Yogaraj

No front desk, a humble, clean studio and yoga for just $10 (cash, check or square cash) at the door is a dream come true on the West side. It’s Santa Monica’s yoga gem for a legit and joyful place to practice. High caliber instructors, including owner/instructor Jay Co give their pricey counterparts a run for their money, with Vinyasa style flows in two rooms welcoming all levels to join in; one room features a floating branch set against a stone-like wall reinforcing its simple beauty. They also host workshops, including sound baths the first Friday of each month, where vibrational instruments like Himalayan singing bowls bathe participants in a healing experience. An adjacent structure makes for convenient parking for $2 with validation (free after 6pm and weekends).
