Experiencing Ja Yoga's style of splitting classes by chakras(body focus) really helped me identity and strengthen weaknesses in my body. These improvements have helped me in everyday life, dance, exercise. Really grateful for Ja yoga. read more

I have tried this location twice, both before and after the pandemic. The second time I went was just after pandemic so there was just one other person and myself. It was the same instructor. His instruction is okay but he talks too much about random stuff during practice. I want to go to yoga to relax and enjoy a peaceful environment. The location is still open as far as I know. Maybe play some relaxing music and stick to providing instruction. read more

I started at JA 3 weeks ago, referred by a friend. The studio is very cute, calming and relaxing. Everything is very clean and welcoming. I am rating it 3 stars because of "story time." This is my first experience with Yoga and I was completely thrown off by story time. Not what I expected at all. I'm a therapist and hear my clients stories all day. I am looking for a yoga studio where I can be present and not have to hear the instructors story. I didn't even know story time was a thing. Not my vibe at all. I need a studio where I can be present with myself and my surroundings while I meditate and stretch. But if story time is for you then this is the place to go! read more

UPDATE 11/2023 to my previous review: On 11/11 & 11/12 I am officially a Reiki l Practitioner! Lesliel conducted the training and it was AN EXPERIENCE. From the presentation, The Energy in the room, and Reiki Training/Class I have to say... AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I am looking forward to her next Reiki trainings/class. "When the student is ready, the Teacher will appear". Ja Yoga is the BEST CHOICE when it comes to a community built on your spiritual development. So much support! Thank you Ja Yoga! Ja Yoga is definitely Home! read more

I don't do yoga as routinely as one should, but Mic Ja always welcomes me by name and is a wonderful instructor with classes that focus a good amount on stretching and stress relief. I have been coming to Ja Yoga for 10 years, and the handful of instructors (very little turnover) are top-notch and always polite and constructive. The clients are also easy-going. The studio is a very peaceful place, with blocks, blankets and even yoga mats that customers can use. Free Flow Fridays at 930am are my favorite classes. My wife and daughter join me occasionally for a weekend class. read more

Ja Yoga is a very comfortable, calming, and non-judgmental space to come and do something good for yourself. In my ongoing quest of settling here in SoCal, and broadening my spiritual horizons, I purchased a great 20 session package on Groupon. The studio space is large, and I have enjoyed the Yogis and Yoginis that have led our practices. I'm happy to say that I know have a reason to get my butt going early on Sunday morning. There are three levels of classes; Basic, Gentle, and Flow, so there is something for all levels of practice. Basic and Gentle are offered 7 days a week. Flow is offered Monday-Thursday evenings at 6:00pm. The studio is on located at Spring and Bellflower by that big box gym and the bike shop that shall remain nameless. Plenty of parking, too! read more

I went to Ja Yoga to do some reiki healing and Leslie is amazing. She balanced my chakras and told me where I was not balanced and she was right on the spot. I will be seeing you more Leslie. It helped and relaxed me a lot. I should be getting a good nights sleep from here on out. Also the discussion we had were so on point. I will be there next week - maybe this weekend - for yoga. I'm excited to get back into yoga again. read more

Ja Yoga studio's teachers are excellent, kind, warm, knowledgeable and have a high level skill. The studio is amazing, clean, beautiful and you feel full of energy. I truly enjoy attending their classes, as some are definitely more challenging than others. I also enjoy the way each of them has different teaching styles of leading their classes. I highly recommend this studio to anyone interested in practicing yoga. Angela read more

Just started back to yoga after many years. I've been attending the golden hour aka gentle yoga and it's been the best thing. The studio is clean, large sized, and very soothing. Instructors often reiterate to do everything at your pace and what feels best for your body. Comfortable, non- judgmental, and welcoming. Very pleased. read more

Different than other Yoga studios. Not a meditative vibe here. Mic teaches the art of yoga through story telling, often with a touch of humor. Classes are usually 90 minutes. Free to use all the gear. My only complaint is that he doesn't always model the poses which makes it harder for beginners. read more

