Question 1

About Our Founder

Accepted Answer

Meet Natasha 
Born and raised in a small town in Belarus, Natasha grew up surrounded by forest, music, and garden. From an early age, she participated in harvesting food, foraging mushrooms each fall, and spending summers on her grandmother’s farm - weeding strawberries, caring for animals, making jams, and blending herbal health potions. Helping on the farm of her grandparents, who were full-time teachers during the school year, shaped her values of discipline: rising with the roosters, service, continuous learning, and community.
A graduate of a seven-year classical piano pre-conservatory program, and later a student of Judo while in business school, Natasha came to understand strength not as force, but as gentleness, patience, steadiness, and an unwavering will to grow.

After leaving her home country, she dreamed of finding freedom and a supportive community that felt like home. After 5 years of arriving in the U.S., she found herself living with chronic pain, sense of loneliness, and lacking a purpose, and it was through daily yoga,  fitness, and caring connections that came with it, she began to feel better. 
In her recovery process, she studied and trained in Bhakti Yoga, Engaged Yin, and Pilates, and graduated from the Spiritual Psychology program at the University of Santa Monica. Those teachings became the foundation of her life’s work:  a practice of uniting body, mind, and spirit with compassion and purpose.  She opened Glow Yoga & Wellness as a sanctuary where people can recover from chronic pain, rebuild strength, peace, and sense of belonging. 
For more than fourteen years, Glow has offered an intentional, heart-centered approach to wellness - blending the power of resistance training with yoga and the recovery benefits of massage.

Now after 20 years of being here, Natasha is still and always in love with San Francisco and it's unique beauty, resilience, and spirit of advocating for the greater good.  She is devoted to making this city even more vibrant, healthy and neighborly.

With all that said, what makes Glow truly special isn’t Natasha - it’s you. It’s our members, neighbors - everyday San Franciscans who show up with open hearts, big dreams, and willingness to do hard work taking care of themselves and each other. Glow is loved for its friendly, non-intimidating and beautiful environment, intentional classes, and inspiring team who're here to support you through every season of life.

Question 2

I am new to Glow, what should I know?

Accepted Answer

Welcome to North Beach's wellness club, an active community that shares self-care, nature adventures, and supports each other through challenges.

Fourteen years ago, from day one, Glow shook things up with an integrated approach: Yoga for mobility, balance and peace, Pilates with Resistance Strength Training for stability and power, and Massage for reducing pain, inflammation, fostering recovery and balance. This powerful trio was the heart, the unique method of Glow Yoga & Wellness, and it’s still what makes us so effective today.  Natasha created Glow with a very specific vision - for the neighborhood community to have access to the life-changing trio that turned things around for her. If you’ve ever wondered why we do things differently at Glow, this is the reason: this wasn’t just a business idea; it was personal. After years of struggling with chronic neck pain, it was this trio of modalities recommended by her doctor, that helped her heal and reclaim her life.

- YOGA, RESISTANCE STRENGTH TRAINING, and QUALITY RECOVERY ARE THE 3 PILLARS OF THE GLOW WELLNESS PROGRAM.

We are loved for intentional fitness with a holistic approach for longevity, and our friendly and supportive environment. Unlike most fitness studios in the city, our members age ranges from 20 to 80. Our mission is to make your workouts so enjoyable, that you'll ditch Netflix for Move-Fix, and dedicate two+ hours of your week to glow-getting, getting stronger, and more incredible at being you. At Glow, we believe holistic self-care is more than exercise, it’s a source of confidence, wisdom, resilience, peace, and joy.

We're located right in the heart of picturesque North Beach, and our members easily walk from Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Pac Heights, Fidi, South Beach, and Soma, to get their 10k step goals in. Please enjoy tea in our lounge and make friends - we are healthier in a supportive community! 
If you dream of an effective routine that lasts a lifetime - Glow is your perfect place. Challenges intertwine with mindfulness to feel purposeful in all your efforts, and we're here to keep you inspired to never quit on your health again. You can try 10 completely different classes in just one week - and we know there will be a few you will not want to live without. Get ready to transform your strengthening routine and kiss goodbye to chronic tension.

- If you're around for a week - begin with our $49 1-WEEK TRIAL.(https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=15902&stype=40&prodid=214) Your 7 days of selfcare will activate on your first reservation, and end with a $20 Glow Gift Card 🌟 if you complete 5+ classes. Chat with us when you do - we'll add $20 to your account. The example of 7 calendar days: Mon-Sun, or Tue-Mon etc. You also can earn $20 Gift Card every single month with our Selfcare Rewards. See 'Rewards' Question below.

