    The Zen refreshment area
    Mary B.

    This is a very long overdue review on Golden Monkey Healing. I believe I've been holding back, because it's already difficult to get an appointment with Matt. He's in demand! About 4 years ago, I was hobbling around with the worst case of plantars faciitis. I used to go to Equinox, and the amazing restorative yoga instructor Amber, referred me to see Matt. Her boyfriend was a patient and swore by him. I was a bit apprehensive because of the needles, but Matt communicated throughout the insertion of the needles. They were not painful at all. He put a infrared lamp on the affected area, and I napped away while he stepped out. A few days later, no more limping around. After that experience, I've been seeing Matt whenever I have physical ailments. I should've bought a package, because it's a great deal for follow up care. This time around, I came in to his new, tranquil location in Valley Village. Another big score for me--only minutes away from home. I have a bad case of carpal tunnel, it flares up every now and then. This week was the worst it's ever felt. I had a relaxing treatment, maintenance care advice, and how to strengthen my body in the future. Thank you, GMH! I'll definitely come back, not only during pain, but for re-set sessions for my body.

Immediately was greeted when I walked in. I signed up for the quiet Gong healing meditation. It was the day of the full moon and I needed a more calming vibe and I'm so glad I did. She told me what "supplies" we needed (we used two big heavy pillow things, two blankets, two blocks, and my own mat). I never knew yoga could utilize so many things but it was fun! We only did 4(ish) poses besides the warm up but the time flew by. And they felt so good and relaxing. The room was dark with fun lights. It was so pretty and so peaceful. Heather explained everything perfectly. And had some pretty great jokes. It was a really good, lighthearted, calm way to end my day. If I manage to get finances together, I'd love to do a membership here. Only con - parking is hard. Not much around there and no lot. But it's Noho. Just gotta prepare for that.

IT DOESN"T MATTER IF IT'S DISABLED!!!!! IT SHOULD NOT BE STORED ON YOUR WEBSITE AGAINST MY WILL -- PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally after writing them repeatedly they removed my bank card information. This is after them telling me numerous times I could remove it myself. THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO REMOVE IT MYSELF. THAT IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my $35 back.

Walked in today after few years of not being there and took a morning class with one of their teachers. She was very nice, kind, pleasant and knew her job well.

Class lasted for 55 minutes. Class was not too difficult, and they go with the right pace to accommodate with beginners, and people who have been doing yoga for some time now. I really enjoyed the class and looking forward to going back. They have different prices for different classes and membership. For those who are interested. They also offer an online classes. Check the schedule. Place is clean, it's not too small, and can fit 14 to 17 people. Parking is in the back and that's all I have to say about today's visit. Namaste :-)

This studio has been a steady part of my life through so many different versions of me. Showing up, being on time, staying present, and getting through class is the real challenge not so much the heat lol. What makes this place special though is the people. Liz, the owner, is genuinely so cool, and all of the teachers are great too. I'm a pretty quiet person and usually kind of in my own world, but they've always been kind and respectful and never made me feel awkward or out of place. They don't force anything, kinda meet people where they're at. Besides all that the studio itself is always super clean, which makes a big difference. And the disco balls on the ceiling always make me laugh, it gives the space personality. You can also tell they care about their students and space because they're always coming up with new ideas, classes, and ways to keep things interesting. Just check it out

Teachers like Ebbon, Kim, Reyna and Liz are great teachers, self deprecating and funny. Each teacher offer such a different dynamic including a recovery class for Fascia with Reyna that has been helpful for my injuries. At Stretch I started consistently attending in January and recently got to enjoy my first class with the owner Liz who is very professional, she knows her stuff and truly is present, observes her classes /observes her students , I respect how she see's everything and everyone in the room and is sure to tell you to correct your forms (so you get the very most from the pose for your class and are doing each correction and correctly) . I also really appreciate how she made sure everyone could see themself in the mirror - esp since I usually go to the back I often cant see myself in the mirror -most classes are quite full - Liz made certain people adjusted their positions so everyone could see themself, I love that ! And she demo's with more seasoned students /teachers poses visually that help myself and newer students. Liz also tell's stories in between poses that moves the classes along very swiftly., she is self deprecating and funny, Thanks Stretch , love that you are in Burbank , Appreciate you !

I've tried a mix of classes and services -- from challenging Pilates to deeply relaxing yin sessions and sound baths -- and each one offers something a little different depending on what I need that day. I also love that the infrared sauna sessions are set up in your own private room, which makes the experience feel even more relaxing and personal. They also do a great job of creating a sense of community. From time to time, they host special weekend events with thoughtful touches like goodie bags and guest sponsors, which makes you feel really valued as a member. I've even joined one of their group hikes, which was such a fun way to connect outside the studio. They've also brought in guest instructors for things like dance and Zumba-style classes, which keeps things fresh and interesting. What really keeps me coming back is the overall experience. The space is always clean, calm, and beautifully maintained, and I love how easy it is to just show up -- mats, towels, and props are all provided. Parking in the back is also a huge plus, especially for LA. I've found myself telling friends about it and inviting them as my guests, which says a lot. It genuinely feels like a little wellness sanctuary, and I'm really glad I found this place.

    My experience with Artha ended very poorly after several years of association with the facility…read more I received numerous promotional messages encouraging trial visits, so I attended both the West LA and Studio City locations to determine which classes and schedule worked best before committing to a long-term membership. This is a normal step for anyone evaluating a fitness or wellness membership. Later, management accused me of violating their policies simply for attending both locations and permanently revoked my access. The explanation provided was inconsistent with the promotional outreach they themselves sent encouraging trial participation. The situation escalated further when I accompanied a referred guest using a guest pass that had been given to me by another member. Instead of handling the matter professionally or discussing it in good faith, "Miguel" imposed a permanent ban and stated he would not correspond further. The lack of flexibility, unwillingness to review context, and overall tone from management was disappointing for a business that markets itself as a community-oriented wellness space. Potential members should carefully review all policies and be aware that enforcement may be strict and final regardless of circumstances.

A drop-in was $25, a healthy rate for which I would have expected nicer facilities and better instruction. - I bought a Kombucha at the end for $6. Kombucha is expensive but $6 is gouging your customers. Also, I know that this is personal preference, but this was the hottest yoga room I have ever been in, out of hundreds of Bikram classes I have done. I had to struggle to remain conscious. They should invest in a good standalone thermostat.
