If you’re looking for a new place to bend, stretch and flow, the lineup at these five LA yoga studios will leave you blissed out long after savasana.
Kinship
Located in Highland Park, Kinship’s pricing structure is budget-friendly for those interested in maintaining a regular practice but may be experiencing financial hardship. The studio has sliding scale pricing for those who qualify in addition to donation-based classes. Bilingual classes are also scheduled weekly—allowing native Spanish speakers an opportunity to hear cueing in their first language. For more information, visit www.kinshipyoga.com.
One Down Dog
With three locations in the LA area—Eagle Rock, East Hollywood and Echo Park—One Down Dog is an LA yoga studio the whole family might enjoy. Kids, Pre- and Post-Natal and Baby & Me yoga classes are all offered year-round. And if an asana-filled getaway sounds like a fab idea, check out its yoga adventures. The 2024 group excursion is taking place in Xinalani, Mexico. For more information, visit onedowndog.com.
Open
Catch the sunrise or sunset in Venice while heading to class at this LA yoga studio. Instructors at Open prioritize providing an integrative experience involving breathwork, meditation and movement. Plus, this “mindfulness studio” also has an app its members can access for a monthly fee which includes breathing exercises, yoga sequences and group challenges.

Sweat Yoga
Crave familiarity in class sequencing as much as the flexibility to practice in multiple areas around the city? Then keep an eye out for the Sweat Yogas in Playa Vista, Weho, Little Tokyo and Santa Monica. The community may be spread out, but it stays connected through special yin-sound bath sessions, pop-up “flash mobs,” nutrition workshops and teacher-training opportunities.

Y7 Studio
High energy is the vibe at Y7 Studio. Both Silver Lake and West Hollywood studios appeal to yogis who are looking to increase their stamina, master challenging poses and workout to beats by their fave contemporary artists. All classes are heated, but Silver Lake is currently the brand’s only locale that has a cold plunge onsite for member use. For more information, visit www.y7-studio.com.
