I have taken classes, completed two Teacher Trainings and feel like I have just begun a wonderful journey! I was a runner, took many yoga classes but did not practice yoga. The wisdom Colleen, Rodney and the Yoga Shanti team give to their students is invaluable, especially during this time. My daughter abs son have also taken the Teacher trainings. My husband is now joining me in classes. Our daughter lives in Santa Monica and we can take class with her on zoom. No other yoga class has been close! Try a class and see???

Hands down the best yoga studio ever. Rodney and Colleen are masters of the practice and it's a privilege to be able to practice here. I always leave feeling stronger, de-stressed and a bit wiser about how to think about things. Meaning, they incorporate philosophies into the practice, so the mind gets a workout with the body, but in a good way. The studio is clean and calming. Reception is always so friendly. I've taken many classes with the other instructors and they are all excellent too.
August 2019
I started practicing yoga around 1991. I had the good fortune of one of my moms friends giving me a copy of light on yoga by iyengar. I soaked it up. And how blessed am i to live in this small town where master teachers have set up a beautiful little studio with a golden ceiling. I read all the other yelp reviews, some snarky and negative about how there is an "inner circle" and so on and so forth. If you feel that way, I ask you to go humbly and practice. The love and joy of yoga is there at yoga shanti waiting for you - but maybe it won't all be handed to you on day one on a silver platter.
