Downtown Yoga

Posted on October 12, 2012 By Sara Zen San Jose

If you want to meet locals during your short visit or want to get a life time relationship with them, Downtown Yoga is a great place to try. Downtown Yoga, situated in the center of San Jose, is one of the most popular yoga studios in that region. But they promote yoga not only in the studio, but also at cultural events and in the poor barrios of San Jose.

Their teaching language is Spanish, but most of the instructors speak English. As managers are native English speakers, you can easily discuss anything related to yoga with them or any concerns can be discussed with confidence before a class. As some yoga practitioners like to have massage session, they also have massage therapists available. You don’t need to get worried about accommodation as there is a hotel next door. If you want a relaxing retreat then they are partnered with fabulous San Jose Walking Tours.

They believe that yoga is an art. So they have designed the course curriculum incorporating traditional arts such as painting, film, photography and fashion with yoga. They have built a friendly community. All the members of this strong community help each other while practicing yoga. Downtown Yoga itself is a community project. They believe in the power of yoga to improve living standard.
