Love Yoga Venice

One of the best yoga studios on west side. Kyle Miller and Sally Smith’s Katonah yoga will bring your perspective on alignment to a whole new level. I prefer this place than any studio in SF, where I now live. The design of this studio is also lovable and many teachers have big instagram following

This is the best yoga studio I have been to in California since moving here 8 years ago. The instructors are all incredible and offer unique, challenging flows (not the usual 'sun salutation, on auto-pilot' boringness). Highly recommend.

Lovely yoga studio! Check it out and treat yourself or a loved one to a cool yoga class! Highly recommend it!

This is my favorite yoga studio in Los Angeles. The teachers are all excellent and their knowledge of alignment and keeping students safe is top-notch! Classes are an hour long, perfect for my busy schedule. The space itself is beautiful, peaceful, and inviting - a cozy sanctuary for anyone looking to escape the craziness of the city!

This is my favourite studio in LA and I've tried many! The teachers are extremely attentive and caring, providing excellent adjustments and intelligent pacing and instruction. Sian's class in particular is thoughtful and inspiring. I always leave feeling stronger and wiser.

I just had a lovely session with Saher. I highly recommend it!

This is my favorite yoga studio in LA. Each class is a great stretch and no matter the day I'm having I leave with a new outlook on life and radiate positivity. Each instructor has their own spin and I recommend trying them all!

Just took my first class at Love this summer. The studio itself is so beautiful, and the instructor,Sian, was very hands on, going to each student to correct postures and ensure no one did anything incorrect to get hurt...some of the poses were difficult for me, and she noticed right away, and came over to make sure I was in correct alignment. I LOVE this place.. Love the energy

Such amazing teachers. Every. single. class is A+. It's my new happy place :) The cues and sequencing articulated by each teacher, the music, and vibe of the space is all wonderful!

Hands down the best yoga studio. WORLD CLASS!!!!!! Thank you to all the instructors and the instructors in training. Truly grateful to all of you. Ty. Sonu

All the teachers here offer such a unique practice. Couldn't be more in love with this studio!

This is one of the best yoga studios I've been to after 3 years of practice. Wonderful, clean space with super tenured teachers. There's a wide variety in types of practice offered by instructors - but I love that they each have a particular style. I've learned a ton in just a couple of weeks here. Wish I didn't have to move out of the area!!

This yoga studio is my favorite! Best vibes in a beautiful space. Lovely color scheme, positive atmosphere with great natural light. Friendly, supportive instructors and fellow yogis. It's not my most conveniently located yoga studio, but it's worth driving a little out of my way for. Parking is super easy, which is also a bonus!

I woke up and something in me told me to go to love yoga and I am so grateful :) Kumis class was magical. Her emphasis on breathwork within the flow and her overall energy left me with a lightness that I haven't found at any other studios. I love the simplicity and brightness of the studio and the fact that there are no mirrors really allows you to tap deeply into your own practice. I love this studio

Danielle Karuna is my favorite thing about Love yoga. Full stop. We don't get there often enough, but my husband and I always feel deeply supported as we move through her beautifully orchestrated sequences. Her breadth of knowledge spans many modalities and is rooted in authentic spiritual practice. She will tap into deep truths with a gentleness that allows you to hear them. And at the core of it all, is love. Gift yourself a love yoga class with Danielle and see for yourself how she uniquely supports your healing and thriving.

It's such a gem of a studio. I signed up for the intro special. Great space and good classes, especially the Tuesday evening Love & Flow Nidra with Alex Nashton. You'll sleep like a baby after this session. My reason for 4 stars is that I've called multiple times and there is no way to reach a person. The number on the website takes you to a disconnected number. The number on their Yelp site takes you to a Google number with a pre-recorded message. I wish there was a way to get through to a person for customer support. This might not be a big deal to some people, but it's inconvenient. Other than the above note, I would recommend Love Yoga!

