Shiva yoga is the best yoga studio in town, no questions. I have never been more than an occasional practitioner that would get bored way too easily— but Garth and the teachers at Shiva opened my world to the wonderful philosophy and inner work that yoga unlocks. It’s not just a workout— it is therapy, it is understanding, it is balance and community. I have been to a yoga retreat in Bali with the Shiva yoga group and it has been nothing short of life changing. If you have never thought twice about yoga before I recommend you try a class at Shiva yoga! You will not regret the wonderful change that it will bring about in your life.

I have practice yoga for 20 years at studios in both New York City and Los Angeles. Shiva is unique because it focuses on the ancient art and magic of yoga. It is an intimate atmosphere while also offering an extensive schedule of practices. Garth, the owner, has a strong presence at the studio, whether he is greeting you at the front desk or teaching. I took class with Elias and particularly enjoyed his ability to weave the wisdom of consciousness into the physical act of the poses. I also purchased a beautiful and efficient yoga mat at the studio’s discretion, which is by far, my favorite of all time! Namaste!

If you are looking for a yoga studio that will connect you to your spirituality, inspiring teachers, and a kind community, look no further than Shiva. All of the teachers are great- I find myself consistently taking classes taught by Elias, Rebecca, and Sabrina. Each class starts with a dharma talk and starts/ends with the class chanting “om” which creates nice consistency between teachers. There are no mirrors or music which I really appreciate- their studio is really about removing distractions and going inward. And I still get a great workout! The people at the front desk are always kind and helpful- Garth is always eager to meet new people and learn their names. There are two spaces for classes- a large upper studio and a smaller studio on the level of the check-in desk. When you arrive, you can park across from the studio in a free lot (on Fairfax). Then you cross the street, enter the studio door, and climb the stairs to get to check-in. At the top of the stairs, everyone removes shoes before approaching the check-in desk. This studio always has community events- potluck meals, hikes, sound baths, and classes to deeper your understanding of the body/mind. They also have teacher training, massage, access to nutritionists, and a sauna. Looking forward to my next class!

Shiva Yoga is phenomenal. I’ve been practicing here for almost two years and my body and mind feel so much better through consistently practicing yoga at Shiva. The instructors are great— they focus on developing a feeling of equanimity through a rigorous physical practice. They’re experts at providing cues for proper alignment. I’ve gone through the teacher training program here and am now even starting to substitute teach. It’s a lovely place full of warm and kind people!
