I've been patient with my goal of becoming a yogi, but I always felt like something was missing--like hands-on guidance from teachers, longer classes, and more advanced poses. Then I signed up for classes at Nandi Yoga--and I was totally hooked. Every teacher is kind, attentive, and supportive, especially Wendy, the owner. Now, I'm genuinely excited to practice yoga every single day. Thank you, Nandi Yoga!

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'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.

She correct the students if needed. She's passionate about Pilates and you can see it in her teaching where she helps students to target their health goals. If you want a killer abs burner Darin is the person! I've been a member for half a year and I always look forward to coming to class. I highly recommend Pilates V!

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.

I've been going to Yoga Health Center for years, so full disclosure: I'm a loyal customer. That…read moresaid, I've tried plenty of other studios, from Campbell to Mountain View to Menlo Park, plus various studios while traveling, so I've seen the good, the bad, and the downright rough. Yoga Health Center stands out as one of the best. The instructors and staff are genuinely great, the space is always clean and welcoming, and the HVAC system is modern and well maintained, which matters a lot when you're doing hot yoga. They offer a solid variety of classes too, not just yoga but Pilates and other fitness options as well. On top of all that, it's a family owned small business, and you can feel it. They actually care about their customers, and it shows in every visit.

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.

I'm really surprised I haven't written a review for this place yet, even though I don't write…read morereviews very frequently-- it's just one of the best yoga studios I've been to in probably 15 years of regular practice in SF and the Peninsula. The owner, Pattie, really lives her yogic teachings and is exceptionally kind and gracious. She also leads fantastic classes that are the perfect mix of physical challenge and spiritual reflection/meditation. What's also really great is that she offers in person classes in addition to virtual-- the doors and windows of the studio are left open so masks are optional. Normally she offers outdoor classes as well but has stopped due to the arrival of more wintry weather (however there are still a few weekly outdoor classes with Olga). Olga and Grace are wonderful instructors as well-- both really get you in a good flow and you'll be buzzing with high vibes afterwards. I've taken far more classes with Grace, who is one of the sweetest, most skilled instructors I've found and really takes the time to make sure everyone has proper alignment. She takes everyone's personal needs and limitations into account yet really motivates you to push yourself farther than you thought you could go. At the moment she is only offering virtual classes. Overall this is just such a warm, welcoming studio with very intimate classes that span all levels of ability. I cherish it for what it has done for my physical and mental health!

Worst yoga class I've ever had. The class is held inside an apartment building and no instructions…read morewere given on how to enter. I stood outside calling (along with 2 other patrons) for 10 mins. When Olga arrived the only thing she said was "are you registered?" No introduction of herself or the practice, no questions about my experience, goals, limitations, etc. I was not asked for proof of vaccination. The class was disjointed and confusing, and transitions were awkward. No forecasting poses, no breath engagement, no explanation of proper form or alignment. Olga taught to the camera or the mirror the whole time (I was not told we'd be on camera or recorded).. Another student tried to tell Olga that she felt pain in some of the poses and Olga told her to try to remember which poses it was and remind her at the end of class. Afterwords, Olga didn't say one word to any of the students except to remind one woman to register.

I just hit my two-month mark at J8, and I'm genuinely so grateful that I found this place…read more I've tried so many different studios and workouts in the area, but the way I've fallen in love with J8 feels so different from anywhere else I've been. The community, the instructors, the professionalism, and especially the structure of the classes have all made such a huge difference for me. I regularly take the 8 PM Inferno classes with Aiko and Melanie and the 7:30 Pilates Sculpt with Sam, and I absolutely love them. The class is challenging (as it should be!), but the instructors and the community really push you, encourage you, and somehow get you through those moments when you're questioning why you signed up for this . I was honestly pretty nervous to start coming here, but I'm SO glad I did. I can genuinely say I look forward to coming to class with my friends. The studio itself is always clean, the owner is kind, and incredibly welcoming, and the playlists are always . You can really tell that there's so much thought and care put into the experience. Thanks j8!

I've been going to the Hot Sculpt class every Saturday at 8:30 AM and I really enjoy the classes!…read moreThey're challenging but so much fun. I did want to mention the music because personally, I haven't been loving it in some of the recent classes. I think music makes a big difference in how motivated I feel while working out. I'm more into throwbacks and R&B and personally would love a little less EDM. But that's just my preference! Saturday class was actually really good... I really liked the music and it made the workout way more enjoyable for me. I also tried adding some songs to the Spotify playlist but it wouldn't let me. It would be cool if members could request songs or maybe vote on what kind of music they want before class. I also think themed classes would be so fun! Like a 49ers Day, Pajama Day, different music themes, or even a Breast Cancer Awareness class next month. Little things like that could make the classes even more fun and bring everyone together. Just wanted to share a little feedback on the music and some ideas that I think could make the classes even better. I will always be back 8:30 am Saturdays!

I have been coming to classes here for a year and I am so grateful for this space…read more All of the teachers are incredibly nice and very different in terms of modalities and areas of focus. I've had classes with Sarah, Marcie, Hannah, Julia, Blu, Sharone, Tricia and probably a couple of others. There are two studios which are clean and well resourced with props. They also host workshops and special themed classes like Taylor Swift, Bridgerton, etc. There isnt a full locker room like a some studios but I think that's fine, especially since there are no hot or bikram classes here. Parking can be hard since it's on a busy street and near the train station but if you give yourself ten extra minutes, you're fine.
