Meditation classes in LA
21 studios offer meditation across Los Angeles — choose by feel, not by spreadsheet.
21 studios found
Kundalini Kundalini Silverlake
An intimate, affordable studio specializing in Kundalini practice, breathwork and chanting.
Power Yoga East
A light-filled second-floor loft focused on breath-led, steady practice rather than high-intensity flow.
Open Venice
The in-person home of the Open app, blending movement, breathwork and meditation with a great sound system.
Meditation Against The Stream Meditation Center
A Buddhist meditation centre on Lincoln Boulevard, founded by Noah Levine and running since 1988 — the Dharma Punx lineage, which is insight practice with the formality stripped out. The anchor is a Monday evening sit and dharma talk, offered in the room and on Zoom, donation-based and open to anyone. Refuge Recovery meetings, retreats and a long back catalogue of recorded talks sit alongside it. A meditation hall, not a yoga studio.
Kundalini Atma Yoga and Healing Arts
A small kundalini room a block from the beach on Bay Street, with a painted blue wave covering one wall. Kundalini yoga in the tradition's mix of movement, breath, meditation and chant, alongside gong sound sessions, private reiki healing and reiki certification training. The studio says classes run every day of the week, but it does not post class times online — its booking page covers the reiki trainings only, so call or message for the schedule before you plan a visit.
Traditional Body and Brain Burbank
Part of the Korean Body and Brain chain, which is not yoga in the vinyasa sense: the classes braid together gentle stretching, tai chi and qigong, breathing exercises and meditation, with the nervous system rather than the shape as the point. Good for anyone who wants to move slowly and be talked through it. Trial classes are the usual way in.
Sound bath Calming Spot
Two rooms, one of them outdoors: a dark candlelit studio on 6th Street for 50-minute sound baths, and sunset sessions on Santa Monica beach when the calendar says so. Booked by the class rather than by membership, with private events and facilitator training alongside.
Meditation InsightLA Santa Monica Meditation Center
The Santa Monica home of InsightLA, a non-profit meditation organisation — a hall rather than a yoga room. Weekly classes cover mindfulness and loving-kindness for beginners through to experienced sitters, alongside MBSR and mindful self-compassion courses, Buddhist teachings, daylong retreats and community events. Sessions run in person and online, and there are Spanish-language classes on the calendar. Parking is metered every day except Sunday.
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.
Flow Red Diamond Yoga Washington
The second Red Diamond room, on Washington Boulevard, running the same mix as the Palms studio — vinyasa flow, restorative, traditional practice and meditation — with an infrared sauna attached. Teacher trainings, breathwork trainings, workshops and community adventures round it out. Long opening hours: most days from 7am to 8pm, short on Saturdays.
Hot yoga Satorii Yoga and Wellness
Moved from West LA to Berkeley Street in the summer of 2026, with a heated room, a non-heated room and a dedicated meditation space. Classes run seven days a week: a slow, breath-led foundation class, a signature yang-then-yin hybrid, a conditioning class of strength and mobility drills, and a faster intermediate flow. Most of the room work is heated to 85–90°F, so come expecting to sweat unless you pick a non-heated slot.
Meditation Self-Realization Fellowship Glendale Temple
The Fellowship's Glendale temple, a striking mid-century building on Chevy Chase Drive with a roof that sweeps up like a sail. Sunday and meditation services, Sunday school, and teen and young-adult programmes — more of a congregation than a drop-in room, and welcoming to first-timers.
Meditation Self-Realization Fellowship Hollywood Temple
One of Paramahansa Yogananda's own temples, on Sunset near Vermont and running since the 1940s. The practice here is Kriya-lineage meditation rather than asana — Sunday services, meditation services, and a bookroom selling the Fellowship's texts. Open to anyone; no experience assumed and nothing to sign up for before you arrive.
Meditation Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine
Ten acres of spring-fed lake and gardens off Sunset, with a windmill chapel, a houseboat and a temple up the hill — the most-visited of the Fellowship's LA sites and as much a garden as a centre. Meditation services and Sunday services run in the temple; the grounds are the reason most people come. Visits are by reservation, so book before you drive out.
Traditional Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center Los Angeles
Classical Sivananda practice, seven days a week, from a Broadway suite sixteen blocks from the beach. The all-levels class is a full 90 minutes — breathing exercises, sun salutations, the twelve basic postures and a long final relaxation — with a shorter gentle class for anyone who wants more warm-up and shorter holds. Daily satsang of meditation and chanting is free and open to everyone, and the centre also runs teacher training, meditation and positive-thinking courses, yoga therapy and Ayurveda. Classes are offered in person and online; pre-registration is expected and there is a dress code.
Flow The Awoken Space
A small pastel room above the Pacific Coast Highway with an ocean view, running yoga, meditation and breathwork classes and workshops. Half of it is a curated shop — books, records and handmade objects — and the project extends into a podcast, so the space is as much a scene as a timetable. Contact is by email; check the schedule page before driving out.
Community The Circle Burbank
Not a public studio: a private women's membership community on Burbank Boulevard whose own site says it is open to members only. The programming is circles, sound baths, movement and workshops rather than a class timetable, and the room is built for sitting together. Worth knowing before you turn up — you join first, then attend.
The Clearing Topanga
A community-run studio in the canyon, named for the space in a forest where people gather. The schedule is built from local teachers and runs slow yin, creative flows, breath sessions and sound baths rather than a single house style. Memberships and studio rental are both on offer; contact is by email.
Meditation The Mindry
A meditation-first wellness centre off Cross Creek Road that describes itself as a sanctuary more than a studio — cushions before mats. The in-studio schedule mixes meditation and yoga, with private sessions, body and energy work, workshops and trainings alongside, plus an on-demand library if you would rather practise at home. There is a shop attached selling incense, oils and singing bowls.
Meditation Thrive Health and Wellness Collective
A collective of more than thirty independent practitioners founded by acupuncturist Margot Chambers in 2021, spread across two buildings on Stanford Avenue. Most of it is one-to-one treatment — acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, herbal medicine — but upstairs there is a studio room used for group meditation, sound journeys, reiki and yoga, plus a bamboo rooftop deck for community classes. Come for a specific event on the calendar; this is a healing practice first and a class timetable second.
Sound bath Zula Den
A West Adams space built around sound healing, breathwork and guided meditation rather than a class timetable — ceremonies, workshops and community gatherings are the format. Come for the evening events rather than a drop-in.
