Among the many wonderful offerings Gigi has (mommy + me yoga classes, prenatal yoga groups, women's circles, music my whole family loves, soon-to-be doula), she recently lead me and a group of friends through a Mother's Blessing to welcome the birth of my baby, due in October. We chanted, shared, tied blessing bracelets on each other's wrists and created a necklace (each woman placing a bead on it as they said a prayer or blessing for me and my baby). It was truly magical and I'll never forget that day! Gigi has a lovely, disarming way about her and she leaves hearts full everywhere she goes. I'm so fortunate to know her and would highly recommend her for ANY and ALL of her offerings. read more

GIGI IS THE BEST! The absolute best. I am so glad to have discovered her when my first son was three months old and we started going to Mommy & Me yoga classes with her. Then, during Covid, she offered classes via Zoom and I was able to attend again with my younger son. Gigi clearly puts her mamas' (and babies') needs first and makes sure you have a quality, worthwhile yoga experience, both physically and mentally. She listens attentively during "share time," prompting thoughtful shares that promote the community aspect of the group, and also makes sure to ask about any injuries or concerns before starting the physical practice. She also switches up the format week to week to focus on different body parts. Her smaller group classes are especially fantastic because she includes weekly emails of encouragement with journal prompts, and also you get invited to a special chat that's a safe, sacred space for moms to open up and share as much or as little as they want in between classes. She really focuses on building a community, and as a new mother, her groups have done wonders for my mental health during the tough transition to motherhood (and the also-tough transition from one to two kids). There's just an aura around Gigi that is compassionate, strong, inviting, and QUEENLY :) She makes you feel supported and loved and like you can talk to her about anything. She holds space for everyone and is incredibly gifted at leading groups with different levels of needs. To say she's "good people" is a wild understatement, but she is! I love Gigi and would recommend her yoga classes to anyone in a heartbeat :) :) :) read more

I have been lucky enough to do both in person and virtual mommy and me yoga classes with Gigi, and participated in her women's circle. I cannot say enough positive things about my experiences with both. Her warm, inviting, inclusive energy helps her connect with everyone she works with and it even comes through when engaging virtually. If you have the opportunity to work with her whether it be in one of her classes, circles, or doula work- do it! read more

After out first session with Gigi my husband remarked, "oh man, I'm so glad there will be an adult in the room with us when you give birth". We are in our mid 30s, but having someone talk us through the process, help us create a game plan and be a calming presence during the most chaotic days of our life was a game changer. I'm so happy we had her support. read more

I wish I could give Gigi more than 5 stars. I love everything about Gigi! Her positive energy is contagious and she makes everyone she encounters feel so comfortable. I did mommy and me classes with her, and I can't imagine not having her classes and community. The moms from her class have become some of my best friends because of the sense of community and communication from Gigi's circles. Gigi is professional, yet you feel like she's been your friend for years. She's always eager to help a mom any way she can whether online or in person. Gigi is the best! read more

Ugh where do I start?!! Gigi's class was probably one of the most positive and memorable parts of my pregnancy- if not my single favorite! Gigi's class helped me feel amazing throughout my entire pregnancy with minimized back, leg and shoulder pain. The class was fun and manageable with appropriate challenges. As a person, Gigi becomes a true friend and advocate for every one of her students. I looked forward to seeing her every Monday and Wednesday and even though it was a pain to drive all the way to the studio, it was so worth it. Taking her class was significant physical and psychological 'self-care' during my pregnancy. So blessed to have crossed paths and hope to take her class again very soon! read more

Gigi is amazing! She is a well rounded, intuitive, and empowering Yoga Instructor. She knows how to read her students and provide them with what they need in that moment. She is also great with adaptability and honoring everyone with where they are at. Gigi is a connected, loving, and authentic Yogini! read more

