Symmetry Yoga and Power Plate®

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Symetry for about 3 months. I have severe scoliosis. I am 60 years old. I came with lots of lower back pain, including sciatica pain on my whole left leg. I was unable to hike or mountain bike without pain. But now with treatment and getting used to the scoli brace they made for me, I am pain free! They have an amazing approach to treat sciliosis.

Fantastic experience: I have taken a few classes here and all the instructors have been great. Plusses: Easy to book through MindBody New Mats/Blocks/Straps etc Filtered Water Nice heated room The Warm Vinyasa Flows classes are great as well as the Yin/Restorative. I recommend this studio in the heart of Alamedas for anyone looking for a space to practice.

Fantastic experience: I just started yoga here a few months ago and can’t believe it didn’t find it sooner! It’s a beautiful place and the teachers are varied and all excellent. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Since moving to Alameda, my partner and I have been looking for a new yoga studio for a while. We're kind of particular about our yoga: we prefer an experienced, empathetic instructor, good space with soft lighting, good music selection, etc etc. My partner also has trouble with heated classes. We're very happy we tried out Symmetry Yoga. They have multiple great instructors (highly recommend Valerie), classes scheduled throughout the day and week, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Symmetry is a really special place: the yoga studio is new, quiet and bright. All of the teachers are top drawer and everyone is welcoming. There is even a small altar with fresh flowers. The classes there speak to the heart, mind and body. And did I mention there is parking AND a great natural foods market across the street!

Fantastic experience: Symmetry is a great studio! Clean, warm, and inviting for all levels of yogis. All the instructors I’ve tried classes with are excellent, providing lots of modifications to their flows to suit any preference and comfort level. I’ve only taken yoga classes here so far but I’m going to try power plate as well - it looks like fun!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy Power Plate Classes! Instructors keep variety in routine and you are able to get a good workout in 30 minutes.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I found Symmetry Yoga. Allison’s vinyasa flow classes have become my favorite part of the week! She excels in challenging you both physically and mentally, and she always keeps things fresh.

Fantastic experience: Symmetry Yoga is a gem in Alameda. The instructors are all very kind and patient. People of all levels feel welcome. The studio is nice with high raftors and the equipment provided is good. You will need to bring your own mat. There is a good variety of classes on almost every day, so you can find something that fits your schedule. While most attendees are women, men also attend classes. It is great exercise and very mentally refreshing and calming.

Fantastic experience: Nice environment...love the candlelit yoga and the warm flow. Good vibes. Surrounded by like minded people. Loving on Allison. :-)

Fantastic experience: Great place for yoga. It's community, supportive, clean, well run and very good yoga teachers.

Fantastic experience: Great online classes! Enjoyed 7 classes for free with great teachers during this hard SIP time!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Clean, well equipped and chemical sensitivity friendly. I recommend their plate classes and yoga.

Fantastic experience: Loving Symmetry! Tons of yoga classes, great yoga instructors, lovely yoga studio. I am hooked!

Fantastic experience: I love taking yoga classes at Symmetry. The space is big and beautiful and welcoming. Plenty of parking, too. So glad they're offering online classes currently. Anne Gregory's classes are the absolute best!! Simultaneously challenging and restorative.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic yoga studio! I've taken classes with at least 6 teachers, and each one is excellent. Classes tend to be pretty full but in a good way. Parking and check-in are convenient. The studio itself is a loft space (ceilings > 15 feet) so it feels very spacious and airy. There are many classes per day so easy find one that fits my schedule.

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed the yoga classes at Symmetry Yoga and Power Plate. I have taken classes in the evenings and weekend mornings and have enjoyed the variety of teachers and classes offered. I particularly enjoyed the classes on Saturday mornings and also the new Sunday morning class with Stacy. I guess I am more of a weekend warrior yoga enthusiast. I have also taken a power plate class and found it to be very interesting and different. It definitely peaked my interest in the use of vibrations in strength training workouts. I look forward to discovering my inner yoga practitioner with class from inspiring teachers!

Fantastic experience: My wife started going to Symmetry for a place to do Yoga...then she found out they had Power Plate classes!! She was hooked! She asked me to attend a class with her and after my 2nd workout I had the first pain-free sleep in a LONG time!! Having had StemCell Procedure done on both shoulders and my right knee in April of 2018, it just didn’t “take” because I was still in pain in both shoulders and knee. I’ll continue to attend and try the Chiropractic and Yoga services. So far I’m HOOKED too!

