Center for Yoga

I love the Infrared Hot Flow class! Lilian is fantastic. I really appreciate how she focuses on the internal experience and target areas rather than strict alignment, which I find a bit outdated. She offers a range of options for different skill levels and provides clear, easy-to-follow cues. I just wish her class started a little earlier so I could kick off my day with it. Definitely my favorite flow class in Mid-City LA!

One of the best studios in LA. They remain authentic to what that space started out as years ago. All are welcome and the teaching is deeply intentional while being so welcoming. There's an energy to the space that is so special and I'm very grateful I get to practice here.

First time at the studio and what a nice check in process. Everything was a breeze. I had a great class with Eduardo, challenging and inspiring. Many different classes here throughout the day. I’ll be coming back for more. Namaste and thanks.

This was my first yoga class in a studio in over 20 years. I have participated off and on online for some time. Those were nothing like being in person! It felt very good. Ashley was very welcoming and conscientious of me being a rookie! I look forward to more classes with her and others. Thanks!

Keri is a very thoughtful teacher. No matter your level or years of study, you leave the class with a great sense of accomplishment - the feeling that you are progressing and growing in your practice. She also gives general guidance that translates well in helping to develop a consistent home practice.

I visited the studio for a weekend work shop. Annie’s knowledge and teachings of the sutil movements our body is capable of accessing, needed to truly connect in a balanced way to every asana, is exquisite. Truly a master of her craft and I am thrilled to be here (visiting from New Orleans) and looking forward to Day 2 & 3. Plenty bathrooms available, space is clean, has a cute area with merchandise (clothes, books, props, etc.). Staff was friendly! The event started and ended on time as well which is important to me.

I really enjoy my prenatal class with Heather. It’s gentle and challenging at the same time depending on my mood. With her guidance, I really make sure that I do the right motion without hurting me or my baby. I highly recommend her class!

I have known Joan for years now, mostly through virtual classes (since I live in NJ), but finally met her last summer at a retreat in Costa Rica. I was on the west coast for work last week, and was able to join a class at Center for Yoga. The space was beautiful and Joan is always a pleasure to see. I cannot speak highly enough about her level of expertise and professionalism. In a world where we have so many choices and so little time, I make it a point to participate in her offerings any chance I get because it feels like a gift each time and the benefits spill over into many areas of my day/life. I am honored to be a part of her student base. Namaste!

Fantastic studio with truly exceptional instructors!!! While I haven't taken every teacher's class yet, the handful I've tried have all been excellent. I regularly attend Kimberlee's class -- her sequencing, cues, music, and energy are incredible. I can feel my practice getting stronger with every session. What's made the biggest difference for me is how much more aware I've become of moving with my breath. When I notice that connection slip, I pause, reset, and flow again -- something I've learned directly from her teaching. It's been a wonderful evolution in my practice. The space itself is beautiful and well-run. The studio clearly puts care into selecting knowledgeable, passionate instructors and offers a wide variety of classes throughout the day. I really appreciate how accessible the schedule makes it to fit yoga into my routine. Highly recommend.

My first time here and I love it. Probably my favorite yoga place right now. Very nice studio, so clean with huge room, and staffs are friendly. My instructor Daniel is such a doll with the most amazing energy. Because our class is small in size, we get to do some special poses with the chair. My back feels so good afterward I practically float to my car.

Great neighborhood studio. Clean and Accommodating with dedicated teachers. Just wish some of class's were still 90 minutes and that there was more yin. Perhaps a monthly 90 minute yin workshop!? Because that's what yin is all about.

CFY made me fall in love with yoga and appreciate life more -- and I used to be a cranky bitch. The teachers, staff and community here are all stellar. I see such a difference in my physical strength, body and mental composure since I started "practicing" at CFY. FYI: I am not a yogi who does scorpion pose. I am a flawed human who barely gets through a hot yoga class. BUT I am always more upbeat and feel more connected to the world when I walk out. Thank you CFY -- everyone here! -- for being so thoughtful and welcoming! X and O, M.