Gigi brings peace into every room she walks into. As a teacher her calming, kind presence can make you forget about whatever else is in the outside world. I think this is a rare feature for anyone, and it is supremely valuable in the yoga space. Her staff is pleasant and helpful, and they are always willing to go the extra mile to make you feel at home. The space encourages self love and connection to the love that surrounds us. If you're new to those concepts have no fear-- everything is accessible here. I definitely suggest checking this place out if you're looking to feel good about yourself through your yoga practice. read more

Gigi's classes are very soulful and caring. She really invests her heart into her teaching and as a student you feel that. In particular I like that she adds bits of verbal wisdom and insight to the physical practice. I always walk away from her classes feeling more in touch and more accepting of myself. read more

Gigi was one of the first people I met when I relocated to LA a year ago and I couldn't be more thrilled that she was. One of the most positive and fun people I have ever met, her classes are filled with self-acceptance and non-judgement of those around you. Such a genuine soul who desires to have a lasting impact on everyone who takes her class, she makes time for everyone whether that's with returning a phone call or spending time in the lobby after class. Her classes are not result driven, but instead about listening to your inner teacher and finding the place inside of you that is pure light and love. She is also very active on Social Media as well as the yoga community. I mean teaching yoga at the Santa Monica Pier? That's pretty impressive! I always wanted to find a yoga instructor that would resonate with me, and she is definitely the one. read more

Gigi Yogini hosted my birthday celebration, which was a Women's Circle. The experience was amazing! Everyone was spiritually nourished from Brigitte's evening of programming. She created such a unique and memorable experience, everyone left saying, "This was the best birthday party I've ever been to!" Brigitte has an amazing ability to tap into the intuitive, hold space for others, and lead people to their edge for breakthrough. She is truly a gem and I'm so grateful to practice yoga and all other mind, body, spiritual workings with her! read more

Okay, so I have to preface this review by saying I although I love most people I meet, very few people in my life have I met and had this overwhelming intuition about that goes something like... "Emily, you've met your new teacher." Teacher like...yoga teacher yes, but teacher like-- this is how you learn about being a full of life woman. Which I'm striving for. I met Gigi on New Year's Day of 2012 for a class (Shakti Church @ YogaCo) to bring in the New Year. I had no idea what the hell I was doing, but I was so happy to be there. I can't say enough positive things about Gigi and the way she treats people, gives her full attention, and makes you feel really seen/felt/heard. It is so refreshing to find a yoga teacher who is quite frankly just really kick-ass. Not floaty and sort of oddly ethereal, but real and grounded and full of fire. The class consisted of a lot of breathwork, chanting, core strengthening and accessing that inner shakti energy that is both so sacred and so real. I remember leaving class walking on the street feeling totally in love with life, to the point where two cameramen came up to me and said--hey, you look like you're walking in heaven, can we interview you for this documentary we are making? If you haven't taken a class with Gigi, I highly recommend it. She is medicine to us all, and I bow to her for all the hard work she has done to develop herself as a leader in this community and out into the world. Hell, take two classes with her, or four. They are never the same, and you will leave filling connected, inspired, and ready to live from your heart, rather than head. read more

Gigi is kind, knowledgeable & super welcoming in all of her yoga classes. Her mommy & me yoga at Yogaworks is incredible! She holds space for moms (and families) to come as they are, crying babies and all. She offers modifications for new mamas and their postpartum bodies as well as the option to skip anything or to nurse, change or play with your baby as needed/wanted. I always leave feeling supported and a little more centered. It's so nice to connect with her and other mamas there! I can't recommend her classes enough. read more

I have been going to Gigi's studio for her weekly Women's Circles since February and have found an oasis in the busyness that is L.A. When I arrive hurried from work, my attitude and demeanor immediately transforms to calm, empowered, and joyful as I walk into the lobby. The space is lively with colors, friendly faces, and organized! I've since attended her leadership workshops, events, and yoga classes and I always know that I am getting the utmost care & attention when it comes to my physical and mental wellness. She reminds me at every visit that I am to speak and act out of my own wellbeing and to leave all comparisons and judgements at the door. Thank you for your leadership in empowering others, Gigi! read more

