Have been going to Kinfolk several times a week for the last 3 months. I really love the studio, all the teachers and participants are very relaxed and down to earth and kind, and also clearly very knowledgeable and skilled. It's a wonderful space to practice in and has a very community / home vibe. In particular I really love Elena's Friday Qi Gong class as well as Mandy and Trudy's classes. Thank you Kinfolk!!!

Holy Cow!!! This place is amazing. I took part in their new student program of unlimited yoga for two weeks and what a deal. I took full advantage and went ten days out of fourteen and I feel like I experienced the full spectrum of this studio. Kinfolk was a meditative cerebral Disney World filled with sound baths and great movement. The yoga teachers were some of the best I have ever experienced and I would consider myself a seasoned yoga dude. Kinfolk is filled with kind hearts and knowledge. Hope this helps, enjoy your day :)

I have completed four yoga sessions at Kinfolk Yoga and am impressed. All of the four teachers combined classic yoga poses together with positive affirmations and innovative techniques. I enjoy yoga of all kinds, but noticed that I was especially relaxed and inspired by my Kinfolk Yoga experiences. It was yoga for the soul as well as for the body. I recommend it for anyone. I definitely will continue to enjoy yoga at this studio in the future.

Love Kinfolk and all the instructors. Was intimidated about the other studios offered across the area, but after stepping into Kinfolk, I felt welcomed and the classes were enjoyable without being intimidating. Mandy the owners class are especially enjoyable & always help to clear my mind and get me in a good zone. Would totally recommend.
Might be confusing to locate the studio itself, it’s inside the “Alpha Building,” the same building the Taste of Thai is in.

Holy Cat-Cow, I attended Mandy's class recently hoping that in some way I could find relief for my lower back. Mandy customized the class to help me and I walked out of there PAIN FREE!!! I'm amazed. Truly one of the better yoga teachers I have worked with. I'm hooked, can't wait to go deeper into the practice she offers.

I recently was house sitting for 2 weeks in Grass Valley and discovered this sweet yoga studio. I purchased their incredible introductory package which is a super deal!! Their schedule of classes offers many options and much flexibility. I went to a class everyday and some days twice. I was able to experience so many different styles of classes. Every teacher was super nice (no intimidation here)!! Well educated with anatomy and alignment (imperative in eliminating injury)!! Able to talk and walk you through unfamiliar moves and positions (much appreciated, allowing me to focus within and feel

I was staying a few days in Nevada City, and ventured out to GV for a few hours. I noticed this yoga spot, asked the sweet woman (Mandy) outside if there was a class happening within an hour and it just so happened it was my lucky day! I took Trudy's gentle/ restorative class, and it was lovely. She's knowledgeable, gentle, warm and does a little aromatherapy at the end (only if you're OK with essential oils - she will ask first).
I bought some locally sourced honey... unfortunately, it broke in my travel bag and honeyed up all my belongings so I never got to taste it. Booo!!

This is such a gem of a yoga studio! It's been years since I've been able to find a truly soulful studio featuring all different kinds of traditions, and Grass Valley is so lucky to have Kinfolk! I especially love Tutku's classes on Wednesdays- the fire flow for when you want to have a spiritual but moderately active practice and the vichara class for deep and restorative self-inquiry :) I also love Ericardo's kaula tantra class, Mandy's kula class and Brooke's class! All of these are full of SOUL and led by teachers who are super committed to the traditions and origins

We had Mandy from Kinfolk Yoga do a yoga session with us and our friends and family on the morning of our wedding at our venue. She was fantastic! She did a great job of fitting the class to everyone's needs - we had both experienced yogis and first-timers present. She was able to bring extra mats and equipment for people who didn't have their own.
It was a wonderful moment to take a break from the craziness of setting up the wedding and to re-focus on ourselves and the meaning of the day.
I would highly recommend her! =)

Mandy helped me organize a trip I had planned to Grass Valley for 6 of my friends. We celebrated my birthday and attended 4 yoga/meditation classes in 2 days. Everyone remarked about how beautiful the studio is and what a lovely soothing voice Mandy has. She is an excellent teacher and made us feel very welcome. I will go again!

