This training was incredibly transformative, and a huge part of that was Lou and the experience of working in his beautiful studio, Astro Gong. From the moment we stepped into the space, you could feel the intention behind it. The studio itself is stunning -- grounding, expansive, and filled with an energy that immediately invites presence and depth. Being surrounded by his collection of gongs and instruments created an atmosphere that felt both sacred and inspiring. Lou is a true gong master. His knowledge, passion, and reverence for the instrument are undeniable. Watching him play and learning directly from him ignited something powerful within me -- a deep desire to connect more fully with the gong and explore its potential. He teaches not just technique, but relationship -- how to listen, feel, and allow the instrument to speak. The experience inside his studio alone was worth it. It felt immersive, intentional, and deeply moving. I left feeling inspired, expanded, and profoundly grateful.

My dr told me that breathing exercises should be included for anyone over 60. The front desk is helpful, the studio and locker room clean.

I highly suggest Sweat Yoga West Hollywood. I'll be back next week.

The class was challenging, and the heat was no joke, but Eric was super encouraging, and the music made the class feel less stressful. I love that they provide mats and towels when you arrive, and the studio is very well maintained. The studios and showers are super clean. However, parking is a pain since it is in Weho, I recommend giving yourself 10-20 minutes to find parking.

This place is amazing!…read more The people are so friendly, the aesthetic is divine, and the classes are hard, hot, and humbling. When I found out this studio was not only 10 minutes away from home, had free parking and infrared, I was in. I took Bailey's 9 am mat Pilates and wow did it rock me (in the best way). They have hiit, yoga, mat Pilates and more. Will definitely be coming back! See you on the mat.

This is a lovely studio run by incredibly knowledgeable and kind people. I have attended several of…read moreEmily's classes and always enjoy that I find her flows challenging and her energy warm and calming. Whenever I visit I always notice that the instructors put a lot of effort into fostering relationships with and between their students and I think that's really cool. I see the instructors greeting most of their students by name, checking in after class with their students, excitedly introducing them to each other with thoughtful details. The practice space is bright and open and is fully stocked with immaculate Manduka mats, blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets available for use during classes and of course there are paper towels and mat cleaner on hand for you when you're done. There are also lockers outside the practice space with locks available for free so you can feel secure leaving you shoes, phone and whatever else outside the room while you practice. Aside from their yoga classes I went to one of Hyperslow's other events for the first time recently, the Full Moon Ceremony they had at the beginning of March led by Asher. It was unlike any thing else I had experienced! The breath-work was intense as was the sound experience created by the four Hyperslow instructors venturing in and out of the corners of the room between singing bowls and gongs. The energy in the room was electric, and I walked out feeling refreshed and renewed. I cannot recommend highly enough that you check Hyperslow out as soon as you are able. The founders, Asher and Emily, are two of the nicest people you could meet. They've assembled a group of skilled, caring instructors and fostered a beautiful community of yogis. Go take a class!

The mindfulness that is seamlessly weaved into each asana, and the meditation that is honored at the beginning and end of each practice is nothing short of magic. I am lucky to have just started teaching in this beautiful space, but I am still a student more then ever. There is so much to learn from each teacher here, as they all pour their heart and knowledge into sharing this loving ancient practice.

North Ray Yoga deserves every bit of this 5-star review…read more I recently took my first class after not having a real workout routine in years, and I was incredibly nervous. From the moment I walked in, Payton at the front desk made me feel so welcome. She was kind, warm, and made what could have been an intimidating experience feel comfortable. The instructors, especially Ms. T, were equally wonderful. Everyone was encouraging and created such a positive environment. Unfortunately, during class I started feeling lightheaded and my ears began ringing. I was embarrassed and honestly felt defeated. I ended up stepping out because I knew I needed to listen to my body. Instead of feeling judged, I was met with so much kindness and support. A gentleman outside gave me water with electrolytes and reminded me of something I really needed to hear: that I should be proud of myself for showing up. It was my first class in a long time, and he helped me remember that taking the first step is an accomplishment in itself. What stands out most about North Ray Yoga isn't just the workout--it's the people. The kindness, patience, and encouragement I received turned what could have been an embarrassing experience into one that left me feeling supported and motivated to come back. Thank you to Payton, Ms. T, and everyone at North Ray Yoga for creating such a welcoming space. You made a lasting impression on me, and I can't wait to try again.

