This is a great yoga studio. I've appreciated the instructors and how friendly the staff are. I highly recommend Zach's Monday night Vinyasa class. It's a treat! read more

I left Linda's class transformed. While talking us through the poses and transitions, never too often, she allowed me to honor the moment, my being a little broken that night, and pieced me back together with cues and subtle adjustments rooted in her strength, sense of humor, wisdom, and grace. The gentle lighting and music with a lot of heart were icing on the cake. For days, I felt more hopeful, grounded, and physically connected. It was an amazing class. Thank you, Linda!! read more

I have been going to this studio for many years. Great studio with classes ranging from beginner to advanced. I have tried the corporate studios but I always come back to this one because length of the classes (from 90 minutes to an hour and a half) allow a full and unhurried experience. Linda is a great teacher. I also like Alex, and she usually throws in a little bit of reiki at the end. Abby is also good and is offering a class on Friday with yoga nidra at the end. If you really want a challenge, try Betty's class. read more

First time we went to yoga class and we're grateful it was this studio. What an experience.. My wife and I went for couples yoga night on our anniversary. It was truly unforgettable evening. Auna & Gill are incredibly beautiful humans inside and out. They made us (and all other couples) welcome from the moment we stepped inside. We laughed hard, we felt relaxed, connected, grounded. It was just pure, it was beautiful. Whole Environment and Energy in the class was incredible.. And sound bath by Auna's daughter (I forgot the name, but I will never forget her performance) was just last piece of heaven we need that evening. Thank you for having us. read more

For eight years, Inner Power Yoga (IPY) has been more than just a studio; it's my second home. As a working mom with two teen girls, aging parents, and a real-estate business, life is a balancing act, but yoga has been my anchor to help me stay grounded. It's my daily reset--a positive addiction that allows me to de-stress, find clarity, and release the emotional tension that comes with juggling so many roles. My experience at IPY had such a profound impact on my life that I decided to take the next step and become a teacher. The 200-hour training was an incredible journey. I had no idea about the rich history and philosophy of yoga, and it was fascinating to learn. The teachers were so experienced and supportive, and the entire training including anatomy lessons felt immersive and joyful. In a world where so many studios have turned yoga into a purely physical workout, Inner Power Yoga remains authentic and true to the heart of the practice. They provide an incredible service to the San Fernando Valley community. I can't imagine having done this training anywhere else, and I can't recommend this studio enough. If you're looking for a practice that will not only challenge your body but also calm your mind and lift your spirit, this is the place to be. read more

My first class took two years of Sciatica pain away completely. This was one of the best discoveries I have made. The teachers and owner are beautiful, loving, experts. I cannot say enough good things about them. read more

I love this new studio! Ever since they moved from their first studio on Valmar 20 some years ago, I lost track of them. I'm so glad they have located here! The studios are spacious and beautiful. The retail area is full of cool clothes, beautiful crystals, and there's a bit of lounge around space to chat outside the studios: Today I took Intro to Meditation and Pranayama with Carmen Joy. Even though I didn't need an intro class, I wanted to check it out since I'm of the belief that there is always something to learn no matter how many years you've been practicing. I was right! I loved all the techniques she taught and I felt absolutely blissful when I left. Right after her class was Karen's Vinyasa flow class. It was also amazing and Karen is a joyful presence. The theme of her class, which is why I practice, SELF LOVE. There's something about going on a journey in a new class where you haven't figured out what to expect so it's super sweet. Lots of twisting and heart opening. Betty's power yoga class was a great journey as well. She's a great teacher who has many regular students but made it a point to find out who everyone was before class began. Great teachers here! I also took Daniella's mindful yoga flow class and it felt great, totally present and clear when I left the studio. Yoga here at Inner Power is the best way I know to honor my body, mind, and spirit! I'm so glad I found them again after all these years. read more

I was lucky enough to take Shayna's class while in town and was blown away by how amazing her class was. She's such a great teacher treating each student with kindness and encouragement. I HIGHLY recommend taking her class! read more

The owner, Linda, was at the front counter greeting us & chat with us individually. She is super friendly. She has been doing yoga for over 23 years, she is a pro!! It is a very small class today. Everyone gets attention in the class. Linda has a wonderful assistant in the class helping us if we have problems with the poses. Linda gives great instructions in the class. She is awesome! They also sell yoga clothing & other accessories. They have their own parking lot at the back of the store. If the lot is full, there are street metered parking in the front & back of the store too. read more

Love this studio so much that I am doing zoom classes from Sacramento. Moved up North 2 years ago, there is no other studio like Inner Power. The owner, teachers and students are all family truly. At 63 they have kept me in great shape! I think I have been talking classes for 20 years with Inner Power! read more

