The Yoga Space: Minimalist, with warm wood tones, all sun-lit by a giant oval skylight overhead. The Class (Flow with Bailey Kai): This was a music-driven, cue-based flow that works for all levels. Bailey's teaching style is beginner-friendly for anyone who is looking to explore yoga in a beautiful setting with great music. She guides the movement first, then names the pose in English. It allows the body to learn easily, which is a great for new students. The class unfolded as one long, continuous flow that gradually built. Near the end, we were offered an optional peak pose of Birds of Paradise. As we down-regulated with grounded stretching, the playlist slipped into a moody, hypnotic feel of "Want It" by Mk.gee (gentle, inward, & beautifully timed: https://youtu.be/ZXVCmYWCOwI?si=U1tWC20pIELUMylK), followed by grounded stretching and savasana. I brought a friend (one of my favorite yoga teachers;-), and she appreciated some of Bailey's creative cueing. Always a good sign when a teacher enjoyed class. This Class Is Perfect For: - Beginners who want clear, movement-based guidance - Intermediate students who love a smooth, continuous flow that gradually builds, with add-ons and a peak pose - Anyone wanting music-driven movement without added heat in a beautiful space Final Take: OPEN with Bailey Kai delivers an accessible, long flow in a beautiful sun-lit space. Perfect when you want to generate your own heat and move in a steady, continuous rhythm. Practical Notes: Street parking nearby and a $5 lot across the street for OPEN clients. Mats and towels provided. Water station, bathroom, sauna, and cold plunge available.

Mats and yoga blocks were provided. Julia was our instructor--easy to follow, with the perfect tone for yoga--and one of my favorite parts was how she made hands-on adjustments to improve both form and experience. During Savasana, she made an adjustment and I literally had this vision: multiple silhouettes of the same figure, each a different color, warped and scattered everywhere. As I settled into the adjusted pose, the silhouettes began merging into one grounded unified body made of a bright white light. I then realized that was my experience individual form. It was such a beautiful moment, and I didn't realize yoga could do that for me. The funny thing is, it was the most basic pose--you're just lying down--but the simple adjustment to my shoulders and back had such a powerful effect on my mind and body. My friend, who I went to the class with, noticed the change in me afterward--like something had unlocked--and appreciated this new aspect of my demeanor and essence. Honestly, it was one of the most impactful yoga experienced i've ever had. Thank you, Julia and Love yoga.

Summary: A soulful, fire-lit Saturday experience blending heat, movement, ritual, sound, and…read morecommunity. First Impression: Check-in happens at a reception desk, where you're given a small chip to place at the head of your mat for the teacher to collect. It's a simple ritual, but it immediately signals that you're stepping into something more mindful than just another workout. The Space: The studio feels clean, modern, and calm. The foyer is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to sit, chat, or simply linger between classes. The Class (Heated Power Vinyasa): Beau opened class by sharing that we're approaching a Leo fire moon and closing out the Year of the Snake, a time to burn through what no longer serves us and have the courage to be seen and shine. It was intriguing and immediately set the tone for the practice, especially as we moved through both the external heat of the room and our own internal fire. We sealed the intention with a collective Om, and the flow unfolded naturally from there. The sequence built steadily and rhythmically, moving us around the mat in a fluid, dance-like way. Crow, frog stand, reverse dancer, and options to kick out in Cross-Body Mountain Climber were woven in beautifully. It was high energy without feeling frantic, and the class honestly flew by. As we moved through the heat and effort, it felt natural to visualize shedding layers that no longer serve us. As the class came to a close, it felt like something had been worked through, not just worked out. We ended with a collective Om and an invitation to stay for the next class. The Class (Heated Yin with Sound Bath): The transition into Yin was seamless. Jenny from My Daily Harmony (https://www.instagram.com/mydailyharmony/) joined with sound bowls layered over beautiful music, including James Blake's I Need a Forest Fire. Beau kept the poses grounded and supportive, allowing the sound, music, and light in the room to do their magic. I was completely carried away by the experience. The Teacher: Beau is clearly a dancer, and that shows throughout her teaching. The sequencing had a natural rhythm, and the class felt like a fluid dance rather than a series of poses. She cues in English, her pacing is steady and rhythmic, and she creates a container where strength, playfulness, and release all come through. Overall Experience: After Yin, Beau brought us back and invited everyone outside the yoga room for tea (she personally made) and oracle cards. We gathered around a table, pulled cards, shared the guidebook, reflected, and chatted. It was playful, warm, and a moment of connection that echoed the themes of release, courage, and authenticity woven through the entire experience. The Vibe: Grounded, intentional, and communal. Movement, meaning, and connection come together naturally.

