Yogaraj

Really wonderful authentic yoga spot. I didn’t know what to expect, but the community is so pure and not trendy in the best way possible. My favorite part of Yogaraj is that they made amazing yoga affordable. I’ve gone to many sound baths here and it’s been such a wonderful healing experience. Feel lucky to have found this place. The parking garage to the left is free parking at night :) Sat Nam!

I have been to Yoga Raj a few times. The atmosphere is really chill. I really enjoy taking Emily W’s classes. She offers some great tips on how to comfortably adjust in some poses or take it to the next level. Parking is easy in the next door garage.

Great little studio on barrington. $ 10 yoga donation and the teachers are all really good. I usually go Saturday’s at 3pm for Nina boosts’ class but all their teachers are good.

It’s impossible to put into words how amazing Yogaraj makes you feel. The classes are well rounded and geared toward whatever level you’re feeling. No one pushes you to do more or less than what your body tells you to do. It’s a safe and fun environment to practice in while surrounded by a supportive, non-​judgmental community. It’s easy to understand why people return time and time again. I leave every class feeling less stressed, more focused, stronger, and thankful that I took 90 minutes out of my day to re-​find my breath.

I did Brent’s Sunday morning class which was really hard but very inspiring. It’s an easy place to go. No fuss… just yoga.

Awesome teachers, and you cannot be the price.
they really maintain a very simple aesthetic, which I appreciate very much.
I went to two classes so far, and both teachers were great at leading «all levels» class.
you CANNOT beat the price, I hope that they can maintain their business to stay open!!!
amazing!!!

I love the space, community and culture of this studio. I took a wonderful class with Andrea, she’s an amazing instructor! Her pace is perfect. She’ll give you the opportunity to get set in your pose to really feel the benefits of the yoga movement and will offer suggestions to strengthen your flow. You will sweat, get a great workout, plus feel cleansed and grounded. I would highly recommend taking her class! :)

I really love this place. I just started a more consistent yoga practice about 8 months ago, and the only reason I have been able to keep it up is because I love this studio. I have tried other places (Yogaworks, etc.) and I didn’t like the membership commitments and the super crowded classes that smelled like stinky feet. I think I tried Yogaworks for a month and it never caught on. I felt like I was in some sort of unfriendly snooty claustrophobic sauna of B.O. and I didn’t go back to yoga for about 5 years.
At Yogaraj I feel the instructors are very supportive. Totally different atmosphere. JayCo has really helped me adjust a number of my poses, helped with my alignment, and gives great hands-​on attention which is so super important to me. Liz Arch has amazing energy and is very creative, so I feel like no class is the same. Hiro has some great ideas, and I love trying new things in his classes. Phyllis Marie has a nice (more gentle) class which has been perfect for me on days when I need to slow it down. Brent has a more challenging class on Sundays for people who really want a workout. I also really like Papo; he has a lot of emphasis on breath work. I have never been disappointed with any of the classes, though occasionally I have felt some of the classes were super challenging and I was caught off guard. If you are newer to yoga I would recommend e-​mailing them to ask which classes are most appropriate for you. I don’t feel like the place has a snobby Westside vibe where everyone is trying to lift their leg higher than you and do fancy handstands in their $ 200 designer yoga pants. I feel totally ok in my Target pants.
I have been in some classes (weekday morning classes) with 2 people in them. It is literally a $ 10 private lesson. You can’t beat that. I hesitate to write a Unilocal review because I don’t want this place to get crowded like Yogaworks or other places around the Westside. I will try not to be selfish, however, and spread the love because this is too great a place to keep quiet about. So I highly recommend you try it out, unless you aren’t nice, or you smell really badly like feet.

I currently have a membership at a «corporate» yoga studio but I will be leaving that studio to come out to Yogaraj consistently. Why?
— The schedule. I get off work at 6 pm and like to workout right after. I noticed that many of the nearby studios have evening classes at 6 (not possible for me) or 7:30 (I don’t want to wait that long!). Maybe it’s because I’m a recent college grad with a full-​time job, but I want to maximize the time I spend at home (aka my bed) so the 6:30 class is perfect!
— The instructors. I have taken Liz’s and Jay’s classes, which are both very challenging. The classes are pretty small so I feel like I get more attention here than at the larger studios, which is great because I’m new-​ish to yoga. I also love how they actually try to TEACH you and not make you move through a series of movements.
— And lastly, the price. How can you beat $ 10/​class? Yeah, not having unlimited membership kinda sucks, but at least you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for the enrollment fee! The best part is not feeling obligated to go to class, which happens with memberships.
Of course there’s nothing actually wrong with the said corporate studios. It’s just my preference, and if you like small, community vibes, then I definitely recommend Yogaraj!

What a spot! Super convenient for those of us in West LA and no hassle pricing. $ 10 a class all day, everyday! Jay is an awesome teacher and will expand your practice greatly if you give him $ 10. How cool is that?

