As seen on Ksee24, CBS47 and KMPH26, featured in the Fresno Bee named Fresno Magazine's 50 Favorite Things, 2007, and a People's Choice award winner, Best Yoga studio category, 2008, Sisters Yoga is located on the border of Clovis, (NW corner of Willow/Nees.) Sisters Yoga is Fresno's first all-female yoga studio. Unlike traditional yoga studios, Sisters focuses on a happier, looser, less traditional form of yoga which includes music that runs from R&B to pop to World. Instructors also incorporate props such as blocks and straps to help students attain correct alignment regardless of their skill level. Classes range from Happy Hour yoga which is more of a "workout", to "Chill Out" which is restorative, gentle yoga. A Pilates mat class, Mind/Body Mixer, "Yo-God!" which is Christian-based, free to the community and half of donations go to the Marjaree Mason Center, and Yoga Dance is also offered. Sisters Yoga also holds many monthly, dance workout workshops.
Chasmar “Chaz” Russ, who is registered with Yoga Alliance (and Trent Russ, husband and co-owner) believe all females need a place where they can nourish themselves away from relationships and responsibilities. Sisters Yoga provides a space where the female yogi (age 7 and up) can tune into her unique melody, the same melody that serves as the soundtrack to her life. This is a place where women can “let their hair down,” learn how to laugh at their misfortunes, tend to the garden of their self-esteem, and amaze themselves with their growing inner and outer strengths.

Are you a Yoga Sister?
Who is a Yoga Sister? A Yoga Sister is a female who realizes the value of taking care of herself. She knows that in order to take care of her family and friends and to excel at her job, she first needs to nurture herself.
She is a compassionate being. A female who leads with her heart. She is strong and secure. She embraces her perceived weaknesses and laughs at her mistakes. She is a leader and yet exudes a quiet grace.
If you question whether you are deserving of being a Yoga Sister, ask yourself this: Should you nourish your mind, body and soul with just as much priority as you feed your pets? Should you fuel your body just as much as you fuel your car?
You know the answer.
I Am Woman
I am Woman
a thousand limbs
taking in the life around me
feeding my soul, complexifying
spinning out of my own being
that which will surpass me.
Though they may bind my feet
I shall always walk
and if they sever my legs
I will fly,
the power of my Mysteries
deathless as the Phoenix.
I am Woman
birthed and birther
wrapped together as one
prolific process.
My arms reach out
pulling in life,
offering back my love.
