Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a soulful, safe, enthusiastic, and dedicated community in which to develop your yoga practice and experience the many fruits that come from that practice. We aim to bring back the spiritual content of yoga, which has been diluted in recent years due to the commercialization of yoga.

About Our Founder
My name is Tony Carr, and I am the owner of Yoga College of India, Oakland. I am passionate about providing a form of Bikram yoga that is pure and proven. I believe that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a spiritual pursuit that can bring people together and help them achieve their full potential.

Pros and Cons
The studio is appreciated for its traditional Bikram yoga practice, which is hard to find. The staff is friendly, and the studio is great for new yogis. However, some reviewers noted that the carpeted floor was not expected, and the owner was disrespectful over the phone.
