My profession spans 35 years of teaching Yoga and mentoring instructors in Silicon Valley. We joyously welcomed Crave into our community when Helena began her new management role and opened the studio four years ago.

Many years ago when YiY was near Wells Fargo on Castro, I regularly went for Restorative and for…read moreYoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra was taught by Mojdeh. I forgot the name of the Restorative teacher who later relocated to SoCal and the studio stopped offering the class. I really liked those classes, but they are not offered anymore. The current class schedule is filled with classes only very sparsely.

I have been going to Yin Yoga for well over a year, with one break due to injruty…read more My favorite teacher is Lana. She teaches Yin Yoga and Back Rubs on Friday evenings. Going to her classes is my favorite way to start my weekends. I missed several months due to a hamstring injury and when I came back, not only Lana but several classmates who are regulars greeted me very warmly. It made me feel that us regulars have formed a community and it is more than just exercise to come to Lana's classes. She is a delightful and humble person who imbues her classes with the most positive and relatable vibe. I live within a walking distance from the studio and walking to and from Lana's classes adds a sense of pleasurable rhythm to the whole experience. No need to worry about parking! I am really happy to have such a wonderful studio so close to where I live.

My SO and I came together and Lana gave us a friendly welcome and intro to the studio. We did a morning Yoga Belly class and it was very soothing and relaxing.

I've been practicing qigong with Gloria for months now and I feel my Qi and energy level is flowing more freely. I'm no longer in pain all over my body.

I am giving them a 5 star review based on past experience, but they have lost me as a customer by…read morenot returning the Restorative class to in-studio following the relaxation of Covid restrictions. During Covid, I tried it on ZOOM once and it was not my thing, even though I have props at home; I need the real group experience and the presence of a teacher. When it had been in-studio before Covid, I liked both the regular teacher and the teacher who frequently substituted. It was a perfect class. I still hope they will return the Restorative class to the studio but I have kept checking and it has not happened.

This is a fantastic studio for busy parents or people with injuries. The demographic of people who…read morecome to this studio are mostly middle aged (my mom went this studio a lot) so it reminds me of a mom and dad studio. It's very comfortably designed, very relaxing private place to practice. The instructors are extremely attentive to personal injuries and making you feel comfortable in class, which is the main strength of the people who teach here. They focus on Iyengar yoga which involves a ton of props and wall work. The beginner classes are perfect for people who have never stepped upon a yoga mat and a lot of personal instruction is given. The advanced classes go as for as headstands and more complex bends. Ultimately, I was looking for a younger more modern vibe so I'm still looking for a place to call my home yoga studio. I did enjoy my classes here though and would come back every now and then. Just one thing: I wish they put a stronger emphasis on flexibility but that's just my personal needs.

since my first review i've experienced them in their temporary spot ( business office area on el…read morecamino ) and now their permanent spot in downtown los altos and let me tell you, a total upgrade to their original spot in los altos! the new space is very beautiful and the lobby/cubby area is a lot bigger and not so "smooshed" together like their original spot. the parking situation has also improved. you have many options to park (garage or street) in all directions of this downtown location. tons of cute shops, bars and eateries in this area too. ive learned to embrace the classes held here too over the last year. i thoroughly enjoy the options the instructors give- and ive learned to be forgiving of what my body can handle on any given day. thank you for encouraging a positive space

It does get busy because there are other businesses there but I've never had trouble finding parking. Before you start your first class, they have you try a starter class to get introduced to the equipment and what Pilates is about so it's not too daunting on your first day. I've had the pleasure of taking Nicole's classes and she's an amazing instructor. I appreciate how she takes the time to learn everyone's name. She always offers modifications during exercises and gives good feedback.