Inner Power Yoga Studio - Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Calabasas, California

This is an amazing studio with a wide variety of classes from Power Yoga, Yin, Restorative, Kundalini, and more. Some of the teachers come from the studio's own 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (Certified by Yoga Alliance) which instructs on the spiritual teachings of yoga, yoga therapy, and much more. It goes so much deeper than teaching poses and you can feel it in the vibe of the studio. Owner Linda Suffin is wonderful, and has a deep history with yoga and running studios. She and her teachers really make Inner Power Yoga feel like home. My new favorite yoga studio. read more

As a yoga newbie, I wanted to go someplace nearby and a place people raved about. Luckily, I also found a Groupon that allowed me to check out the place at a discount. Sadly, I was unable to use all my Groupon sessions in the requisite time, but I very much enjoyed my experience at Inner Power Yoga. The few classes I took were not crowded and everyone was very friendly. It seems like there's a crew of regulars, but they were inviting and the teachers always knew that I was new to the class and made me feel very welcomed. I had some difficulty finding the parking the first time I went. It is behind the studio in a small lot next to the Franklin's Hardware. The lot can get full pretty quickly. In the future when I have more time (winter break/summer break), I will probably purchase a package. It is nice that they also allow you to just walk in and pay for one class if you want. read more

Whitney Howard's Intro to Meditation is the highlight of my week. Each Sunday, Whitney introduces new meditations, along with their backstories. She also regales us with tales from her own meditation journey. She exudes so much warmth and knowledge. I could listen to her all day. The title of the class, "Whitney's Jewels and Tools" is not just a clever name. At the end of each session, Whitney gifts us with trinkets that she's designed herself. Not only are they beautiful; each one has a special meaning and purpose. Sunday mornings with Whitney have become a special time for me to decompress and prepare for the week ahead. read more

I attended a Sunday class with Tori, intro to yoga. I absolutely loved it! SUPER friendly, and helpful. She came across the room and adjusted me and others to make sure we were getting the most out of our experience. She was super helpful (being new to yoga) it was so helpful to have been guided through the poses and shown how to properly move into each pose. I will definitely make this my Sunday afternoon routine. Parking is in the back (not on Ventura) the studio is spacious, open and welcoming. read more

I love inner power! Alex is my absolute favorite. She advanced my poses within one class! She cares about each yogi and pays very close attention to each yogi. I highly recommend inner power yoga! I'm hooked! read more

I just moved into the area and I was highly recommended to Inner Power Yoga by a friend. I've been practicing yoga now on and off for 23 years, so I feel that know what I love and what doesn't work for my practice. I have gone six times and my favorite teachers have been Ish, Danijela, and the owner Linda. I particularly love the music that Ish plays. It sets the tone and helps create the perfect vibe. I particularly like that he mostly steers away from mainstream soft rock and pop music-- which I can respect this music, but not during a yoga class-- it's distracting and doesn't mesh with flow for me. In the class I took of his, he played global beats which is totally my vibe. I wish more yoga teachers would follow his suit. Yoga-tribal-house-global music with good beats and positive soothing vocals.... I love that all the teachers (so far) have an amazing presence, a solid foundation and knowing of yoga, while teaching creative and mindful vinyasa series. Overall, it's a great studio! Inner Power Yoga has a neighborhood, friendly feel and I'll continue to take classes from here . read more

I went to my first class this evening and it exceeded any expectations I had. This class was restorative yoga with Antje and it was so beautiful and, well, restorative. I feel lighter, longer, calmer and connected to my body. I'm excited to attend more classes! read more

Great teachers , great yoga , hours are good . Place is clean . I am going back ! I gave 4 stars because there's one teacher there that makes me very uncomfortable. read more

I've been calling Inner Power Yoga 'home' since It's beginning. I've watched and have often been a part of, the growth and change, decade after decade, while always keeping the same integrity, heart & soul. The warmth and pure love of yoga that owner Linda has poured into IPY, is evident with every class, with every 'teacher', with every offering. I can honestly say, I'm grateful to Inner Power Yoga for not only being a corner stone of the community, but for being a corner stone for my life. read more

I had been taking classes at Inner Power Yoga for awhile before Covid 19 started. Now I am taking classes via Zoom. I love the teachers here! They emphasize the meditative aspect of yoga, but they give a great workout too. I am looking forward to taking live classes once the pandemic is over. Great studio, highly recommend! read more

