Purple Yoga — Local services in Long Beach

I am a middle aged women who wants something that is challenging but not to where I can't walk or raise my arms the next days. I am really trying to build and strengthen my joints, feet, and hands. I practiced yoga for about a year like 5 years ago and am now just getting back into it. I go to both the Long Beach and the Huntington Beach locations. They are both very clean, staff is very nice at both. I have been trying different classes and different instructors to see what I like the most. The Red class seems to be fitting my personal needs, is most like a traditional yoga class from my limited experience. I also really like the Green class which focuses on standing poses and less on shoulders and arms. The restoration class isn't for me personally but the other people that attended seemed to really be stoked on it. I am looking forward to working up to Purple and trying the Purple fit.

I don't know how many other people would be into this but a Sunday night like 6 or 7, would be cool to mentally prepare for my work week but I may be unique in wanting this. But if you had it, I would go. I think for what you get the price is extremely reasonable. ...

The Cold Plunge experience was my first and I would have never dared to immerse myself in iced-cold water had it not been for Sahara’s cheerful support and encouragement. I enjoyed that experience immensely, 4 times! Sahara encouraged and cheered for us every step of the way to push beyond our comfort level while at the same time being quite attuned to individual needs and skill level. She is an amazingly positive teacher and such a pleasure to practice with. Thanks for an impeccably organized...

I was a member of Purple Yoga studio for a while.. Experienced nice moments, a specially during retreat to Bali. However, my life situation changed drastically and I became a full time student in Respiratory Therapy. I am 55 and unfortunately I had to make different decision to start life from beginning. As difficult this time it is, I was asking management provide me with student discount. Unfortunately owners denied request for a reason of my age. They emailed me that they only support young generation students. I felt disappointed and discriminated against due to my age. I believe that support for students should transcend age boundaries. I feel there is a contrast between yoga philosophy and owners response. Unfortunately the management is not supportive and it's discriminating, very...
