✦ Studio Founder
Maya Chen
Maya started Soft Riot because she was tired of studios that felt like spas for rich people. She teaches like she talks — direct, funny, occasionally profane. Expect playlists that go from Cocteau Twins to cumbia.

Dev Patel
Dev came to yoga through physical therapy and stayed for the breathing. His classes are slow, precise, and sneakily hard. He will make you hold pigeon for what feels like an eternity.

Jules is the teacher you want when you haven't done yoga in six months and feel weird about it. Zero judgment, maximum encouragement. They also make the best chai in the studio kitchen.

Tommy Nakamura
Tommy teaches meditation-forward classes that'll make type-A people uncomfortable in the best way. Skateboarder turned yoga teacher. Still skateboards. His savasana game is unmatched.