Nowadays it’s hard to find a yoga studio that doesn’t sell monthly memberships. Well, Yogaraj may be the last one left.
Most classes are $ 10 drop in. Such a deal.
I came here for the monthly «yoga and wine» event by Andrea. It’s 75 minutes flow class plus 45 min. wine tasting. What a brilliant idea. After you sweat from all that work out, a few sips of wine and bites of fruits, cheeses, and cookies are just perfect. What was mostly enjoyable was the social experience at the event. New and seasoned yogis got to sit around and share their experiences and stories. I also learnt very helpful tips on arm balances at this event from the owner Jay himself.
Awesome studio, excellent class, great people, unbeatable prices. I only wish I lived closer. If you love yoga and live on the Westside, please do take advantage of YogaRaj. You have nothing to lose.

I discovered this place driving by on Barrington. Terrific vibe, and of course, 10 $ is a great price. I’ve been taking Kaitlin’s Friday class for many months now, and I believe she really personifies what yoga is all about. There are teachers who I would imagine offer a more intense workout, but if your goal is to get a good workout (with very good instruction), stretch and leave in a much better place than when you arrived, that is what you’ll get for your 60 minutes.
Bottom line is that I’m very happy to see this studio get the recognition it deserves.

Not a fan of yoga studio subscriptions? perfect, this is the place for you. «Home of ten dollar yoga» where you can just drop in for any class at 10 $ a class, more than you’d pay if you had a membership someplace else, waaaay less than you’d pay if you dropped in at any other yoga studio. This is perfect for people who don’t want to lose touch with their practice, get back into it slowly or want a low commitment deal. You can pay with cash, or payment apps and there’s a fidelity app you can get to get some goodies for every some classes you come to.
ALSO! 1 free parking in adjacent parking structure after 6! before that, just 2 $ with validation. Sounds like a deal no?
AND 2 manduka mats available for free if you don’t have one, just wipe it down when you’re done.
The studio itself is half a floor underground and away from the not too high speed barrington ave, so it’s perfectly quiet.
The instructors are, as far as I can tell, up there (I only know Liz Arch but that’s quite up there to begin with.)

I love this place. $ 10 yoga, all day, every day.
Teachers are knowledgeable and professional.
The studio inside is peaceful and refreshing.
Parking kinda sucks, but I will put up with it for this place.

This place is amazingly peaceful, clean & authentic.
The teachers are knowledgable and teach with integrity and are very kind!
This is my new inspiration temple

Unilocal defines five stars as «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» and that pretty much sums up my experience with Yogaraj.
I’ve taken classes from Jay for years now and still learn something from him every time about what my muscles should be doing and feeling during the different asanas/​poses. Now that he’s the owner he’s also brought in a bunch of other amazing teachers — I have never been disappointed after taking a chance with someone new to me. As a non-​profit worker with student loans the $ 10 is tough sometimes compared to giving a bit less at donation based studios but 1) it makes the studio sustainable, 2) the instructors’ teachings are worth much, much more, and 3) it makes me take the practice more seriously and the investment fosters a helpful internal commitment.
It’s also really great to see the instructors try to live out what they say in the studio; grateful for the kind and friendly culture. There’s a commitment to living life to the full including both hard work and a lot of fun.
I’ve been to a lot of good yoga studios and this one’s my favorite. I encourage you to try it. :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this studio!
Simple, sweet space to practice with some AMAZING teachers! I typically head to Liz Arch’s class on Monday nights, but also love me some Andrea, Noelle and Jay Co!
It doesn’t get any better than $ 10/​class, too, and you can pay with cash, or square cash and they use Belly, so you can get points on every visit that earn you sweet gear or free classes!
Total «community» vibe. Clean, easy, warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

awesome yoga studio!
super convenient location with plenty of parking and free parking on the residential side of the street. Also love the no frills $ 10 cash or Square option. No membership necessary, practice ad hoc and pay as you go. Definitely download the Square app before you go and you will never have to worry about carrying cash.
All the classes and teachers I’ve been to are solid and great. Love the wide range of options, I can go at 6am or 930pm at night. Also if you catch a small class the teachers always give more personal instruction and take time to break down poses.
You must check this place out!

I used to live 5 minutes walk away from this little hidden gem. I’ve only been here once, but from what I could remember it wasn’t so bad after all.
If you need to attend yoga as an on needed basis, then this place is cheap for $ 10. I think it’s expensive comparing to unlimited one price fee per month yoga studios if you decided to do yoga daily and multiple times a day.
As for the convince of paying the instructor, gosh it’s so 21^st century savvy. I downloaded the cash app and emailed the instructor which they provide each class. You could even provide cash to instructor if you like.
The classes are small, giving you that personal instructor ambiance. I experienced the one on one personal instructor yoga session only because I was the only person that attended the 8pm class. It was so good especially it was my first yoga session from taking off for 6 months! The instruction helped me realign my body and become flexible again. It was definitely worth the $ 10!

This is a great yoga studio! The place is clean and spacious with wooden floors. Each class is $ 10 cash, check, or square cash (app) — no contracts, no fees, no expiration. The instructors are awesome and you get a great workout.
The best part is that there’s a lot of parking around the neighborhood that’s free or metered. There’s also a parking garage where parking is free after 6pm and on weekends. This makes this so much less stressful.
Love this place!
