I met Amber at my first appointment late in the fall of 2016, after my husband raved about…read moreaccupuncture, and his experience here. From the first appointment, when I came out completely relaxed, feeling like I had just had a 90-minute massage, I knew I was hooked. Amber uses aromatherapy, needles, body work, moxa (spelling?) and energy work to help determine your overall wellness and her approach is very kind, compassionate, gentle and natural. She has excellent bedside manner, and is happy to share a laugh or a tear as the case may be. Amber is quite willing to change up the treatment in order to ensure you are getting absolutely everything you can out of the session. My neck and shoulders haven't felt this relaxed, this soft in years, and I'm grateful for her work.

I've loved Whole Life Yoga for years. Their Viniyoga approach is adaptable to new and experienced…read moreyogis alike. This isn't an aerobics class calling itself yoga; it's an informed, safe, mindful, calming, energizing practice that can be as challenging as the student wants. I'm a 20+ year practitioner and I like a more challenging practice but I see newer students enjoying practice too. I especially love how there are always millennials mixed in with retirement- aged yogis. With covid they closed their physical space and moved to zoom classes. I'm amazed to say that even the zoom classes are wonderful. I was skeptical, but Kim (the owner and only online teacher I've had) still helps with alignment if she notices you need help, and I still get that Whole Life Yoga feeling of calm and grounding.

It's been one whole year since I broke my ankle now, so I am giving myself until the end of…read moreDecember to quit talking about it . . . but it is relevant to my review of Whole Life Yoga . . . or, at least I'll MAKE it relevant so I can mention it :o) You know that girl? That cute, teensy girl wearing the cool, color-coordinated Athleta yoga outfit with the appropriately zen-like tattoo in a place only exposed during the most twisty of yoga poses that she executes flawlessly--? I am afraid that if I attend a yoga class with a group of them, they will execute a series of yoga poses in perfect synchronization, and then simultaneously change into fembot ninja assassins and turn on me. I'M the girl who looks like a real person, wears whatever is handy to work out in--and probably accidentally spilled something on herself on the way to class--develops bed head after lying on the yoga mat for 5 seconds and can't even THINK about imitating a pretzel because of all of the creaks and groans and current structural concerns of my skeletal system. Right now I'm pretty happy if I can get from lying down to sitting or standing with no major muscle spasms. So, I really wanted to try yoga to further work on my ankle (still swollen and hard to flex after a year), incorporate a mind-body workout for relaxation and reap the other many benefits . . . but I was intimidated. It's like any new thing for me: I fear judgment and massive humiliation but (eventually) have to power through it anyway--there aren't REALLY any fembots, right? Or, I am sure they are all very nice, once you get to know them . . . So I started looking on Yelp for the least of all scary yoga studios. Whole Life branded itself as yoga for real people, so I gave it a shot. I am SO glad I did! Everyone is so nice, and helpful and everything else that has been said in other reviews. I was shocked to discover that a lot of the people that go there have worse issues than a broken ankle--I was feeling pretty good that I ONLY had a broken ankle. We all do what we can and progress at our own rate, and there is always someone to help you modify a pose (I think they have a person on stand-by full-time for me). I've gone from being super-intimidated to doing yoga three times a week with zero habit-building pains. And those perfect people? I figured out that they only exist in magazines, television and in website photos . . . actually, I see a lot of "beautiful" people at Whole Life, but they are beautiful in a real-person, three-dimensional way . . . sort of like a Dove soap commercial. :o)

Now that my kids are a little bit older, I saw that my town had a Yoga studio that had opened recently (I think!) so I found a great deal, a month pass for $30.00, I figured I could give it a few tries before making a commitment. The studio is amazingly beautiful, the ceiling was wood planked, the entrance to the floor is so simple but yet so chic. The building is dark with light wood accents, I love it! Lots of parking too! My first day was yesterday, the instructor, Shawn was soo nice. He hugged me instead of shaking my hand, he was soo welcoming! I told him I was a beginner and that this is my 1st time doing Yoga, EVER. He made me feel very welcome, told me I was free to go at my own pace and no need to over exert myself on my first day. I felt nervous because you cant help but feel self conscious but everyone there was so nice, they smiled and said hi (hello Seattle freeze? haha) the class was easy. Some parts were hard - I was definitely a beginner I already signed up for my next few days.

When the pandemic began, Shilpa moved her classes to virtual, Zoom live classes. I need these to make sure I do my practice! Otherwise I would not commit one hour to my practice every week. The way she structures her classess incorporate meditation, asanas, strength, stamina, and flexibility. It's also convenient for my partner to do the class with me at home.

I was new here and found this studio to be authentic, and kind and comfortable for new guests without any attitudes but true warmth. Los Angeles was home to the largest name teachers like Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Tej, Guru Singh and others we followed for so many years but then after Covid, much of the industry shifted into closed down studios, no more early pre-sunrise Sadhana daily meditation by candlelight, and even after completion of my License with Yoga West in L.A, I truly feel so out of the loop of our meditation and mantra and yoga community. This is a great studio and I hope to reconnect when the best time soon.

The instructors and attendees are all very nice. It's a comfortable place that doesn't feel intimidating. The workout varies- sometimes more sweaty than others, sometimes more breathwork and chanting, etc...I enjoy the variety! And the class breezes by! I really enjoy the Sunday 5pm class the most. I wish the times were different. A 6pm class would be perfect. 5:30 is hard to make after work, and 7pm leaves a pretty big gap of waiting....thus, I usually only attend on Sundays. I would attend more during the week if times matched my schedule better. For now, I will settle on 1x per week, and I really look forward to that class. I highly recommend this center if you're looking to try Kundalini yoga!
