I've checked out a lot of studios around LA and this one is my favorite!! I love the small studio vibe. I feel instantly relaxed the moment I walk in the door. They have a great outdoor patio and the staff is welcoming and warm. The classes are a perfect mix of challenging and fun. I mostly take the power vinyasa classes but they also have yin. The instructors are detailed and have a knowledge of alignment and anatomy. They make the classes fun and the playlists are always perfect. Jamie and Heather are tied for my favorite teachers. Definitely worth checkign out - plus they gave me my first 3 classes for $20. It's my home away from home! read more

This place is ZA best. I've come to Manhattan Beach a handful of times over the past few years and continue to find myself visiting the Green Yogi time after time. I too did the intro offer for three classes at 20 dollars. I used these three classes over the course of about two years, yes the offer never expires which is key! Love the place, love the people, love the vibes. read more

The Green Yogi is one of those places one should do in their Yoga club crawl. The only reason I do not rate this place at 5 stars is because of difficulty in finding parking (I know its at the beach) and the classes do tend to get crowded. Hence, I don't go very often. Even so, this does not detract from the actual class experience. Overall, the quality of instructors is excellent. I am particularly fond of Tamal Dodge and Jamie Horgan's style of classes. They both are some of South Bay's finest yoga teachers. They occasionally have a live DJ or musicians for certain classes. Furthermore, the pricing is reasonable. The students that come to the class are all ages and all levels. You do not get a lot of show offs disrupting class. Also, there is a very low almost non existent douche bag factor meaning that if you are a lady you won't be subject to those trendy yoga pick up lines (Think Ogden from Inappropriate Yoga guy). read more

Love this studio. The instructors are all amazing and accommodating and the studio is adorable. You will get an amazing work out and a nice little relaxation sesh at the very end. Parking can be a beast so get there early. Also, Saturdays are CRAZY busy - give yourself enough time to get there at least 30 mins early for the 8am class. Definitely worth checking out this studio whether you're a newbie or advanced yogi. Great experience either way! read more

Plain and simp, I love The Green Yogi. The mood of the studio reflects it's neighbor - the ocean, because each class has it's own unique powerful ebb and flow. I have taken classes with Julie, Jaclyn, Heather, and Matt, and would recommend them all for their challenging and dynamic classes that will leave you dripping in salty sweat. And like the sea, the studio is open and welcoming to all and doesn't have an air of pretentiousness or extravagance. It is natural and unassuming while still having style and strength. It feels like home. The space is calm and clean. I like the studio because even though it is modest in size, it still has enough space for an airy practice room, a small front desk area, and a zen-like waiting area al fresco. The only downside to the studio is that I wish there were more classes! There are only two early morning classes a week, which is something that I hope will change in the future. It would be great to be able to start my day off before work with The Green Yogi more often! Lastly: For being on Highland, a busy street, the parking sitch at The Green Yogi isn't too bad. There are many metered spots in front of the studio, as well as a parking structure a block north of the studio on the corner of Highland of Rosecrans. See you soon, yogi bears. read more

Had an amazing, intense class while traveling. There were lots of people squeezed into the class, and it was especially entertaining when the instructor told us to turn toward Hermosa, and my friends and I were lost for a moment! Would love to return for another class! read more

4.5 stars. I am officially obsessed! Tamal rocks my world every time and Jamie and Amy really stretch me to my limits. Pretty new to yoga (in public, anyway) and SoCal in general so I thought I'd feel out of place, but their "all levels" classes really do mean just that. Yeah, it can get a little crowded when one class is leaving as another is coming in (tight, but awesome, lobby quarters), and yeah, it can get kinda steamy in the studio (ummmm it is yoga), but those who think it a "clusterf*ck" obviously have a little yoga chip on their shoulder and sadly can't find it in them to chillax enough to give it another shot. No snobs here. Can't beat the $95 monthly unlimited! Awesome teachers, awesome vibes... I am a changed person :-) Not gonna tell you where I park, though....! read more

They say the classes are for all levels and that you should talk to the instructor ahead of time. I went and the class was absolutely NOT all levels. The instructor seemed more interested in showing off her form and ability than watching the class to see if anyone was struggling. After 30 minutes, I left but what was the worst is that I had injured myself and haven't been able to do Yoga since September. Also extremely difficult to find parking, classes are super full at all times. They should have a class for people who are just starting or renewing their practice. read more

This is my favorite place to do yoga! It is literally 2 minutes from the beach! The studio is clean and the instructor I go to (Christine) is great! I really like the style of yoga and it is a real workout! She plays good music too--nothing that will make you fall asleep. Too bad this place is so far from me. I hope they open a new location....somewhere North of MB. read more

