About Us One of SF’s most beloved independent woman-owned yoga studios. We are so honored to introduce you to the newest incarnation of our center, fondly called “The Lotus” as it has danced through many forms for 26 years! This space is an homage to our humble roots in the village in NYC when we opened the doors to our first simple sanctuary in 1999, nestled over a jazz bar and next door to the legendary StoneWall on Christopher Street.
