Park Yoga is a wonderful studio. I have been going to Robert Gray's classes since about 2000! He is an incredible, compassionate, funny, warm, very experienced yoga teacher, and easily my favorite of many yoga teachers I've had over the decades. Highly recommend his classes and this studio.

Robert is genuinely a lovely person with a big heart. After going to his classes for years, I am convinced I won’t be able to find a better yoga teacher. His directions are clear and precise. He is very observant, constantly checking and helping you to advance in your poses. Robert is an attentive and intuitive teacher who adapts every pose to work for everyone in the room. Each class is energizing yet totally calming, and there’s always something new to learn. I love Robert’s yoga class. It is more than a class, it is a community that I am honored to be part of. And by the way, he has a great sense of humor!

I drive from Berkeley just to take Robert's class. The studio spacious and light-filled and the instruction as much an invitation to thoughtfully explore yourself as it is a yoga class.

I highly recommend Robert’s teaching. He is one of the most accomplished and best established Yoga teachers in the bay area. He creates a wonderful experience in class, describes, demonstrates, and individually assists students very effectively and has a sound knowledge of Yoga philosophy as well as anatomy. It's so nurturing and uplifting to practice at Park Yoga.

Robert's teaching style is knowledgeable and provided clear instructions. He demonstrated each pose with attention to alignment and encouraged everyone to work at their own pace.
The studio has a calming atmosphere with plenty of natural light. It is clean and well-maintained, which made it easy to relax and focus. The class is well-structured; starting with a gentle warm-up and progressing to more challenging poses. There is a good balance between relaxation and physical activity, leaving me feeling refreshed. The day that i can't come to class, I fell like something is missing in my day. I love Park Yoga!

I have been one of Robert's students for over thirty years. His classes are always excellent. He is well versed in the Iyengar style and his classes are fun because he has a wonderful sense of humor. He welcomes everyone, whether they are at their best or working through injuries. He really cares about his students and it shows. I highly recommend him.

I tend to think of creating a Yoga posture is like playing a chord on a piano. When it feels true each note is in harmony. With Robert’s insightful instructions I can tune that note that’s a little off and complete the posture so it rings true. Robert is a master of the Isengard method of teaching.

Robert has that rare quality in a teacher in his ability to truly see where I'm at physically when I arrive at the studio, and all the ways I can transform with ease and grace into a stronger, happier, and more flexible me.

I've been going to Robert's yoga class for a number of years now. He is a wonderful teacher! What I like most is he understands that all of his students' bodies are different, that not all of us can do everyt pose and many of us are not as flexible as he is. He's very conscious about giving us alternative poses that accomplish the same goal. I always feel so much better after a class and I appreciate him.

After having attended many different yoga classes over the years, this is the class that I have stayed with. Very good for beginner as well as for more advanced students. If I take time off my body starts to complain! Robert has a wonderful sense of humor and provides gentle and caring guidance. I am so grateful.

Robert is a wonderful yoga teacher. I have been taking his classes for 20 years, the last 2 years via Zoom. He is knowledgeable, talented and skillful, with a warm and welcoming manner, as well as a delightful sense of humor. Robert understands and appreciates that each student brings a unique set of life circumstances to the practice. He adapts his instruction to support individual needs and goals, gently exploring the perceived/real limits of the body. I have learned from Robert that, with patience, over time, change is possible. I am grateful for what Robert has taught me over the years and am happy to continue the journey.

Robert Gray is the best yoga instructor with whom I have ever attended classes. I have been taking classes with him for more than ten years. He adapts each posture to the students capabilities, while describing how the posture is working physiologically. Looking forward to in person classes again.

I have enjoyed classes at the Park Boulevard Yoga Center for a few years now and I look forward to the return to the newly renovated space. Robert is a great teacher, his classes are always informative, satisfying and enjoyable. He has a unique ability to pass on his vast knowledge in a light-hearted manner, and he pays attention to each student individually, their needs and health issues, adjusting the programme as needed. One of the best yoga experiences I've had!

Robert is an outstanding yoga instructor. I was a beginner when I began taking his classes 20 years ago. He appreciated where I was at and he is always supportive and encouraging. For me his classes strike an excellent balance of hard work and meditative spirituality.

Robert is a very attentive teacher and has been doing his amazing, zen yet detailed teaching of yoga for a very long time. I can't wait for the new studio to open and to be able to come back to class/sanctuary.

It's great to do yoga in a place that welcomes everyone. Robert skillfully manages all levels in his classes and over time working with him will deepen your practice and the knowledge of your body and how to maximize your practice. I love that he incorporates a variety of poses, some anatomy explanations, balance work and humor. The people who come to the classes are supportive of each other and welcoming.

I have been a student of yoga instructor Robert Gray for over 4 years: the first two in person at Park Boulevard Yoga Center, and since then, online due to COVID 19. If you are looking for a yoga class that's taught by a seasoned instructor who teaches his classes free of any new age mumbo jumbo and really focuses on you connecting and moving your body to the best of your ability (with a touch of humor along the way), you should try one of Robert's many class offerings throughout the week. Once I did, I found a yoga home, and look forward to attending his classes in person once again as soon as construction on the new, renovated Park Boulevard Yoga Center is complete in November 2022.

Wow, Robert has been teaching a looooong time and he’s always been great at it. Robert knows how to work with all levels of practitioners of yoga. His lessons are skilled and planned, but also spontaneous. Robert will sensitively assist you in your poses if you like. He’s also funny and compassionate. A great teacher that I’m thankful for!

This is a very welcoming and positive yoga experience. Robert is a wonderful teacher - able to clearly convey 'how to' with his explanations and an occasional physical assist. And he has a great sense of humor, keeping the mood light.