I found Ja Yoga during a period between employment, where I visited different studios utilizing their "unlimited trial" specials. Mic is funny and guides you effortlessly into a sacred space both spiritually and physically. Of the many yoga places I tried, Ja Yoga stuck. It really is about your practice and your space. There are young and old, advanced and beginning yogis and everyone belongs at Ja Yoga. If you are looking for a home, a yoga studio that will welcome you where ever you are, this is it. read more

So glad this place came into my life a month ago! The instructors Mic (also the owner), Asti and Travis are are welcoming and friendly, they make you feel at home. There is a good selection of classes suitable for all levels. The studio is spacious and peaceful. Lots of parking on location. Ja Yoga all the way! read more

Ja yoga is a beautiful studio. It is very inviting. Mic is a really wonderful instructor. He gave lots of modifications to each pose and shared many ideas that helped me do the poses at my own pace. Whether your a beginner or an experienced yogi I believe this studio has something for everyone. read more

Amazing, inspirational, pure body relaxation! I finally have found my Zen Home ! Thank you Mic

I love what Ja Yoga has done with this space. It's so warm and inviting. I instantly felt at ease when I walked through the door. I took a Gentle Yoga class with Holly and she is absolutely amazing. She is full of positive and calming energy. I really liked how she offered suggestions on ways to make all the poses more comfortable. read more

Aghhhh! Yoga my friend, we meet again. This is my fourth class here today, & although I have done yoga in the past let's just say it's been a while. I'm a runner & Ja Yoga is the perfect match to my workout routine. Such a calming vibe and ease to everyclass. Warm greetings at the door and throughout the classroom brings me such appreciation & gratitude throughout the day. Thank you, & Namaste read more

Ja Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm celebrating my one year anniversary at Ja Yoga, and so far it's been a great experience. Mic is so kind and entertaining with his stories which I love because it distracts me from the stretches sometimes . It's such an inviting place and I encourage anyone to check it out. Namaste ‍ read more

I've tried several studios in Long Beach (Trilogy Yoga, WE Move, Yoga World, free yoga at the park) and Mic's 6PM flow class is by far my favorite when I'm looking for a yoga workout. It includes lots of hip opening, wonderful original flows and deep stretching - I am dripping in sweat in this class and it feels great. The studio has an inviting feel, the other students that attend are very friendly (some places the students can be kind of clicky and snotty, not here) and Mic is very warm and welcoming. This is definitely a great place to practice for new and seasoned yogis alike. read more

I was forewarned but I did not believe it. It's like the day I turned 30, all these aches and pains manifested literally out of nowhere. Incredible. Oh and I'm pumping a lot of iron right now and hate to stretch. My mind has been, well, I call it 'discombobulated', but others call it 'crazy'. Which leads me to Ja Yoga. What an amazing studio. There is a slight misunderstanding of what yoga actually it. Many believe that it is physical strength, exercise, flexibility; however, yoga transcends beyond physical exercise, it is the union of the individual consciousness or soul with the universal consciousness or spirit. I found this at one other studio (Yoga Shakti) in Huntington Beach and was not able to find another quite like it until I came here. Their classes consist of 3 levels - gentle, basic, and flow. I haven't practice yoga in years and the gentle class was the perfect re-introduction. The gentle class is very easy and most of it is done in a seated position. The basic class is fairly easy as well. Here you get into the vinyasa a bit more; i did not find it difficult at all. When I'm ready, I'm really excited to try the flow class. I've read that they work on the poses a little more. I'm eager to work on inversions so i can take rad headstand/handstand photos on vacation. To summarize, so far so good. I am happy with this studio. My aches and pains have minimized, I continue to pump iron, and my mind has been downgraded to 'weird'. read more

