The Yoga Studio

The Yoga Studio (TYSTM) was opened on Sept 28, 2010. TYSTM introduced Aerial Yoga to the Bay Area and was immediately featured on KTVU News, and later appeared on Andaaz TV, Get Real TV with Brian Stuckey and Zenrez. One year after its grand opening, TYSTM introduced a new form of Aerial Yoga called TYSTM Aerial Yoga. With the success of the TYSTM' Aerial Yoga program many have asked "why not change the name to The Aerial Studio?" The answer is simple; the success behind our Aerial classes is our deep roots in Traditional Yoga. Pik Chu, the owner of TYSTM, sees Aerial Yoga as traditional Yoga using the aerial hammock as a versatile Yoga prop, so our Traditional Yoga classes are actually our secret sauce.

TYSTM was built upon the goal of providing Yoga to practitioners who want to experience traditional Yoga rather than Yoga as exercise. The name of the studio reflects this simple concept. Our classes emphasize the TYSTM "3R" technique. A transformation cannot happen until we are willing to:

· let go of the old, to "Release"

· trust and surrender yourself to a new pattern, to "Realign"

· gain greater awareness, strength and flexibility, to "Rebuild"

All the teachers at TYSTM discourage competition while encouraging oneself to honor the body and allow Yoga to create long lasting changes. The result is what Pik Chu calls the "Transformation Through Practice", in the mind, body and spirit.