I dislike Yelp "proclamations of expertise" but find context very useful in parsing Yelp reviews, so let me contextualize me/my practice so YOU can contextualize this 5-star review. I do yoga most days, occasionally 2x/day. I prefer athletic, demanding teachers -- I'm coming out of inversions into chaturanga and handstand into eka pada bakasana (working on it!), stuff like that. Buuuuuuuuuut I also get tired of the impersonality and lack of "centered"-ness, for lack of a better word, of some of the chains that emphasize fitness in their practice, as fun as Yoga Sculpt and all that can be. So, I'm very grateful for the existence of studios like Inner Power. The teachers here whose classes I've clicked with are Linda and Jill. Linda runs a lovely "2/3" class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and an "All Levels" most other days that is also satisfying. It is less one of those classes where _she_ will push you or guide a flow or positions that are awfully hard; but she provides a solid and dynamic substrate of flow and the room (and friendly encouragement) for you to pursue your own practice, as long as you're in the flow and not being disruptive or whatever (of course). She has a nice stable of regulars and her class has that lovely sense of a community, together. Jill's class is a little less challenging, in itself, but she also leaves room for you to do what you like, and she moves through the flow with enough creativity and momentum that it's a satisfying ride. She also has a particularly nice vibe; a distinction of _both_ of these teachers, for me, is that the "yoga teacher stuff" that they say is _never_ risible nonsense (I, personally, often find the "yoga teacher stuff" that teachers say risible nonsense), and is in fact often calming/interesting/wise. They're good teachers, and I want to reiterate that these are both pretty dynamic classes with good movement and use of body: when I say they are "not so hard", I'm comparing them to a multi-year process of seeking out the most physically demanding classes in L.A. Linda and Jill both give good, dynamic, you-will-move-and-feel-satisfied classes. This is a lovely local studio. I'm glad it exists, and feel lucky to have it pretty close to my house. read more

I love this studio. As a yoga teacher, I really appreciate that it's not personality-centered. All teachers are encouraged to offer their unique voice. I've practiced with Linda (the studio owner), Wayne, Ish, Natalie, and Natasha. I feel like I'm in very skillful hands and learn something from each of them! Wayne is the teacher I most consistently practice with. His knowledge of anatomy - both western and yogic, his in depth understanding of Yoga in all its aspects -- way beyond just the yoga poses, and his life experience - make him a teacher's teacher. Every class is unique and intelligently designed. Your body-mind feels this. It's something you have to experience in order to know the difference. Wayne is a YOGA teacher with a holistic approach that doesn't fixate on asana alone. He has a great sense of humor and is often referred to as a bit irreverent - something I love about him. Wayne is one of the unsung heros in our yoga movement today. As more and more people doing acrobatics are in the lime light sometimes the truly gifted teachers can be overlooked. But they do their powerful work and grow organically as it should be. With Wayne, your sure to feel a touch of the ancient coming through. That's one of the great treasures of practicing with him. I highly recommend Inner Power and assume if the 5 teachers I experienced are good teachers, then all of them have something special to offer. read more

My favorite yoga studio I have ever been to California!! They understand the true essence of yoga and every teacher radiates their love and passion onto their students! read more

This place is good for beginners! I haven't done yoga for very long and I came here a few times and it was pleasant every time. The first time I tried this place, we were actually a few minutes late but the instructor was nice enough to let the 3 of us join. The class was in the small room. This room can get pretty cramped but overall it was ok. The instructor didn't do anything too complicated and the hour went by pretty quickly. Another time, the class was in the large room which was much more spacious and comfortable. The instructor turned on the heat though so it was semi - hot yoga but I didn't realize it and I was borrowing one of their mats since I forgot mine and I got sweaty and couldn't get a good grip on my mat! So... Try and bring your own! Overall nice place. They sell some merchandise too but not a lot. read more

This review is for my first time at the studio for a 7:45-9:00pm Wednesday evening Hatha class with Will, level 1 & 2. My first time looking for the studio, didn't read anything about the entrance/parking being located in the back. Just about walked in through the "back" door, which was wide open to the sidewalk, when I was promptly stopped and told to go around to the "entrance" by what I assumed was a level 2 yogini. Okay.. Lets find this back... Err front entrance. I walked to the end of the block and around the gas station and was told by the attendant there was more dark alley walking and I should probably take my car. It was cold. Thanks for the deterrent. Back to the front! I was greeted by Will the instructor for the evening. There were two other ladies already on their mats. I was the second newbie to the studio. I put my stuff away in the cubbies and signed in. Poor girl in the front looked either really tired, sick, or stoned. Couldn't blame her considering the drastic weather change. First impression upon entering the studio: ---smelly, sweaty, moist. -fully stocked with blankets, blocks, straps, towels, and even extra mats! The class itself was exactly what I needed. Plenty of instruction, attention to detail, visualization, points of alignment, adjustments. I didn't feel rushed to get anywhere or do anything crazy (even though the level 2 chick was doing all sorts of level 2 stuff), I was present and focused and challenged myself. There was time allotted for inversions, which I loved. I sweat, I trembled, I focused on my breath and made it through to dessert- Savasana. Will led us through a body scan and with permission to go past 9:00, allowed us to stay as long as we needed. Needless to say, I'm glad I found Inner Power Yoga, especially here in the 818, and especially especially that it is donation based. I'm looking forward to trying other classes that are being offered and other instructors as well. Next time, I will park in the back. Where apparently there is an Indian restaurant next door! But that's for another review. read more

