Easy access via surface streets, too. (We moved from Marina del Rey in September 2019.)

Testimonials

I was looking for yoga presented in the classical Indian style that teaches how the body and mind should work together. I found this yoga center years ago and have been coming here as often as I can ever since. They’ve moved to a larger house with lots of green space, beautiful trees, lush green grass and flowers, all making this a warm, welcoming, relaxed and peaceful oasis in the middle of the city to practice yoga and learn the classical yoga teachings. I especially enjoy the relaxed, non-competitive teaching method they use. Sometimes I come here just to sit quietly and read.

This isn’t a random yoga studio. Instead, it’s a historical and traditional yoga training center and community. I have been practicing yoga for over ten years. However, this is the first place for me to truly learn how to do each pose correctly. The staff are very welcoming, caring, experienced, and really commits to teaching pure and classical yoga.

I am learning to relax and breathe. I am learning the postures correctly at my own pace, with no pressure to do more than my body can do. Classes are not packed. I feel welcome.

Sivananda Yoga in combination with the AA program was the only way I could stay clean and sober. For the first time in my life I felt a true “light” or God Consciousness. I lost weight without any struggling. I gradually started eating better and more in line with the way Sivananda Yoga cookbook suggest. I started hiking and praying and thinking of my life as a spiritual journey. What I most want to emphasize and what is most amazing to me is that the physical, mental and emotional changes occured effortlessly. Before there was always a struggle to keep the weight off, to stop substance abuse, and to maintain a spiritual practice. The amazing staff and community encouraged me to relax, to go easy, to be gentle with myself and my thoughts. I love Sivananda Yoga LA!
Thank you. God Bless.

Stunning! That is the word that comes to my mind repeatedly and captures your magnificent Ashram. I loved being there, and I now know I have a beautiful place for a quiet respite and deep spiritual connection.

My mom practiced Sivananda Yoga and taught me when I was 7. Forty years later, it is still my favorite. There is nothing like Sivananda Yoga on the planet!
