I went to one class here taught by Erin Gilmore and really enjoyed her instruction. However, after attempting to take more classes here, I decided I will not be returning. Yoga Flow Union makes it very difficult to book through Class Pass. The window for booking closes one hour before class starts, which sounds reasonable on the surface, but is really annoying when you aren't sure exactly what time you will get home or get off work to make a yoga class. Other upper tier studios in the city do not have this policy and allow you to book pretty much up until the class starts. Yoga Flow Union also only allows you to take ONE class per month at the normal cost on Class Pass. Then they significantly raise the amount of points you have to spend per class.
Unfortunately, yoga as it is practiced in San Francisco is only intended for people who have the means to spend hundreds of dollars per month. The rest of the have-nots do not have access to the same quality of teachers. When I asked Yoga Flow Union if I could get the new student special, they said I didn't qualify because I had already taken one class here (through Class Pass) before. So shame on me for not taking advantage of the new student special first before I used Class Pass. It's just ridiculous how they try to squeeze every last dollar out of you. Some of my critique applies generally to all bougie yoga studios in the city, which I can put up with to some extent, but Yoga Flow Union has made it especially hard to book classes if you prefer the flexibility and pricing structure of Class Pass.
