Child's Pose Studio

Not yet rated

A neighborhood studio on La Cienega that set out to strip the cost and intimidation out of yoga: the site says you need no special mat, no new outfit and no Sanskrit. Flow, yin-yang, sculpt, restore, prenatal and mat Pilates classes run every day of the week, though Friday has a single midday class, and props are free. There is no parking lot, only street parking, and the kids classes the studio was founded on are currently paused.

A Black-owned studio on South La Brea that puts access first: classes are offered by donation alongside memberships and class packs, and new students can start with an intro month of unlimited classes. The stated mission is a room where yoga is for every body, and the space is set up for it, cushions in a circle as often as mats in rows. Studio rental is available.