The studio felt clean and spacious with artsy décor all around. They have blocks, blankets and straps for you to borrow. You can also rent a mat for $2, though most people brought their own. Overall, I enjoyed the class and it was a challenging and rewarding practice. My only wish is that they would not overpack the classes. I thought 20 people fit comfortably, but then 10 more people walked in and I felt that there was not enough space for everyone to transition between poses safely. We were so close to each other that we would accidentally kick or hit one another.

He was supposed to sing until 8:30pm but he went a little bit over; however, the park employees stuck to the agreed upon time and shut the restrooms down around 7:45pm. I think porta potties were available. The issue with this park is the parking. Every year they host a big singer in the music industry for their summer concert series but they never have ample parking. I think the city needs to invest in shuttle service and rent out a big lot so people can park remotely and hop on a shuttle to the concert. They can charge a fee to park which would get more people to ride share. I did find parking at the Chase Bank for $13. I got there at 5:45pm. So hunting for parking shouldn't have been a thing. There aren't many trees there so make sure wear sunscreen and wear a sun hat. There were food trucks there for the event. I just stopped at Trader Joe's which is right next to the park. The backdrop is beautiful of the boats in the marina. I will still come but they need to address the parking issues.

The locker room is what you'd expect in a facility open to the public, but the pool itself, water quality, staff attitude and lifeguards are all first class. The pool water temperature and chlorine levels are nearly always right where they should be. At times when I've forgotten my goggles, I have completed my workout without great eye discomfort. Currently, October 2022, the pool is not open as many hours as it was prior to the pandemic. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the pool is divided in half with four lanes for laps swimmers ; the balance of the pool is reserved for recreational swimmers. There is a diving board for those that pass the swim test. Be sure to check the schedule before heading to the pool as swim lessons can intrude on lap swimming lanes. Children's and adult swim lessons are offered for a modest price, and the classes tend to be small. Most all of the staff wear face masks at all times. As of now, masks are not required for entry. The entry fee has varied over the years, but it has always been very affordable. Right now, 2022, seniors get in for one dollar.

I write this review with trepidation because I do not want this pool to become crowded, but I've…read morebeen searching for a good local pool and hope that this review can help others who are doing the same. This pool is located on the campus of Venice High School, and is open to the public during various hours (see website for details). Also, it is the only indoor pool in that area that I know of beside the one at the Santa Monica 24 hour fitness. The locker rooms, like any public pool, leave much to be desired, and are built like concrete bunkers. The walls and floor are all concrete, thus cold pools of water cover the entire floor and it is freezing in there, especially when you're wet. However one thing I liked was that rather than having actual lockers, there is an attendent behind a cage window that you hand your items to kind of like a coat check. They also have these mesh bags that you can use which hang on these metal poles they set up so that you don't have to put your stuff onto the wet bench or floor. Once you put everything in the bag you simply hand it to the attendant for you to get later. This way you don't have to cram everything into a little locker or worry about bringing your own lock. There are also lifeguards on duty and they have kickboards and poolbuoys available for use. The structure itself is also very well ventilated so though it gets colder than a smaller building, there is less of that strong chlorine smell. All of the attendants and lifeguards on duty are friendly and helpful. The crowd is mixed, though I would say it skews toward the older side. All in all, this is a great place if you're looking for a no frills swim. While you do have to suck it up while you're undressing/dressing before and after swimming if you're going during the colder months (and wet floors and benches are annoying), the pool is spacious and well kept. I also love that it's less than 2 miles from my apt.

