our beginning
it all started 11 Years ago…
My name is Rachel Rajput, and I founded Left Coast Power Yoga in 2013 to bring a challenging, heated Power Yoga studio to the Oakland community. We started in our original small space on Grand Avenue, which we still have open today.
At Left Coast, we are a beautiful community of misfits. Our community spans all sizes, shapes, colors, and genders. We are working folks: 9 to 5-ers, self-employed peeps, techies, soccer moms, gig workers, waitresses, teachers, and just about everything else you can think of. We have one thing in common: we are lifelong learners of the yoga practice.
We have “followed our practice” and it has brought us here. Over the years, our community has grown exponentially and we now offer classes, workshops, retreats, and more. We are in year seven of our Yoga Teacher Training program!
We hope you will join us to see what Power Yoga is all about!
