BKS Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles

Not yet rated

The non-profit Iyengar institute for Los Angeles, on Washington Boulevard, with a daily schedule split between studio, online and hybrid classes. Every class is taught by a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, so the instruction is hands-on and the props do a lot of the work. Alongside the timetable it runs workshops, teacher training and the local Iyengar association. Enter through the parking lot at the back.

Light On Lotus Yoga

Not yet rated

Founded by Kate Duyn in 2016 and billed as soulful and sweaty: the signature Lotus Flow is an open-level vinyasa that still means to make you work. Practice happens inside, out in the garden when the weather allows, or live-streamed from home, and the schedule also carries prenatal classes, kirtans, sound baths and teacher trainings. A Wellness Wing books massage, acupuncture and reiki by appointment.
