LOVE this studio! I don't live in Altadena, but it's 100% worth the drive. Sam is an amazing yoga teacher and lovely person. She tailors movement to what people want to work on, and her classes (and fantastic playlists) always feel thoughtfully crafted. Whether it's a challenging flow or a more meditative "sit" class, I always leave the studio with the same sense of peace I have after a good massage, and I feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually. The space is beautiful, and Sam has taken great care to create a welcoming, communal environment. In addition to classes, the space is home to unique workshops and special events, like soundbaths, dance classes, and Heather Robb's quarterly "Something Blue" Songwriters' Round, which has become one of my all-time favorite events in LA. Sam's creativity and generosity shine in the fun activities she brings to the studio (the Self-Love challenge last February that ended with a bag of self-care goodies, the Bingo challenge in celebration of the studio's upcoming 1st birthday, and more). Finally, Sam has enlisted other fabulous teachers, like Bobby, to build a warm team. Can't recommend practice enough!
