The Bo Tree is a lovely mostly green yoga studio with beautiful cork floors, bamboo cabinetry, and a general feeling of relaxation inspired by the minimalist modern design of the studio. Many types of classes with a vast range of levels and intensities offered, including Vinyasa Flow, Gentle Yoga, Healthy Back Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Yoga for Teens. The primary instructor is Meghan Bowen who practices prana flow which she has learned over the past 5 years from Shiva Rea. This style is distinguished by feeling the pulse in each pose, and gently encourages a fluidity, spontaneity and lightness that invokes your natural grace. Classes can be paid for on a drop-in basis. Discounts for multiple classes, seniors, students. Plenty of parking available nearby, and there are bike racks out front. Free mat rental available to walkers and bikers. Instructors are experienced, well trained, and registered yoga teachers with the Yoga Alliance. The Bo Tree also offers yoga retreats and a Yoga Teacher's Training Program, which is a registered school with the Yoga Alliance.

They used to be on Peña Drive.

2007-06-14 23:59:18   The new studio is certainly aesthetically pleasing

2007-09-19 21:14:16   The new studio is stunning, and Meghan's classes continue to be inspiring and enlivening. Long live The Bo Tree. Anyone looking for a real yoga community would be lucky to find this one. —Calvin

2008-02-22 15:39:10   i've liked meghan's classes in the past, but find that other instructors are often more centered and focused. overall this is a very nice studio and a very special place to practice yoga, tho i get the sense that they'd benefit from having a better balance of teachers. —LMS

2009-04-24 08:13:56   The primary instructor, Meghan Bowen, left Davis in June 2008 and the quality of instruction has really gone down hill. The Bo Tree seems very amateurish and I don't like the vibe. —janec

2009-04-24 11:13:29   I just went for one class and was really impressed with the instructor's (Christine) teaching ability. I think it is a great environment for a yoga practice. —YK

2009-05-28 17:56:34   What a dump. I agree with Jane C that this place has seriously gone down hill. Total wast of your time and money— i would have a beter yoga experience in my living room— and it would be cleaner, too.

2009-06-10 14:29:10   What a great experience I was able to pay on-line, and sign up for the classes I wanted on-line. All I had to do when I got there was sign in and begin - it was fantastic. I sent a note to the owner Teri, and she responded in a few hours. Great service. Not sure what a couple people refer to when they say it is not clean - maybe they were in a different studio. Great vibe on the two practices I attended. The 5:30 class fills up fast so get there early. —Rebbax

2009-10-04 18:06:33   this is my first yoga studio in davis and i can only say great things about it. I love the cork floors and wonderful lighting. they provide such a comforting and peaceful environment in which to practice. the floors are so quiet that you hardly notice when the teacher walks around or someone comes in late. i have only been to christine's vinyasa classes and they are amazing. she is always willing to help you into a more challenging pose and allows each student to constantly challenge themselves. it would be awesome if there were better prices for students, but $110 for 10 classes is pretty good for the high quality that you receive. —AlexandraEllis
