Yoga Nirvana on a Budget (June 8th, 2009)

Calling itself "a center for movement, bodywork and personal inner work," this Lower Pacific Heights facility boats two large yoga studios and ten massage rooms. (Big bonus: separate changing rooms and shower for women and men.) Co-owner Hillary Bergman is devoted to providing "affordable massage to the largest number of people"; at $66 for an hour and $98 for a 1 hour session (with more than 50 therapists on staff!), she is certainly on track here. With 15 years in the community and tons of devotes, it's clear that The Mindful Body is doing something very right.

Regular massages keep me going, and I have always received phenomenal massage here. There is a yoga class for all levels and the instructors are superb. I like to give their three-session trail as gifts to my friends.
