Ended up being 3 mins late to class and the class was locked. I understand policies so you don't disrupt other students, but you should put directions down in the parking garages or arrows for stairs if you're going to be so strict on it. That's not what hospitality, peace, or calmness is about. Corporate slop of a yoga studio, go to small ones instead. I used to go all the time in Honolulu and it wasn't like that.

Its full service, so you just have to show up, and your mat and props are ready to go. She also offers water, tea, and fruit. I have tried a majority of the teachers and classes. So if you are new to the studio or to yoga, then I highly recommend signing up for the one week beginner trial and trying as many classes as you can to get a feel for all the different classes and teachers. There are many teachers who I love and connect with, and to be honest their are some who's teaching styles don't speak to me. That's the beauty of this place and all the options. I did see someone leave a one star review that only took one class, and said that this place is only for beginners. I've been doing yoga for years, and have taken Flow and Power Flow classes at this studio with Faye, Chantal, and Virginia where they tried to guide you through more advanced poses/ techniques. Even in the gentle flow classes that I've taken with Faye and Darby, they give you the space to make it your own practice and go into more advanced techniques if you have them in your practice during their class. They always offer different options for everyone in class, based on their experience/ practice/ body. I also highly recommend taking breathwork with Elaine on Monday nights and the sound bath on Sunday nights, and give it a second chance if you're tried it once before. The first time, its hard to get out of your head, but once you can get present and go with the flow of what your body needs, its a great experience. I always feel lighter afterwards.

The Studio: You walk up the stairs and immediately feel like you are in an urban sanctuary above the city. The space is light, bright, and spacious, with warm tones, natural light, and a calm energy throughout. There are two yoga rooms, an infrared sauna room, changing rooms, and cubbies inside the practice space. The reception area includes complimentary tea, a water station, and a simple self check-in. Friendly staff are present if you need anything. The Class/Teacher (Shiva Flow at 12:30 p.m.): After a morning job, slipping into this midday class was an absolute treat! Michelle May personally welcomed me, made sure I had a tour, brought blocks and a strap to my mat, and introduced herself before we began. We started in Easy Pose, where she opened with philosophy on tapas, the internal fire we step into to burn away what no longer serves. She guided us to notice the breath, then the mind, simply observing. Three collective Oms to connect the room. And then we were off...halfway through Sun B, I realized there was no music, just Michelle's voice and the sound of the room breathing together. It was that powerful. This was a strong, continuous flow with options for Crow, Flying Crow, Flying Splits, and creative transitions, such as Tree to Extended Standing Split and Half Moon to Warrior 3 and back again. Michelle continually reminded us to tap into the fire, breathe, and let go. It was that "non-stop, can't stop, don't want to stop, ahhhh, feels so good" kind of yoga. When we finally came down to the mat, she offered hands on adjustments. In reclined Eagle, she anchored my shoulder and gently guided my crossed knees toward the floor (serious Divine release!). We closed the same way we began, seated, noticing the breath, noticing the mind, three collective Oms. This class was FIRE, but conscious fire. Practical Notes: Free parking lot across the street designated for Shiva Yoga Complimentary tea and water station Self check-in system Infrared sauna room Changing rooms and bathroom Cubbies inside the yoga room Friendly, welcoming staff After Effects: I left feeling calmer, clearer, lighter, and very curious about their Power Yoga class.

Whether you have kids of your own or work with kids, it is a wonderful tool to help teach kids about their bodies, emotions, healing, health & wellness. Another great advantage to the program is that they bring in a well respected doctor in western medicine to explain about the physical benefits of the brain, nervous system and the overall health benefits of yoga. No "woo woo," just clear practical truths. Overall, the classes were fun, informative and inspiring. All other students who attended were amazing and already up to big things and doing good in the world. I didn't realize how kids really loooove to do yoga.

And even if you're not interested in becoming a yoga teacher, this training would be great for parents, child-care providers, and school teachers.

Light Leader founders, Blaire & Crystal, are both supportive, friendly and helpful. They gave me lots of room to play and grow my practice while learning about the children we are trained to teach: ages 3-12 years. Shortly after graduating with Light Leaders, I got a job teaching the Sunday morning Children's Yoga class (for 6-12 year olds) at Golden Bridge Yoga in Hollywood! Thank you Blaire and Crystal for all your LOVE and support!! Keep growing, and training teachers so that we can reach all the future yogi's of the world!! Sat Nam!

Within the first five sessions, my hand tremor was gone, my posture was changed, and my pain was significantly reduced. Sarah uses her intuition and knows the body like no one I've ever met. Each session is tailored to what your mind and body need that day. In the year we've been working together, we've done Pilates based workouts, myofascial release body work, and energy work.

Then, through a hail-Mary web search, I discovered Body Lab LA. With Sarah's expert guidance, release work, physical rehab, and mind and muscle re-patterning, I got FULL ACCESS to my body back! I can run, jump, dance, hike, skip and frolic to my heart's content! In addition to helping my heal and rehab my body from the broken leg, Sarah also helped me release and re-pattern old, stuck injuries from years past. So now I can add more things to the things I can do again, like handstands, cartwheels, and (working on) pull-ups. My biggest win recently was a 9 mile hike in Sedona, where I played with handstands on Devil's Bridge! I am so grateful to to have my body back, AND to have the tools to stay in good relationship with it for the rest of my life. THANK YOU SARAH!!!

I chose this studio intentionally while dealing with health issues and purchased an unlimited…read moremembership. At first, the staff were friendly, and I met some genuinely kind people. Unfortunately, one employee, Mason, repeatedly spoke to me in a way I found rude and unprofessional during class, publicly "correcting" me despite my using modifications that other instructors had explicitly approved due to health reasons. To avoid further issues, I stopped taking his classes. Outside of class, I asked Mason a simple question about baked goods he sells at the studio, and he ignored me entirely--looking away and not responding. After that interaction, the environment noticeably shifted. Staff who had previously been friendly stopped acknowledging basic greetings, avoided eye contact, and treated me differently than other clients. Sophie also participated in this behavior. I was only attempting basic politeness and engagement related to the practice. The behavior felt deliberate and exclusionary, not incidental. For example, when I reached 300 classes at this studio, no one asked me to sign the barre--despite that milestone being clearly tracked in the system. I had signed at 100 classes previously and went on to complete 50 more classes after reaching 300, yet it was never acknowledged. I was consistently polite and respectful. The change in treatment was noticeable and unexplained. I stayed longer than I should have because I needed consistency while ill, but the passive-aggressive exclusion continued. As an unambiguous Black woman in a predominantly white space, this experience felt like microaggressive ostracization rather than a misunderstanding. I contacted ownership when I left, but no meaningful action was taken. I'm sharing my experience so others don't encounter this kind of treatment during a vulnerable time in their lives.
