This review is primarily for Jade Xiao who teaches on Saturdays.
I came to Yogaworks after taking pilates classes with Jade Xiao at other locations in Palo Alto for over 6 months.
When I first met Jade, I could not touch my toes, had zero balance, and struggled to lift my leg to reach the ballet barre. Over 6 months I watched my body transform to a leaner, stronger, more flexible self thanks to Jade's instruction.
I've taken pilates classes before with other instructors. What distinguishes Jade is that she genuinely enjoys seeing the progress of her trainees. Her workouts are tough, no doubt, but she always provides modifiable options to appropriately challenge those at any level. Her workouts are fun, music is upbeat, and classes always changing and fresh.
I was so taken with Jade that I followed her to Yogaworks and have been impressed with the offerings there. In particular, have enjoyed TRX with Kristi and Jessica--tough workouts with instructors that are fun, warm, funny and friendly even for a novice like myself!
