On Tuesday, July 14, Folk Yoga turns 28.
Before we were Folk Yoga, we were Castro Yoga — a neighborhood studio rooted in practice, community, and the simple belief that yoga could be a place where people came not just to move, but to belong.
Since 1998, so much has changed. Names have changed. Studios have grown. Teachers, students, and communities have moved through different seasons of life. But at the heart of it all, one thing has stayed the same: the people.
Our community has always been what makes Folk, Folk.
Over the years, these studios have held so much more than yoga classes. They’ve held friendships, laughter, quiet breakthroughs, sweaty practices, first yoga classes, teacher training journeys, life transitions, and the everyday magic of people showing up for themselves and one another.
For 28 years, our teachers, staff, students, neighbors, and friends have helped shape this community into what it is today. We are endlessly grateful.
So this birthday, we’re celebrating the only way we know how — by coming together on the mat.
Celebrate With Us: $12 Birthday Pop-Up Classes
As a nod to our earliest days in 1998, select birthday pop-up classes will be offered at a special $12 drop-in rate — similar to what a single drop-in class cost when Folk Yoga first began.
It’s our little throwback, our birthday treat, and an invitation to come flow with us.
Whether you’ve been practicing with us for years or are just finding your way into the studio, we’d love to have you there.
Come flow with us — your presence means so much. Book your class here.
Folk Founding Membership Is Back
To continue the celebration, we’re also bringing back our Folk Founding Membership for one week only.
For $1,625, you can lock in our lowest-ever annual membership rate — inspired by the pricing from our founding days.
This offer is available through July 20 and can be activated within 2 months of purchase, so you have flexibility around when your year of practice begins.
It’s a chance to commit to a full year of movement, consistency, community, and care — at a rate we only bring back for special moments like this.
Learn more about the membership and purchase here.
Thank You for 28 Years
Folk Yoga exists because of the people who have practiced here, taught here, worked here, trained here, laughed here, cried here, and kept coming back.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Thank you for choosing practice.
Thank you for helping us build a community that continues to grow, evolve, and hold space for so many.
Here’s to 28 years of Folk Yoga — and to everything still to come.
Come celebrate with us. Book a class, bring a friend, and flow into this next chapter together 🧡🤸♀️💖