Really like this place! I took a "Love Yoga" class on a rainy Saturday evening partially because it looked interesting, and partially because it was one of the few studios in the area that had a Saturday evening class and I wanted to do yoga that day but wasn't free until after 4. I read the website and all of the accompanying links and didn't really know what to expect, but all of the reviews sounded positive so I thought I would check it out. The teacher that day would be Alex, who was subbing for Erin. Anyway, I ended up really liking it! As someone who has taken yoga at a lot of different studios, I will say that the focus here is less about movement and strength and more about internal focus and body control. I was a little worried that the "Love Yoga" class would not be enough of a workout, but rest assured, I still worked up a good sweat and felt a workout, though it wasn't as physically demanding as most flow classes. Alex was absolutely amazing. She handled the classroom check in herself, and not only did she have a bright and cheery aura that was highly contagious, but she was masterful at giving a non-stop dialogue throughout the whole class that really focused on being present and aware of every aspect of your mind and body. She went in depth on things such as proper alignment, small adjustments to make, and where to focus on. For example, a lot of yoga teachers will mention to "soften your face" during a difficult pose, but Alex mentioned trying to relax the movement of your eyes during a time when we had our eyes closed. After she mentioned that I realized that I in fact had been subconsciously moving my eyes around, but would have never noticed or thought about it. In pretty much every pose she would point out these little things to be aware of, whether it being which way your feet are pressing on the mat, or how your hip is angled. I enjoyed it and ended up coming back on Tuesday for the flow x nidra class. Even though it was technically a flow class, the focus was again less on lots of movement and more on proper movements and internal body control. The Nidra was also super cool, it's basically a guided meditation. The best way I would describe it is a massage for your mind. The website mentions that half an hour of nidra is equal to 4 hours of sleep, which sounds like a pretty big stretch to me, but it was enjoyable. Overall, I definitely think this is a great place to check out if you appreciate and are open to dialogue from the teacher. If you want more of a workout focused class than this might not be the place for you. My only complaint is that there's a super bright light right outside the window and one of the windows doesn't have a shade, so if you're by the window and lying down the light shines right in your eye. I ended up by the window both nights. The first class I took I noticed it but didn't think about it it as much because we weren't on our backs as long, but during the nidra session of the Tuesday night class I took the light was shining on my face the whole nidra.

Came here for an event hosted by Lead Like Her for the Up Global Charity. --LOCATION-- It's in a small plaza on the corner of Lincoln and Brooks Ave. You should be able to see the sign (black letters "LOVE") and the white building. --PARKING-- Very limited parking lot; I parked on the street. Be careful of the signs and days/times you aren't allowed to park there. --STUDIO-- It's a quaint studio with sea foam green painted floors (soo cute) and floor to ceiling windows on one wall. + one bathroom w/ hair ties and tampons + changing room + exposed wall cubbies for your belongings (no locker) + light weights + yoga blocks + extra mats + mat spritzers to spray and freshen up your mat --YOGA CLASS-- fits about 30 people, but you may end up close to your neighbors. I really enjoyed my yoga session. My instructor was from Minnesota, so she wasn't a regular instructor. I really liked the overall ambiance Love Yoga provided. The minimal decor and subtle tones gives a soothing effect to the class. --OVERALL-- I thought it was a lovely studio. I think space-wise, they should limit their capacity. Also, they did run out of weights for the last few people who arrived.

Love Yoga is a great yoga studio on the Westside. The ladies are kind, warm, and welcoming. The classes are not your standard yoga class but instead carry their own flare and character. Grateful for this studio, good for everyone!

I've been wanting to try this studio out for months after coming across their ig feed and finally took one of their yoga flow classes this morning. My instructor Rebecca was really great - the flow was well paced and she gave good instruction. The space is super cute but I don't know, something about it feels very unfinished - i.e. the paint on the floor chipped off and little paint flakes were all over my mat by the end of class, there were several ants all over the place, etc. This is a totally decent yoga studio but it won't be my westside standby, unfortunately. Good for a good stretch but not for a super athletic vinyasa.

We went to an AMAZING very special workshop there on Sunday August 15th called "Guided Lucid Dreaming". We met several kind and bright souls who were also attending. We will definitely be back when that happens again! Thank you for this unreal, very unique and profound experience:)))))

I loved this studio, the parking lot had 10 spots, easy parking if you are early enough. The cross street is the Flowerboy Project-my fav coffee spot. The studio is very lovely, white walls and green/turquoise floor. The contrast was easy on the eyes and very bright. A lots of plants around the studio. The bathroom was clean, mats and blocks were on the side wall and well organized. The class was an easy flow and the instructor was great. Will return, loved the space.

