Sattva Yoga LA

This instructor (Richard W.) seemed nice and really into yoga at first but as class went on he got creepier and creepier– constantly touching me and «fixing» my poses. Each time I moved away from him but he continued to touch me and even held my hips in a very uncomfortable way. I didn’t want to disrupt class (even though there was only one other person) so I didn’t tell him to back off but I was very clear with my movements and he didn’t take the hint. ew!

Like the smaller groups here and more intimate setting. Not many classes offered due to the size but they do offer great classes. Took a class on Sunday and came out so rejuvenated. My mind and body felt so relaxed and energized. The pace of the class was perfect. The instructors are so great here. They really give you individualized attention and customize the class to the student. I like how this studio offers a very friendly and social atmosphere compared to some other yoga places. My friend and I liked it so much we ended up purchasing the $ 40 a month pass.

Very unique yoga experience. Not your average yoga… amazing! Small groups always. Very individualized. Highly recommend trying a class. I do feel they should add more classes though.

This is a wonderful little yoga studio. I have been going to Yogaworks for decades and finally took at class at Sattva this morning. I took the Vinyasa Slow class with Adina Schwartz. The class was perfect for a Sunday morning. It was a great workout but the instructor finished the class with some Yin Yoga and honestly I could have stayed there all day in the last few poses. They were so relaxing it was almost an out of body experience.
The classes are small and the instructor is also the person who checks you into the class which makes it very personal. I received lots of individual attention during the class.
I took advantage of the $ 40 month long pass for new students. I am looking forward to trying other classes there.
I don’t know why it took me so long to try the studio. Honestly, for some reason the website made me think it was for advanced students only. May have been the use of the word «master» and «warrior» which I found intimidating since I still can’t do a headstand.
I would recommend this studio to yoga students of all levels. It’s a lovely little treasure on the west side.

Sattva Yoga is a true gem. I’d never done much yoga or meditation before but a few months ago I was dealing with a lot of stress and realized I needed an outlet. I did a quick Unilocal search for yoga & meditation and discovered Sattva was nearby. I went to Brittny’s Yoga Breakdown class and felt immediately welcomed and at ease. She is an extraordinary teacher and tailors her class to her students. She taught me the basics of meditation and some yoga fundamentals. I started attending the free meditation on Monday evenings and have really enjoyed each yoga class I’ve taken with Brittny and Adam — they are both wonderful people and gifted instructors. I feel lucky to have them and their studio in my life.

I have gone to Monday night meditation at Sattva Yoga for quite some time. Brittny and Adam are amazing. Living in LA can be so hectic sometimes and we often get so caught up in the superficial things. Their Monday night meditation is a way to slow down and bring your focus back to your heart center. Sattva Yoga is a great little find in this big hustling town.

I took the 7 am Wed. morning class with Sonia and she was a great instructor. Her class is paced so well and she is happy to personalize poses based in the needs of her students. I left feeling really energized and relaxed all at the same time! Awesome experience.

The yin class here Sunday evenings is wonderful and relaxing, the instructor is excellent. The other patrons were very odd — they all wanted a 45 minutes class instead of the posted 1.5 hours, left early, and spent their class time gossiping and not really attempting the (very pleasant) yin poses. However, the class was great, the instructor was great, the space is lovely.

Love this studio! Small in size, quaint, very well appointed. GREAT work outs! And I feel calm and refreshed at the end… Love it!

I have a membership to another yoga studio in the area which I am in love with but while they are in the process of changing locations, I decided to check out this studio. I really liked the small intimate feel of this place. There were only 4 of us in the class which was nice. The teacher was super cool and I enjoyed the flow class. The difference with a small studio like this is that people actually say hello and acknowledge each other. Though I go to yoga to «go within,» I still like when people take the time to smile and say hello to each other. I am going to do the new member $ ⁴⁰⁄₁ month package to explore more classes here. I think it is a good balance to the bigger studio I attend and appeals to my forever extroverted side.

