Yoga near Hermosa Beach

“An experience that’s flawless. Makes you feel lighter and instructors bring incredible passion to their classes like an art.“

“I started practicing yoga over twenty years ago. I started with Hatha/Vinyasa classes which were both great ways to learn the basic asanas. When I moved to the West Coast ten years ago, I was in search of a new yoga studio. I had never taken Iyengar classes before, but I was open to trying it. To say this practice has changed my life is an understatement.Through joining LYFE, I was introduced to the most extraordinary yoga teacher, Michael Ruccolo. His approach to the practice is transformative. His knowledge of the body as well as his focused attention to each student is unprecedented. This studio also provides a sense of community, allowing students to connect in and outside of the yoga room. I am grateful to have found such a supportive space along with Michael, a one-of-a-kind teacher.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this studio! The entire staff is amazing—super knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming. Classes are filled with people from all stages of life. I also love how there isn’t a mirror in the studio, I’m much more connected to how my body feels throughout class as opposed to getting distracted trying to perfect my alignment. 12/10!“

“Have been going to this yoga studio for the past four years, and it is wonderful. The owners and teachers are all devoted to creating a perfect yoga atmosphere for the students. And the variety of classes from yin to chair to slow flow to vinyasa make it a studio that works for all bodies’s needs.“

“I have worked with Natalia for five years now through two pregnancies. I had the easiest births and recoveries both times even though I had diastasis issues, and I really credit her for keeping my core and pelvic floor so strong and mobile. My favorite thing about her is she really knows how to push you enough where you feel like you see and feel improvement, but not so much that you're ever risking your form or physique. What's crazy is that I have gotten so many compliments on my physique that now my best friend, her husband, our neighbors, family friends, and my husband see her for private training sessions, and they're all obsessed with her so clearly she's doing something right!“

“Lovely studio! the space is beautiful and clean.
The teachers I’ve taken lessons from are all great as well. They focus on making sure each student is able to practice to their own ability.“

“Karate at Kaizen Dojo is lifestyle driven; it isn't just about learning karate moves. Sensei Ford prioritizes mindfulness, building students up from within, mind and body health, self-confidence, happiness, awareness, and resilience.

Both of my children have taken karate lessons at different places. Kaizen stands out, to me, as more traditional. The art of karate is present here; the reveredness of the kata. It reminds me of Daniel San and Mr. Miyagi practicing choreographed karate movements: on the stump on the beach, or in Okinawa, with the scored music behind it. I love watching the kids practice their katas.

Sensei Ford is kind and brings play to each class to keep the kids engaged. They work hard, and, yet, it doesn't occur as such. It's impressive how much my daughter knows, and how much she loves to practice and demonstrate her moves at home.

I'm truly grateful to have Kaizen Dojo and Sensei Ford in our lives. Both have made a lasting and positive impact on myself and my family.“

“Fav studio in LA! Light, airy, great instructors, and a back patio! Feels like a community and I dig it.“

“Pleasantly surprised how awesome this place was - the teacher, Dan, and the other yoga practitioners were super right on! I came in from out of town and I felt very comfortable here getting a very detail oriented sequence. Awesome brief sound bath following the asanas - kind of like a special at the end of class that day. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town. Great vibes.“

“Great gym for private training ...very clean and never crowded. Darien is the man! Highly recommend him!“

“Dionne and Jaz held a beautiful class with , Astrology, Journaling, yoga and ended with a beautiful soundbath. A brilliant way to start the new moon weekend.“

“A lovely little gem of a studio. The only disappointments are the lack of parking and no shower. I was fortunate to take class on a weekday at 9 AM so there was plenty of street meter parking. Even so, one has to be careful of the no parking signs for street cleaning and all the various rules. When I mentioned the of the parking to the front desk, she said yes the weekdays were easier. So I would definitely give yourself a healthy amount of time to find a parking spot, at least 15 minutes. I just happen to get lucky. Space is very tranquil. It's lovely and full of light and has really beautiful hardwood floors. There is one tiny bathroom with a sink with only cold water. No place to shower nor change. Bring your own mat or you can pay to rent one. All the props are generously loaned for free, including bolsters, blankets blocks and straps. The class was not too challenging. I didn't break a sweat. But perhaps there are other classes that are more intense. But it was a restful and centering class. TL/dr: perfect spot for locals to enjoy yoga.“

“Incredible studio. I was never a big yoga person but this studio was like finding a home with amazing instructors and deep care for their community. Love going here as much as possible“

“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!“

“Kari is an amazing teacher. What I like best - she asks about injuries or areas on your body that might be hurting. She doesn't push you to do things that your body is not ready for. The space is amazing and has that serene peaceful feel as soon as you walk through the door. Kari is down-to-earth and "real people." A great place if you want to recharge or are just beginning your journey.“

“Knowledge beyond comprehension...... Instinctively and educationally, combined perfectly for your proper healing.“

“We just had my daughter's 8th birthday party at Shine. The girls had so much fun and loved it!!!! The hair and makeup is definitely worth paying extra to do. The hair extensions were a huge hit!!The facility is very clean and perfect for a party. There was a kitchen area that made setup easy.“

“I had the pleasure of joining Kristina on one of her sessions, and I was blown away! Not only is she incredible at what she does, but the whole experience was beyond therapeutic. The whole place felt so inviting and welcoming, honestly one of the best yoga classes I have tried!“

“Lovely yoga studio! Check it out and treat yourself or a loved one to a cool yoga class! Highly recommend it!“