- Online reservations are a must (no surprise guests allowed). We don't assist with reservations via email/phone. We will happily train you in-person on how to manage your online account and book your reservations. To book or cancel your visit, see a 'How To Book/Cancel Reservations' Question below.
- Please plan to show up at least 5 minutes early, or better, 10 minutes early! Make some tea, sit down, enjoy our foot massager, make a new friend.

A+B OF LIFELONG WELLNESS: HOW TO DESIGN YOUR IDEAL ROUTINE

A. If your goal is to build strength and flexibility: please book Glow Flow, Barre, Pilates, and KettleBuns classes 2-3 times a week. These 4 classes are all resistance strength training blended with dynamic stretching. For sustainability, it's best to mix them up, do not only take Flow, or only Barre, or only KettleBells. To gain strength and muscle density - taking 3 strength classes a week gives the best results. Strength Training is essential for powerful aging.

B. For recovery, clearing burnout, tension-pain-inflammation buildup, anxiety, insomnia, or restlessness: enjoy a monthly Massage with Red Light at our Spa, PLUS 2-3 weekly classes: our decadent Happy Hour Retreats: Hot Stones Yin on Fridays 4:30p, SoundBaths on Thursdays 6:30p, as well as weekly Hatha Yoga, Recovery Lab with Massage, Restore+Reiki, and Meditation classes. Please learn about our  Parasympathetic Rebalancing Program here.(https://www.glowyogasf.com/pns) And, book a regular Facial at our Spa - reward yourself for all your efforts.
A (STRENGTH)+ B (RECOVERY) = Wellness. We cannot skip either step: both, strengthening AND recovery build the most sustainable and effective weekly self-care routine.

Question 3

What Makes Glow Method Effective Long-Term?

Accepted Answer

The truth we don’t talk about enough: when we start doing too much of the same thing every day: only sitting, only strength training, only playing tennis, only doing yoga, only running, only walking, and (let’s be honest) skipping our monthly massage - our body eventually starts to protest. Chronic pain and repetitive strain injuries are real, and they’re our bodies' way of saying, “Mix it up!” Without yoga  - we will naturally lose our mobility with age, without resistance training - we lose our power with muscle/bone, without massage - our muscles tighten and lose their range of motion. All above mentioned signs aging deeply affects our mental state, how we feel and the overall quality of our life. But, we're here to help you Glow-getting at any age!

"Self-care gives the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you."  - Katie Reed

In the end, lasting wellness is about balance, variety, and listening to what your body needs to prepare for years to come.

DESIGN YOUR IDEAL ROUTINE: A+B OF LIFELONG WELLNESS:
​
A. For Strength and flexibility: book Glow Flow, Core Flow Barre Burn, Pilates Core, and KettleBell classes 2-3 times a week. These 4 classes blend resistance strength training with dynamic stretching.
 
B. For all recovery, healing inflammation, anxiety, insomnia: enjoy a monthly Massage with Red Light, plus 2-3 weekly classes: Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Recovery Lab with Massage, Restore+Reiki, Meditation, and our decadent SoundBath on Thursdays 6:30p, Hot Stones Yin on Fridays 4:30p, Yin+Massage on Mondays 7:40p.

Question 16

ClassPass at Glow: Only for 1st Visit

Accepted Answer

We love welcoming new guests through ClassPass as a first visit, but to support our teachers fairly, we don't allow repeat ClassPass visits. Your memberships and passes purchased directly from us, allow us to pay our teachers better and keep dollars in the local community. Please do come visit, sneak peek where your neighbors have been getting strong, serene, and flexible for the last 15 years, and join us - we’d love to welcome you as a member or a pack-holder. 💖

Why We Limit Repeat ClassPass Visits

• ClassPass compensates studios at only a fraction of the class value
 • Our teachers deserve to be paid fairly for their care and expertise
 • We’re a community-forward local studio, not a franchise
 • Member-based community fosters safety, personal attention and connection
 • Random drop-in visits don’t allow a comprehensive fitness program like ours to be effective
 • Our own memberships are reasonably-priced (Shimmer Glow $145 for example, $18/class)(https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=15902&stype=40&prodid=231)
 • We believe in helping local businesses thrive
 • We invite you to keep dollars in your neighborhoods, not with VC-backed tech platforms
