Yoga!

Hi everyone! So I love yoga. I've practiced yoga with my mom for a while, I've taken classes through the WAC dept with Kishan, and I've taken various classes around LA. However, yoga can be pretty pricey and finding a great teacher and a nice studio is tricky. Recently my friend and I found a lovely studio right on 3rd street in Santa Monica (just a 15 min bus ride!) Its called Yoga Co, Santa Monica. It's a donation based studio and as their website states, "What you donate is personal and private. We don’t want you to stop practicing yoga for financial reasons... In the yogic sense of karma, as we are giving to you a gift, it is our hope that you will give back." This is a great philosophy and a great way to get the yoga experience on a budget. Best of all the studio is super beautifully decorated, very clean, environmentally friendly, and light. I am recommending this studio because I think if everyone practiced yoga the world would be a better place! The meditative and breathing aspect of yoga is extremely calming and cleansing. The physical aspect is great too because you get a good workout which is good for your body. The physical and mental aspects of yoga combined create a sense of positivity and awareness of the world that is hard to get anywhere else. I really encourage anyone who is interested in yoga to take a class at yoga co! Its very close to UCLA, very reasonably priced, and it will make your mind and body feel better and more nourished.

Here is the information:

Yoga Co, Santa Monica Yoga, Power Yoga Studio -

About Yoga Co: YogaCo is Santa Monica's largest yoga studio with three unique rooms offering up to 25 classes daily...We believe in a collective community consciousness and welcome all yogis from all walks of life. OUR CLASSES ARE RUN ON A DONATION BASED SYSTEM

**Also its a "green and clean" environment!

- We strive to keep our air as clean and healthy as possible to add to your yoga experience. We do this by placing Hepa-filters throughout the studio, which filter 100% of the existing air 2 to 5 times per hour. We also have oxygen-producing plants, (featured on an environmentally approved list of a small handful of plants which are proven to rid the environment of Benzene, Formaldyhyde, and TCE), all which help to enhance and produce additional fresh air for every breath we take.

- To help preserve and protect our environment, we have placed recycle bins throughout our studio and also use waterless urinals - which can conserve up to 40,000 gallons of water a year, and low-flow toilets (please use respectfully :). We have used quadruple-paned windows to also help mitigate the loss of heat and air for maximum energy efficiency.

- We are big on Bamboo (a highly renewable resource) and have used it for all of our flooring and also used it to custom build our shoe cubbies, bathroom partitions, benches and office furniture.
