One of the oldest and most established yoga studios in L.A., Yoga Works' extensive class listings and energetic staff are renowned throughout the L.A. yoga community. An ashtanga class with Julie Kleinman stresses the holistic approach, discussing anatomy, injury prevention, breathing, and yoga lexicon with ease. The well-executed yoga sessions, including all forms of hatha, blur the fact that there are no shower facilities. The retail space carries casual clothing and cute workout gear for men and women, as well as yoga mats, jewelry, books, cards, pashminas, and handbags, making it easy to get a bit distracted while waiting for the next class. Parking is available on the sunny deck structure just in front of the studio.