This is my home away fro home. It's by far the best yoga studio in Los Angeles. But wait, there's so much more! There is yoga for all levels, vinyasa, yoga sculpt, iyengar, vin yin, hot yoga, hot Pilates, restorative...too many options to name. Only the best of the best, teach at center for yoga, so it's impossible to go wrong. Besides yoga, I'm especially drawn to Center For Yoga because of its community. People engage, interact, encourage and inspire each other and the whole staff is a conduit to that. If only I could leave a 6 star review....

Allison's class was so relaxing, the sound bath was a bonus. Would take her class in a heartbeat. What a treat indeed!

The Center for Yoga is an incredible yoga space, with classes from some of the best yoga instructors in Los Angeles. The space itself is historic, charming, and welcoming. Front desk staff check in with you regarding injuries at sign in, to ensure that everyone stays safe in class. The Larchmont community is so lucky to have this gem back.

Center for yoga is truly my happy place. All of the teachers here are next level amazing and the community is friendly and welcoming. Thanks to all of the incredible teachers here, my yoga practice has expanded in ways I never thought possible. I'm forever grateful to be a member of this beautiful community.

I've been going to classes here religiously for about two years now. The teachers are amazing and there are many different types of classes to choose from. The community is very welcoming and friendly as well! This is by far my favorite yoga studio!

Love the energy; advanced, aware and spiritual instructors. Management team, professional and friendly. Joe Kara is magic. Thank goodness the oldest yoga studio in LA is thriving. I'm a yoga teacher of 20 years and this is the real deal. The most authentic yoga center in Hollywood. Love love love

Center For Yoga is simply the BEST!! From the knowledgeable, friendly and always professional front desk, to the magical studio spaces with original hardwood floors and Buddha statues though-out. Every instructor is a true gift and master of their trade. There is no place like CFY in the world and I am grateful to practice there when I'm in LA. Definitely check it out, you will not be disappointed!!

Came here because I found a deal for 2 weeks of unlimited classes on groupon. Classes were great, every instructor I tried was amazing! BUT Parking is a big hassle because you have to pay to park anywhere, unless you park further into residential. The location is very busy, which is nice if you want to walk around after. The only reason I didn't attend the last 5 days of available classes was because the receptionist had told me not to call again, and try to schedule my classes online since she may be busy... I've been a receptionist before, and usually answering phone calls and offering assistance is the main goal for the job, so I was kind of confused by her request since it only takes about 15 seconds to inform her which class I'd be attending I couldn't figure out how to enroll for classes online since Group On is completely separate and it was asking for payment, so I ended up not going because I just didn't want to feel like I was bothering her again :\ Otherwise a nice establishment. I wish they had more than 1 bathroom, and maybe a shower/ private lockers. But overall the classes were nice and I would have gone again.

Very clean studio in the cozy neighborhood of larchmont Village. They do not require masks but they do require proof of vaccination for Covid-19. The class I took was by Ashley Rideaux. The pace and the mood of the class was excellent and she offered modifications for those who needed them. Her class is definitely suitable for all levels and she is an excellent singer and did sing a chant for us while in Sivasana

Nice infrared room for hot yoga but class was absolutely packed with no space to even move without touching other people. The instructor was on his phone half the class and led the class like a military class. I hated being packed like sardines. The room holds 35 people and my class had 27 and it was overfull. Not worth it.

The best yoga studio in Los Angeles! The teachers are excellent and the space is warm and welcoming. I have been going here for over three decades. I enjoy the knowledgeable and friendly staff. I especially love Cristi Christensen, Grace Huang and Chrissy Gonzalez's classes! The manager and front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, too! I highly recommend this studio!

Attended Jason Crandell's workshop series on May 6 ... I NEVER drive to LA for yoga (I live about an hour north) ... it was absolutely worth it!!!! When I saw he was doing his first in person event in several years, I knew I had to make it to these workshops! I've only practiced with him online and taken his online courses. So much info, and what a great studio!

