Metta Yoga — Marin County's Most Dynamic Boutique Yoga Studio Community, With Three Locations Across the County Metta Yoga blends physically invigorating classes with grounded, community-centered practice across Corte Madera, San Rafael, and Sausalito.

The word metta is a Pali term meaning loving kindness - the practice of cultivating unconditional goodwill toward yourself and all living beings. It is a fitting name for what founder Amy set out to create in Marin County in 2017: not just a yoga studio, but a genuine community built around the belief that yoga should be physically invigorating, spiritually grounding, and joyful all at once. That vision has grown into one of the Bay Area's most loved wellness communities.

Metta Yoga was created to bring a boutique, community-focused yoga studio to Marin County that is edgy and fun, yet still deeply rooted in yogic tradition - with locations in Corte Madera, San Rafael, and Cloudbreak in Sausalito. Three studios, one cohesive community, and a shared mission reflected in every class and teacher.

Founded from the Heart - A Marin Mother's Leap of Faith

In 2017, Amy took a leap of faith and opened Metta Yoga in Corte Madera to bring the type of yoga she wanted in her own neighborhood: spiritually and physically invigorating classes in a close-knit boutique environment. Her background as a dancer, athlete, professional, and mother of three shaped a style that is dynamic, graceful, challenging, and deeply practical for modern life.

The Classes - Physically Vigorous, Spiritually Grounded, and Genuinely Diverse

Metta's teaching team curates vigorous asana flows paired with spirituality and mental grounding. The schedule spans fiery vinyasa, heated classes, restorative offerings, sound healing, breathwork, aerial yoga, fitness fusion, and pre/postnatal programming through Metta Mama. Pop-up classes, live music flows, workshops, and guest teachers keep the schedule fresh for all levels.

With three Marin locations, students can explore different teachers, room energies, and class styles depending on what they need on a given day - whether that is challenge, recovery, strength, or calm.

World-Class Teachers Rooted in the Marin Community

Metta's instructors include E-RYT 500 teachers and practitioners trained across diverse traditions and geographies, including Mysore, Tokyo, Washington D.C., and the Bay Area. Their backgrounds span Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar, dance, pranayama, and myofascial work, giving students meaningful variety while maintaining a cohesive community feel.

Beyond the Studio - Retreats, Teacher Training & More

Metta extends beyond daily classes with international retreats, teacher trainings (200-hour, 300-hour, and 500-hour), and specialty intensives in breathwork, sound healing, kids yoga, and creative sequencing. The Metta Mama program supports prenatal and postpartum students with focused classes, workshops, and community.
