I finished a mom and baby (pre-walker) class with Meredith and it was amazing! The yoga studio is…read moreconveniently located near downtown San Mateo. Plenty of 2 hour street parking nearby. It was a breeze checking in and ahhh the liability waiver at the front. It was a sweet space with see through window from the lobby. I brought my baby boy and he had an absolute blast crawling around and meeting little ones like himself. The yoga session was perfectly tailored for moms and Meredith was so accommodating with different yoga poses, making sure we breathed in and out, holding my baby at one point since he started fussing, and giving position adjustments. The practice was very calming and I loved the flow. The other moms were so sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend this class to any new moms, it was so energizing and comforting!

I really wanted to like Pilates V -- the classes themselves were decent, and the instructors I met…read morewere kind. But unfortunately, the experience with their policy and customer support has been frustrating enough that I'm seriously reconsidering coming back. I've been dealing with a prolonged illness, and per their own policy, clients with symptoms are not allowed to attend class (which I fully respect). But when I reached out to explain my situation, I was only given a two-week extension -- no flexibility, no empathy, just a firm deadline. When I tried to use the remaining classes before expiration, I did not show up due to a worsening cough at the day of class-- again, trying to be responsible and follow their rules. I then received a late cancel/no show warning email, which said I'd normally be charged an extra $15 fee on top of the class I already paid for, just for being too sick to attend. Although the fee was waived this time, the tone of the message and the overall approach felt more like a punishment system than a client-centered one. The policy is confusing, rigid, and completely lacking in support for people dealing with health issues. It left me feeling discouraged and unwelcome -- not something I expect from a wellness studio.

Was excited to try Pilates again so I was excited to find a Groupon of Pilates V. I've done Pilates…read morein San Diego before so I was excited to do it again. They don't have a reception area so I was a little lost walking in but I just followed what everyone else was doing. The workout itself was fine. Compared to the classes I took in the past I didn't find the instructor to be helpful. When I got home I got an email about my bill from Pilates V which was a charge for grip socks which I did not purchase. I ended up reaching out to management for a refund. There was a couple back and forth with the emails where I had to reach out for updates. It did become a bit frustrating because I didn't talk to the instructor at all but was told that the instructor said it was me that purchased. In the end I received my refund which I was thankful for however I feel like this could have been solved in a more efficient way. I ended up not using the rest of the Groupon classes but it's a loss I would rather take than take more classes.

The experience left me feeling stressed. I arrived right on time at the class start time, only to…read morefind the doors locked with no way to get in or contact anyone. I understand the importance of punctuality, but locking the doors the same minute class begins with no grace period is extreme, especially for a wellness space meant to support mental health. Yoga is where I go to destress and reset. Instead I ended up feeling frustrated after taking the time out of my day and planning around the class. A little compassion and flexibility would go a long way especially for a studio that promotes mindfulness and balance.

Parking was not too difficult to find considering it was mid day on a weekday. All meter parking outside costed $1.50 per hour. Studio was clean and had a relaxing vibe. Locker room was bright and clean, with 2 showers and plenty of lockers. The instructor is the one who checks people in at the front counter. Ashley was friendly and I loved that she provided demos to us throughout the class. Great first experience with CorePower and I look forward to trying out their other yoga classes offered!

totally understand the no phones rule but clearly nobody follows that rule, so being called out for…read moresimply having my phone (wasn't even using it) was very hypocritical of the instructor. I'm already self conscious going to class and she made me not want to return. It's my first time at this studio so I'm not entirely familiar with the flow, it was 6:30 (end of class) and people were cleaning up and stretching and i'm thinking "okay i'm guessing we're skipping shavasna due to the time" so i started to head out and as soon as i stand up with my mat , she turns the lights off. and then proceeds to call me out for leaving during shavasna. What a weird feeling, to feel embarrassment after such a good workout. But class was great and her flow was good other than the passive aggression at the end.

I'm leaving this review with the intention of offering honest feedback that could help improve the…read moreexperience, not to harm the business. Unfortunately, the studio has a noticeable odor at times, which makes it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the class. Cleanliness and air quality are especially important in a hot yoga environment, so this stood out. Additionally, while I respect the experience of the instructors, a lot of classes felt weighed down by negative energy. A yoga space should feel uplifting and supportive, but at times it came across as tense rather than encouraging. Bringing in young instructors who project more positive, fresh, and motivating energy could really enhance the overall atmosphere. I believe this place has potential, but a few changes could make a big difference in how students feel during and after class.

My very first yoga journey started with ankita in 2015 and i couldn't have asked more than what i…read morefound. I don't have enough words to describe but Ankita not just teaches, but goes out of way to ensure that her students are comfortable; encouraging us on a very positive note to do more and more. She makes us realize that we can always achieve more than what we think we can. I managed to do headstand on my own, with all her instructions which is a very big accomplishment for me. She explains all the asanas and how they add so much vigor to our daily routine. She is immensely passionate and i bet i couldn't have found a better guru than her. In fact, I feel super lucky to have found not just a superlatively multi talented teacher but a great friend too; and to top it up, she is my dance teacher as well!! We have learnt dance on some fantastic choice of songs with her; Ankita's lucid techniques of teaching make it so simple and easy to remember and practise the steps with ease! She is very detail oriented when it comes to each dance step and tells us to dance from within with enough grace, smile, attitude and what not!!! I love ankita in all aspects and to wrap this up "If you are super passionate about yoga/dance i cant suggest a better place than Ankita's Om Kutir; it's beyond just being an institution...it's a place to truly belong to and soak in good vibes and learn soulfully with her"

She is extremely friendly and at the same time pushes us all to improve in our personal practice. Her pattern of teaching is structured yet unique and challenging yet relaxing at the same time. Her yoga studio is done so beautifully. Every time I step in the studio, I feel I have come in a different world - so serene and so pure. I feel it is not just a yoga studio but a complete wellness studio and community. I have made some great likeminded friends here. Ankita focuses not just on yoga practice but incorporates other aspects of healthy living like water intake, healthy eating habits, mind relaxation etc also in her sessions. Within a short span of 3 months I am noticing an improvement in my practice and I feel super energized.