This place is fantastic! They have a great studio with dome well qualified instructors. If you're a morning person like me who likes to practice before work, their schedule is limited but the evening a weekend classes make up for this slight inconvenience. read more

After shopping around several studios in the area, this place just stood out way above the others I tried out. The price is amazingly low (for yoga), you sweat like crazy and get a really intense workout, and I like how the waiting room smells. It reminds me of cucumber melon, but I know it's not exactly that. After going to 24 Hour Fitness yoga classes for 3 months, I decided I just wanted to focus on my yoga practice. I knew I had to go to a yoga studio because as far as 24 classes go, it was as if I'd already mastered it. But now, I'm doing headstands and other inversions that I never would've been able to do before The Green Yogi! read more

I'm a fan! I've been coming here on a Groupon (I think it was $5 for 3 classes - amazing) and am totally satisfied. The staff are friendly, the instruction is strong, the vinyasa flows powerfully. Parking isn't fabulous at peak times, but this studio looks, sounds and feels like a boutique spa, so you forget all your troubles once inside. Jamie Horgan's classes are simply amazing - best in the south bay! I wish they had more classes on the weekends - right now they only offer about two on each weekend day?! Not all of us are housewives in MB, Green Yogi! Get the weekend classes roaring, please! :) read more

I took my first yoga classes ever here. While I don't have much experience to compare it to, I do like the smaller space because it means fewer students per class. This allows the instructor to provide more personalized attention to make sure each student has the correct form and don't injure themselves. There is a quaint little seating area outside of the studio for students to wait for their session to begin. read more

Very welcoming ad amazing classes offered. Somewhat pricey ($108/mo or $15/class) but they offer great deals and community classes for less. They now offer online classes live! I'm very new to yoga and felt comfortable during the classes. Heather is an awesome instructor. She teaches vinyasa flow tues/thurs. If you have an opportunity to take one of her classes, I'd definitely encourage it! The only negative is the schedule. They sit offer many classes that fit my schedule and the classes are over crowded. read more

My first time EVER doing yoga... Best experience EVER You can go at your own pace, no pressure to be an expert ASAP, if you're struggling a bit the teacher pops over to help. I'm so glad my friend brought me here. I wound up purchasing a package... Just had to lol can't wait to go back next week!! read more

Everybody at the Green Yogi was kind and helpful. The instructor was good at describing positions so I didn't have to look at others in the class, well not as much as in other classes...I'm no yogi! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the instructor was friendly and approachable. I will be returning. read more

Cute yoga studio with friendly staff. They have a cool area in the back where you take off your shoes. The studio is pretty small so make sure to go early so that you get a good spot. There are mats and towels for rent. I went recently for a yoga session and sound bath and it was a really cool experience. read more

Came once via Groupon deal for a Sunday evening Yin Relxation class. The location & studio itself is very charming. Parking is annoying. Most visitors appear to live nearby. Staff was okay. Missed wiping several spots along the hardwood floor after earlier Vinyasa class. I didn't enjoy stepping on sweat puddles. The bolsters are also a bit on the damp side. The instructor for this Sunday evening class was subbing. She was awesome; helped me with several prenatal modifications. I would return if she was teaching more often. read more

I've been practicing yoga for more than 4 years now, and had constantly been searching for the perfect studio for me, Voila, I found One!, the green Yogi. I love the Vinyasa Flow style. Love the Tuesday and Thursday 7am class with Heather Archer, very good instructor. I also love the Sunday 8am class with Tamal Dodge, although his classes are hard and you really sweat, i find it so beneficial and enjoyable. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful. Way to go The Green Yogi!! read more

Love at first sight!! I used to have the best yoga instructor when I lived in the west side and didn't think I would be as pleased with any other class but when I moved to Manhattan beach I discovered The Green Yogi studio through their introductory offer ($20 for 3 Classes). So far I've tried classes with 2 different instructors and they are equally qualified and wonderful. The space could get crowded so it's always a good idea to get there 15 mn prior to the class. Plus you won't mind the crowd once you're in the zone. The studio is walking distance from my apartment so I don't have to deal with parking, but it does look a bit challenging. My advice is park wherever you find a spot and just take a short walk...It'll help warm you up for the class. So glad I found this place!!! read more

Pros: Took Jamie Horgan class and it was wonderful. I like how it really help me unplug from my day and be present. The class was challenging but still had the meditation aspect of yoga involved. Five stars for the class and instructor. Cons: The front desk was a little disorganized when it came to class pass users, and it's hard to refill your water there. They only have one bathroom that's inside the studio so you can only change once the last class is done. When waiting for your class to start, the waiting area can get pretty crowded. I was shoulder to shoulder waiting with other yogis for class to begin. It's a great location by the beach, but parking is hard-to-find. Most likely you will have to park in the parking structure down the street and pay a little. Overall: I really enjoyed the class and the studio is cute. Just some minor inconveniences (I.e., cramped studio, parking) I'm sure because they're so close to the beach and property is expensive. However, I do think they can invest in a high-quality water machine. read more