I went to my first class at Center for Yoga (vinyasa flow - all levels @ Sat 1pm) and it was absolutely wonderful! 5/5 recommend. Deborah was the amazing yoga instructor. She paced the vinyasa class perfectly and made sure it was accessible to all levels so that you could modify to make the class as challenging as needed. She also included nice core work into the yoga practice which I enjoyed. Deborah also provided helpful corrections and tips to those who confirmed they would appreciate that assistance during class (she asked the whole class beforehand to get permission for those who did/didn't want hands-on adjustments if needed). The studio is clean and well-spaced out, with plenty of cubbies to put belongings in (can also take into the room). They also have complimentary blocks and bands for use during class and each practicing yogi is expected to clean/sanitize them after. The check-in process was also quick and easy and the yoga room had good ventilation. I've been looking for a great yoga studio and am excited to have found CFY! I will definitely come back to take another vinyasa class with Deborah. I would also love to see a candlelight yoga on the schedule if that's in the works! Good way to end the day. (:

CFY is hands down the best yoga studio in Los Angeles -- I have been coming to this studio 4-5 times a week and have never had anything less than a stellar experience. You will not find more knowledgeable, experienced and passionate teachers anywhere else in LA. The staff here has gone to great lengths to create a community that feels welcoming and diverse and it shows in every class. You will find people of all ages and walks of life with a shared passion for their yoga practice. Can not recommend more highly!

an absolute gem of a studio! I've been practicing in this space for over a decade. If you're curious about yoga or currently practicing, I would highly encourage anyone to come by!

the best yoga studio I've ever been to. all teachers are so incredibly knowledgeable and the front staff is kind and welcoming. I'll be a member as long as I'm in LA!

I have never found a yoga spot I love this much. The sense of community, the kindness, mindfulness...everyone makes you feel very welcome. The instructors are very gentle with all levels from beginner to experienced.

The Center for yoga is not just an amazing place to discover and practice yoga, it is a very welcoming and fun community. I love their classes, their teachers, their staff, and the supportive community that gathers in this beautiful historic building to practice. Try it! You will love it! #centerforyoga

When the pandemic started my home studio shut down, and I stopped practicing. So I'm grateful that the community saved this amazing space. I started coming here when they reopened and it's such a big part of my life! The teachers and staff are wonderful people :)

Hadn't been to an in-person yoga class in almost two years but once I heard Center For Yoga was open again I HAD to go! Our mats were spaced a comfortable distance apart and I was pleasantly surprised how little the mask bothered me. Proud to be a Center For Yoga member!

Center for Yoga is one-of-a-kind! An oldest yoga studio in town with impressive layout, located in a vibrant Larchmont neighborhood with ample parking. A close-knit, mindful and caring community of students, teachers and management who work their magic to create a warm, welcoming and uplifting atmosphere for everyone on the yogic path who wishes to practice here. Very much an authentic experience. They offer a nice variety of yoga styles and experience levels. The instructors are remarkable - each with their own unique style, all highly skilled and dedicated to their craft. The front desk does a great job in keeping everything flowing with ease and smile. A happy and inspired place. An incredible yoga practice space all around!

I used to go here all the time when the studio was owned by YogaWorks. I went to Pia's mat Pilates class this morning and she kicked my butt! Her empathetic and clear instruction and tough workout was just what I needed. Center for Yoga has a lot of the same great teachers from YogaWorks such as Pia, Joe Kara and Patty Lewis. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by Pia's Sunday pilates class at 1030am. You can even browse the farmers market afterwards. The studio has been newly renovated and is very clean and covid-safe. But they still maintain the same earthy, rustic vibe from before.

This studio is authentic and offers a wide variety of yoga styles. There are so many incredible teachers assembled here. There really is something for everyone here. The community is warm and welcoming. I also love the location in the beautiful Larchmont Village. Plenty of cafes and restaurants around for a post-class meal or Parking is pretty easy, with plenty of meters on Larchmont Blvd., but there is also free residential parking one block in any direction, and it's a lovely area for a stroll.

So cute and everyone was lovely. Did a sound bath with my yogi friend and we were in heaven by the end! If I lived in CA this would definitely be a go to spot!

This studio has been a staple in my life for years. After the pandemic it was revived with new ownership. It's clean, the teachers are great and there is a variety of classes for every level of yoga practitioner. Check it out!

It's great to get back to practicing yoga with others and building community. The CFYLA space is very spacious. There are several practice studios and the one I frequent is two stories high and could accommodate 40 people easily. Maybe 60. Right now the classes I frequent are between 9 and 12 people, so there's plenty of space to practice with comfort.

