Summary: Over a year at Sweat Yoga - and somehow, still beyond words. Joyful. Freeing. Alive…read more The Vibe: This place held me. In the middle of a full life transition - from Chicago to California - Sweat became my constant. A space to sweat, dance, move, breathe...to shed what no longer serves and quietly find a new direction. It's not one-note. Each teacher carries their own frequency, their own rhythm. The invitation is simple: Explore - try them all. Notice what opens you, what meets you, what moves you. And somewhere in that...you start meeting yourself. The Space: The yoga room is intentionally dark, with no mirrors. No performance. No distraction. It pulls you out of your head and drops you straight into your body...where the real practice begins. The Class: The Flow class format is genius. * The 1st flow begins simply: Light stretching, a warm-up flow. Repeated to connect breath, timing, & awareness. Then it deepens. * The 2nd flow drops you lower, slower, closer to the ground. The room softens, and something internal starts to open. * The 3rd flow expands. Fully guided on both sides, then picked up in pace...and you're off on your own. Music up. Lights down. Unleashed. Follow the sequence...or don't. Let breath lead. Let instinct take over. From there: Core work, long holds, deep stretches...and a full surrender into savasana with a cold eucalyptus towel waiting at the top of your mat. The Teachers: Not just teaching poses...they beautifully hold space for who you're becoming. Each teacher brings something distinct, while honoring the same soulful container. * Some classes are electric: Packed rooms, dance music, energy that lifts you. * Some are playful and light: Connection, laughter, ease. * Others are grounding: Slowing time, pulling you fully into presence. * And some feel sacred: Ritualistic, spacious, deeply calming. There are teachers who remember your name. And others who hold space so honestly that everything you're carrying feels welcome. The Bottom Line: There hasn't been a single class I've taken here where I didn't leave feeling better than when I arrived. #Truth. Sweat is a place for healing, for movement, for release, for connection, for play...a place where you can lose yourself and find yourself again. Practical Notes: Free street parking and a paid lot on site. Men's and women's locker rooms with showers. Bathroom amenities, lockers with locks, mat and towel rentals available. * Bring a sweat towel (You will sweat in the infrared sauna yoga room!) Plus: Breathwork (1st Friday of every month), chisel, half flow/half yin, pilates, and yin classes - ALL exceptional!

I love Sweat yoga playa vista! I've been to multiple hot yoga places but this is my #1 so far…read more Their playlists are gold! My favorite instructor is Jane. She's so calm and relaxing, and her class always leaves me feeling refreshed and zen for the rest of the week. The studio is set up with no mirrors and a dark room, so you can really focus on yourself. It was a bit hard to adjust at first, but now I find it makes me feel more grounded and calm. Bonus: if you're lucky, you might meet the adorable yoga dog, Bella!

It was quite a workout and a little more than I could handle, but I'm glad I tried it. My instructor was really good and nice, but wasn't as hands on as I would've liked and she spent most of the time in one corner of the room instead of in the front showing us how to do the poses. I would've preferred if she did the flow with us or at least walked around to correct. Parking was a big tough - there's a parking lot that's free but it's shared with the plaza and there just doesn't seem to be enough spaces. They also don't seem to have enough restrooms - there was a long line for the restroom when I went. There was a student observing the class, which I didn't particularly love. It takes away from the experience when it feels like someone is watching/potentially judging me.

Took an evening class at Veda Yoga with Jaya Lakshmi, and it was one of the most genuinely…read morewelcoming yoga experiences I've had. From the moment you arrive, Jaya greets everyone warmly and invites you into what she calls the "Veda family," immediately creating a sense of inclusion and belonging. That feeling continues throughout the class -- people were friendly, open, and kind, introducing themselves before class and checking in afterward to see how it was. It felt less like dropping into a random class and more like being welcomed into an existing, caring community. The studio is well organized, with clear guidance on where to go, open shelving inside the room for belongings, and padded flooring that adds noticeable comfort and support during practice. 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!