Fantastic experience: They have great instructors, simple booking system, clean and beautiful studio for yoga. I can make it to the classes after work on weekdays but weekend classes tend to be crowded.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the restorative yoga classes here for a while now(which can be hard to find at many studios) and love it here! The restorative classes also often include reiki which I am especially grateful to find. The studio is very clean and there are a variety of props to use, the space is very comforting. There is also parking on site. I've taken classes with many of the teachers here and can only say positive things - I recommend this studio highly!

Fantastic experience: Great yoga studio and overall experience! I've been taking yoga there for a few weeks with a variety of different teaches and everyone has been great. I highly recommend Symmetry Yoga!

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite yoga studio out of 7 that I’ve gone to in SF and Alameda. The classes are never too crowded. The ambiance is incredible. And every teacher I’ve had is quality. I highly recommend this studio if you’re in or near the area!

Fantastic experience: Great yoga studio! Each class I've attended has been different and challenged me in different ways. I'm glad to have started my practice up again with symmetry!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the yoga classes here. I go once a week, despite living half an hour away and having closer options. Effective workout, but still meditative.

Fantastic experience: I love attending Daniella’s prenatal yoga classes. She is an amazing instructor. The studio is also very clean and cozy. Love going there!!

Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with Symmetry yoga classes! I recently restarted my yoga practice and decided to try a class at Symmetry and I really liked it! I’ve been to several classes now and my experience has been consistent. The facility is clean and they have free parking. I love the relaxing and calm vibe of the yoga room. The natural light that comes in the big window only adds to the ambiance. Class size has not been an issue. The teachers I’ve had so far have all been very nice and helpful. My favorite class so far has been the warm yoga flow class on Tuesdays at noon with Odissa. They have mats you can rent if you don’t have one. Bathrooms are cute with free gum and tampons just in case. If there was one thing I would recommend to make the studio even better it would be to have the front desk staff (if they are there) be a little more welcoming. I’m definitely a fan of Symmetry!

Fantastic experience: I took a beginner’s yoga workshop with Aviva Levine at Symmetry about six weeks ago — I loved the class and was delighted by the space. It’s a clean, bright studio with a positive and welcoming energy. Since then, I’ve taken several yoga classes at Symmetry — I especially enjoy Gentle Yoga with Kirsten but really have gotten so much out of all the classes here. The instructors are uniformly kind and gentle with corrections, and they even provide tokens so you can indicate whether or not you’re comfortable with being touched during a correction. Even though I’m still a beginner, I’ve never felt judged or discouraged. I always leave feeling energized and happy. A great studio with lovely instructors.

Fantastic experience: Good studio! I like the yoga space, it feels spiritual and the teachers are good. I would recommend anyone in the area to check it out. I do wish the monthly price of ~$99 was lower. Although you get your first month for ~$49. My favorite teachers so far are Alison and Ana.

Fantastic experience: I’ve taken yoga on and off for about 10 years. I took one class and never stop thinking about how calm and relaxed I was afterwards. I also took a power plate class which helped ease my lower back pain which I’ve been suffering with for 2 years. The instructors and the front desk staff are amazing and super helpful. The instructors are so genuine! The vibe and energy here is unique and I love it!

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my experiences at Symmetry yoga and it has quickly become my go-to yoga studio. The instructors are all super friendly and knowledgeable, and definitely make newbies to yoga like myself feel comfortable. The space is really clean and the rooms all smell nice. Really there are no negatives with Symmetry that I’ve come across. Great studio!

Fantastic experience: I love this studio so much! The energy is amazing, the teachers are so friendly and knowledgeable and the hours work great with my schedule. I’ve been to so many studios in the Bay Area and this one is my favorite! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Love Winona's classes at Symmetry! Lovely yoga room, excellent teacher. When she had to move from her old location to Symmetry, I wasn't sure how it would be. But it's a very nice place to practice. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: This is my first experience with yoga. Must admit I was a bit apprehensive. Being a multi-sport athlete basically my whole life I never took stretching as seriously as I should have. I needed to find something that was a challenge so that I could feel like I was getting something out of becoming more flexible. Well I found everything I wanted here at yoga symmetry. They have several instructors who each have their own perspective and way of challenging you within the sessions. They make you feel welcome and no awkward even though I’m sure they can tell I’m a novice haha. I would definitely recommend this place to any guy who wants to balance out al that strength training and running. Like me, you will find yoga to be just as challenging and rewarding as a competitive sport.

Fantastic experience: The Power Plate classes vary greatly, depending on the instructor. The vibrating plate leads you to very effective stretching! It’s very nice to have a workout studio and a yoga studio in the same place. I’ve loved every yoga class I’ve taken.

