Tried out Shiva Yoga earlier this month for a class and liked it so much my fiancee and I decided to join! Have stayed consistent in classes each week since. Garth and the other teachers are very instructive and helpful, down-to- earth people with a lot of philosophical knowledge of the craft. I hadn't planned on it, but started meditation and breath classes as well, really learning a lot and feeling great. Would definitely recommend this as a studio for people looking to try out a class or looking for their yoga studio for the longer term too!

What a fantastic place to practice and learn! Classes are both accessible and challenging if so desired. Everyone is welcoming and supportive. There is a communal experience for those seeking it, with monthly pot luck dinners, hikes and satsangs! Garth has done the Los Angeles community a great service in creating this space. Thank you!

I have been attending classes at Shiva Yoga for a little over a month and have been having a great experience at this studio so far. The teachers have all been exceptionally consistent and dedicated and so have the students, which lends to a more serious and meaningful experience. There is a great balance here between meditation/spiritual intent and a solid workout as well. The rooms are airy with high ceilings and never feel cramped. I have been doing yoga for over 20 years and find this to be a great place to practice in a calm and nurturing environment. I highly recommend trying this studio and seeing if it is the right fit for you as well. It is rare to find such an oasis in my own neighborhood!:)

BEWARE OF THEIR GIFT CARDS!!! My husband purchased a gift card for a 10-class package. I recently tried to activate it, only to learn it had a 3-mo. expiration window -- and had expired! Shiva Yoga gladly accepted our hard-earned money, but I received zero benefit as a result. How's that engendering customer loyalty?

The hospitality at Shive Yoga is unmatched. I joined my first class yesterday and was running late. The owner Garth escorted me to class and prepared my mat & station for my practice. The difficulty of the class was intermediate. so, for a beginner, like me, it was bit challenging to keep up- but the instructor allowed me to feel safe challenging myself. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much! Classmates were inviting and helpful!

I love Shiva Yoga! Garth and all the studio teachers are excellent and highly qualified. I've been a member for over a year and it's such a delightful community that is teaching me what it means to be a yogi physically, mentally and spiritually, much more holistically than at my previous studio. They offer a wide variety of classes and amazing international retreats. I highly recommend the membership because of the additional perks, including the free mat which is the best I've ever used!

Attending a Sound Healing class and one of the best soundbaths I love to follow was a great start to Nov'23! When I arrived at Shiva Yoga for the class, the owner Garth of Shiva Yoga warmly greeted and welcomed me to his studio, I really felt like I was welcomed into his home. The studio is beautiful, Garth shows a lot of love to every detail--the pictures of classes and sessions on the walls added to the feeling of home. Checking in was super easy along with getting setup and using the Wellness Living website. David and Shelley Romero led the Sound Healing class, it's really awesome to see them share their love and passion for what they do along with their experience and education in sound healing. They covered a lot of ground in 6 hours, providing the information in an easy to follow way. David and Shelly really made us feel at ease to express ourselves during the practical sessions of the class. I came away from the class with many tools for adding to my personal healing practice on top of having the basic information needed to start building a sound healing practice. I'm looking forward to the next class. On the first night of the class David and Shelly held a sound healing session, I'm always impressed with the way they gently bring us into the meditiation. The main room of the studio was great acoustically, I felt completely enveloped by the sounds and music during the healing session. The session brought me a much needed break in my medical condition, giving me relief that lasted for a few hours after the soundbath. The healing session also gave me the reset needed for tackling all the stressful things life throws at me. David and Shelly really give a great session, having attended quite a few soundbaths around town I say they're best in LA. Many thanks to Shelly, David, Garth and the family at Shiva Yoga for making me feel at home and providing a great weekend of learning and healing!

I tried Shiva when I felt that my yoga practice wasn't advancing at my previous yoga studio and it definitely was the right choice. The instructors are knowledgeable and amazing at meeting students where they are and know how to push and challenge to help the practitioner progress in their practice. They're not only focused on the asanas but they include all the other aspects of yoga that most studios in the area tend to ignore such as meditation and yoga philosophy. The studio also fosters a sense of community by adding community-building program in its schedule such as monthly potlucks, kirtans and workshops. Switching to Shiva was definitely a good decision and I'm so grateful that I did.

To me, this yoga studio is perfect. It's a wonderful blend of both intense physical exercise, a source of meditative energy, and a super friendly community. Everyone who comes participates, partakes, and generates positive energy that is intoxicatingly addictive, and I find myself excited at the prospect of going to class. It's not for people who just want a physical workout -- there are plenty of other yoga studios for people who just want to sweat. This is for those who want a holistic yoga experience, where you come to feel supported and lend support to others.

Best studio I've visited in awhile. Environment is serious without being self important. Instructors all bring insight and warmth. Facilities are bright, inspiring and clean. This place has helped me deepen my practice after many years away from yoga. Initially a ClassPass attendee I found myself using all my credits just for this studio. Switched over to a membership here. I try to get all my friends to come.

The facility is very modern and clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I booked my first cupping session with Lydia and it was great. The combo of massage to pinpoint the knots to apply the cups was very effective. My back felt much better after the session and Lydia was great walking me though it and explaining things to me and making sure I was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend this treatment and definitely will go back!