When it comes to Gigi, I am almost always long winded in recommending her as a teacher, I will be brief today. As a teacher, she is thorough and intuitive. I can't think of a better place to cultivate your yoga practice, you will want to go back again and again, and that is a very good thing. She can challenge you with a strong flow practice or soothe you with a restorative nurturing class. Either way, you are in good hands with Brigitte because whether she is teaching a class or just being herself, you will want to be in her presence! read more

Gigi is amazing! We just finished our 8 week women's circle and I am so sad it ended because it was so nourishing for me. Gigi created a safe space for me to connect to women, be seen, share from my heart, be celebrated, be supported and all from the comfort of my own home. Amazing. She is inclusive, authentic, and her integrity is inspiring. I am so excited for participating in more of her offerings! read more

Simply put... Gigi is absolutely incredible. She is one of the premiere yoga instructors in all of Los Angeles. She has an incredible ability to truly transform her clients and connect with them in an unparalleled way. Take her class, you'll love it! :) read more

I have done mommy & me yoga group classes with Gigi and she is so wonderful and her classes are so great. She is so positive, calming, super welcoming. Her exercises are exactly what I need, explaining how to modify depending on what you need that day. I feel great after taking her class. Refreshed, renewed, ready to take on the day. read more

I have spent years taking various classes, private sessions and workshops with Gigi Yogini (aka Brigitte). There is something about her classes that truly inspire me physically, mentally and spiritually. AND they push me to want more from myself, my life and my relationships. I am always left wanting more and wanting to return to class. Now, for someone who is not the biggest fan of "working out" or "physical activity" that is saying something. Anyone who walks into Gigi's classes are not only lucky but in for a super healthy addiction! Don't hesitate one more minute and book a private session, attend a workshop or drop into one of her classes. You wont be disappointed. read more

Gigi rocks it from the moment she enters the studio. I religiously take her restorative classes every Friday evening, which are wonderful in every possible way. Most of all, she has a huge heart, beaming smile and an insuperable optimistic attitude. read more

I have never met someone more committed to her craft than Brigitte! I have attended several yoga workshops with Brigitte and all of the workshops are incredibly inspiring and empowering. I cannot say enough amazing things about this yoga instructor! I can't wait for the next workshop!!! read more

A close yoga friend of mine had originally recommended visiting Gigi and her studios. I was mostly intrigued that it's a boutique studio hidden in a lovely part of LA. Can I give Gigi and her studio MORE than 5 stars? Maybe 10?! The studio itself is very beautiful, comforting, and homey. I attended the Friday morning Women's Circle and let me say to all the ladies out here -- you are ACCEPTED. This is a place where we hold space for each other to just "be" and to connect. It was an amazing experience, and I'm hoping to get out there for more Women's Circles soon. Gigi is a very genuine and authentic soul and knows her business and is so welcoming to newcomers. I'm soooo glad my friend told me about this place as it already feels like a "yoga home" to me. read more

Best yoga instructor I've ever had! Amazing energy, excellent flow, always corrects me when I'm off.

Gigi (Brigitte) is hands down the best yoga teacher I've ever worked with. She has an intuitive understanding of the body -- its potential and its limitations -- that is positive yet accepting and doesn't involve drawn-out lectures about names of bones or chakras. She is also genuinely interested in watching, listening, and responding to her students' practices and not just modeling her own. Probably because of that, she is great at using props to help you accomplish poses that would otherwise feel out of reach. She makes beginners feel comfortable and supported and finds ways to challenge, inspire, and surprise experienced yogis. Wherever you are in your practice, you will find her classes to be joyful and rewarding. read more

Gigi Yogini is one of my all time favorite yoga teachers. With her, it is so much more than a physical practice. it is a loving experience that I get to embark upon within myself. What she stands for radiates from her and from her classes: joy, empowerment, acceptance, self-love, expression! I leave uplifted, revived and purified. What a gifted teacher. read more

