yogazan — Local services in Santa Monica

i initially came across this yoga studio from classpass, and tried it out simply because it was in my neighborhood. i quickly realized how much i loved the diverse instructors as well as the type of people who practice here.

everything i've learned from yoga i have learned from jay and his fellow yoga instructors. i was a complete beginner, but they never made me feel inadequate. their corrections are always gentle and effective, with plenty of alt suggestions. the studio has always felt like a soft hug, even in its new location. i liked that it didn't feel intimidating, that it's all age friendly, and that the price point is far more accessible than other franchises.

eventually i let my classpass membership go and joined yogazan studio full time. highly recommend classes from the owner, jay, as well as shirley and diane.

It was my introduction to yoga, and it ignited a passion for the practice within me. The pandemic forced them to close for a bit, however, they returned even stronger at a new location.

The teachers at Yogazan are all wonderful and experienced, contributing to the welcoming atmosphere of the studio. I highly recommend Yogazan to anyone seeking a supportive and enriching...
