Rising Lotus Yoga — Local services in Los Angeles

Everyone told me that the Teacher Training at RLY would change my life and boy were they telling the truth! The combination of the leadership and the expertise of Claire and Daniel has been an extraordinary growth experience. Claire's emphasis on alignment and core strength in yoga practice with the NKT specialized focus has improved my understanding of the importance of proper execution for life long longevity of yoga practice and has improved my personal practice exponentially. Claire ensures that we trainees can confidently teach and explain the how and why of the poses and the alignment so that our teaching will lead others to success in their practice without injury. Daniel's deep love for and ability to teach and develop our respect and knowledge of the roots and the tools of yoga have given me a wonderful foundation to move through life, and yoga practice, at the edge of the heat with the ability to rest in what is here, now, reflect, revive and renew moving forward with joy and respect for the process. And, just when you think that's it, you get the added bonus' of Nina and Micki who are outstanding in their practices and their teachings of Yoga! The Ayurvedic Living class that Scherry taught 100% improved my daily nutritional focus and has made a visible improvement on my physical appearance. I feel supported and welcomed every time I come to RLY for class and I will go forth in my own yoga teaching knowing that I have been trained by the absolute best in the business! SO...

I went to Rising Lotus because I injured my back and could no longer go to my regular gym. I was hoping to find a slower pace and relief for my pain. My best friend joined me and we had one of the best experiences ever. We took advantage of the new student special and attended 10 classes over 21 days. I was mostly sticking to Easy does it with Rose and Level 1 yoga with Nina. Both were super comfortable for me and my back that was constantly in pain. I got to stretch the muscles I didn’t know existed and I just felt so relaxed and so easy. It didn’t feel like a workout, but taking care of your body essential needs. Sadly, my back didn’t improve BUT when I spoke about it with Rose, she recommended a chiropractor for my back. I went in, he fixed me and I found out that I couldn’t do yoga. So I’m stopping for now but I’m immensely grateful for the experience and for the connections I made. The teachers are incredibly kind and attentive, the front desk staff is friendly and welcoming, they take care of what you need every step of the way with the right equipment, pose variations and personal attention when you have pain areas. I’m so happy I tried it and will definitely be back...

I am taking time out of my busy schedule to write you about the ridiculous, awful end I had to the class I took with Lilia Mead at 10:45 on 1/18/18. The class was fine throughout. At the end during the close of class, Lilia began berating us with her political views.

I am a client. I payed money to your company to meditate and do yoga. Not to hear some persons diatribe about the (and I quote) "Smuck in the Oval Office." What kinda business are you running that you allow your employees to speak about their personal political beliefs? This is Yoga, not the town hall. Its a place of mindfulness, not vitriolic ramblings at the closing of class. Everyone felt uncomfortable. We payed MONEY for your class!

I want you to know that I will be leaving a negative review on yelp. I will be leaving a negative review on google. Clean up your business. If I ever hear that in another class of your business that I go to, I will be speaking up. It will be very uncomfortable as I felt after this yoyo started yapping about her beliefs.

Dorit and Nina are great teachers. Professional and caring. This Lilia needs to be fired. I expect a clear and ample response from...