It is so hot and sweaty in here! The thermostat is turned all the way up and it's hot and stuffy. I have not been this uncomfortable in a long time. You are by the beach and it feels like you are in the jungle. The place is small and cramped and your face is right on someone else's feet. Parking is hard to find and we had to walk 4 blocks away. The waiting room is super small and crowded before and after class. read more

It's peaceful, clean, cozy and smells lovely and you are always greeted with a smile and positive energy! Parking can be a hassle but it's a trade off for being in cute downtown manhattan with the beach nearby and lots of great little cafes. The instructors are ALL so wonderful and well-informed. I love this studio so much that I joined the exchange program trading work hours for yoga training! I love it! Come see me behind the desk on Sunday mornings! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, clean studio, and genuine yoga focusing on the movement and breath, rather than the workout of yoga as many first world studios do. I highly recommend read more

This is a wonderful Yoga venue: totally tranquil setting, with a lovely outdoor patio, and is open to the sweet breezes of the beach. As well, this place boasts some wonderful and lively instructors who just radiate positive energy. There's not a bad one in the bunch! And every instructor offers a unique take on what "Power Yoga" is as well as their own eclectic (but always awesome) taste in music. Matt is an incredible instructor, and even in the hour-long lunch-time "community class," I can feel it the next day. It's very nice when you can get both the intense flow classes that will leave ya sore (in a good way!) but also the more meditative, slow moving classes to calm your nerves all in one studio. If you're a student, like me, take advantage of their $10 student drop-in rates...perfect when you find a $20 in your jeans and want to treat yourself to some yoga ;) read more

I love this yoga studio! My favorite instructor Kristy Kelsey is teaching here now and I am so excited! The size of the room is perfect, not too big and not too small. The class size was full but not overfull. They offer all of the props you need which is huge help - some studios don't offer blankets. Their patio welcome area is really cute. The energy and vibe here is very welcoming and warm. I live in Marina del Rey so I can't come here as often as I would like but Kristy and Heather are my favorite instructors here. I will be here every weekend! :) read more

My friend Suzanne recommended Green Yogi to me in August, and I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it. After herniating a disc in my back a couple of weeks ago (4mm), I decided to give it a shot as I trust my friend's opinions. I'm in love with the studio and the practice now. I just finished my 3 class trial and will be signing up for a monthly membership. I am working with an orthopedic surgeon and a physical therapist at Sports and Spine in El Segundo, and they approve of this studio and me practicing there. I generally take Sesa and 12pm Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, and plan on continuing to practice with her. Sesa has been absolutely amazing with my injury, muscle weakness, and imbalance. I brought the injury to her attention before my first class, and she has paid special attention to me and my alignment. She makes hands on adjustments so that I can do things correctly and constantly emphasizes proper spine alignment throughout class. Between PT, anti-inflammatory medication, and practicing with Sesa, I feel a tremendous amount of relief in my lower back already. The doctor has said I'm improving very quickly and he's impressed. Two thumbs up for Green Yogi and Sesa. I'm looking forward to trying other instructors as well. Update: I'm still obsessed with this studio. I've taken every instructor and you can't go wrong. Chelsea has purchased the studio since I last posted. She has transformed the already great environment and experience into something WONDERFUL. Chelsea is a gem. She wants to get to know all of her clients and students. Say hi to her!! Huge plus - she also teaches classes at the studio! Go to her for some yummy hip openers, deep releases, a big smile, and a heart warming conversation! read more

Its a place for people who like people. Just try all the instructors. Each one has something different to offer.

The green yogi is the best. The staff, atmosphere and energy I would rate 10/10. It has that family vibe to it. Great place.

