Shannon provides an authentic yoga experience that leaves you feeling life force energy pulsing through your body. I go to Shannon's classes because they help me to get out of my head and unstuck in really tight places in my body due to trauma. Each class is unique, beautifully curated and I look forward to the deep inward focus that has helped greatly on my healing journey. If you get a chance to take any class, training or workshop with Shannon say a BIG YES! It's life changing!

The best yoga studio hands down. All of the teachers are amazing, and the space is beautiful. Also, the yoga membership is very reasonably priced.

Beautiful Studio, very clean, fun shopping and the showers are a great convenience for me to get my day going. Jonathan is a really good instructor, my form improves everytime I take his class and this helps me get stronger. Thank you for caring so much :)

Jessica is outstanding in every way. I appreciated how knowledgeable she was with understanding the body and muscles from our eyes to our feet and everywhere in between! She’s a 10+ and I will be looking for her classes when I return from vacation! Love Ekam and Jessica!!

This was my friend’s first time and my second time doing Pilates and we loved it! We were so nervous leading up to the class and it all melted away once Debi got started. The music was great and we felt very welcome. After a bad experience at a different studio I thought I would never try this again, but Debi was fantastic! Her positive and gentle energy kept us motivated to power through. We were already planning our next class with Debi on our walk home. Maddie at the front desk was also a huge reason on why we booked. As beginners we didn’t know where to start, but she was so insightful and kind taking the time to explain everything so we felt comfortable and confident. Thank you so much to Debi and Maddie, we will see y’all again soon! Ps. If you don’t have Pilates socks, they have really cute ones for sale at the studio :)

The meditation and sound bath experience with Billy was unique, calming and very therapeutic. Highly recommended

I took a heated flow class with Andrea this week and I was very let down. First off, the room was not hot whatsoever and second they over pack the class with too many mats not allowing for much movement, it's chaos. More importantly- a walk-in showed up and Andrea allowed them to join her class which I can understand she wants everyone to participate. However, it was very inconsiderate for the rest of the people in the class as it was already tight to begin with. Our entire row had to scrunch together even closer to allow another mat in the row. Everyone was pretty annoyed about that, including myself. Instead of focusing on the movements we all kept trying not to bump into each other. It was not a good experience and more annoying if anything. The studio needs to allow more space for students and not cram everyone together to make more money.

So thankful to ClassPass for introducing me to this gem. Ekam is a pretty decently sized yoga studio sitting on PCH. The only negative about this studio is it's popularity. Each class is full with students ranging from beginners to seasoned yogis. While you might not be able to spread out, the studio does a great job of managing the space. Each spot has a dedicated sticker for your mat, making sure you have enough space to complete each pose without touching your neighbor. I also love their wide variety of classes and teachers. So far I've taken the Vinyasa + Stretch with Huma, Candlelight Restorative with Shannon, and Vinyasa with David. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Huma's Vinyasa + Stretch class was more on the intermediate side and have been craving it ever since. I woke up the next day with the best type of soreness. Beyond this, they offer private classes and workshops to focus on specific areas of your practice, as well as a pilates in a seperate part of the studio. Ekam's lobby is very Newport Beach-esque. I practically drool while browsing their dream fitness sets and kombucha on tap.
