8 Ashtanga studios in Los Angeles
Ashtanga A Shala LA
A traditional Mysore-style Ashtanga room run by Nina Collins, entered from the back of a laundromat parking lot through a mint green metal door. The Mysore room is open weekday mornings and on Sunday, and closed on Saturdays and on new and full moon days; its tuition page mentions evening classes that the online schedule does not list. New students commit to a full month with no drop-ins, and tuition is a trust-based, tiered exchange.
Ashtanga Yoga Glassell
A small Mysore-style Ashtanga school founded in January 2023 and taught by Rocket Caleshu, authorized at Level 2 by Sri R. Sharath Jois. It practices in a space hosted by Studio A Dance on Hyperion Avenue. Mysore practice runs Monday to Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30am, with a led Primary at 7:30am on Fridays; new students are accepted on the first Monday of each month and are asked to email before coming, and a beginner's group runs about three times a year.
Ashtanga Ashtanga Yoga Long Beach
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.
Ashtanga AYLA Collective
A Mysore-style Ashtanga program that practices in Process Yoga's room on Alpine Street, Sunday to Friday from 6 to 9 a.m., resting on Saturdays and on new and full moon days. Tuition is a fair exchange, with drop-in at $20, and new students email first and begin with a five-day beginner's course.
Ashtanga Lila Yoga Studio
A little further along Foothill from Yoga Rebel, and pitched at the traditional end: a genuine Ashtanga class sits on the same timetable as vinyasa, gentle flow, Yin, Yoga Nidra and a Restore and Sound class, with targeted hips-and-hamstrings and shoulders mobility sessions for people working around a specific restriction. Lila Strength and Hatha Power cover the harder end.
Flow Prema Yoga
Prema means love, and the Granada Hills studio leans on that: small classes, hands-on teachers, and options offered pose by pose rather than a single shape everyone is expected to hit. The calendar runs well past the mat (kirtan evenings, an Ashtanga primary series intensive, a yoga-Reiki-and-chakras workshop, sound healing), and there are teacher trainings and a livestream-only membership. Thirty days unlimited for $69 if you have never been.
Flow Red Diamond Yoga Palms
A Palms studio at the corner of Palms Blvd and Overland Ave, running vinyasa, yin, Iyengar, sculpt and Ashtanga classes alongside meditation sessions and its own teacher training program.
Ashtanga Yoga Shala West
A traditional Ashtanga shala on National Boulevard, and one of the few places in LA running a proper Mysore-style morning programme: you arrive any time in the window and work through your own practice with the teacher moving between students, rather than following a led class. Led practice is Friday. The shala rests on the new and full moon, as the lineage does. Founder Pranidhi Varshney studied with Manju Jois, Nancy Gilgoff and Sharath Jois.
