This review is just for Khai's men's class on Wednesdays at 7:45pm. If you're unfamiliar, Google…read more"Khai Truong-Vinh" and the details are on the first link. I started taking these classes in San Francisco about two months ago when my out-of-town/state/country friend was visiting SF and insisted that I take his class. I was hesitant, but finally decided that this is exactly the type of thing that is a Bay Area vibe, so when in Rome, right...? I've had mostly positive experiences at the Sun Room in San Francisco, though individual instructors will connect with different students differentially, so finding the one who best suits you is a matter of personal taste. That said, I found that my strength, flexibility, and overall sense of comfort with my body has progressed in yoga more quickly than I expected. I've been looking forward to checking out the Menlo Park location for quite some time, as it's close to my work. Last night I finally left work on time and made this happen. Firstly, the location is convenient. Right off the main street, off-street parking and plenty of it, and centrally located on the peninsula. The venue itself is clean and well-maintained, a nice combination of homey and professional. The lighting is well-done and the vibe is very comfortable. Khai's instructional style is exactly as charismatic as you would hope for a person who's new to this, as I am. He's super-friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and connected with his students. He pushes you enough without pushing you too far. In a nutshell, he's the perfect yoga instructor. I'm definitely going to integrate Khai's Wednesday night class into my rotation, going when work and other responsibilities allow. It was just a fantastic experience with friendly people in a nice environment. Check out the link if you're interested, and if it's the type of thing you'd be into, I highly encourage giving it a try.

The class is about an hour and I think the poses that were taught helped get rid of my stress for the day and ease me in a calmer state of being for the night. I appreciated that she was attentive to her students and give great adjustments without being critical. She is very loving and compassionate. I think my only complaint about the studio was it was a bit hard to find and the parking was not as convenient was I would like. Otherwise, I intend to go back.

Knowing…read moreI was skeptical, he suggested I try his favorite One Heart Yoga during the times I'm in my native Bay as he could join me for moral support. Or at very least, make sure I showed up! Turns out it was a great fit! Environment 5 stars: A huge pet peeve of mine are stinky, neglected yoga rooms! This place is clean, organized, and the atmosphere is peaceful which made it that much more inviting. Classes 5 stars: They offer a series of classes with select dates. I took a class during their winter series. The teacher I had was very supportive, and had a really great energy. Between guiding us through postures, and having us focus on breathing, not only was the work out great, but it puts you in a unique state of mind to reach a great mediation. Cost 5+++++ stars: They ask for a suggested donation. Best part: they forgo their own wallet and give directly to a yoga charity! **This place is really about the practice and helping cultivate your best self! And they are selfless in that endeavor! Highly recommended! 5+++ all the way!**

All…read moreof the instructors are super friendly and helpful (without making you feel awkward if any modifications are needed). I especially recommend classes taught by Emma, Avery, Rebecca, Haleh, or Kelly, but you really can't go wrong with any of the classes! I also really like that they have a wide range of class times, since I'm able to go before or after work on weekdays, or even in the afternoon on Sundays. The only critique I have is in the super popular classes (like Kelly or Emma's on the weekends), the studio is crowded and it's difficult to move as freely as you're typically able to in classes with fewer participants. Even though those are still awesome classes, I tend to avoid those now since I feel a little squished with so many people in there. Overall, I really enjoy attending classes here, and would recommend it to anyone in the area!

I am deeply disappointed by the complete lack of empathy and rigid corporate attitude at…read moreYogaSource. I have been a member, but recently had to request a pause on my account due to a serious medical diagnosis: severe clinical anemia. My doctor strictly prohibited all physical activity because of high risks of fainting (syncope), shortness of breath, and neurological symptoms. This is not a choice; it's a medical necessity. When I reached out to freeze my membership during my recovery, I was told by Bailey from the "YogaSource team" that I would be charged a $25/month pause fee for March and April. They wanted to charge me to NOT use their services while I am physically incapacitated. When I explained that charging a fee under these extreme medical circumstances was unreasonable and asked to simply cancel without a penalty, their response was even more cold. They cited a strict "30-day notice" policy, informed me that I must make one last full membership payment on 3/24, and then offered to turn that final $99 charge into an "account credit" for a future in-studio purchase. YogaSource would rather force a final payment out of a sick member than show a shred of understanding. Forcing a credit I can only use if I return shows they care more about future revenue than a person's current health crisis. If you are looking for a community that values its members' well-being, stay far away from this place. Their policy-over-people approach is predatory and heartless. UPDATE: The owner, Christina, reached out to me personally after seeing my review. She was very empathetic, admitted the situation was mishandled, and clarified that they do not charge fees for medical emergencies. While the initial experience was stressful, I am very impressed with the owner's integrity and her commitment to doing the right thing for her members. I feel much better about returning to this studio once I am recovered.

I took many classes here from 2024-25: regular (non-heated) vinyasa, slow flow vinyasa, hot…read morePilates, and restorative yoga. Overall, my experience has been good and I would recommend the studio. However, a few things you should know before you go: - Classes can get very crowded (I don't believe there's a cap on students) so sometimes there will be very little space for you to put down your mat and stretch. - There are a lot of heated classes here, and if a non-heated class follows a heated class, the studio will still be warm. If you don't mind warm rooms it won't be an issue, but as someone who really can't tolerate exercising in rooms that are not cool/borderline cold, this was a big reason that I eventually stopped coming here. - Parking in downtown Palo Alto is difficult during peak hours (after 5 PM on weekdays and especially on weekends between 10 AM to 7 PM), so you should budget parking time accordingly. With all that said, here are more detailed impressions of each type of class: - Vinyasa: Nice flow sequence. Lots of attention to breath work, mindfulness, form. Plenty of modifications offered. Soothing environment. - Slow flow vinyasa: Same as above, but at a slower pace, with somewhat less challenging movements. - Hot Pilates: This class is incredibly popular and gets very crowded on weekends. It is more of a Pilates-inspired aerobics class than classical slow-flow Pilates: the music is loud and upbeat, there is a lot of squeezing and pulsing done to the beat, cardio (jumps, mountain climbers, etc.), and light resistance work with 1-3 pound weights and resistance bands. The class is too fast-paced for teachers to offer individual corrections, but they do provide modifications. I think the room is heated above 100 degrees but I'm not sure; either way, you will sweat buckets. If you like heated workouts, you will love this, but as someone who struggles even with warm rooms I simply couldn't cope with the heat. To each their own though. - Restorative yoga: The poses are relaxing but the teacher talks a lot for a restorative class. Most of the time, she is giving Buddhist-inflected encouragements to self-reflection, which I think I would appreciate if I was more interested in Buddhism but sometimes I just want to rest.

I appreciate the Off Peak class pricing in this economy, and I tend to book those classes since they're cheaper. These classes are often taught by Krystal and Sunny, and they've quickly become my favorites! They're so patient with newer members.

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.

A little compassion and flexibility would go a long way especially for a studio that promotes mindfulness and balance.

It was overall a good class, would have been better if I was given a quick run down but that was not the case.