Really nice environment. I find that important sometimes when I am looking to wind down and space out, and leave feeling uplifted. Nice sized yoga room with beautiful wood floor. Blankets, blocks, nice traditional. Intelligent down to earth teachers. I haven’t had a chance to take a lot of classes yet, but I will report back. :) I’m 28, been practicing for almost 10 years. I like strong vinyasa classes, as well as meditative classes. :) practice all over WLA and santa monica

I am thrilled there is finally a yoga studio near my home (in Brentwood/​Santa Monica) that is focused on personal growth and spiritual development along with the physical benefits of yoga. Most of the studios on the west side seem to have a frenetic, almost hyper energy about them that makes me feel stressed rather than relaxed. I know some people prefer that sort of energy, but I like a quieter more serene environment. The teachers at Sattva are wonderful and seem to really care about every student. The studio is beautiful and leaves you feeling calm and renewed. I can’t wait for my next visit!

I love the atmosphere here. It’s not a gym and not one of those corporate yoga chains. Awesome teachers who care about what they are doing, their practice, and their students. They have a meditation on Mondays and special talks and events… it’s really a community atmosphere that’s wonderfully refreshing to find in LA!

This is a very diverse practice of yoga in a bright, fresh studio. I really appreciate the direction in breath, eye focus, mudra, mantra and coming from the heart in addition to truly activating movement. The free Meditation Mondays is a gathering of really sweet people, there is a community here unlike any other place I have practiced. Hari Om!

Sattva Yoga LA is amazing. I’ve been practicing for 14 years, and for many years under very advanced, spiritual yogis but they moved back to India in 2008. For the years since, I’ve tried numerous studios and teachers in both San Diego and LA, but have always ended up preferring my own practice at home to a practice that just didn’t engage all of my Being. SYLA is the first studio that has ignited my Soul and centered my mind while challenging my body. The space is beautifully sacred (not like gym yoga!). The teachers are insightful and warm and know what they are doing while humble and centered. The sessions incorporate a combination of yoga practices — vinyasa, hatha, kundalini, ashtanga. I highly recommend SYLA.

As a practicing yoga student for 7 years and someone who had shoulder surgery I have found this studio to be the best yoga studio I have been too. I have difficulty with concentration and I am amazed how their practice keeps my attention. With that I am able to be cautious of my shoulder, be in complete bliss and get a great work out at the same time. Best of all the classes are conducive to letting go of the past and letting new opportunities flow into your body and life.

If you love yoga and are looking for a space to learn, grow and connect — SYLA is the place to go! Their teachers are excellent, the space is beautiful and the energy is awesome. They offer lots of workshops and events and a strong sense of community — a place to call home! Highly recommended.

As a beginning yoga student, Sattva Yoga L.A. has been an fantastic experience for me. It’s great to learn and practice in an environment that encourages growth and transformation. The teachers are great and each offer their own individual experience in class. I signed up for the new student monthly rate of $ 40 and have already renewed for a year subscription. I look forward to my journey with Sattva Yoga L.A. and encourage you to join.
The sign up and registration process is painless and their website is simple and easy for me to access to register for class.
Keep up the great work!

Disclaimer: I am a yoga teacher who teaches around Los Angeles, does privates, has worked with LA Galaxy etc… So I’ll give my thoughts as a teacher that also teaches at Sattva Yoga LA. First off all, they are inclusive. Right off the bat they are doing workshops, music events, offering different types of yoga and outdoor pop up practice. So you can feel the inclusive and community nature of bringing in other people and styles. There is no fear. Its refreshing and I am happy to be teaching somewhere that gives freedom to be oneself. And then secondly, the space is bright and energetic. And thirdly, its always sweet to have a studio that is founded on teachings of a Yogic master in India. It’s coming from tradition and not from a desire to capitalize on the business of yoga. Namaste
