb. Otherwise, Anna, Amy and Heather are ROCKIN AWESOME teachers. After my 10 day free pass expires, Id have to have an amazing deal to come back to this place thanks to such an inconsiderate and disrespectful individual.

This review is exclusively for the check-in woman at the front desk during the weekends. As many other times, I went to this Saturday's 10 am Yoga class with a couple of friends. The class was great and I finished it feeling energized. EXCEPT. that the woman at the front desk ruined it all. Again (she has done it before). As we were saying good bye, she stopped us and in a VERY unfriendly way (the same unfriendly way she checked me in) began to suggest that we had taken the class without registering / paying.excuse me?! I've been a customer for more than 2 years AND my friends, who were coming from San Francisco, had spent 10 or 15 minutes registering for the class just 90 minutes before; only a misunderstanding, right?

No problem. So why be aggressive and nasty? It is unfortunate that a great class is ruined by this rude and unproffessional woman. This is Mill Valley, we don't crash classes without paying.learn some basic customer service skills. NAMASTE.

There's a lot good here. I fell in love with hot yoga at Red Dragon, but here's my BIG issue. There needs to be better quality control of the instructors. Some are great, but after a Bikram class a couple months ago, I felt like not returning. The instructor says she likes to "instruct" because she can get her workout in, which means, she's not instructing; she's just doing her thing.

No observing, no coaching, nothing.and I brought a new student with me. And, the next time I went, same instructor, the heat was way too high. Students (experienced ones) spoke up and got literally yelled at. I've done a lot of yoga, and being yelled at and the heat so high that my earrings were burning my skin is ridiculous, on top of an instructor just hanging out. Which is not to say, I haven't had phenomenal experiences, but if they aren't consistent, one will go elsewhere.