I highly recommend you take a class with Tiffany. She's an incredibly gifted instructor. I have taken two of her classes, and I can't stress enough what an amazing experience it has been. She is so patient, and teaches with purpose and intent. She guides her students in a way that's meaningful, and listens to the needs of her students.

Quite the groovy spot! The floors and walls are painted turquoise! There's some nice light coming in from the windows that really make the whole room bright. I attended a great class during the day. I'm sure it's more subdued at night. The floors are a little dirty and could use a new coat of paint. Maybe something darker so you don't notice every scratch and scuff. The studio is complete with props, restroom with a couple vanity items (hair ties and tampons) and a good energy. I was happy to see this place open up as years ago it used to be a porn shop! Talk about evolution!

So grateful for this studio. I usually take evening classes during the week so my go-to teachers are Jana, Alex and Danielle. Jana is all about astrology and who doesn't love that shit. She's always makes her class smile whenever we hold uncomfortable poses. Her laugh is so contagious. I love it! Alex will always make sure your form is spot on and that sometimes means holding poses longer than you want to. She kicks my butt every time. She also has the most soothing voice of any human I've met! Lol Danielle is a full fledge healer! She's always adjusting her students with care and at the end of every class she gives the best neck massage of life. I also always seem to learn a new pose in her class that I find myself practicing weeks after. All the other teachers I've experienced at the Venice location are incredible! I would 100% recommend this spot to all my Westside friends.

**Note: This is for Love Yoga East Side which newly opened!** I love this studio and this style of yoga!! So far I've been to two classes there with Emma Goldman and she is absolutely DIVINE. She gives the perfect balance of creating heat in the body and energizing, while also centering, grounding, and calming. She gives great metaphors for us to imagine while we are in certain poses which really helps me to meditate and get out of my own cerebral head during the practice. Emma's hands on adjustments are so perfect!! Her poses really helped with my back pain too!! I liked that I did poses that I had never done before that twisted my body in just the right way to release stress and relieve pain. Her music is also AMAZING and timed perfectly with the phase of the class we are in. Basically she is THE BOMB, and this style of yoga (Katonah) is very very luxurious and lovely. The studio itself is a very nice environment too! With beautiful turquoise painted wood floors, beautiful wall paintings (including a snake!), great natural sunlight, nice high ceilings and open feel to it. They have props available for everyone, and you just feel like you're being taken care of there.

I love lamp. I love Love. Yoga. ... but seriously, this place is a gem. Spent the last 5-6 years going to a nearby spot that would always leave me sweaty and feeling like a got a tough workout. I'm no longer seeking that in yoga. At Love, I leave feeling stretched out and at peace.

I went into Love with a three class intro pack and ended up upgrading to an unlimited monthly membership after my very first class. The studio is very chill and the teachers are all very engaging. They're also quietly funny and don't take themselves too seriously.

I absolutely ADORE love yoga. In particular, I really love Kyle, Emma, and Hannah's classes-- though I haven't taken most of the other instructors. As corny as it sounds, I nearly always leave love yoga feeling safe, loved, and taken care of. This is even so when the classes are more challenging. Teachers offer hands on adjustments and creative new flows each class. Weird postures, cool breath practices, nonpretentious, good guidance incl. nice imaginative guided meditations, a playful attitude, and they leave room for your to flex your own creativity in poses and in mindset. I'm so happy a studio like this exists in Venice. Thank you for creating such a loving space! A couple more tidbits: daytime classes are filled with great, bright light from the windows. Nighttime classes are also wonderfully lit up by the traffic on Lincoln-- the opaque windows awaken with red, orange, white, blue lights of passing cars. Occasionally it gets noisy on Lincoln with cars honking and police sirens wailing; however, I actually really love this. It always makes me feel like I'm in New York, or, just reminds me how lucky I am to be pausing in the middle of this crazy world to slow down and tune into myself. Great for remembering gratitude.

The first yoga studio that I truly loved in Los Angeles! From the minuet you walk in the vibe of the studio is simply great. The space is a calming blue color and has no mirrors. The instructors are extremely nice and helpful without being intimidating. This is truly a yoga space that allows you to feed the mind body and spirit.

