This was my first yoga class post-injury and it was AMAZING. Took the Yin class & now I’m obsessed! The instructor was Laura & she was phenomenal. Loved her proper anatomical explanations through the class & her playlist was dope. The Yin class is perfect for beginners & a good deep stretch class. At the end of class they give you an ice cold lavender towel & it’s absolute heaven. I’ve been working with physical therapy & lifting heavy while coming back from an injury & didn’t realize this was exactly what I needed as part of my recovery process.
The studio itself has a very modern look. I love that the yoga rooms don’t have mirrors. The locker areas are kept clean & organized. Their water refill station helps you stay hydrated after all that sweating. There’s street parking or a lot behind the studio (with their validation it’s like $3) they also have an outdoor patio area with wifi if you get there early or want to chill after class & get some work done.
The customer service was above & beyond. The staff was so friendly & helpful you could tell they’re genuinely happy to be there. It looks like the studios are under new ownership about 6 months ago, so whatever they’re doing — they’re doing it right! They have locations in Santa Monica, West Hollywood, & Little Tokyo as well. Looking forward to taking more classes at Sweat Yoga!

Read moreNo phone number to contact and limited communication from email correspondence.
Background: I purchased a trial period and could not book a class. Every time I tried to sign up for a class the system said I was already booked for the day which is not possible. I went ahead and just did a walk in since I live pretty close. Thank goodness the class wasn’t full. I mentioned this problem to the receptionist and she said “I’ve heard of other guests having this problem during their trial period the issue usually goes away when the trial is over so just keep walking in and hopefully we can get you in a class”. That’s pretty annoying but whatever it’s not a big deal. I was only able to attend 2 classes. The problem is I was charged for a missed class during this trial period because the system showed that I signed-up for a class although I was not able to book online.
Again, sweat yoga has no phone number for any of their locations so I was only able to email them. After many unanswered emails, someone finally responded saying they will get back to me next week. That week never came.
Pretty deceptive business practices.
Note: the missed class fee was not much and wouldn’t break the bank but transparency and trust is important to...
Read moreThis place is great! I am fairly new to Sweat Yoga Playa Vista and I have felt welcomed every time by the front desk staff. The staff are helpful, diligent in keeping the place clean, and pleasant, which is always a plus when a attending a new business of any kind. I have had the pleasure of participating in class with various instructors (mainly in the AM) on different days, and all of them (Toniann, Kimberly, and Alyssa) have left me feeling confident and fulfilled after the one hour sessions. These instructors are informative and are always willing to offer advice on how one can improve their yoga skill sets. This is a therapeutic experience, you can actually feel the toxins and negativity leave your body, and at the same time you feel the strength building and improvement in vascularity, at least I felt that way. If you are on the fence about attending Sweat Yoga, give it chance, you may be pleasantly surprised on how much your body can achieve in one hour of sweating it out. My only complaint is that I did not start doing Sweat Yoga earlier in my life. Keep up the hard work and...
