Yoga at the Mercantile

I can’t say enough good things about this studio; we are so lucky to have Marissa La Brecque in our midst. Port Costa is a funky little town, and if you know it, your first thought might be «a yoga studio? How does THAT fit?» …and the answer is: perfectly. Marissa has created a welcoming, comfortable space (complete with tea) that somehow is both clean and clear while being comfortable and laid-​back in classic PC style. It’s a great space to practice in.
Additionally, she herself is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking classes from. Confident without being overbearing, very attentive to individual needs, and with a great sense of humor to boot. I truly feel like I get to a deeper expression of poses I’ve been doing for years every time I go.
This little studio has just opened and has 1 – 2 daily offerings for now, but Marissa has lots more in the works and it will be wonderful to see it blossom. Highly recommended– go get a new-​student special (3 classes for $ 20, yo!) and see for yourself.