The BEST yoga studio in LA!!!! By far. Teaching REAL yoga and the friendliest front desk in the city. I love every class and every teacher. Seriously. Ali R xo

Nona is BACK. Great teacher. Was YOGAWORKS which closed during COVID. Now new management. Clean. Refurbished. All levels of yoga. Love seeing YOGAWORKS RETURNEES!

I absolutely love this historical yoga studio and have been coming for over ten years, but the new ownership has taken this community to a new level. The teachers are a mix of the greats that have been around and some new exceptional talent. The gals that run the studio and work the desk put a lot of effort in to learning everyone's names and making it feel like a real community. I never felt that before anywhere in LA tbh. They have a great variety of yoga classes, including some sculpt classes so I can scratch that itch as well. I love it here and if you love anywhere in the area I'd highly recommend.

Center for Yoga is my favorite place to be in LA. The front desk staff is friendly, the instructors are supportive and kind, and the overall environment is so welcoming for people of all levels. The Candlelight Flow Yoga Class taught by Eka has quickly become the highlight of my week and my practice has improved so much since joining. You won't regret checking out this studio!

So much joy to have this studio back. Much love to the community who made this happen. The spaces have been nicely refreshed and all COVID protocols being followed. Very clean, great energy, wonderful teachers.

Great teachers and the rooms have a great history, especially the big room. I have practiced here for 7 years, it used to be yogaworks. Almost the same, but a lot more fresh.

The Center for Yoga is much more than a yoga studio -- it's become Larchmont's community oasis! I should disclose that I am new to yoga, having never been able to touch my toes; a seemingly lost cause. But the classes here are amazing, lots of variety and for all levels. Their teachers are phenomenal. Becky is brilliant and helped turn my life around and Pia helped me shed the covid pounds all the while making me laugh through class. And just as important is the spirit behind the studio that is so appreciated. Neighbors came together to buy the studio during covid and now the whole studio hums along with an openness and warmth that you just couldn't get from a corporate business. Deborah, Daniel and Allison -- thank you for looking after us and setting the tone that sets this studio apart. You are so bright and lovely!

Highly recommend this studio. The candlelit flow class on Wednesday evenings is amazing for an after-work release.

The best yoga studio i LA, it trully feels like being home while taking classes. They offer not only yoga but also pilates, meditation, sound bath and other great classes to work on your wellbeing.

A truly great, welcoming space. The staff and teachers are friendly and helpful. The sound baths by Lila Bassior are particularly awesome; highly recommend! I'm so glad the space was saved by the community of yogis who love it so. Very glad to be back!

Our beloved Studio is back! This has long been my favorite yoga studio in the entire world. I'm SO GRATEFUL for the folks that resurrected this very important oasis in the center of Los Angeles. The practice rooms are immaculate , the class sizes are small, the instructors are extraordinary, attentive and work with students of all levels and abilities. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I cannot be more grateful to have this studio open again. I come to L.A. on the regular. As a yoga teacher myself, it's the ONLY studio that gives me the warmth, grounding and energy I need. I love the pace of the Level 2/3, the music, the space, the people. Congrats, y'all, on working so hard to maintain this strong community. I'll see you again soon.

There's no place like home. Thank goodness this magical space has reopened, and brought back the most wonderful community of teachers and students. The schedule has something for everyone, from first timers to advance practitioners, taught by L.A.'s most respected teachers. Center for Yoga will uplift your body, mind and soul.

It's so great to be back in the yoga rooms at the Center for Yoga on Larchmont Teachers are amazing. There's a huge variety of styles to choose from. Check out the Saturday and Sunday 9am with Molly. She's great. The only downside is the windows are open and the coffee aroma from Go get 'Em Tiger can be distracting. I'm so happy a team of locals figured out how to re-open the center. Nameste

The re-fresh of this studio is to die for!! The colors and carpet and space and light are so lovely, and the welcoming vibe that has always been part of this center persists. The schedule is great, the people are kind very neighborly types and the store always has exactly what I need. Most importantly however are the teachers: I can't say enough about the sheer warmth and experience and professionalism of every single teacher I've encountered here. Big thanks to everyone who helped re-open this special studio! I look forward to practicing with you for years to come :)
