YogaSource Los Gatos - Los Gatos, California

The hot pilates w/ weights is GRUELING. Even the regular hot pilates feels intense because of the heat, which I appreciate because hot pilates classes are way harder to find than hot yoga in the bay.

Leroy Thomas's classes for this are the best. He always orders the sets so even relatively easy moves become so strenous at the end. He also takes time to get to know every individual. Some of the yoga teachers are good too.

They have a cycling room, a yoga room, and a pilates room as well as a huge merchandise area.

They have showers and lockers that they provide a key/lock for if you ask instead of the built-in combination locks. The amenities are pretty low frills but they do have blow dryers.

I had heard of this studio from other yogis, who talked about how beautiful the physical practice space is. I finally made my way there and found an oasis of yoga and spin amenities. They have two yoga rooms, one for heated practice and one for unheated vinyasa and a spin room with Schwinn bikes. It’s worth noting that they do keep the door propped open for a period of time for fresh airflow, so if it’s cold outside, you might be cold in the unheated room. I would imagine that it feels amazing in the summer, but I was a bit chilly when I went to Linda Schlamadinger’s 75-minute vinyasa class. The class started off with some really great guided myofascial release with a tune-up ball and the sequence of the flow was well thought-out and interesting, although I would say it’s pretty accessible and easy. While this studio is in Santa Clara county, they allow you to take your masks off when you are on the yoga mat practicing. In fact, most of the students, and the teacher did not have their masks on when they were on their yoga mat (they only put them on when they moved around the studio.) I personally do not like wearing my mask at all when I’m working out so it was a relief to me that the studio operated this way, because as of February 2022, Santa Clara still had an indoor mask mandate. At the same time, the studio is spaced out enough that I didn’t feel like I was pushed up against anyone–I thought they did a great job keeping the studio available to yogis while maintaining the right level of covid safety precautions. If I didn’t live so far away, I would definitely give their 3-weeks new-student special for $59 a try.

Pros

1.) Showers, spacious, bright, airy, and welcoming feel

2.) Lots of free parking in their garage

3.) Felt like a community, people said hi to me and made eye contact, and I could see that the regulars were chatting and connecting before and after class

Cons

1.) For me personally, I didn’t find that the classes were challenging or advanced enough to warrant me going regularly, but I have been practicing regularly for nearly 15 years

Attended their healing yoga and another yoga last week. Instructors are kind and promote good body awareness. Overall a great place to attend regularly.

Yoga Source Los Gatos is a spacious studio with many different programs. There are a variety of yoga classes from gentle to challenging and heated. They also have high-energy cycling classes and Pilates. I like that there are lots of options for class times that can fit into your busy schedule unlike other studios in the area. The Vinyasa (non-heated) classes are my favorite especially the candlelight one. The one thing I would change for the Vinyasa classes would be the music. I prefer practicing to true yoga music rather than the pop music most teachers play.
There are different class packages and prices available to choose from. I’ve enjoyed practicing yoga here since Aug. 2016. Yoga Source has a nice little shop with mats, towels, clothing and jewelry. Each class you attend earns points that you can use toward purchases or to bring a friend for free.

I discovered One Yoga through ClassPass about 2 years ago and have become a regular patron since. I had never taken Hot Pilates before and I want to give a shout out to Jordan Nordhoff and Sam Boozer. They are excellent teachers and their expertise, patience, and encouragement have made a significant impact on my journey towards better health and wellness.

The studio in Los Gatos is equipped with showers but I wish they had some fans or some ventilation in the bathroom because it gets really stuffy during the summer months as we get ready in there.

I also hope they don’t treat the Morgan Hill studio as a step child and try to bring it to par with the LG one.

I cancelled my class pass membership because this has been my absolute favorite place to come for the last few months, and I decided to just get a membership. I am SO GLAD I did. The classes and teachers are wonderful. I've taken classes from Leroy, Annie, Kalani, and Alana so far and they are all incredible instructors. Leroy's hot Pilates express is especially challenging. I love the vibes of this studio always feel like I'm getting a great workout in.

It was my first time and signed up for the 12.15pm class. Firstly, I felt so unwelcomed. The front desk staff and teacher saw me walk in but started having a conversation about finding something while I stood there waiting to be greeted. I wasn't shown around the studio space and had to find my way around. The class itself was messy, cueing was so hard to follow and certain poses were missed on the other side. Left feeling disappointed.
