Thank you all for your patience, kindness and support as we start on our next adventure together. I know a number of you have been eagerly awaiting the new schedule. So here you have it folks - the first cut is below. The new schedule will go into force ONLY when the new location opens....not until then.

We have done our best based on a whole bunch of data analytics to ensure a healthy balance of styles and times are available at both locations when we start. We are currently at the mercy of the City of San Jose. (yes...yes.....the start date is coming soon). 

Anyway, back to the schedule....This is a first cut i.e., it is subject to change as we all learn more over the next couple of months. Depending on attendance patterns of both studios, your suggestions and feedback, and teacher availability, we will make necessary additions and modifications. Do not assume that just because your favorite class or teacher or time slot is not available at the start, that it won't be available again. It's a symphony in the making and we hope to hit the right chords with the entire ensemble playing their relative parts.  We also realize that we may not be able to make everyone happy but trust me, Ron and I are trying our best to keep every single Almaden yogi smiling.  

Besides classes, some of you are also concerned about the parking situation at the new location. The honest truth is that on weekdays and weekend mornings there is absolutely no issue of parking. As long as you are OK with not parking right outside the studio you will have enough spots to park; then walk, enjoy the weather and enter into your lovely yoga studio..... and maybe go do some shopping after :)  

Ron and I have actually visited the location at all class hours and counted parking spots and there are more than enough for all of us. Just keep one slogan in mind "Park far and enjoy the walk". 

A few changes to note -  See below for more details  

• We are adding two new class styles - Restorative Yoga & Mommy and Baby Yoga.
• Medicine Yoga changes its name to Therapeutic Yoga - Barbara continues to teach it.  
• As of now, two new teachers have been added to the Almaden Yoga family  - Allison Birdsall & Kayla Mendez.

Big question - WHEN ARE WE OPENING?  

Most likely, within 2 weeks, as long as the Gods at the City of San Jose smile upon us. We are hoping for the best. We will keep you informed as we go along. But for all of us - the sooner the better.  

A HUGE REQUEST - If you haven't done so yet, please email your photographs to photos@almadenyoga.com. Given the new studio and new members, we want to ensure that our front desk staff can familiarize themselves with all our current members. These photos will NOT be used for anything else. These will be linked to your account in our system - that's all.  

Let us enjoy the transition that Almaden Yoga is going through. Let us not focus on what will change but rather on how we will bring yoga to many more people in and around Almaden Valley.