I started with the new student special, to see if yoga was for me. Well ... it is absolutely for me and here I am, six months later, 32 pounds lighter, infinitely more flexible, virtually pain free, and happy as a lark in the park, that I took the plunge! At 64, I couldn't have made a better choice to regain and maintain my health during retirement. I couldn't have chosen a more well staffed and efficiently run studio. I LOVE the teachers here and the clients are also wonderful. I went to a gym for years, lifting weights, step classes, treadmill, the works and did not get the results I have gotten here. If you are wavering, JUMP!!! Take the plunge. Ja Yoga is the place you want to be. And ... it's FUN! read more

Great studio for all levels. Many instructors each with a unique style. Something for every level. Very relaxed, no pressure, no shame practice. read more

I have had several people in my life tell me to try going to this class . I think my ego got in the way and would not allow me to walk through the doors. like many of life's journeys this particular 1 was me getting my ego out of the way and becoming willing to look at new things. well, they say that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. And apparently that was the case because I ran into mic on my first visit when I walked through the doors . Any pre-conceptions were immediately smashed as we begin our first session . Mick takes you on an incredible journey throughout the entire session not only on the physical aspects of yoga but the much longer trip from the head to the heart. They say this is the longest distance known to man and I would have to agree wholeheartedly. God only knows I could use a little help there :-) read more

I have been to several different Yoga places, but Ja Yoga has so far been the best studio I have been to while living in Long Beach. I recently signed up with my friends for their introductory offer of Unlimited Yoga for one month at $40 (For New Students). The pricing does go up drastically after that(Though pricing seems similar to other studios) , and I am still debating on if I will stay on after my introductory month due to cost only. The classes/instructors are amazing. I have done all three types of classes which consist of Flow (hard), Basic (Fairly Easy), and Gentle (Easy and very soothing). The instructors are great, and make it a very no pressure experience. Everyone is allowed to go at their own pace, and they provide assistance when needed. I feel so great when I leave this place. The tension in my shoulders has lessen, and my lower back pains are far less annoying. I have been going to more classes than I had originally anticipated because it has my body feeling great. Hopefully by the end of my month trial I can figure out a way to make this place work on my budget, because my body is certainly reaping the benefits. read more

I'm a beginner and I've only taken a couple classes here but so far, Mic Ja, the owner, has been really helpful with pose adjustments and making me feel very welcomed. Mic Ja is adorable and the classes I took were great but I what I really fell in love with was the space and the vibe of this seemingly little yoga studio. From the store front you wouldn't suspect there's a huge and bright studio space just beyond the inner double doors. The music he uses is also really great, I think the last time I went, Mana was in the rotation and it totally worked with what we were doing. I definitely want to come back and check out some of the other instructors, and maybe even bring my girls in for kids yoga on Fridays. read more

I knew nothing about yoga when I stumbled upon Ja Yoga. I decided to treat my sister to a new student package for her birthday (highly recommended) and bought one for myself as well. I figured if I hated it, I could quit after a month. I didn't hate it. In fact, I just renewed for 3 more months because I love how my mind and body feel after a great yoga class. Mic Ja was very warm and friendly on our first visit, and instantly made us feel comfortable in our first class. He has a great sense of humor, and makes the classes fun, not competitive. He also has a great playlist on rotation that ranges from the typical "meditation mood" music to Moby and even Tool. The studio is a bright, open space with a stage at the front that allows you to see the teacher from virtually any spot in the studio and bamboo floors that are especially helpful for balancing. I like that they also offer different levels of classes, where I can take an evening gentle class to relax for the evening, or a more intense afternoon class if I want to sweat and get a bit of a workout. I've had class with four of the teachers at Ja Yoga and they are all superb. I highly recommend Ja Yoga, especially if you are looking for a warm and friendly environment in a yoga studio. read more

