Beautiful yoga studio near the convention center and college.
I like the mix of yoga styles and instructors here. Elena is my go-to instructor to perfect inversions, and Michael for ashtanga poses. I have taken Prajna at other studios, and love her class and her voice!
Parking is validated in Pv parking garages, metered parking is available along the street.
Downtown Yoga Shala truly is a Sanctuary in San Jose! The teachers are great and the space is cozy - it's the perfect place to explore your yoga practice!
Downtown Yoga Shala has changed my 2019. I've been trying to come once or twice a week and my overall wellness has drastically increased. I leave with so much clarity and relaxed. Class is tough and the heat is challenging, but it is worth it!
I attended this studio for 5 months with an unlimited membership and generally enjoyed the classes. I would love to give the studio more than one star because the teachers deserve it and I really enjoyed the space (even if it's temporary). However, after more than a week of trying to get in touch with someone (many voicemails, emails, and even a message on Instagram went unanswered or returned) about the studio charging me two times after I requested (via face to face with the owner) to have my membership cancelled.
I can understand a slip up and an accidental charge. I can understand a couple of days with no return phone call from a small business. This is sadly just unprofessional, and I had to resort to my credit card company's purchase protection plan to get my $200 back. Any chance of renewing my membership for this studio in the future is no more. Hopefully they can hire someone to answer their main phone and info@ email from time to time for other members who need it.
Best yoga teachers and atmosphere. Nothing to fear, first-timers!
I came today to do a yoga class and found the studio to be taken over by a martial arts studio in the making. No more yoga shala
