About Us - Why We're The Best Hot Yoga and Pilates Studio

---

 At Best Yoga Studios, our mission is to inspire healthier, happier lives by offering exceptional hot yoga and Pilates in a clean, welcoming, and supportive environment. Through expert teaching and a caring community, we empower every student to build strength, resilience, and lasting well-being. 

Wendy Mosgrove, owner of Best Yoga Studios, brings a lifetime of movement expertise and heartfelt dedication to her studio.

Originally from Hartford, Connecticut, Wendy began her career as a ballerina before moving to San Francisco, where she trained as a workout instructor with fitness pioneer and Academy Award–winning actress Jane Fonda in 1981.

Eighteen years ago, a friend introduced Wendy to Bikram Hot Yoga, a decision that would change the course of her life. At the time, she was struggling with insomnia, managing depression with medication, and coping with restricted neck movement following a car accident.

Remarkably, after just ten days of practicing hot yoga, Wendy was sleeping soundly again, no longer needed medication, and had regained full mobility in her neck.

“I knew it was going to change my life,” Wendy recalls.

Inspired by her own transformation, she completed Bikram Yoga Teacher Training with Bikram Choudhury and went on to open her first studio in Morgan Hill in 2011.

“It’s the same 26 postures practiced in a precise sequence, but every class is unique because you are never the same,” she explains. “The practice invites you to go deeper — both physically and mentally — every time you step on the mat.”

Wendy opened the Gilroy studio in 2015, continuing her mission of sharing the benefits of hot yoga and mindful movement with the South County community after closing the Morgan Hill location in 2019.

Today, as an independent, woman-owned studio, Best Yoga Studios proudly welcomes students into a safe, sparkling-clean environment for Bikram Hot Yoga and Pilates, where every breath and every posture brings you closer to greater balance, strength, and vitality.

At Best Yoga Studios, we believe movement is medicine. Hot Yoga and Hot Pilates unite mind, body, and spirit, helping release tension, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. With a regular practice, students often experience improved posture and alignment, increased flexibility and strength, enhanced metabolism, and greater emotional balance.

Our Bikram Hot Yoga sequence stimulates the body from the inside out, circulating fresh, oxygenated blood through your organs, glands, muscles, and nervous system. Over time, this process helps restore the body’s natural balance, resilience, and vitality, while sharpening mental clarity and reducing stress.

Our Hot Pilates classes offer an energizing, high-intensity workout designed to build strength, boost endurance, and support a healthy metabolism — all within a welcoming and supportive community.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you are invited to start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can.

As Bikram Choudhury reminds us:
"You're never too old, never too bad, never too late, and never too sick to start from scratch once again."