Just started going to this studio and have had some great classes so far! They offer a trial package of 3 classes for $15 for new customers, which was a great way to try a few different instructors before committing to a class package. I've taken Power Yoga with Nikki and Jonathan, and both of those classes were excellent and unique. I also took a class with Glen at Lululemon and he was great, so I look forward to taking his Flight School class at Inner Power. read more

Conflicted. Went to two Basics classes here with two different instructors. Yoga Basics with Bre was great. She was lovely, she took it slow and gave us time to really get into each position. The transitions made sense and it was relaxing and rejuvenating, but also the necessary amount of challenging. The only thing I wish would've been different is if she had taken some time to make sure we were doing the positions right. Yoga Basics with who I'm assuming was a sub on the other hand? Not good. She went way too fast, at one point nonchalantly told us to free style any position we wanted, roughly physically adjusted all of us passed our limit and played 2000s dance music throughout the whole class session. (A gentle adjustment would've been fine.) I've had lower back issues for more than 10 years. After the class with Bre, my back felt great. After the class with the sub, my back was hurting and I needed to ice it. I didn't feel the same kind of euphoria I felt during the first class. I really it was because of the fast transitions and the way she pushed my leg past the point of resistance in a particular pose. Really turned me off from this place. If I continue with yoga in a class setting, my friends and I will be looking for a different studio. read more

I went on a 6-day yoga binge last week as part of the yoga health month, get a free week of yoga at your local studio promotion. Let's jump right in. In contacting the studio by email, I was promptly responded to and after some confusion, invited to just bring the form in and they'd take care of everything (though there was a glitch in the yoga promo system). I rushed over to the 9am power yoga class on Monday morning with Linda. This was a great intro to yoga for me! There were a bunch of teachers in there, so most were noticeably more advanced than I, but I felt no pressure to push myself harder than I was able. I felt a good deep burn for the rest of the day/night, and felt delightfully calm and flexible. Tuesday I went for a Vinyasa Flow with Ashley. This was a community class and less straining than the power yoga the day before. Again, great support from the teacher, and hints to make my poses more correct/go deeper. And suddenly, I'm balancing my legs on my triceps and hanging in the air. I had no idea I could do that! More soreness, and stretched-outiness for the remainder of the day. Wednesday I wasn't able to bring myself to an 8 am class and went to Western Bagel instead : ) I made up for it by taking another Power Yoga with Meghan later in the day. Gentle, encouraging instruction, and lots of personal attention from her. Best part- at the end she pulled you out to full extension during the rest period, and gave a little massage on the shoulders and face. Nice! Felt great after this class and powered through my evening. Thursday I pulled out the big guns and took an Ashtanga with Zach. I had no clue really what this class would entail. They all kinda sounded the same to me, with minute differences. My butt was totally kicked in this class. He pushed me so hard! It was great. I certainly felt the repercussions of the intensity for the next few days, but felt pushed in a great way, and proud of myself for attempting all the really tough poses and holds. I hobbled over to the grocery store after this, and wasn't walking quite right until the next day : ) Friday I took Qi Gong, thinking it would be similar to a Tai Chi class. There was a lot of Chi movement going on, but after the intensity of the last few days (most especially Thursday) the calm slowness of this class wasn't quite the pace I was looking for. Still, great and kind instruction. Saturday ended my binge week with yoga as I ended up with a schedule conflict and wouldn't be able to do restorative on Sunday. I chose aroma-yoga flow with Ania. This wasn't quite as heavy on the aromatherapy as I was expecting, but it was still a nice, peaceful, strong, but light yoga class. Small class, with lots of personal attention. I most definitely enjoyed my week of yoga at Inner Power. I have no qualms recommending this studio to friends and family. Very supportive, friendly vibe, with the opportunity to make it as hard or as light as you'd like. Linda, the owner, was usually around the studio (which was beautiful and peaceful) and asking me what I thought of the classes and how I was liking it. No sales pressure or anything, just genuinely interested in how I was doing. Great personal attention! read more