Amazing first experience! Doing both one of there classes and hot yoga! I joined a friend of mine…read morethis past Thursday and I can see where his love for this place comes from. Starting with super sweet and friendly customer service from Hagar. Jordan checks me in and was sweet too. Also want to shout out the maintenance guy Elijah. He was also cool, helpful and has the entire place immaculate. For my class, Philip was our instructor. He was really good. I'd do his class again. But I'm looking forward to returning and trying both other types of classes and instructors. Overall, I definitely recommend it for a great sweat. Parking is offered which is of course great here in Los Angeles.

First, I want to make clear this review is solely about the corporate office, which has been taken…read moreover by greedy people who show zero integrity in running a business. The irony of them being in charge of a yoga business is not lost on me. As for any people thinking of joining this studio. You are and will be FINANCIAL PREY as long as you interact with this business. That said, the front desk staff and teachers and individual studio managers are amazing and deserve way more appreciation than they get, and maybe it's time for them to really think hard about that. The new people in corporate will lie, reneg on promises made, and make fraudulent charges with no hesitation in doing so. They agreed to a certain rate for my membership, and although it was never discussed or agreed upon, they downgraded my membership tier without ever disclosing it. I have emails that back this up. However, this isn't one instance. Since the new corporate team has moved in, I have had several charges added to my account that I didn't agree to, I've spoken to people who have experienced the same, and the corporate staff hide behind the people working at the front desk, leaving those workers to deal with clients angered about it because they are too cowardly to answer for their own actions. I cannot in good faith recommend this studio to anyone, and I've been a member since 2014 (which means nothing to them). The new corporate team came in only recently. I suggest everyone here vote with their dollars, which are becoming more and more precious in this economy. Stay conscious in who you offer your money to, and stay aligned with your personal integrity, because this studio has none, in my opinion.

The Vibe: A Deep Exhale…read more The message begins outside with a giant reminder: BREATHE. Enough said, right? As soon as I walked in, MJ welcomed me & gave me a tour of the space. As we walked through the studio, we ran into our guide, Joe Kara. Meeting your yoga teacher before class is such a treat, and Joe was just as kind, welcoming, & grounded as MJ. The Guide: Joe Kara's Urban Flow 60 We began seated, grounding into the Earth and connecting with our ujjayi breath before moving through Surya Namaskar to gradually awaken the body. The class unfolded into a beautiful, steady vinyasa flow , one breath, one movement at a time. Joe's music was intentionally lyric-free: down-tempo electronic tracks. Songs like You Wish by Nightmares on Wax carried the practice forward, matching the rhythm of his calm, steady voice. As Joe moved quietly throughout the room, he read the energy of his students. His cues invited us to deepen through breath, alignment, & awareness. With permission, I received two assists during class. The first was in Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose, helping my body soften deeply into the fold. We played with rolling side-to-side in Parsva Dhanurasana (Side Bow Pose), which was new for me and had me feeling it in all sorts of places. Before I knew it, we were in savasana, where I received my second assist: A gentle grounding of my shoulders into the floor. It felt like I was melting into the Earth () We closed seated, observing the quality of our breath, the quality of our mind, & the quality of our spirit before Joe thanked us for sharing our energy, time, & presence with him on our beautiful Sunday morning. Ahhhh, yoga really is that sweet. The Tribe: Moving Together, Exploring Individually There was a nice collective rhythm in the room. We moved together breath by breath, yet Joe created plenty of opportunities to explore our own practice. Want to play with Crow to Headstand, handstands, or forearm stands? Explore. Prefer to stay with the back-bending sequence and his steady guidance? It's all good. That freedom to challenge yourself or honor exactly where you are is one of the things I love about yoga. The Space & Place: Industrial Calm & Simplicity Urban 728 is an unassuming little hidden treasure in Los Angeles. The exterior is modern and minimalist, with a giant BREATHE mural, a threshold between the outside world and the practice waiting inside. Inside, the space feels open, airy, and simple: Clean lines, natural light, polished concrete floors, warm wood details, and a fun retail area (I indulged ). The yoga room itself is spacious and beautiful, with dark wood floors, high ceilings, white walls, and plenty of room to move and breathe. Practical Notes - Parking: Free parking lot. Amenities: Private showers, restrooms, & plenty of amenities. Heat: Warm, but not hot. I came away with a light sweat (a shower is optional - I chose to simply change clothes). Good to Know: From MJ's thoughtful tour to Joe's welcoming presence and mindful assists, there was a genuine sense of care throughout the entire experience. The Sum-Up: A giant wall says BREATHE before you enter. Joe spends the next 60 minutes guiding you back to it. And by the end, you simply feel better.
