Sweat Yoga DTLA — Local services in Los Angeles

If there was a place for beginners to hot yoga to feel welcome and empowered through the journey, Sweat Yoga in Little Tokyo made it happen.

It took me years to even consider hot yoga since I always run hot. But seeing how conveniently close the location was to the Arts District, took the nose dive with my girlfriend to try the place out.

Hot yoga is daunting - and especially as a guy who’s inflexible, being around a bunch of flexible people was a big scary. But even going in the first time, I was welcomed with warm (haha) arms and my first teacher at Sweat, Shannon, immediately made some adjustments to help my new practice.

I’ve now had the pleasure of taking several classes from several teachers. Most notable classes that have stood to me so far are:

1. Sweat-Flow classes by Madeline, which are some of the most well versed and guided flows that allow you to clearly understand where your body parts need to go. She’s super nice too and will practice alongside you, even if the class is packed. You’ll walk out feeling like you stretched your body but still in a calm peace of mind.
2. Sweat-Chizle classes by Shannon are exciting, upbeat and keep you engaged. These are what I call the equivalent of HIIT Yoga, though it’s not fast paced. Having come from CrossFit and being injured by it, this class reminded me of some of the form we learned in CrossFit, such as planks, forearm work, Arnold’s, among other weight training activities but with much lighter weights (3-7lbs) and a lot more yoga flow packed in. It’s a great Sweat and you’ll feel like you’ve worked out and deserve a burger after.
3. CBD Candelight Yin class by grace was a super zen, super chill type of class. It was the first yoga class in a long time that I felt totally relaxed after and it felt like a new day had bestoyed upon me, even though it was already 9 by the time we came out. This specific class featured samples of CBD, including a CBD Tea, CBD rubs and ointments to try out problem areas. I was surprised to see the benefit of it so immediately, especially for the topical creams, but my wrist issues and lower back soreness went away and made the class ever more enjoyable. I hope they bring this class back as a regular situation! It’s enlightening and just a great stress releasing class.

All in all, Sweat Yoga Little Tokyo is my go to yoga studio. I love that they offer towel and yoga mat rentals, should you need them, though you wouldn’t see me on anything but nun CorkPro yoga mat which doesn’t require a towel even though I sweat buckets. Shoutout to OMGI for making those cork yoga mats - I never realized how amazing they actually could be, until I sweated profusely on them. Amazing.