I love Inner Power Yoga!!!! They have such a diverse group of teachers, so you really can get the most out of your experience there. If you want a calming experience while you stretch, take Cher's class. If you want to focus on running muscles, Nikki will hit them all- even the one's you didn't know you had. If you want yoga with an attitude, Jason is your man. If you want a fun time, Alyssa and Danijela's classes will do the trick! My favorite classes are Natalie Backman's 6:15 AM one, Mondays and Wednesdays, and Natalie and Glenn's "Flight School", Tuesdays at 7:45 PM. Natalie, to me, is the perfect instructor. She keeps me calm and reminds me to listen to my body's limitations and not get frustrated, but still pushes me past what I think my limits are. She and Glenn always go back to technique- alignment, alignment, alignment! They both take care to know the issues that their students are facing. I have a ton of injuries I'm working through, and they are always conscious of it. Flight School is a ton of fun. I have been doing level one yoga for awhile and felt ready to graduate, and Flight School was the perfect class for me. It is all about building strength and practicing alignment to get into those cool arm balances you see on YouTube. It's tough. Really tough. But it's a lot of fun and a really safe environment. Linda, the owner of IPY, is such a great person. She really cares about the community and is always looking for ways to step up and make it better. And she's doing an amazing job. Inner Power is proof! read more

I am hooked on this studio and will not go anywhere else! Great vibe, energy and instructors. Love Kristen's class (Restorative Yoga) on Sunday evenings. This class really unwinds you and brings you to a peaceful state, with a full body stretch. I mean full body---you stretch muscles you didn't know you had. It feels like you just received a massage. Couldn't say better things about this place---try it for yourself to see. read more

Love the space, the studio looks and feels great. I especially enjoy Wayne's classes, he really exudes a deep power that motivates me to go deeper in my practice. I appreciate all the different vibes and styles of classes taught here, take a sampler, try out a bunch of teachers, you'll definitely find the right one for you. Glad that this is my local studio! read more

I have been attending yoga classes at Inner Power since they opened nearly 15 years ago. The instructors are outstanding and the most recent facility is very warm and inviting. Linda, the owner, strives to meet the needs of her clients. With the guidance of well trained teachers, I have developed a very good practice. I am 63 and still in great shape thanks to Inner Power. read more

Beautiful studio! Thursday evening Kundalini class was excellent. Easy parking. Many classes to choose from.

Wow, this place is awesome! I'm from the SF Bay Area and we were down in the Valley visiting family and jonesing for a good yoga class. My husband and I went to a few different studios in the area - some were good and some were not so great. Anyway, we were trying to go to Bryan Kest's studio, but we didn't have enough time and I was on his website, when I saw a link to this place. We do yoga regularly (4-5 times a week), but more hatha and vinyasa. We took a class with Linda, one of the owners, and she kicked our butts! She was so awesome, great energy and a wonderful teacher. The people in the class were really warm and inviting too! We're so excited to have a yoga studio close by to go to when we come down. Thank you!! read more

This is a great yoga studio. The instructors are very competent and the facilities are bright, inviting, and spacious. I have been doing yoga for 10+ years so I am rather choosey about where I practice. Some studios create a competitive feeling or the instructor uses the class to show off rather than tend to their students. Not here. They understand that it's not about trying to do the most advanced positions with poor, therefore potentially harmful, form. The studio is located at the end strip mall that includes a frozen yogurt store and dry cleaning, with a Gelson's, as a main anchor. read more

Bummed Ellen is no longer teaching at Inner Power but def still go to Jonathan or Ish's classes...they will make you SWEAT. Class times have been a bit tough for me to make but when I do, I LOVE IT. read more

I just moved to the area and when I asked locals about good yoga studios, I kept hearing about Inner Power. I have not been disappointed! I've only taken a few classes, but each class has been an amazing workout. The teachers I've experienced seem to be really positive and upbeat which makes class more fun. I'm impressed with the community here-- it seems like people talk to each other and the teachers get to know the regulars in their class. The studio itself is a good size and I love that there's a big window on one side so there's tons of natural light. Tons of props are available, which is nice, too. I think I may have found my new neighborhood's go-to yoga studio! read more

I have taken classes with Natalie and she is simply amazing ! I have started and stopped yoga multiple times but she is the only one that actually got me to stick to it ! My son (10) also takes classes with Karen and he loves it !!!! He does track and soccer and never complains about soreness or pain which I attribute to his yoga. He is resistant to most things but loves Karen ! Clean facility ,good shower , and nice people !! read more
