Samata International Yoga & Health Center

The only negative is that sometimes moving at the beat of the music, or breath, as they like to say, can be too fast for me (and I have been practicing for many years). Of course this is yoga and one can slow down and flow at their own pace, but if you want to stay with the group, this can be challenging. Not all yoga instructors are huge proponents of this pace of flow, so make sure this is the right yoga studio for you!

Larry Payne, the founder of Samata International Yoga & Health Center, is the most generous and compassionate yoga teacher I have ever worked with. He meets all students where they are at and always provides the perfect practice for us. I loved his "Yoga for Dummies" book and sought him out when I came to Los Angeles. There's really no other teacher in Los Angeles that I can recommend more highly than Larry Payne. He's a saint :-)
