People's Yoga in Monterey Park (near ELAC) exceeds my wildest dreams. This single studio with wooden-floors and plants is homey and yet located on the second floor of a plaza and across from the metro station (Atlantic stop). It's truly a delight - not to mention the one and only Latina-owned yoga studio is the area (if not LA?). My favorite class is "Body Soft" on Thursday nights at 7pm with Diane. This class is for those that want to ease into yoga (a.k.a. Beginners) or those who need to chill from a long work week. But...please don't meditate into sleep. Yes, rarely does snorting ensue. On-site parking is available and the studio provides all the equipment and even water, just bring your own water bottle. Pre-registration is recommended as the studio only accommodates so many people. If the single class price is steep for your budget, check out their packages as they offer a built-in discount. Also, first timers can try out a monthly on a discount. For the yogis or yogis in training, you may be interested in their training program. Personally, I'm not a fan of virtual movement classes because I prefer to be in-person, but for those on a shoe string budget that may an option. Either way, I LOVE People's Yoga! Shout out to Leah and Lauren, co-founders, Latina mama business owners, and yoga instructors. Their dream to open this brick and mortar became a reality years ago and has been going strong for years.

The staff here have been very professional in providing instruction that meets my specific needs, and to supplement physical therapy. I have the highest praise for Laurel Negrych who has been my private instructor. Her ability to listen to my concerns and then watch my movements to help me strengthen weak muscles and relax tight muscles has been amazing. Her diligence has helped be ready to keep up with my first grandchild. Thank you Laurel and Balanced Energy Studio.

Instructor Guan made the experience feel much more approachable. She did a great job explaining how everything worked, demonstrating proper form, and guiding the class through each movement clearly and patiently. She also made helpful adjustments when needed and encouraged people when they were on the right track, which made the class feel supportive without any pressure or judgment. By the end of class, my uneasiness had completely subsided and I felt great after the workout. Guan has a natural talent for creating a positive and welcoming environment, while still making the class challenging in a good way. I'd definitely recommend taking a class with her, especially if you're new to Lagree or nervous about trying it for the first time.

The…read moreinfamous "waiting list" seems never-ending, making the entire process feel like a waste of time and money. You're billed recurrently whether or not you actually get a spot, which feels more like a subscription to frustration rather than fitness. To make matters worse, the phone application they provide for booking in advance is a nightmare. Glitches, crashes, and errors make securing a session almost impossible. Instead of streamlining the experience, it adds layers of irritation to an already flawed system. Overall, this Pilates membership is a lesson in patience--but not the kind anyone signs up for. If you're looking for a smooth and reliable fitness experience, look elsewhere.

I am SO UPSET that I do not live in the area and can continue to come to this gym. They have ruined me. I cannot accept basic yoga classes anymore. Took advantage of their 7days for $7 trial. Loved it so much I went twice a day. Then I purchased a 10 class pack so I could exercise during the rest of my visit. It didn't matter the class type or the instructor, if I had time I was there. And didn't even care that I couldn't do half the moves, the staff and patrons are so welcoming, ya just wanna be there. Loved everything about this establishment; staff, amazing. Classes, fire. Parking, plentiful and free! The space is not large, but they maximize it in a way that doesn't feel over crowded. Downside is that there is no shower, but there are 6am classes, so plenty of time to get yourself home and off to work by 8am :) I look forward to returning when I am In the area.

I've been a long time member of Corepower so I've had my fair share of hot yoga, and it makes me appreciate the way that hot 8 operates - they have multiple types of classes - I tried Strength, Yin, Sculpt, and they're all fantastic. The membership feels so worth it because of the variety of classes and the multiple rooms/times available. I will definitely be returning. Shout out to the front desk staff - they helped me solve issues with my booking process (my fault) and were so kind/patient when exposing the different classes to me. Oh and shoutout to Allison Chiang - the Strength instructor. She brought the energy and spent time on form correction. So key! Finally - there's free parking with validation in the building! Makes it so easy to commit to the practice.

Nothing beats the intelligence of the Iyengar system, imho! I will say that Paul has a unique way of balancing his precise knowledge with a very spacious accommodation, which is TRULY the art of an engaged teacher. However, there are other instructors here (I won't name names) that unfortunately trigger my sympathetic nervous system with their tone, and overuse of the word "should." As much as I try to get past this, my breath and body just become tight, and I don't move as freely with overly managed instruction. Yoga House could be one of the last studios on the Eastside that uphold the integrity of a yogic learning environment. As a yogi of 25 years, and an instructor myself, I recommend the Iyengar classes to anyone working to heal injuries and those who want to deepen their practice. It's not a miracle, but a more serious approach to yoga can be transformative, on many levels.