I have refrained from writing a review for Ja Yoga because I wanted to attend several classes before I came to the conclusion if I enjoyed it or not. Here's the deal... I LOVE IT!! I walked in and took advantage of their special for new students. I've been attending for a little under a month now, and I am a huge fan! The instructors are all fabulous, especially Mick (spelling?) whose classes are a lot of fun! The classes have already made a positive impact on my body. I'm already noticing a change in my body and posture (positive change of course!) and it sets me in a more positive frame of mind. If you don't know me, i'm a bit of a hippie (If you ask some of my friends, they'd say a lot) lol So, the spirituality that they subtly incorporate resonates with me. (You don't have to be spiritual to love the classes here either) I love to start or end my day with Yoga, it absolutely does wonders for my state of mind. Also, being a massage therapist... I love what it does for my body, I'm stronger, my posture has improved and overall... I just feel so much better! What I really love, is that it isn't pretentious. No snobby yoga teachers with a "better than thou" complex or cliquey suburban moms. (I'm a suburban mom, but not cliquey) lol I can come here wearing whatever, and still get friendly smiles from fellow students. I'm happy here and I'm actually going to buy a year pass and seriously commit myself to overall wellbeing. This is my 1st experience with a Yoga studio. And I'm happy! read more

Yoga is the unifying art of transforming dharma into action, be it through inspired thought, properly nurturing our children, a painting, a kindness or an act of peace that forever moves humanity forward. ~ Micheline Berry Ja Yoga is my favorite yoga studio in Long Beach. The space is open and airy and super welcoming. The instructors are awesome and I especially enjoy the music used during the practice. My favorite class is the 6 pm flow. Its a super hard workout actually but as with all yoga- it restores the soul too. I've been developing here- venturing into handstands and even did crow the other day! I love this place. New students can start with unlimited classes for $40 their first month. Its the best deal in town. "Do your practice and all is coming." ~ Sri K Patthabi Jois Namaste. read more

Yay I finally found a yoga studio that I love!!!! When I used to live in Irvine I fell in love with a great yoga studio. Since moving up here to Long Beach two years ago, I haven't found a studio that measured up...until now. Ja Yoga has an amazing yoga vibe the minute you walk thru their doors. It's very warm and inviting and everyone is so nice, including all the students who attend the classes. I'm so happy and excited to get back into yoga. It's so pretty inside. They have a soothing zen water fountain in one corner that's great to practice next to. At the other corner is where the instructor "guides" the class. They are elevated just a step up which helps all of us see them from where ever you are in the studio. So far I'm loving Natalia's 4:30pm classes and Mic Ja's 9:30am classes. read more

I found Ja Yoga through Groupon, but I think there's a good "new student" deal for all you first timers. I have been doing yoga, on and off, for about 3 years. This past year, I decided to dive into it even more and I have enjoyed it so much. I have tried various yoga studios, and I have to say...Ja Yoga is one of my favorites!! There's 3 classes - basic, flow, and gentle. I only tried the flow and gentle class and I loved them both. Mic was always my teacher - he's amazing! He really takes you on a journey and it was always so soothing and relaxing. He teaches you different ways to do/hold each pose, so everyone can go at their own pace and move in a way that feels right to them. It is a nice studio, clean, well-maintained. The parking can be a little bit challenging since it's in the same parking lot as 24 hour fitness. but it's worth it! read more

I needed some sort of outlet. So, I started on my yoga journey at Ja Yoga back in 2011 or 2012. I started with Mic's Gentle Yoga. I had just found out about something particularly emotionally shocking prior to the yoga session. I began crying during the session. He actually placed his hands on my head and began massaging it. Within minutes, a calm washed over me. He didn't have to do what he did. He didn't know what I was going through. But he cared enough to give me that little bit of what he could do to at least get me through the session. I'm writing this right now during the pandemic. I've moved since then and I'm hoping that he's doing OK and has found ways to adjust his business model. read more

Gonna go back, probably sleep most of my class. But that is ok. Mick is so cool. I can do yoga at my pace. Ja bless

I love this studio and the instructors, esp Alana Tilton and owner Mic Ja! Coming into this studio last September, I was stiff with lower back pain and a shoulder injury, both of which benefited greatly from the restorative (gentle) yoga classes. The atmosphere is serene. The music is inspiring. It's easy to forget that the studio is on a busy street because Mic designed a sound buffer. read more

