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 am so pleased with the quality of the therapists at Evolution in Playa Vista. Their knowledge of how to help clients get the best results is wonderful. However management/owners do not keep the facility clean. To expect the professional staff to do the cleaning is really out of line and shows a certain lack of respect for their employees. That's what cleaning companies are for Would management/owners be willing to clean themselves?“

“I was a charter member of Yogaworks from 1987 till they closed their doors in 2023, when I joined Shefa. If Yogaworks reopened today I wouldn't think of leaving Shefa. The facilities and the family-style run operation makes the studio like a second home to me. I have three adult children who followed me to this excellent studio. L A's best yoga studio by far.“

“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.“

“Margaret is wonderful and very helpful at making sure I'm getting the most out of my membership. I've taken a lot of instructors and enjoy all of my classes greatly :)“

“I play at LA Fitness Basketball gyms, all across California/Arizona and I’ve been a charter member for over 30 years. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean Elizabeth and John keep the floors and walls. I was shooting around and saw them working around me and had to let them know what a great job they were doing. Super job!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“I have nothing but good things to say about this studio. The instructors are really welcoming and kind and the classes are relaxing yet challenging in the best way. I’ve not always been great about having an exercise routine but this studio has been great for my mental and physical health.“

“I appreciate that you contacted me, that speaks highly of this place, and I understand the circumstances, so thanks for the information.“

“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.“

“Clean facility with easy parking around the mall. Loved my first sculpt class - good mixture of traditional yoga movements + weights. One hour of good cardio/strengthening workout. Be prepared to get super sweaty!“

“I've coming to Hotworxx for the past few months and I love these workouts. You feel so refreshed after, the staff is warm and welcoming and the owner is so encouraging“

“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.“

“I was hesitant to take work out a class after experiencing a bad ankle injury. However this class absolutely exceeded my expectations. The pool is heated and the warm water made the experience easy for me who doesn't love to work out. Highly recommend anyone to try a class with Criselda. She was welcoming, kind and able to make adjustments for my circumstance while giving us a fun high intensity low impact workout. Overall great class great experience, far better than any spin class Ive ever taken. I had a lot of fun and will definitely be coming back again.“

“I cannot recommend Hillary and Yaya enough! Their classes are fun, inclusive and are always a fantastic workout. Above all, they’re lovely women and truly care about you and your fitness journey.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Do not take Rachel's class. If you are extremely sore and looking for a chill Vinyasa, all levels flow lol. This is my six class total at red diamond so I've been putting my body through the ringer a bit. I almost didn't go today because I was so sore but I thought that some movement would benefit me and loosen up the lactic acid in my muscles Rachel's class Provided to be tough! Her flow was a little more complex than a novice would know, but it was a nice challenge to push myself, and when I couldn't Rachel offered nice modifications. This class is a nice midday workout to get your body moving“

“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!“

“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.“
