My name is Tony Carr, and I am the owner of Yoga College of India, Oakland.


My mission is to provide to the Oakland community a variety of Bikram yoga that came to fruition before Yoga became a big business.

I believe one of the gifts I have come here to share is an abiding love for all types and kinds of people, and the ability to unify a community of people who are all pursuing their own betterment.

Though this form of Yoga is purely physical and is a fairly new development, it is rooted in the spiritual and cultural traditions developed in India and elsewhere over thousands of years.

I intend to offer a form of Bikram yoga which is pure and proven. At the time this studio came into being, Yoga was as much a of a spiritual pursuit as it was a form of exercise. The economics of Yoga has, since, diluted out a lot of the spiritual content of Yoga. I would like to bring some of that spirituality back.

If you are looking for a soulful, safe, enthusiastic, and dedicated community in which to develop your Yoga practice — and experience the many fruits that come from that practice — you are in the right place.

4worldlovers: We intentionally offer small class sizes to provide alignment cues, adjustments and assists, for each student. Our Registered and experienced teachers are here to share their love of Yoga. With beginner to advanced classes, YogaLove is the perfect place to start, strengthen, deepen and love your practice. We invite you to become a YogaLover.

We are open and excited about outdoor classes starting in June.

4worldlovers: We help stressed-out overachievers find strength and balance, feel good in their bodies, and use their yoga practice to handle whatever life throws at them.