I truly believe yoga teachers are artists, and each class is a living expression of their art...something we don't just observe, but move and breathe inside of. Rather than watching a beautiful performance, you become part of it. That is exactly what it feels like to take Kristine Schumann's class. The class began with Emmit Fenn's "Wind," immediately setting a tone of softness, presence, and self-acceptance. Kristine gently reminded us to let go and to embrace ourselves exactly as we are. From there, the class unfolded into a smooth, rhythmic flow that felt less like a workout and more like a slow, continuous dance guided by her voice. Her cueing is impeccable: Clear, spacious, and intuitively timed so movement feels effortless to follow, dancing through familiar shapes, expanding outward and softening back in. Throughout class, Kristine creates a deeply personal and supportive atmosphere. She encourages students by name, offers gentle and respectful hands-on adjustments for alignment, and even incorporates subtle chakra-balancing assists. This is an intermediate-level class expressed in a very graceful way. It's gentle, smooth, and rhythmic, while still quietly challenging. She invites strength through beauty: Extending both arms fully in Trikonasana, playing with lifting one heel or both in standing poses, and exploring subtle balance and engagement without ever breaking the fluidity of the flow. Once we're already deep inside the movement and breath, Kristine begins to softly weave in higher values: Love, beauty, prosperity, joy, and happiness...not as abstract ideas, but as qualities you can actually feel in your body. You don't just hear these words, you experience them somatically. If you're looking for a graceful, supportive intermediate flow, this is a great one to check out. Practical Notes: The studio has four private bathrooms/showers with amenities, three curtained changing rooms, two walls of lockers with built-in locks, and plenty of free parking right outside. Tone of Class: Graceful. Uplifting. Flowing. Level: C2, Intermediate Music Feel: https://youtu.be/JMYUBcv3v94?si=g4u9e8bjp-_Ws1GW read more

I enjoyed the C2 - CorePower Yoga 2 with Natasha. She is an excellent instructor with a great sense of humor. Pros: - They offer free, unlimited parking without the hassle of validation, and finding a parking spot is easy since they share the lot with other businesses in the shopping center. - The staff at the front desk are friendly and welcoming. - Amenities such as lockers, showers, and mat rentals are available. - The workout is intense and leaves you feeling hot and sweaty. However, there are a few drawbacks to consider: Cons: As many other reviews have mentioned, the cleanliness of the studio, especially the showers, leaves much to be desired. During my visit, I encountered unclean showers with lingering hair that appeared to have not been cleaned in a while, unrelated to the previous user. The studio's floor also showed signs of neglect. It's unfortunate that the cleanliness issue, as indicated by numerous reviews, seems to persist without any noticeable improvements, despite it being a long-standing concern. I've visited their other locations, which were noticeably cleaner. - Having explored various yoga studios in the area, including Hot 8, Modo Yoga, and Sweat Yoga, I'm familiar with the cleanliness standards. Unfortunately, this particular location falls short in this aspect. read more

The class begins with a collective Om and settling breathwork, then moves into a steady, rhythmic flow. This is an intermediate-level class with light heat that builds energy and then gently slows down with stretching at the end. (Sidenote: no balancing or long holds - mostly all flow.) The class closes with a chant (with the option to join or simply listen), ending together with "Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti." The Indian-inspired music adds to the grounded, cohesive feeling of the space. Practical notes: The bathroom is just outside the studio and is easy to access and very clean. There are no showers, but the gentle heat makes them unnecessary. Free, tandem parking lot behind the studio. A thoughtfully guided class with a sense of friendliness and community. Easy to recommend and definitely will be returning!

Summary: If you're looking for a high-energy flow, this isn't that. But if you want a thoughtful,…read morebreath-centered practice that helps you slow down, feel your body, and cultivate steadiness, this class is your go-to. The Space: This studio is a second-floor loft with tall windows and skylights overhead, so natural light pours in. The room is spacious, uncluttered, and simply arranged, which amplifies the quiet, reflective tone of the class. The Class: We began with a collective Om and alternate-nostril breathing, then moved into a steady sequence of Sanskrit-cued postures rather than a flowing practice. (I did have to peek at others for a few poses!) Because there was no music, every breath, footstep, and verbal cue became part of the atmosphere. At first, I felt more self-aware, but that actually drew me deeper into my breath. I ended up finding it rather powerful and reflective. The Teacher: Jerome was warm and attentive, especially with first-timers. He introduced himself, encouraged me to place my mat wherever I felt comfortable, and offered hands-on adjustments that invited the body to relax deeper rather than push harder. Vibe: His use of Sanskrit cueing, paired with steady breathwork (beginning with a collective Om and alternate-nostril breathing), created a classical, contemplative tone. This was not a flow; it was a deliberate exploration of posture and breath. Community: The overall atmosphere felt community-oriented. People were chatting with one another as they gathered up their belongings after class, which made the space feel friendly and welcoming. Practical Notes: I also loved that this is a drop-in studio. There's no advance sign-up needed, just show up with your mat. Parking is free right outside. It's a DONATION-BASED class. Welcome to all! Quick Note: The class isn't heated, but with so much sunlight streaming in, a gentle natural warmth builds throughout the practice.

Asana, philosophy, community. yogazan carries the torch of everything the body needs, and everything the soul craves.
