Best yoga studio in town, hands down. Rex and Tom (the owners) have a ton of experience and knowledge in their own traditions of yoga. The other teachers, such as Lisa and Cheri, are also incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. You can count on whoever is teaching that they will have the expertise to guide you, no matter what level you are practicing yoga.

Where do i even begin.. the way i see this place is, it isn't a gym or a gymnastics studio. it's a yoga studio, meaning you're guided through a practice to help still your mind. the instructors understand the human body so well, it's almost as if they can see through your skin during an asana to see if your mind is trying to escape the "discomfort" of an asana. but i think finding comfort within the discomfort, won't only help you with your yoga practices - but will help you with whatever life throws at you . that's why having instructors who can fix your

I am 72, with two artificial hips and knees that are also going. Tom is ever aware of my and everyone else’s needs as we practice his asanas . I trust deeply his sense of what is needed to help keep me safe and also challenged sufficiently in his gentle and restorative classes. His ability to help us with the subtle carefully explained details of movement needed, is what keeps me focused with my body and nothing else:
My experience is one of gratitude for having my needs for safety, challenge, attentiveness, and care met in ways that have built my deep trust for Tom and his skill and dedication

Best studio I've been to, hands down! I have been practicing for 4 years now and have tried 8 other studios. Yoga Center of Chico has the best variety of well trained, traditional instructors who inspire, heal, and guide you. Every time you step foot into any of their classes, you are in great hands and guaranteed a strong "yoga high" afterwards. The studio is very spacious and calming. The rates are very reasonable and the owner Tom is so friendly and runs the business tremendously well. Don't waste time trying any other studio. Yoga Center of Chico is where you should be.

I've been to several classes at this studio when I'm in town. I've found the classes and instructors are good, the space is really nice, and the location great, and I like the fact that they have a number of classes a day to choose from. I have never been a fan of partner poses though, so I kinda wish there was a way to know when a class will include one so I can plan accordingly.
