Renew Yoga

I returned to Renew to give it another chance after a friend recommended the yoga there. I received a warm welcome and had a nice and relaxing session with a wonderful teacher. I ended up signing up for a package and enjoyed the studio and all the teachers are great. I’m glad I went back and didn’t let the one less than ideal experience I had years prior keep me from finding out what a nice studio it is. The person I encountered the first time must no longer work there as I never saw her after I joined.

Elizabeth’s and Pam’s classes are wonderful! After moving to the bay area a couple of years ago, I struggled to find a yoga environment that was both nurturing and physically nourishing, without a pretentious atmosphere. Renew was it. I feel restored and satisfied and left feeling stronger, leaner and more energetic.
The only down side is that the classes get extremely packed and I felt like a sardine squished in a can. I love sharing my yoga space but not if I constantly get someone else on my mat during poses. I would recommend cutting the class sizes down a little and then they would be perfect!

Such an amazing, welcoming, loving and wonderful community. There really are not enough adjectives to describe my experience for this yoga studio. I moved to Petaluma a little over a year ago and was looking for yoga classes that would not only make me want to work out but also open me up spiritually, physically and mentally. And Renew Yoga did just that. I loved taking classes with every teacher here; Pam’s classes always left me feeling wholesome and peaceful; Elizabeth’s classes made me feel challenged and ready to take it to the next level; Amy’s classes always made me sweat and I knew I would always leave her class energized; Helaine’s class made me feel limber, calm and self aware. I am so grateful to have stumbled on an amazing studio that offers much more than yoga. I hope anyone who comes here gets that same experience.

love, love, love Renew with Pamela and Elizabeth. Vinyasa yoga with soul :)

Great little yoga studio. Found it while I was in Petaluma for a few months for work. Pam is so welcoming and the studio is comfortable and calming. Definitely will miss it!

I really do love Renew Yoga. I am somewhat new to Yoga in general and have only gone to a couple of studios but this one is awesome. The studio itself has an incredible ambiance with dark wooden floors, high ceilings, and a temple feel. I have had both Pam and Elizabeth as instructors and both are great. Elizabeth in particular is incredible. She speaks and enunciates in such a way that really helps make the experience great. This coupled with the music she chooses for the background is really wonderful.

I love this place. I recently brought my friend who had done a little yoga at home, but was really intimidated by yoga classes especially heated ones, after she said she loved it and is addicted. An hour class is probably a good place to start. For anyone who is nervous just let me say, atmosphere is really non-​judgmental and the heat is really quite nice once you start moving! Highly recommend. I love attending these classes!

My life has changed because of the women who carry this studio with such grace and wisdom. Pam and Elizabeth are my rocks. The studio is hardcore on the vinyasa workout side, but you definitely get your meditation in. I have learned so much about myself, the way I interact with the world, and how to be a better person because of Renew. I have gone to yoga for years, but now I do yoga thanks to my favorite ladies!

I recently injured my knee and just finished Physical therapy and I used reformers at PT! I started at Renew with Ava Motter in two private sessions and then equipment classes and Booty Bare! Ava was excellent! She was always aware of my knee issue and kept me safe! My knee is so much better! Ava is an excellent instructor and very considerate in doing exercises in a safe manner! Booty Bare is a fun workout! Go see Ava today!

I love Renew Yoga. I have been taking yoga classes for about 5 years now and Renew is by far the best Yoga experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been practicing here for over a year now, and I literally can’t go to Yoga anywhere else without being disappointed. Pam and Elizabeth are amazing. They mix just the right amount of spiritually in with each class. The flow is incredible. And the temperature in the room is just hot enough to get loose and for the sweat to flow — but not too hot (like bikram yoga, where you feel like fainting).
The building itself is absolutely beautiful, with high ceilings — it has a very open, spiritual feeling to it. I have always felt welcome here.