Gigi was a super woman today on the Santa Monica mountain, Temescal trail. I only met her today when my friend fell and broke her ankle bone on our way back down from the Temescal Fall, and Gigi was passing by. She offered her help by carrying my friend (Bongnae) down the trail on her back ! This is really unusual help I expected from a total stranger ! After my friend was safely carried to the bottom of the trail, we asked her name and she said she is known as Gigiyogini. I wanted to thank you Gigi! for your extraordinary kindred helping spirit you demonstrated today. You were literally a super woman today ! I have never been to your class nor your studio but I am now interested in finding more about you. Kay Duncan read more

Gigi can create an atmosphere, wherever she may be that invites women to open up and truly appreciate themselves. Through yoga, circle, and other events she creates safe spaces that bring out the best in people. I would highly reccomend her for a private yoga session, to attend one of her retreats, or just drop into one of her public classes. read more

I've been to a few different yoga studios and I have to say they have all been good experiences. Gigi was great, she took time to check in with me to find out where my problem areas were and worked in some thorough back stretching. I work in an office and my posture isn't always perfect and I've been able to use her great advice at home to keep up my flexibility and mobility. I don't say this often but the experience was transformative and I was calm and clear minded after her class. read more

Gigi's is an amazing yoga teacher and I highly recommend trying out one of her yoga classes! They are both energizing and grounding at the same time and you can really feel how much of herself Gigi puts into each and every class. Give her a chance, you'll love her! read more

It's hard to find instructors better than Gigi! First of all, when you walk into her class you are greeted with such LOVE and WARMTH. Her classes are so inviting and welcoming, unlike some that I have been to. She always greets you with a big smile, which makes me feel like I belong. Beyond her kind and loving spirit, her ability to teach is outstanding. Even though I have been practicing yoga for years, I always walk away having learned something new about better breathing, hip alignment, proper posing, you name it. Her classes are challenging and fun and go by so quickly. I get to her classes as often as I can and feel so blessed to have found such an amazing teacher in Gigi! read more

I am sad to say I am not writing a review of Gigi's facilities. I haven't been there, as I live in Northern California, and I've never met the woman. However, I was lucky enough to run across one of her videos a couple of years ago that resonated with me so much that I looked for anything and everything else she's done that is open to the public. I have taken classes from a variety of yoga teachers. Some were absolutely phenomenal, but I have never felt as accepted, right where I am, as much as I felt that with her... ON A VIDEO! Her warmth comes through so clearly. Although I've yet to meet her, I follow her on all social media just because what she has to say is seemingly what I need to hear. I hope to one day make a road trip to SoCal just to take her class. I am a chubby 50+ year old woman who doesn't just love yoga for the exercise, but also for its life changing teachings. I highly recommend Gigi Yogini, however you can find her, at her studio, in a video, on Twitter, whatever... She's the real deal in an adorably sweet package! read more

If you're searching for the ultimate, the very best possible experience in a yoga teacher, look no further. This woman is made of pure smiling awesomeness. Her energy is an inspiration to all who encounter her. She is a perfect blend of wit and sacredness, joy and groundedness, activation and restoration. Never pretentious, always coursing raw energy and love into everything and everyone around her, Gigi Yogini is a living embodiment of the word Shakti :) read more

Gigi is a great yoga teacher. Attending one of her classes is always a pleasure. Gigi knows her stuff. The flow and sequencing in her class is fun, challenging, and safe. On top of it all she is creative and caring. read more

Gigi Yogini is a gifted and uplifting yoga teacher. I participated in her yoga retreat at Soulshine, Bali in March, 2013. She welcomed my 8 year old son to join our group of all adults, which was incredible. She had a unique way of handling a group of yogis at all different levels of flexibility and experience. Gigi, also known as Brigitte Coba has experience teaching yoga to urban youth. As a result, she brings a gutsiness and fun way of connecting with groups. I was also quite impressed with her level of training; no one got injured despite some challenging poses. Gigi integrated the esoteric breathing practices, kirtan(the chanting), and meditation. She also used a killer playlist when it was time to get funky. I highly recommend any of her yoga retreats. read more
