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 โ 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.
People who want core strength, flexibility, and postural improvement in one session
Yogalates is ideal for those who want the meaningful benefits of yoga and Pilates in a single class. Best for people with postural issues, lower back weakness, or those returning from injury who need a structured low-impact workout. Also excellent for desk workers, new mothers, and anyone wanting a balanced practice that works the deep core alongside flexibility.

Studios rarely advertise classes under the "yogalates" name โ but the practice is widespread under different labels. Here's what to look for when browsing the schedules below:
Most yogalates classes in Oakland 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 โ loose garments can get in the way during mat-based Pilates movements. Most studios in Oakland offer mat rentals if you're new. Drop-in classes typically range from around $28; many studios offer intro-month deals for first-time students.
