Please help me find an early morning yoga class!
My schedule and childcare logistics have shifted dramatically this year, and I find myself with free time only in the wee wee hours of the morning. I would love to find a yoga class once a week that I could go to during this time. It would have to start at 5:00, 5:30, or at latest, 6 AM. I have searched some of the studio's schedules, but have not found any that begin at this time. Am I missing something? Please help! I am not the type who can practice at home: I need a class to motivate me. There must be something out there!
Thank you in advance!

Hi, That's a tough time, and I'm not sure of your location needs, but I'm sure that's a factor.
Check Square One Yoga's schedule - they have locations in San Leandro, Emeryville, and El Cerrito. I know the San Leandro location has a great 6:30-7:30am class on weekdays, and it looks like Emeryville has a few at 6:30am. www.squareoneyoga.com - I absolutely love this yoga studio.
I looked at the Berkeley and Oakland YMCA schedules, but not sure if they fit the bill or not. Do check them out. One other option, not as great for your needs, but possible: at the Y, I used the stretching room to do stretches and some yoga. What worked for me was setting a time and a place to show up and I did the exercise, so maybe if there are days that the class isn't offered at the best time, you can still use a stretching room area for yoga so that you're sticking with what works for your schedule.
Good luck!
Try Bikram Yoga classes. There first session in most of their studio is at 5.30/6.00 am. Good Luck.
I don't know of a yoga class but I can recommend a 6 am Pilates reformer class at El Cerrito Fitness on Tues and Thurs.

It isn't an in-person class, but I really enjoy the free, online "Yoga with Adriene" classes.
