Red Diamond Yoga Palms — Attraction in Los Angeles

I came across red diamond yoga while looking for a prenatal yoga class. I began with the Saturday classes with Constance and was so glad I did. Not only did it provide a place to meet and connect with other pregnant moms, but it also allowed me a chance for self care and exercise. The studio is easy to find - located on the corner at the second level of the strip mall. Parking can get difficult depending on the day, but there is a lot in the back too. They have package deals where you can buy 12 classes at once (averages to $13/class) or pay $15 for each prenatal class. The Tuesday/Thursday night classes and Saturday morning classes with Constance are a good balance between relaxation, stretching, and exercise. Constance incorporates an easy flow (good for both yoga enthusiasts and beginners) that focuses on building strength and flexibility in your hips and pelvis. She also helps you to practice your breathing, focus, and self esteem - all important in your labor process. You will feel some sort of workout as there are lunges, squats, etc. It’s very doable and helps build the strength needed for labor. I also loved Constance’s Wednesday morning class which is not as intensive, but focuses on the more gentle movements (still incorporating increasing flexibility) and a sound bath. I began these classes at 16weeks and went to the Saturday classes weekly until I went on mat leave and could attend the morning classes, all the way up to my 40th week of labor. All in all, if your looking for connection and a workout of some sort, I would highly recommend Constance’s classes. I am so grateful and will be coming back for my next pregnancy. I also hope to start the mommy and me classes once my baby...

Used to come here a lot. I've been doing yoga for about 30 years and have went through a yoga teacher training myself. Honestly, I got really bored. Most classes I've attended are what I call "yoga simon says". The instructors basically lead you thought a flow class that could easily be done at home watching a youtube video. Not much adjustment, not much explanation. And not much variety. I'm used to classes where you go to the wall, do headstands and challenge yourself. The body needs variety.There are so many more poses then warrior and down dog yet every class I've been too seems to spend lots of time doing basics. It feels like the majority of instructors here are young. Most of them probably went through a 200 hour training and are perky and look the part. But do they have the real yoga knowledge. Not too sure. Also sometimes the music is really inappropriate for a yoga class. But it is clean and the people that run it are...

Red Diamond Yoga is one of the best yoga students on the Westside. The facilities are well kept, bathrooms are spotless, and the check-in staff is always there to greet you with a smile.

What really separates Red Diamond from other studios is Lindsay Nyman - the most dreamy and fun yoga teacher in all of LA. Lindsay teaches Level 1/2 classes, along with Beginner Yoga classes that she makes fun and approachable for anyone. With her calming presence and hilarious one-liners, Lindsay helps experienced and new yogis not take their practice too seriously and just enjoy being in the moment and doing whatever is their best that day. It's a great perspective to take in class and in life.

Some of Red Diamond's classes are on ClassPass, so that can be a great way to check it out. There's a parking lot slightly east of the studio off Palms that is a great option when the main lot gets full...
