I'm soooooo happy to have found Raga. I've done a lot of yoga in the last handful of years but I didn't know that aerial was the level up that I needed. Aerial yoga is challenging but also so incredibly fun. It helps that CJ and Maria are awesome instructors that make learning new skills so enjoyable. I look forward to what each new class holds.

Before coming here, I haven't practiced yoga in a few years. I'm thrilled to let this place be the place for me to make a comeback. The vibe in here could easily make me a regular for sure. One thing that I absolutely love is the plants. There. are. plants. EVERYWHERE! And they look amazing. The hanging plants give me such an outdoorsy, jungle vibe that I can just zone in to during yoga. One thing that I absolutely appreciate is that the floor is marked so that everyone can be safely distanced.
Now I write many Yelp reviews, but this might be the first time that I write about a bathroom

I was recommended Raga Yoga by one of my good friends, MaryAnn, who is also one of the teachers at this studio. Such a beautiful place to practice yoga. They offer quite a few different classes like flow, restore, and aerial! For new students, they offer $39 for 3 weeks of unlimited yoga and 3 classes onsite. Really great price if you ask me especially if you're new to yoga or just wanting to try out a new studio. For the 3 classes, I attended the RagaFlow and it was exactly what I needed. I even had my fiance attend the classes and for someone that doesn't usually practice yoga, he really

So glad I came across Raga Yoga! I usually go to yoga studios in SF but recently been wanting to find one in the Walnut Creek area especially one that includes aerial yoga classes. CJ and all the instructors here are amazing and patient! I automatically feel calm and more in tune with my body/inner being whenever I step into this cute studio and after each class I feel peaceful. I love that they have a wide range of classes (which welcome beginner levels like myself) including roll model method therapy balls which include self-myofascial release - these help SO MUCH with my lower back tension.

Updating for our times... Raga is streaming daily classes live and offering prerecorded classes for us to follow along at home. Connecting in the time of social distancing -- thanks CJ!
Previous Review: I've been coming regularly 3-5 days/week since the studio opened last fall and I loooove this yoga studio. CJ and her team are the best! Super supportive and student-focused with something for everyone from beginner on up. In addition to the usual range of yoga classes, they offer innovative classes using hammocks for restorative, stretching, and strength building classes. Check out their drop

I took my first yoga class in years today via Zoom with CJ. She was wonderful and her class was a perfect gentle flow with opportunity to take it further if you are ready. CJ has a great tone, she's passionate and kind and it shows in her class, even online. Thanks for providing me an opportunity to burn some stress today and have the best Savasana nap ever.

Outstanding yoga is offered through Raja Yoga at Shadelands. Love the instructors who offer challenging flow and aerial classes for more advanced students as well as a host of beginning instruction. I've been blessed to have been trained by the owner CJ whose classes are challenging and stress strength and balance with a calming voice and message. The many teachers she has gathered in her studio are all high quality. I have been to dozens of yoga studios and retreats over the many years I have practiced and can honestly say Raja is the best yoga anywhere!!

I can't say enough about this beautiful studio! I have been practicing yoga and meditation for some years and have practiced at other studios in the area but nothing compares to Raga Yoga. CJ, the owner is such a warm soul and an incredible teacher and her staff are just a wonderful. I have taken the aerial and flow classes and they are nothing short of incredible. So good I bought the full year membership. I have also brought my teenage son who is a high school baseball player and his teammate to an aerial class and they loved it too! On a side note, the aesthetic of the studio itself is

I cannot say enough positive things about this yoga studio. I have a back injury and several older sports injuries and I need to be very careful with my body alignment and mobility. CJ and the other instructors are very conscious about posture and proper ways of movement. I have taken the Restore, Aerial and myofascial release classes. They are absolutely fabulous! Highly recommended! I look forward to getting in better shape and taking their more rigorous Hatha and Flow classes.

The space CJ and her team have created is EVERYTHING! When I practice in this sanctuary I'm flooded with emotion - light, love, abundance, warmth, comfort, growth, calm, community, peace, strength, empowerment, gratitude and everything in between. The classes offered are both physically and mentally dynamic, versatile and purposeful. I am so very thankful to be able flow, glow, and grow at Raga Yoga.

I have completely enjoyed each time I've walked through Raga Yoga's door. There is so much variety in the classes offered and the instructors are top notch. The studio is perfectly appointed and exudes warmth and welcome. If you are looking for a place to connect with beautiful souls, to move your tired bod, to stretch your aches , to work your muscles, to quiet your mind, then this is the place. CJ and Bruce, thank you for your gift to the community.

I'm happy to review Raga Yoga. This is a wife and husband operation, and CJ and her husband have placed a gem in the community. I actually beat my girlfriend to a class here as it worked out, as she'd bought an intro 3 weeks for $39 pass before I got mine!
In classical Indian music, a raga is a piece of music played in accordance with some time of day or season. This, to me, signifies a commitment to appropriate and varied pace according to the specific class, as well as to the student's needs. Raga Yoga delivers a great place to practice, and receive yoga instruction at whatever
