I have done yoga in a bunch of different cities & had trouble finding the right kind of place in los angeles, where the teachers and other students are nice to be around. There is no ego here, it has a non competitive atmosphere that challenges all levels and encourages everyone to find their individual practice. Some of the regular students are in great shape & they are inspiring rather than intimidating. The studio is clean and everyone is friendly. I get a great workout here and it has an l.a. touch--each class ends with a gong during the final resting pose, which I had never enjoyed before, but in this setting find it incredibly relaxing! No overt talk about spirituality or anything, so the workout can be just physical or go anywhere you want to take it internally.
Pros: Amazing teachers and workout
Cons: small parking lot
