YogaSource’s experienced instructors lead aspiring body benders to states of tranquility and poise in classes that boast more than 14 different styles of yoga and take place upwards of 100 times per week. Its newly opened Los Gatos studio opens up more than 10,500 square feet for groups of outstretched bodies to elongate limbs and strengthen spines. A state-of-the-art air-purification and heating system warms rooms in 90-minute Bikram sessions, helping students purge undesirable pollutants and empty spinach cans from muscles and allowing bodies to discover deeper stretches. The milder Yin workshops require longer poses and challenge brains to rounds of the quiet game, and flow lessons introduce pupils to varying techniques with a focus on breath work and meditation. Aspiring yogis with tiny tots are welcome to take advantage of the studio’s childcare services during their sweat sessions, and students may tote along their own mats and towels or rent them from YogaSource’s attached boutique.