This is the BEST yoga studio I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been practicing yoga, on and off, for over a decade. The way they vary the sequence, the approach, the verbal reminders to take this at your own pace, and grounding in a thought before practice begins make this such a rich experience.
If you are a beginner, don’t give up. This sequence will have hard spots for anyone, and a Vinyasa Flow class just «flows» from one posture to the next. You WILL get the hang of it. Don’t be scared away by the «heated» rooms, either. You will truly be okay in a t-​shirt and cropped yoga pants. The warmth helps to loosen up the muscles. It’s never sweltering, the way it is in a Bikram studio.

Best yoga studio in Sonoma County! Wish I could practice here everyday. I love this place and highly recommend practicing at this studio.

This studio is fantastic! Pam is so great and positive in everyway. She is always in a great mood with a huge smile! I feel so great after her class. One of the best things about this class is the way she helps you with your pose so your getting the maximum benefit from the class. If your looking for a great enviorment with a great workout, this is for you. I would recommend this class for anyone and everyone, its a must!

Great studio! I’m in town for business and was looking for a place to take a drop in class — glad I stumbled onto this one! Wonderful studio — really welcoming (they didn’t rent me a yoga mat — they let me borrow one). I had never taken a heated yoga class before but it was amazing, the instructor was excellent, she even gently corrected me (which I really like).

This is a wonderfully welcoming, tranquil and engaging yoga studio. Friendly staff and members. I am relatively new to yoga and tend to be nervous to try a new class by myself, but it was a great experience and would recommend Renew Yoga to anyone who is thinking of joining.

I had tried another yoga studio the day before and it wasnt for me. So, I tried this one. I loved the room, it was inviting, comfortable and had a positive energy. The class (slow flow) was the perfect amount of challenging, yet not so demanding I wouldnt commit. I would! I LOVED IT. I worked up a sweat, was able to focus on the poses, take it all in to learn, and felt great afterwards.
I was sore, but only in a good way. I knew I worked out, but could totally still move and function the next day! The after effects lasted well after the class. I would do it 4 times a week, if they offered this beginning class more often. So, until I feel more ready to take on an intermediate class, I unfortunately am going to other studios with the same time frame that offer beginner classes. Although, I would stick with this one if it was offered more than on Monday. The instructor, Pamela made me feel welcome and was very nice. For the first time I felt like I knew what all the fuss was about with Yoga. I am now loving it also! Fellow students were also very welcoming and nice. I cant wait to go back!

This is a special place I found by accident one day while visiting Petaluma. It’s in an exquisite old building so the studio has wonderful high ceilings and polished dark wood floors. The teacher and owner Pamela was sublime. Challenging enough for experienced yoginis, yet peaceful and centering. A wonderful mixed-​level class. I really recommend checking this spot out to anyone.

I decided to come in for some personal training work and I have been working for 2 months with Terri Rivero: She is amazing. She is always positive, has taught me good posture, stretching and most important created a healthy exercise habit I never thought I would have! Money well spent.

Awesome classes.
Exceptional teachers.
Great workout.

Honestly the BEST yoga class I have ever been to.
I live in Los Angeles, but grew up in Petaluma. Usually when I am home it is only for a day or two, but I try my hardest to make it to Pamela’s Power Yoga. It has now become my first priority of «things I need to do while home»
I have taken a lot of yoga classes, and this tops them all. Pamela’s workout is the perfect blend of strength, meditation, relaxation, and pushing yourself to the limits. She does poses that I have never seen in a power vinyasa class. I used to be a gymnast and always have trouble actually stretching my muscles to their capacity, and boy did her class do it!!! I was sore for 3 days!
The 90 minutes focuses on all areas of the body, so you literally feel strong, toned, accomplished, and purified when you leave. It makes you feel great for the entire day.
And its not even that expensive. $ 13 for a drop in class!
This class is not for beginners, but for all your Petaluma yogi’s out there, get to Pam’s workout.
