This studio is a gem! It's one of the few studios that hasn't been taken over by the corporate world. The classes range from small to large, but the best thing of all is that it's not insanely crowded like some of the other studios in LA. It has the same quality, and even shares some of the teachers that teach at yogaworks, but you don't have to get caught up in the 'trendy' aspect. Everyone is there to practice and the collective energy is amazing. All of the teachers are so unique and have done their teacher trainings all the way from India to Yogaworks and have a very diverse teaching resume. It is soooo far from your typical cookie cutter studio. If you're looking for a really nice medium paced Hatha class that ranges from a mellow vinyasa flow throughout the class or sun salutations and an exploration of standing postures, I highly suggest Marie! Everyone who goes to her class always seem to stumble out in a yogic high - it's so delicious. I love Shosha's class, too. If you love Iyengar yoga, everyone here seems to share the mutual respect for the Iyengar lineage but still appreciates the newer less traditional approaches like Anusura. There isn't a clicky or judgemental vibe - just an open, caring vibe. They also have a full rope wall which rocks. This studio has become my home - I now try to go everyday. After class, you can go have tea at the Good Earth!! You can also find the studio on myspace now with the launch of their new teacher training program.
Pros: Groovy Community and Teachers
Cons: Parking, Old Equipment, Studio Could Use a Few Minor Repairs