I have been coming to Kinfolk for a while now. Every Teacher in this Studio that I have taken classes with have been such inspiration and Self transforming avenues in my life..
I have been indulging in Brooke Sullivans "Tantra Yoga" Classes for sometime which led me to do an amazing Yoga Teacher Training with her as well under her special Sage Apprenticeship Program. It has made me get in tune deeper with the subtle energy bodies that we all are and Connect me to have a relationship with myself, breath and posture in such profound way that I can never thank her enough for being my guide

Kinfolk yoga studio has become a sanctuary for me on Friday nights. Mandy and all of the talented instructors guide you through each class with such grace and I leave feeling peaceful and calm in my own skin. I am a "gym rat" so yoga is a much needed balance. If you haven't checked out the studio, it is well worth investing the time in yourself. Namaste.

I love taking classes at Kinfolk Yoga. There is a genuine community feel to the place, the studio is beautiful, and Mandy and the other teachers are experienced, kind, and lead great classes. There is a great variety of classes, from athletic to restorative, but all classes foster deep connection. I highly recommend Kinfolk!

This is the first yoga studio I ventured into after being freshly transplanted to Grass Valley. I've found that Kinfolk Yoga offers a super wide variety of classes throughout the day to suit a wide variety of yogic needs. Although all teachers express different styles and voices in their teaching, I've also found that the consistent quality shared among all of them is their attention to the roots of yoga. The classes, even Power Hour, are not so much exercise-oriented like many of the classes I'm used to taking in the Bay Area. What I find special about Kinfolk Yoga, and what I will

I enjoy Allie's gentle, restorative classes. She is very warm and makes an effort to remember names. She helps beginners feel welcomed and explains poses clearly. The essential oils she uses are a nice touch. What an awesome smile too! I leave her class feeling like I've been to the spa! This is my favorite studio in town!

I can't recommend this studio enough, particularly classes with Allie Edison! She holds space for her students like a gentle cocoon, bringing thoughtfulness and generosity to intelligent sequencing that opens the heart and mind.
"Easy Like Sunday Morning" is a perfect name for her mellow and sweet class offerings at Kinfolk. Allie brings over a decade of wisdom as an instructor to her teachings, and her experience is obvious. I wish I lived locally! I'd be there all the time. I haven't tried the other teachers, but Allie is enough reason to go check this place out.

Kinfolk yoga is an awesome environment for all to come and enjoy. No matter what your level of practice you will be inspired by the teachers there. They are the most warm and welcoming folks. I always leave there wanting more. Mandy has created a most magical space with many choices of yoga practice that I didn't even know existed. A wonderful first time intro package to help you try everything. If you haven't been...you should. You will be glad you did. Namaste

This is a great studio that I just started going to. They have a great intro deal for locals to check out different classes. The studio has beautiful wooden floors and a nice peaceful ambience. The class size is nice and small allowing the teachers to make adjustments and give individual attention. Mandy is a great teacher and takes the time to connect with each student by learning their names. It is a very warm and inviting atmosphere whereas some studios can feel pretentious. I cannot wait to try out more classes here and experience different teachers and their styles of yoga!

I really wanted to up my Yoga practice when I moved to Grass Valley and I found the perfect place. Everyone is friendly and all the teachers I've sampled have been wonderful and happy to help you. I recommend Kinfolk Yoga to anyone whether beginner or advanced, these guys will take care of you. The studio is intimate with a gorgeous stone wall along one side. All the props you need are there also.

This studio has such an incredibly sweet and welcoming family atmosphere. I have searched around the area quite a bit for teachers and an environment that suite my practice and I have definitely found a home at Kinfolk. I have mostly just taken Devin's kick your butt in the most wonderful, juicy, opening way- flow classes. Although the few times I checked out other classes I loved the diversity in what was offered and have enjoyed everything I have taken. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming it is hard not to fall in love with this place. Plus- any studio that runs a special offering $5 classes

Mandy has put together an incredible group of instructors. Each have their own style, but all are so patient, experienced and knowledgeable. As a beginner, I was very hesitant to participate, but this group is so accepting and accommodating, I look forward to each session, even if I'm unable to get into some of those crazy hard positions!

It's really important for me to stay grounded and reconnect with my center when traveling. Looking for a yoga studio while visit Grass Valley I found Kinfolk and decided to give them a visit. What I found was a beautiful studio with an amazing aura and several very friendly people to greet me when I walked in the door.
I was thoroughly pleased with Shari, the yoga instructor and she was very attentive to our varying abilities. I felt she offered a very deep, relaxing and focused session.
