Guide to Yogalates in Berkeley
What is Yogalates?
Yogalates is a fusion workout that combines yoga and Pilates into a single practice. Developed in the 1990s by Australian instructor Louise Solomon, it blends the deep core activation of Pilates with the breath-led movement and postural awareness of yoga. A typical yogalates class moves through Pilates-based exercises to engage the subtle core muscles, then incorporates yoga asanas (postures) to build flexibility, mobility, and mindful body awareness. Classes usually begin and end with savasana.
Unlike a standard yoga class, yogalates puts deliberate emphasis on your deep stabilizing muscles — particularly around the lower back and pelvis. Unlike a standalone Pilates class, it incorporates standing sequences, hip-opening postures, and meditation elements. The result is a balanced, low-impact workout suitable for all fitness levels.

How to Spot a Yogalates Class in Berkeley
Studios rarely advertise classes under the "yogalates" name — but the practice is widespread under different labels. Here's what to look for when browsing the schedules below:
- ✓"Yoga Sculpt" or "Sculpt Flow" — typically combines Vinyasa yoga with Pilates-inspired core and toning work
- ✓"Core Yoga" or "Yoga Core" — emphasizes Pilates-derived abdominal and spinal stabilization within a yoga sequence
- ✓"Yoga Fusion" — a general hybrid that often draws from Pilates, barre, or functional fitness
- ✓"Mat Pilates + Yoga" — the most direct equivalent; some studios list these as a combined offering
- ✓"Power Yoga" — not always yogalates, but classes that layer core challenges onto standard power sequences come close
What to Expect at a Yogalates Class in Berkeley
Most yogalates classes in Berkeley run 50 to 75 minutes. You'll typically start lying on a mat with breath awareness and gentle core activation, then progress into a Pilates-based sequence targeting the deep abdominal and spinal muscles. The second half of class shifts into yoga-style standing and floor postures, with holds that build both strength and flexibility. Classes close with a longer savasana (final relaxation) than a typical Pilates session.
Bring a yoga mat, water, and wear fitted clothing — loose garments can get in the way during mat-based Pilates movements. Most studios in Berkeley offer mat rentals if you're new. Drop-in classes typically range from $25 to $44; many studios offer intro-month deals for first-time students.
