Yoga in Manhattan Beach

“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.“

“The workers and coaches at Sol Seek are kind and welcoming. There are a variety of classes to take and the studio is clean.“

“Karina was so welcoming and informative! Laurel knows exactly what she is doing! I love all her transitions and her beautiful energy. (Registered Yoga Teacher approved! ) #globalexperience“

“I took D’Andre’s heated C2 flow at CorePower Manhattan Beach, and it was one of those classes that stays with you…not just physically, but internally.

This is an intermediate class in both heat and movement. The music set the tone right away, starting with “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield and building from there (BIG smile). From the beginning, D’Andre framed the practice around calm as the foundation — not calm as stillness, but calm carried through dynamic movement.

What stands out the most is the pacing. The sequence kept changing just enough that you couldn’t go on autopilot. I noticed my own tendency to want to memorize and “take over,” and that simply just wasn’t possible here. It became a presence game: Stay with the breath, stay with what’s actually happening.
Throughout the class, D’Andre kept pointing us toward the balance between effort and ease. In the longer holds and closing poses, he emphasized steady breath as we moved deeper — finding the edge and softening into it at the same time. His guidance was definitely speaking to something deeper than just physical form, and it was a reminder that the breath naturally points us toward our higher qualities, on and off the mat.

Simply put: This is an equanimity practice — and the breath is the bridge to that balance.

Practical notes: Plenty of mall parking, free blocks and straps, lockers with built-in locks, water station; plus showers and amenities like deodorant, mouthwash, Q-tips, and hair dryers.

Fun note: It happened to be my 555th class at CorePower (such a fun milestone)!“

“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.“
