I love this studio! Let me start off by saying I am currently close to the Palo Alto Yoga Six studio but I've not heard much positive about that studio except that it's cramped and super tiny so I've never gone there. I got introduced to this YogaSix studio in Sunnyvale via a yoga back pain class that was wonderful and then decided to eventually sign up for their monthly membership. Let me start off why. First of all everyone at the studio is welcoming. Heather the manger is so awesome and very helpful. The studio is clean, nice, has 2 spacious bathrooms, several lockers for your own personal belongings (but not for every student btw). They have free hair ties at front desk if you need one, deodorant, hygiene pads and dry shampoo in bathrooms. I'm not sure how YogaSix classes are in other locations but for me this studio is wonderful and I keep driving over here even though it's a bit of a drive coz it's worth it each and every single time! Besides people being kind and welcoming here, there's a sense of a lovely community here too. No we are not all besties but everyone respects everyone. If you are an ultra yogini who practices yoga hardcore then perhaps this place isn't for you. I'd say core & sculpt classes are challenging but the majority of classes are for people who want to start/get back into yoga and feel welcomed and not judged. I used to do yoga and Pilates diligently several years ago. Then Covid happened and my practice lessened and then multiple injuries followed including neck, back, hips, knees and ankles. Yes I'm basically broken all over. So even though I had experience in yoga, it was quite intimidating for me to get back into yoga after a while of not practicing it and also multiple injuries and overall severe body instability. This studio is where instructors are welcoming you into your own practice without judgement. They will always mention how you can modify a yoga pose and not have to go all out stretching. Listen to your body is truly embodied here. You can place a laminated paper they offer if you'd like to be adjusted during the class and an instructor might approach you and do that as they're aware you're giving them the permission. I'm fine with having my hips etc closely touched because I am crooked and semi broken everywhere and I want a teacher to show me and help me. It's pretty rare that in any fitness classes instructors provide brief one on one adjustment nowadays and I really appreciate that this is available here. They also have laminated notes if you do not wish to be touched at all and that's respected. At the end of the class they usually do a little scented wave at students that is relaxing. You can waive this as well if you want, usually by having your hand on your heart or stomach. Classes are slow paced but usually challenging enough to get you into shape gradually and help with your balance. Sculpt & flow will kick your butt and get you sweating and sore for sure. Heated classes are not but not super hot where you'll feel you'll pass out and die. They offer dry towels, and wet cool slightly scented towels after class. You're offered to clean your mat and blocks after class to help out which we all do as in a sense of a good community and respect to the studio. Anyway 5 stars for this studio. I highly recommend it! If you're terrified of yoga - to try it this place is for you! Try at least couple classes and I think you'll love it. I surely am planning to keep coming back here! read more
