Ananda LA Yoga Class

Ananda Yoga
Los Angeles Ananda Yoga Classes at Ananda LA in Santa Monica


Ananda Yoga will expand your understanding and appreciation of yoga. Ours is a classical style, emphasizing the original essence of Yoga, resulting in the complete harmony of body, mind, and spirit. Ananda Yoga releases stress, relaxes the body, and helps redirect energy inward to expand and elevate consciousness.

Class sizes are limited to no more than fifteen students per class, making each feel more like your very own semi-private session—offered for the lowest prices in Santa Monica. Small class sizes ensure that you will receive an unparalleled level of personalized attention—in a caring, supportive, and safe environment.

Paul adjusts yoga asana

Each posture is paired with it’s own affirmation , designed to reinforce the asana’s natural effect on your state of consciousness, helping you to focus and uplift your mind as well as relax and rejuvenate your body. Our powerful, yet gentle, practice is suitable for all ages, body-types, and skill levels creating an unparalleled blend of spiritual upliftment and physical exhilaration.

Ananda Yoga is part of a larger system of Raja Yoga, which includes techniques of energization and meditation, including Kriya Yoga. For more information please visit the meditation pages.
