Welcome to California Yoga Center

We offer yoga classes and workshops for all ages and abilities, with studios in Mountain View and Palo Alto. Our dedicated instructors have extensive training and many years of teaching experience.

Yoga in the Iyengar tradition emphasizes a balance between strength and flexibility, builds endurance, and develops self-awareness through precision in movement and attention to subtle aspects of posture and breath, mind and spirit.
