Welcome to
Lotusland Yoga SF
Your sanctuary in the city
Formerly Laughing Lotus Yoga Center on 16th Street, the new incarnation of our 25 year Yoga history invites you to explore different styles, levels and practices of yoga on a sliding-scale and donation basis. Our mission is to make the timeless practices of Yoga accessible in an intentionally inclusive and more intimate space that is dedicated to offering you more personal attention and fostering community connection. Whether you prefer a fun, sweaty flow with a soulful playlist and chanting, arm balances and inversions or a class that is more meditative and nurturing with spacious silence and deep relaxation to workshops and teacher trainings— We’ve got you covered!

All our classes and teachers aim to support and deepen your practice by sharing all 8 limbs of yoga as a way of life. From basic flow to begin your practice or advanced 2/3 classes to challenge yourself, you will stretch and strengthen your body, awaken your spirit, and calm and quiet your mind for a wholistic approach to Yoga and wellness that addresses the whole person with the intention of being of benefit to our world. In nearly every offering you can expect expert teachings to embody Yoga’s essential philosophy of union with the Self and the universe through asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation and relaxation.
