Featured Meditation Open Venice
The in-person studio of Open, the meditation and breathwork app, in a plywood-lined practice room under an oval skylight on Market Street. Classes run from 6:30 a.m.: Flow, Align, Tone and Power Tone through the day, then Breath + Sound and Restore in the evenings, and the studio also books 30-minute Hot+Cold sauna sessions. Mats, sweat towels and eye masks are provided, phones stay out of the practice room, and first-timers are asked to arrive 15 minutes early for a tour.
Kundalini Kundalini Silverlake
An intimate, affordable studio specializing in Kundalini practice, breathwork and chanting.
Slow flow Power Yoga East
A light-filled second-floor loft focused on breath-led, steady practice rather than high-intensity flow.
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.
Traditional Body and Brain Koreatown
The Koreatown centre of the Korean Body and Brain chain, on the lower level at 3959 Wilshire. As at the Burbank and Northridge rooms, this is not yoga in the vinyasa sense: gentle stretching, tai chi and qigong, breathing exercises and meditation, aimed at the nervous system rather than the shape. Some classes are streamed as well as taught in the room, and some run online only. A trial class is the usual way in.
Meditation Body and Brain Torrance
The Hawthorne Boulevard centre of the Korean Body and Brain chain, and the fourth of its LA rooms in this directory. As at Burbank, Northridge and Koreatown, the classes braid gentle stretching, tai chi and qigong, breathing exercises and meditation, aimed at the nervous system rather than the shape. A trial class is the usual way in.
Traditional Body and Brain Valley
The Northridge centre of the Korean Body and Brain chain, at Nordhoff and Balboa. As at the Burbank room, this is not yoga in the vinyasa sense: classes braid gentle stretching, tai chi and qigong, breathing exercises and meditation, with the nervous system rather than the shape as the point. Slow, talked-through, and easy to start from nothing. A trial class is 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.
Flow Crenshaw Yoga and Dance
A yoga and dance studio on the Crenshaw corridor, priced deliberately low and open about it: the pitch is invigorating classes at an affordable price rather than a boutique experience. Yoga and meditation sit on the same timetable as dance, and there is a kids programme and studio rental for pop-ups, workshops and filming.
Meditation Diamond Way Buddhist Center Los Angeles North
A lay Buddhist centre in the Karma Kagyu tradition, run by volunteers out of a house on Valley Vista. The public meditation programme is the way in for newcomers, with talks and special events alongside. A meditation centre rather than a yoga room, and no asana on the schedule.
Slow flow Garden of Yoga
A small, deliberately unglamorous studio on a residential street off Ventura, running mindful, gentle, restorative and mixed-level classes with an emphasis on working around injuries and chronic pain rather than pushing through them. Every class is offered live online as well as in the room, there is a pranayama and meditation class on the schedule, and sound baths run monthly. The draw is hands-on alignment feedback in a room small enough for the teacher to actually see you.
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 Lotus Wellness and Yoga
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.
Flow Metta Meditation and Yoga Studio
Open since 2018 on the Montrose edge of Glendale, and unusual in giving meditation equal billing with the mat: short guided sits are scheduled as their own twenty-minute classes straight after the evening Vinyasa, not tacked onto the end of one. The rest of the week runs Hatha, Yin, Gentle Yoga, a breathwork-and-twists class and a stretch ritual, with crystal-bowl sound bath meditations as the recurring special event. There are meditation chairs as well as mats.
Flow practiceALTADENA
A room-temperature studio on Lake Avenue whose sessions are named rather than graded, flow, rest, a half-and-half flow-then-rest, an alignment workshop class, a philosophy-and-drills class called yoke, and a seated pranayama and meditation sit. All are open to every level and mats and props are free to borrow. Pricing is a two-tier sliding scale, Phoenix or Patron, that the studio asks you to choose by financial capacity after the fire, with a lower supported rate on marked sessions and community rates for students, teachers, essential workers and veterans on request. The studio publishes its post-fire remediation in detail: full attic and HVAC remediation, walls sanded and resealed, donated replacement mats and props, a continuously running air-quality monitor, and classes cancelled if readings are unsafe. Contact is by email; there is no phone line.
