In March 2026, Mayor Pranita Venkatesh presented co-founders Regina and Bob French with an official City of San Carlos proclamation recognizing Yoga Health Center’s 30th anniversary.
YHC was also selected as the city’s first Small Business Spotlight—recognition of the community Regina, Bob, our students, teachers and team have built together.
Built with heart. Sustained by community.
Yoga Health Center began in 1996 with Regina and Bob French’s shared belief that movement, discipline and genuine human connection could create something far more valuable than a place to exercise.
What began as a small family enterprise has grown into one of the Bay Area’s most established independent yoga communities. Through changing trends and generations of students, the center has stayed grounded in the same idea: people do better when they are welcomed, known and supported.
Today, YHC offers a broad portfolio of heated and non-heated yoga, fitness, Pilates, strength, restorative practices, meditation and wellness experiences. Beginners practice alongside longtime members, guided by teachers who combine deep expertise with individual care.
Different strengths. One enduring purpose.
Regina and Bob built Yoga Health Center by combining mastery of practice with disciplined business leadership. Madison now leads the center’s day-to-day operations and its next stage of growth.
Regina French
Regina is the heart of Yoga Health Center. For three decades, her teaching has helped thousands of students develop strength, confidence and a practice that reaches beyond the studio.
Her influence is felt in YHC’s high standards, its warmth and its attention to the complete student experience—from signature HOT26+ classes to the small rituals that make the center feel like home, including Regina’s much-loved chai.
Bob French
Bob brings more than 30 years of executive leadership, strategy, sales and organizational development to Yoga Health Center. His background spans enterprise sales, entrepreneurship, business advisory and world-class athletic competition.
At Yoga Health Center, Bob leads strategy, growth and community partnerships. As lead author of Living Well Takes Practice, he advances the center’s whole-person philosophy and the belief that human capacity develops through consistent practice.
Clarity, care and a healthy future.
Madison brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience to the studio community she already knows and loves.
Before joining YHC as General Manager, Madison served for four years as CEO of One Step Beyond, leading an organization with more than 200 employees and a budget exceeding $20 million. At YHC, she leads day-to-day operations, our wellness-advisor team, member experience and staff alignment.
A complete center for practice and connection.
Our teachers and wellness advisors bring different disciplines and personalities together around one standard: meet people where they are, teach with care and help them continue.