I took the Lotus Flow class with Kate on a Monday evening and had a great workout. I never thought…read moreI'd be sweating in a non-hot yoga class, but Kate took us through an intense flow that challenged us throughout! She'd show us the poses and then she'd walk around to adjust our forms as needed. I like that she gave us different options and modifications depending on everyone's comfort and skill level. 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.

BEST YOGA STUDIO IN LA!!!…read more From the second you arrive... Greeted by the sweet staff... Cute retail up front... a generous changing area with lockers and private changing rooms.. Then you enter the large studio with 2 huge skylights and lovely plants and funky graffiti wall. On warm days the studio opens up to an indoor/outdoor setup!!! I love nothing more than warm, breezy outdoor yoga!! The instructors are so wonderful and from so many different backgrounds and modalities. Kate, the owner, teaches multiple classes during the week, but don't miss her Sunday morning "Love Saves the Day" class with live music!!! Its always packed and filled with best energy. A tougher class for sure, but always a unique and engaging sequence. I could go on, but please do yourself a favor and come to class. Five stars!

Unfortunately, I really wanted to love this studio, but too many issues added up and left a…read moredisappointing overall impression. I'm a member at another YogaSix location that I truly enjoy, and I signed up temporarily at this location while I was in the area for work so I could stay consistent with my practice. My first class was Restore. The audio kept glitching, the music cut in and out and the instructor repeatedly had to adjust her phone that was plugged into the wall. The heat also didn't seem to be working properly. The system sounded like it was trying to turn on, made concerning noises, then shut off after about 30-45 seconds. It was very distracting and made it difficult to relax or fully settle into the class. Still, I didn't want to judge based on one visit, so I booked another class. The second class was Slow Flow. The instructor was very sweet, but the class felt a bit unstructured and out of sync, with students encouraged to move freely rather than follow a cohesive flow. There were again audio issues with the headset and music cutting in and out, and the heat still wasn't working; the heater had the same start-stop problem as before. I finished the class but left feeling underwhelmed. I also had another class scheduled that same week which I canceled in the app within the allowed cancellation window due to unexpected work obligations. However, the studio later stated that it showed as a late cancel/no-show on their end and I was charged a fee. I'm not sure whether there was an app or system glitch, but it was frustrating since I followed the cancellation process correctly. I had one more class booked and hoped the earlier experiences were just bad luck. Unfortunately, at 3 a.m. the morning of that class, a fire broke out in my apartment building and I had to cancel last minute. I texted the studio to explain the emergency. While they were polite and sounded understanding, I was still charged the no-show fee. Between the repeated equipment issues, inconsistent class experience, cancellation discrepancies, and emergency no-show charge, along with the location being somewhat difficult to access; this studio did not meet expectations. With so many great yoga studios in LA, I wouldn't personally recommend this location.

Allie, Abigail, and Kelsey have been my go to peeps and their classes are such a joy to take. If you're looking for a new spot to be introduced to hot yoga or to continue your practice, I can't emphasize enough how yoga 6 is the place you want to be... Located in ivy station it's also a very convenient place to park and also on weekends they usually have activations that you can take a part of as well. Check them out!

The cold towels had eucalyptus scent and the showers were clean. I sign up again but this time under new management, Hot 8 Yoga because I liked the location and love that feeling of accomplishment afterwards. The staff is welcoming and my favorite instructor is Lorenzo. Each instructor has their own style so try them out and see who you like. My only issue is the restroom. Toilet doesn't flush well so I have to stand there to wait for the tank to complete its cycle before I could flush again. The shower......where do I start? The curtain is starting to have build up and the interior feels grimy. I wish the music choice was better. Rap music with yoga doesn't make sense to me. I understand they may have thought the beat would keep us motivated but there are other types of music with good rhythm to move along with. Lastly, it just too loud. I can't hear the instructor at all. Due to the music choice and decibel, I'm contemplating on another studio.