Not sure why this place is getting such rave reviews. I've been doing yoga for years around the world, and this is one of the worst studios I've been to. The place itself feels like a garage; right on a busy street, small and with the bathroom right inside the studio (people literally get up and use the bathroom IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS, so you get to hear all their business!). I tried two classes: The first was with Kyle, one of the owners. It was not a bad class, but definitely not an inspiring one. She sang throughout the class, cursed, joked and tickled (!) her favorite students, and adjusted so harshly that I thought she'd pull my arm out. The second class with Victoria was one of the most terrible classes I've taken in my life. She came in with her dog, gets him one of the (people) blankets to sit on facing the class, without asking anyone if they have allergies or whatever. Her attitude was nonchalant at best, literally sitting cross-legged for the first half of class giving directions. She looked so bored and uninterested, missed tons of cues and messed up the sequence so many times. I find it unacceptable that teachers with no desire to inspire and motivate students are allowed to teach yoga. I wasted time and money to take these two classes at this terrible studio, and I'm so sad to see how the people going there think this is what yoga is. What a shame that this studio exists and people are not able to see through the bullshit. And to call it "Love Yoga" is a complete joke.

Love this studio! Great instructors and great setting. Danielle is my favorite. Its clean and nicely lit inside, surprisingly quiet for being on Lincoln.

I want to love Love Yoga but I just like it. I've taken so many classes and all the instructors are great. The classes are on the easy side which sometimes is just right when you want a more mellow practice. I wouldn't recommend the restorative classes since the sound of Lincoln is incredibly distracting. But the thing that irks me the most though is the floors aren't cleaned between classes. I've had tumble weeds of hair roll onto my mat a few times and it just sours the whole experience.

I came here with a friend the other day. It was hosted by Lead Like Her for the Up Global Charity and boy was it fun! The space was very calming and decorated very well. It was clean and kept quite cool despite the warm weather at the time. It's a little on the smaller size and fits about 20-30 people, but a very nice and intimate atmosphere. Parking was a little difficult to find but manageable when you start looking around the residential area. So try to get there early if you can so the walk isn't too far!

Visiting from Bay Area this week and took a 9:30am Wednesday morning class. It was one of the best all around yoga classes I've taken in a while. Threading breath work, kundalini moves, mindful vinyasa and yoga nidra in one was nirvana for me ~ ending savasana to the backdrop of ocean waves! Can't wait to go back

A wonderful and positive yoga studio. I am grateful for each class I take with each teacher- All are very informative and compassionate woman. When I leave love yoga I feeling positive, refreshed and spiritually fulfilled.

I've taken the signature Love Yoga class at noon a couple of times and it's everything that they describe on their website. There's some parking right in front of the studio and plenty more on the street. The space is bright with plenty of natural light and the mats and towels are complementary which isn't always the case at yoga studios. The pumping and breathing exercises were also a nice bonus to get energy moving. Overall I'd recommend this studio and I plan on taking other classes they have.

I love Love! A clean, well-lit studio with a friendly, community-focused vibe. So many vibes, and they are all good ones! The teachers are all so incredibly knowledgable and create dynamic, thoughtful classes.

OBSESSED WITH THIS STUDIO- It is everything! Such good vibes and the teachers really know what they are doing. It is my happy place. Super chill mixed in with challenging moments. They provide mats and parking is easy too!

My favorite studio in LA! The space is beautiful and the yoga is refreshingly unique compared to the power/hot yoga studios that are so prominent in the city. Kyle and Sian, the owners, are amazing teachers that have such a wealth of knowledge to offer. Not only are their classes the BEST, they are super cool and down to earth. This is place is an absolute gem! Expect lots of adjustments in a chill, bright space.

I started practicing yoga about a year ago, went to a few different studios in LA, and ultimately landed here at Love. The teachers are all fantastic, knowledgeable, unique, and give great cues and adjustments. I notice something new in my practice each time I go to the studio. I find the yoga here imaginative, thought provoking, and physically challenging. The studio is always clean, has a great aesthetic, and provides mats and props at no additional charge. One of my favorite places to be in LA! A true gem!

Love is an amazing studio! It is definitely the best I've gone to in LA, and an awesome start (or end) to a Saturday beach day. Really relaxed atmosphere and incredible teachers - I highly recommend it.