Sound bath Pure Sound Bath
A sound healing studio rather than a yoga studio, at the south end of Redondo Beach near Riviera Village, opened in 2021 by Lynette Toma, a speech therapist by training. Sessions are played on gongs, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, chimes and bells, and are kept small. There is no fixed weekly timetable: group sound baths are posted on the booking calendar, some of them at venues around the South Bay, and the studio also takes private and on-location events and runs a one-to-one sound bath teacher training in three levels.
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.
Flow ROAM LA Yoga
On Blake Avenue in Frogtown, the riverside strip of Elysian Valley across the river from Lincoln Heights, with an outdoor studio as well as an indoor room. Donation-based meditation runs every Monday evening, there is a livestream schedule and a video library, and the studio also runs a bodywork practice.
Sahaja Yoga Meditation and Cultural Center
A non-profit meditation centre on Ventura Boulevard where every class is free and open to the public, no membership, no drop-in fee, no experience needed. The practice is Sahaja Yoga meditation rather than asana. Sessions run midday on Mondays and Tuesdays, evenings midweek and Saturday mornings; the organisation also holds classes at other Valley locations.
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.
Pilates Spiritual Flow Studio
A mother-and-daughter studio on Ventura that runs three things at once: reformer Pilates, heated mat Pilates and sculpt, and a yoga-and-sound track spanning vinyasa, detox power flow, yin, restorative and sound bath meditation. The heat is infrared and varies by class rather than being one hot room (roughly 96–100°F for mat Pilates and sculpt, 80°F on the reformers), with LED red-light therapy in the evening sessions. Reiki is offered one-to-one alongside the class schedule.
Restorative Studio Om
A volunteer-run 501(c)(3) lounge studio in University Park, built around four evening sessions a week instead of a daily timetable: After-Work Reset on Tuesday, Deep Sleep Reset with a sound bath on Wednesday, Social Reset with a community dinner on Thursday, and Slow Reset with restorative practice and kirtan on Sunday. The yoga is gentle and beginner-friendly, sessions are $20, and booking ahead is required because groups are capped at about 10 to 12.
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.
Flow Veda Yoga La Cienega
The second room of Veda Yoga Center, the non-profit that has run on Venice Boulevard in Culver City since 2014, this one upstairs on South La Cienega. Same footing: classes from beginner to advanced taught in the Vedic tradition the name comes from, and complimentary lifetime memberships for veterans, military, firefighters and law enforcement.
Meditation Vedic Yoga and Meditation
Not a drop-in studio in the usual sense: this is the Swadharma Ashram, an ashram, Ayurveda clinic and college on Kenwood Street that dates its founding to 1901, with a Vedic Yoga studio inside it. The yoga taught is Swadharma Kriya Yoga alongside Sanskrit, Vedic philosophy and Jyotisha, and the same address offers Ayurvedic therapies and consultations. Sound baths, a women's circle and teacher trainings are on the public calendar. Come for the tradition and the study, not for a vinyasa class.
Power Vive LA Yoga
An eco-chic San Pedro studio running 35-plus classes a week, built on the pairing it advertises: Power Vinyasa on one side of the schedule, Yin and meditation on the other. A 200-hour teacher training, retreats and private sessions fill out the rest, and the first week is free. The only full-schedule yoga studio the directory lists in San Pedro.
Flow Yoga Rebel Studio
Boutique strength, yoga and recovery on Foothill Boulevard, running 20-plus classes a week across three tracks, dynamic vinyasa and candlelit slow flows on the yoga side, plus strength, mat Pilates and mobility work, and sound bath meditations on the events calendar. Classes cap at twelve students, which is the reason to come: at that size a teacher can actually watch you.
Flow Yoga108
A downtown Long Beach studio built around Bhakti principles, with a free kirtan on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Infrared heat, vinyasa and fitness classes fill the timetable, with workshops, trainings and retreats on top.
Yogalution Movement and Wellness
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.
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.