Fantastic experience: This yoga studio is clean, welcoming, and is at a great location in Alameda. I would recommend this yoga studio for anyone who wants to explore yoga. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an expert at doing yoga. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable about their practice.

Fantastic experience: I started practicing at this studio about 6 weeks ago (switched between power plate and yoga) and I love how great these classes are! The instructors are very intuitive, knowledgeable and the space is compfy, warm and inviting. Definitely recommending checking it out!

Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed every yoga class and instructor that I have taken thus far at Symmetry and there have been many (at least 10). I highly recommend giving this place a try, it has a warm ambiance and the instructors are always welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Symmetry yoga for over a year, on and off and I absolutely love it! I’ve never had an instructor that wasn’t powerful in their practice. Everyone is so warm and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying classes at Symmetry. Nikki's class was just the right amount of challenging, plus she sang and played the ukulele! Classes are not overcrowded. Happy to find a good studio close to my new home.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I’ve been taking hatha and restorative classes with different instructors and all of them are really professional. They care about you giving you feedback about the different postures that you are performing. I highly recomend this studio!

Fantastic experience: I love this studio so much. It took me a while to settle down in Alameda and I was in search for a studio. The instructors are amazing and I am so happy when I leave class! I'm reenergized, relaxed, and fall in yoga more and more after classes here. 10 out of 10 would recommend Symmetry.

Fantastic experience: Every class I have taken at Symmetry Yoga is thoughtful and restorative. Between heated flows and peaceful morning sessions I always leave the studio feeling great. Happy to have such a wonderful studio and strong teachers just down the street.

Fantastic experience: Symmetry Yoga is a beautiful space with wonderful teachers. It's right next to a market I enjoy going to on Park St. in Alameda, and I had walked by it many times. I had always wanted to check it out. I finally went in a few months ago and the woman working was helpful and welcoming. I signed up a few months after my tour for their amazingly affordable trial month package and so far I'm very happy with Symmetry. I look forward to continuing my yoga practice at Symmetry Yoga.

Fantastic experience: I love this yoga and fitness studio. The yoga room is beautifully decorated, the props and equipment are new and the teachers are knowledgeable and talented. I feel calm in the surroundings and the classes offer the right mix of challenge and relaxation. I am happy to have found this gem! The Power Plate is fun, too!

Fantastic experience: I love, love, love Winona's yoga flow classes (Tuesdays and Fridays). She changes it up a lot, so it's never the same, and she incorporates a little meditation, humor, and a lot of encouragement. I can't say enough great things about her classes! I've been going to yoga off and on for a while but thanks to Winona and Symmetry I now have a more regular practice. And the Tuesday morning class is a reduced-fee community class! The facilities are really nice and clean, and it's totally worth trying out Power Plate too.

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite Yoga studios in the Bay! I really appreciate the small studio size which makes each practice so intimate. I have enjoyed each instructor so far and absolutely love with the studio’s beautiful decor.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful studio and great location. My favorite instructor is Savana, won't miss one of her classes! Just moved to Alameda, and I'm used to going to CorePower but there aren't any nearby. Symmetry has a good blend of mindfulness and physical practices.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite yoga spot in the East Bay! I enjoy the evening classes when it's dark outside but really every class I've taken is great. The instructors are true Yogi's, my favorite being Nikki. Her classes are calming and a great workout! Symmetry yoga classes are a good mix of stretching, spirituality and exercise. And it's easy to find parking!

Fantastic experience: The classes at Symmetry are thoughtful and well taught. I have taken classes with both Kristen and Ana and they give each of their students lots of attention. The studio is beautiful as well.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing space! The studio is modern and clean, and the altar at the front of the yoga room is my favorite. I enjoy Nikki’s vinyasa flow class and they have great workshops too! I’ve done a few of the power plate classes and those are fun and challenging as well. I’ve seen yoga and other therapies taking place there and I also want to get an adjustment by one of their practitioners. Overall it’s an inviting space focused on wellness and it has really good energy. I love coming here and hope to enjoy all they have to offer.

Fantastic experience: I have finally found my yoga home in CA. I’ve taught yoga all over the east bay and practiced in many studios here. Something about Symmetry just clicks. It’s very clean, has nice amenities, is easy to sign up and sign in to, and has a good number of classes each day so that I can make it in a few times a week! My new home away from home.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, frequent classes, and safe/comfortable setting. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: Totally love this studio! The instructors are great, the facilities are super nice and clean. There is an abundance of offerings both in service, instruction, retail, etc. The class schedule is on point, with classes offered throughout the day and evening. Can always find one that fits my availability. Classes are well attended, but not too full. Overall, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great studio with parking in Alameda, just over the Park St. bridge. The studio space is very calming and serene. The facilities are clean and they offer samples of quality products. I have really enjoyed the classes I’ve taken with Zen and with Orly. I definitely would recommend this studio to other yogis.