This is one of the best studios I have ever had the pleasure of attending. I generally attend the 7:30pm Gentle class with my Mom. Mic is an awesome instructor. He makes you feel safe and calm while he generally tells funny stories about his life experiences. It also feels good to know that you are directly supporting his business by attending his yoga studio. The gentle class was the perfect class for my Mother and I to attend. Stretches can be as deep or shallow as you want. Everything about the class is tailored to your specific needs. I never feel upset or out of place if I can't do a stretch. As Mic teaches everyone is different and has different needs. read more

This is a wonderful studio and the classes are really special. I've done yoga at several different places but the classes here are different -- less focused on perfecting positions and more focused on what feels right for you, both externally and internally. I love that we concentrate on finding our inner calm. Also, I've never been to a studio where the instructor tells stories as you practice! Mic is a great storyteller and he ties his stories, which make intense positions less intense because you're focused on what he's saying, into what we are doing. This is a great studio for those interested in yoga at any level. read more

This yoga studio is great for beginners or for people who don't take it super-seriously. Ja Yoga is playful. A lot of yoga places are cliquish (Bikram) or really into the yoga culture and if you aren't wearing cute expensive outfits you feel uncomfortable. Ja Yoga is fine for people who don't know the sanskrit names for poses and who just wear sweatpants and a tshirt or who want to stretch, improve posture and have a guided meditation. read more

I like the studio but when I went to apply for a yoga teacher or substitute positions the gentlemen was quite rude and without inquiring told me "there are no teaching or substitute spots available"and "maybe I should take some classes there first" even though I have taken yoga classes there before and up until that point I enjoyed them very much read more

I came in at the beginning of the year while a there was a Groupon special going on and was bummed that it was so crowded in the front room on my first day, but there was more than enough room to spread out in the studio and there were plenty of blankets and blocks to go around. Was able to chat with random people so the crowd is pretty friendly and not intimidating or pretentious. Some reviews mention that the instructors don't make corrections, and I think that is just Mic's style -- very "do what feels right for your body" vs. "make sure your knee doesn't go over your ankle." read more

Let me start by saying this - - when you look at this place from the outside, you are not going to believe it could be so nice and relaxing on the inside (..don't judge a book....or something like that....). The floor is this beautiful expanse of bamboo, the walls are all textured, it smells great, and there is a beautiful big rock waterfall to one side of the room. I took a class here this morning and was pleasantly surprised at how calm and recharged I felt when I was done. I know that is what yoga is supposed to be doing anyways, but this place hits the mark. The owner taught the class and he explained every flow clearly, added little bits of information about ancient yogis, and injected a little humor every now and then. (And the previous review about this place not being stuffy or overly-serious is RIGHT! I was relieved to walk in and find people both younger and older than me, people in sweats, and people who couldn't do every pose - not at all pretentious, just like she said). When we were done, I couldn't believe that 1-1/2 hours passed by so quickly!!! They seem to offer a decent range of class levels and a nice range of time spots (however, I did notice when I came out of class, the next class allllll seemed to be hovering in the lobby waiting for us to finish). One thing that I did notice is that the instructor never walked around or adjusted (or helped) anyone....seemed odd. This is the first time I have been in a class where everyone isn't given some kind of attention. read more

This is my new love. I Love Mic! He is real and down to earth and teaches that way. This is yoga for ALL!! You will never feel intimidated or as if you don't belong. He is welcoming. He makes you feel as if your coming home from a long days work and hands you your slippers and graciously takes care of you for 1 and 1/2 hours. I have taken several types of yoga classes over the years but have never experienced this level of meditation and movement. He is a true yogi. read more

I've had this studio bookmarked for quite sometime and decided to purchase a Groupon offer. I'm so happy that Ja Yoga was where I had my first yoga class EVER! I attended the Zen Yoga session tonight and it truly relaxed every piece of my body. Every move and position was completely attainable and I was not intimidated by any of it. I noticed there's a great offer directly on their website for first-timers which is worth comparing to Groupon offers. Can't wait for my next session! read more
