Ashtanga Yoga Long Beach

Not yet rated

A traditional Mysore-style programme in the Krishnamacharya lineage, taught by Aimee Echo. You arrive any time in the morning window and work your own practice with the teacher moving between students. Guided Active Series runs Monday and Wednesday, guided Primary on Sundays with a Yoga Study session after it, and the shala rests on the new and full moons. Its website now carries the name Community Yoga Club, which it calls the home of Ashtanga Yoga Long Beach.

Ra Yoga Long Beach

Not yet rated

The only Los Angeles County room of a mostly Orange County chain, in the Long Beach Exchange (LBX) centre by the airport rather than near the water. Heated and unheated classes across a full daily schedule, with teacher training, workshops and retreats run under the studio's own Ra University banner.

West Coast Sweat Long Beach

The original West Coast Sweat room, open since 2002 and out on Pacific Coast Highway near the Seal Beach line; Hermosa is the newer studio. The classic Bikram sequence is at the centre, with Inferno hot Pilates, which fills about half the schedule, and stretch and restore classes around it. Memberships cover both rooms.

Now membership-supported, with monthly and annual memberships and single drop-ins, and still explicit about access: the studio calls itself Long Beach's most accessible. Classes on Redondo Avenue are joined by Yoga on the Bluff, a long-running donation-based outdoor class above the shoreline every day at 11am, plus a wellness centre, teacher training and online programmes.

YogaSix Long Beach

Not yet rated

On Pacific Coast Highway about a quarter mile from West Coast Sweat, which makes this corner of Long Beach an easy place to try two very different rooms in a week. The YogaSix menu is the chain's usual six, graded by intensity and labelled plainly, which is the appeal if you are new enough that a studio's private vocabulary is a barrier.
