Our Story

16 Years of Yoga, Community & Connection

For 16+ years, Almaden Yoga has been more than a yoga studio in San Jose. It has been a place where people come to practice, learn, connect, and grow. Thousands of students have walked through our doors over the years. Some arrived for their very first yoga class. Some were experienced practitioners looking for a yoga community to call home. Others came during times of change—looking for strength, balance, healing, connection, or simply a little space to breathe.

Every person has become part of our story.

A lot has changed over 16 years, but the heart of Almaden Yoga remains the same:

  • Welcoming people as they are.
  • Teaching with integrity.
  • Creating meaningful experiences.
  • And building community through yoga.

Our Community Grows

Our love of creating welcoming spaces for yoga and community eventually led us beyond Almaden Valley with Gilroy Yoga.
While each studio has its own personality and community, both share the same belief: yoga should be welcoming, accessible, and a place where people can feel connected.
Today, Almaden Yoga and Gilroy Yoga allow us to share that vision with two wonderful South Bay communities.

Meet Anuja & Ron

At the heart of Almaden Yoga are owners Anuja and Ron, whose vision has always been about more than creating a place to practice yoga—it has been about creating a place where people feel they belong.

Anuja brings her passion for yoga, teaching, travel, and bringing people together into the everyday life of the studio. From classes and teacher trainings to workshops and retreats around the world, she has helped shape Almaden Yoga into the community it is today.

Behind the scenes, Ron brings his entrepreneurial experience, thoughtful perspective, and steady support to the studio’s continued growth. He also teaches at Almaden Yoga.

Together, they have nurtured Almaden Yoga through the years with a shared belief that yoga has the power to connect people—not only to their practice, but to one another.

Thousands of students have already been part of our story.
We would love for you to be part of what comes next.

For Anuja and Ron, Almaden Yoga isn’t simply a business.
It’s a community they are proud to call home.