Love yoga is my new favorite place to go - to center myself and stretch out my body and my spirit too. Everything is nice, clean, all instructors are deeply knowledgable and the schedule also caters to people who like to do yoga in the afternoon (me!!) , 4pm class rocks. Thank you, Loves, for creating this special space.

This is my favorite yoga studio in LA. Each class is a great stretch and no matter the day I'm having I leave with a new outlook on life and radiate positivity. Each instructor has their own spin and I recommend trying them all!

It's a different kind of yoga studio. It's less workout and more a spirit massage. They have creative flow sequences and encourage some internal self care. It's a nice way to move your practice deeper.

favorite yoga spot in la. Kyle is my favorite teacher. Sad that she doesn't teach east side as much these days but I'm willing to drive to Venice for her.

How am I the first person to review Love Yoga?? This place is amazing. Great location on Lincoln in Venice, very friendly and welcoming vibe, full schedule. I love Jana Roemer and Hannah Dawe's classes. Jana also does an amazing new moon circle every month, which I highly recommend for women. She has the sweetest, most positive energy! Her Yoga Nidra classes are also great (meditation). I've also taken Daralina's hip hop class, which is really fun and all about embracing feminine energy :) They also host sound baths. The parking lot has 10 spots and there's also plenty of street parking. Come support this studio!

Love is not only the name of the studio. I feel i've learnt so much in so little: and im not only talking about the poses and the breathing. How can i write a nice review for my fav yoga place when all i can think about is the joy it brought to my life and how im not able to put it into words. Love. The place smells great, it's clean and there's a sense of freshness that makes my practice so good i want to hug them all. ( and this is weird but the bathroom is like a tiny paradise ). Im moving inn2 weeks and i'm missing you already. I wish you open a Love Studio in Maui soon ‍‍

I did yoga for years back when yoga works on main street opened and then I just got burnt out and was tired of the same teachers the same lingo the same positions. Love yoga opened right up from my house and I said, I'd be silly not to try it. Well I've been going now for several months and my love of yoga has been restored. Kyle is MY FAVORITE. She's funny, casual, helpful, and makes it all so fun. Katonah yoga is this great spin on yoga that has a deep root in sacred geometry so it's not anything you are going to be doing at Yoga works or the usual stuff. There are so many classes to choose from and teachers to learn from. And it's incredibly affordable.

Great instructor, but there were seriously 40+ people in the class. I was expecting a much smaller group. Relatively small studio leaving very little personal space when the class is packed. Recommend that they reduce the class sizes if they are charging a premium for each class.

I just started coming to this studio and so far all the teachers have been great and I leave feeling recharged, relaxed and aligned. I highly recommend this yoga studio and they welcome all levels

Love this place! Everyone is extremely welcoming and real. The studio has that local Venice feel and I really enjoyed the class. Everything felt clean and bright. Parking was simple. I can't wait to come back!

Kyle, Sian and Jeff are the best! I'd recommend anyone to Love Yoga as you couldn't find more personable and talented people to depend on for anything yoga! Their website is very clear and easy to find any information needed. This one stop shop is a MUST for any yoga lover in LA. :)

The best yoga I've come across in LA! A very relaxed studio with a great vibe, and teachers who really care about your alignment, technique, and breathing. It's also a great workout, with a range of classes for every skill level. I always walk out of Love feeling amazing, would highly recommend!

Took my first class last night and loved it! The class was Love Flow at 6 pm with, I believe her name was Mindy? (I hope I'm not getting that wrong). Perfect combination of stretching, a bit of sweating/challenge and the spiritual and emotional cleanse that some instructors are able to provide with their soft, soothing words. It was a unique class and I will definitely be back!

You can't help but LOVE Love Yoga. The teachers are imaginative and inspiring. The classes all share some core - and unusual elements - but every teacher brings his or her own interpretation so it always feels fresh. The space is lovely and the people all welcoming. It's a fantastic escape from Venice, in the heart of Venice. Sian and Kyle have made not just a great Yoga studio but a great community.

hi. i am not a big yelper BUT i am a huge fan of this special yoga studio. i love all the teachers and always leave each class with a special and unique experience. Plus today, I practiced KATONAH yoga for the first time and just loved it! thanks love yoga
