“The best yoga studio I have ever been to. The classes are great, but it is the energy and welcoming atmosphere that truly makes it stand apart. Marisa (owner) is so lovely and engaging and wants to make sure everyone is getting whatever it is they are looking for from their practice. There are also events and markets that happen at the studio, and each one I have attended has been amazing. I could say more, but you just need to check it out.”

“What stands out most for me is how welcoming Tara Yoga Studio is to everyone who walks through the doors. It doesn’t matter if it is your first yoga class or your 1,000th. There is room for everyone and all ability levels. But that is just the beginning. All the students are kind and considerate, and it genuinely has a community feel. You might come in feeling stressed, but you always leave feeling better. The teachers are incredible and each has their unique style, music, and energy.”

“Tara Yoga is one of those very special places. Marisa is a deeply intentional teacher who elevates the personal, physical, and spiritual arms of yoga to a deeper level. Her adjustments are precise; she continues to evolve and refine my longtime practice. Her energy vibrates out to all who attend. Marisa is building more than a yoga studio; she is building a talented team and beautiful Novato community.”

“Tara Yoga Studio is my temple sanctuary for peace in my mind and in my body. It’s where I go in the Bay Area for real yoga practice…not just a workout. A place where I can feel calm and safe, slow down. A sanctuary with real connection and community where my whole nervous system downshifts and relaxes. I know that I feel safe. Practicing at Tara Studio is welcoming, inviting, heart-opening, soothing, healing…it’s a vortex of loving energy…and a total breath of fresh air.”