Fantastic experience: Great classes!

Positive experience: Clean and great facility. Most of their yoga classes are pretty basic so good place to calm and relax!

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed the yoga classes! I’m new to yoga, and I found the teachers really helpful and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Enjoying the space! After taking more than a year off yoga I was feeling nervous about the reentry . But the instructures were warm and inviting.

Fantastic experience: I love this little studio! It’s the best in Alameda. A great physical and spiritual workout.

Fantastic experience: Clean. Great yoga studio space and the classes I’ve attended have been great so far!

Fantastic experience: Lovely space; relaxing; intimate classes with helpful instructors.

Fantastic experience: They are amazing, super professional and so much friendly. I will highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good yoga studio! The flow classes are good and more active. Could keep the studio a bit warmer though.

Positive experience: Clean studio, solid teachers, decent price relative to other yoga studios in Bay. Class sizes are not too packed. Deduct one star because I wish there were more class offerings!

Fantastic experience: Teachers at Symmetry bring an energizing diversity in teaching styles. I really appreciate their commitment as well as their kindness and the passion they share.

Fantastic experience: The best! The power plate yoga classes are my favorite. All instructors are great.

Fantastic experience: I love symmetry yoga! It’s the best yoga experience I’ve had. I leave class feeling refreshed and centered every time!

Fantastic experience: Lovely space and talented teachers make Symmetry a good yoga destination. A welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Positive experience: Very happy with my trial month. Yoga classes are in a small room so you don't feel lost in a huge class. Class booking is incredibly easy. Teachers are attentive and offer modifications for more and less advanced poses although more intermediate/advanced flow classes would be nice. Love that there is a dedicated parking lot for the building. Edited to subtract a star - had one class that was a little warmer than I like but not unpleasantly so, and another that was way too warm and very uncomfortable. I know some people like hot yoga, for me it flares a health condition and as I'm already hyperflexible makes me worried about getting injured so I avoid anything labeled warm or heated. This class did Not have that anywhere in the description when I booked it. Thankfully all the other classes have been as described.

Positive experience: The power plate instructors have been great and seem very knowledgable--love having that new experience. The studio space is lovely. Good ventilation and lighting. The front desk could be more friendly and welcoming---usually feel as though they have something better they could be doing. The yoga instructors have been nice. However, as a physiotherapist and yoga therapist, I have not been impressed with the instructors introducing themselves to new students and asking about injuries prior to class. They may ask the group if there is anything going on, but in my experience, most people don't want to explain their issues in a group right as class is starting. And the instructors flippantly saying certain poses are good for anxiety or depression--a touchy thing not to be taken lightly in a yoga class if you don't have that expertise to discuss that. People around me appear to be struggling and instead of an alternate movement, being suggested to go further into the pose. Or a shoulder position suggested to be good for "shoulder issues" that I would not suggest for anyone with most shoulder issues (rotator cuff, labral tears, frozen shoulder, etc), except for maybe tight pectorals. I think touch at the end of class is lovely. But I think it should be announced and to be asked permission if it's ok to touch. If you come up to someone from behind during savasana without letting the class know you will be doing that (as was done in class), it might set off certain triggers, and not everyone wants to be touched. I'm all about keeping people safe with exploration of boundaries when I teach. Maybe I am expecting too much. And I know each teacher is different, but this happened in 3 different classes. As a PT, I don't know that I would recommend that my clients try a class there.

Positive experience: A wonderful combination of classes that provides both flexibility through Yoga, and strength/balance through PowerPlate. The facility is easy to use (has their own parking lot), and is always very clean and inviting. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional and skilled. The front desk is very helpful (and kind!). My husband and I are in training for a cross-country bike ride, so Symmetry provides a perfect place for us to get grounded. Highly Recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here since they opened and I love it. Such a beautiful studio with really great teachers. An added bonus is that they are the same space as the health center, in case you ever need anything.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to be a part of the wellness community at Symmetry as a Power Plate coach and guest yoga instructor. I have been most impressed by the inclusiveness of classes and special workshops designed to bring wellness to anyone whether they be a beginner or more experienced fitness practitioner. Symmetry is a place where true healing and strength building takes place.

Fantastic experience: I'm tremendously grateful for this beautiful studio & community! I love teaching yoga there, and I benefit greatly from all of the classes I take from the instructors at Symmetry.