I've been practicing yoga across the country for the last 8 years, but this is the first studio that I really love to call home. I wake up every morning simply thrilled to go and practice in the gorgeous studio. All the instructors are goddesses and they make it super motivating to lead a healthier more active life. Each class is different, and you can pick and choose which experience you want, whether it be a more nurturing flow, or an intense power workout. The instructors really care about their yogis, and want to help everyone take their practice to the next level. I'm blissed out just writing about it, simply go and see for yourself. read more

When it comes to a Yoga studio - this place is perfect. Amazing location, the girls at reception are all good looking and nice, the studio is clean, the classes work for people of all levels, and you can grab free tea at the end. I have taken a class from every instructor there and they are all outstanding. They charge up the group and still somehow cater to the individuals very well. As long as I am in the SouthBay this will be my Yoga studio. read more

First The Studio is so BEAUTIFUL with a WONDERFUL Vibe, then the staff & members are so welcoming & friendly & every instructor that I experienced there was AWSOME & led a GREAT class!! read more

I take Prenatal yoga here with Chelsea and absolutely love it! I don't have much yoga experience but the instructor in very helpful and informative. It's also a wonderful way to meet other moms in the area. read more

I have been practicing yoga in the south bay for over 13 years. I have seen more than a few studios come and go in these years. Once I find a great studio, I like to share the happy news with all my fellow yogis. Green yogi is THE BEST, BEST, BEST. I have been practicing here for almost 2 years now. It is a warm, inviting, beautiful space. The instructors are all amazing, and they work with all levels of students to make yoga accessible to beginners as well as advanced students in each and every class. You will never feel judged or intimidated here. Everyone is welcome and appreciated. The classes are powerful yet peaceful at the same time, if that makes sense! I don't know how they do it, but it is magic. Mary Strong, the owner, is an amazing, dynamic and committed owner, and makes everyone feel at home from their first visit. She's a great instructor, too! You will be hooked on The Green Yogi after one class. Check it out! read more

Heather and Danielle are my fav teachers. Their classes are perfectly balanced, spiritual, stretchy and yummy. Love!!!!

I have been practicing yoga for 5 years and haven't found a place like the Green Yogi. It really embodies the meaning of yoga.... noncompeting, nonjudgmental, and focused movement and breath. It is a beautiful and refreshing place to practice. The only down side is that their weekend schedule is minimal. I would love to see a couple classes added on Saturdays and Sundays. read more

I have been seriously thinking about taking yoga classes here until my good friend (who is not on Yelp) was telling me that the Green Yogi sent her an email saying that she had attended a yoga class last week and did not pay for it. Keep in mind, she is on ClassPass. My friend thought this was just a misunderstanding and replied back suggesting that they have her mixed up with someone else. A few emails went back and forth. Meanwhile, my friend had NEVER scheduled the class, nor was she physically there as management claimed...Mary (the owner) even told her that her associate asked for the spelling of her name when she was in the studio. When my friend called to plead her case by saying she had taken the day off from work to bring her dog to the vet, the owner asked for proof! Seriously...she had to send her vet documents to these people! She even told my friend that her account will be flagged from now on. Even upon proof, there was no apology on their part. Whatever happened to the customer is always right? Bad business practice if you ask me. Sorry Green Yogi....you will not get my business. Beware of this fellow yogis. read more

I bought the Groupon for 3 classes for me and my spouse, and went earlier on this year, apparently when there was a 30 day challenge going on. While the location was good, and the teachers were excellent, they had us packed in tight for all 3 classes. There didn't seem to be any ventilation and the both of us felt like we'd pass out from the lack of air to breathe during the last 15 minutes of class. Suffice it to say, my spouse hasn't been to another yoga class since. Yoga is not supposed to be a workout, specifically it's really not about how much you sweat. That however is not how it is being applied at the Yogi. The icing on the cake was the person who kept breaking wind in front of us. Better ventilation would help this place immensely. read more

I've been practicing yoga on and off for over 7 years, The Green Yogi has got it down right. From the space, to the incredible instructors, I've made this place my yogi sanctuary for 5 years. The studio embodies an eco-chic feel and is in the heart of North Manhattan Beach. Small small, beach feel. Staff is super friendly and they are always welcoming of newcomers. Mat rentals are available. Pros: -The space itself is beautiful, open studio with lots of natural light. -They have some of LA's most amazing instructors. -All classes are al levels. Cons: -Wish they had a 7am class everyday Monday-Friday for working 9 to 5 people. -Parking Sucks!!! Never any street parking.. residential parking is sometimes available. 2 metered lots on Highland Ave./Rosecrans. -The studio gets a little stuffy and has poor circulation. I'm always praying the instructors open the door after practice to allow airflow. My favorite instructors: -Tamal Dodge- Of of LA's most influential teachers. His classes are the most sought after. You'll sweat and challenge yourself like never before. Get there early, his classes are packed!! -Heather: she's incredible and always has great modifications. Gentle yet stimulates the mind and body to achieve greatness. -Julie: She's a legend, teacher trainer and an overall badass mama ;-) read more

I live a million miles from The Green Yogi but I am willing to brave LA freeways to practice here. Groupon had a deal for 3 classes for 5 bucks & I couldn't pass it up. This is one of the best Groupons I've ever bought. Time to buy a package & a full tank of gas... read more
