There are lots of options in that area, as well as most major cities.
http://comedysportzsanjose.com/workshops.html is one.

In San Francisco and Palo Alto there is BATS (improv.org) -- I've taken their
classes and they are great. There is also SF comedy college which offers
improv classes occasionally. Life Plays in Palo Alto, too.

Lots of people learn improv and want to teach it, so there seems to be a steady
flow of small classes being taught. There seem to be more teachers than the
market demands, so they go in and out of business a lot. So googling might be
your best bet. Try googling for "san jose improv classes" for some more ideas.
