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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

Was entirely unsurprised to see the negative reviews here...here's mine:
Signed up for the $10 for 10 days because I do enjoy hotter yoga. Went to San Rafael yesterday...it was crowded and very hot, but an ok experience.
Came to class in Mill Valley tonight: was not even greeted as we walked in. "Just sign in on the iPad". The space is tiny - one third of the SR location, both the shop and the studio are very compact. The space was Bikram hot...very uncomfortable.
Then came the fun part: Instructor (with whom I'd had an enjoyable private lesson in the past) walks in and goes

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!

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???!!!

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
