I now practice Iyengar Yoga to accommodate a variety of physical changes which have occurred. Without having to go to the Iyengar Center in LA, I am able to get excellent instruction from Cara and Yarden. Cara has studied with the Iyengars in Pune and updates her knowledge regularly with instructors in the US. I feel safe practicing with both of them. It's so easy to take a class at this studio; I don't have to bring my own mat, blanket, bolster, strap or blocks. Cara has all of the yoga props one could ever think of to accommodate different needs. The space is clean and bright and the students are friendly. The props are in good condition and always clean and students make an effort to make new students feel welcome.

Highly recommend.

And, for the past several months have been getting physical therapy in both areas. Although, much better, some pain is still consistent. After one treatment at Dharana Sanctuary, Bernhard was able to pin point the tightness and give me incredible relief that lasted for over a week. He also suggested several Yoga positions and exercises that would be beneficial. I'm a believer! I highly recommend that anyone in need of a physical and spiritual adjustment run,. not walk to Dharana Sanctuary. They are warm, caring, and committed to making a difference!

After years of a chronic negative situation, I felt low in energy and very stuck. I knew that a…read morewestern doctor couldn't help what I had. After trying a few meditations groups, I found Bernhard, a most gifted and knowledgeable healer, and knew instinctively that he was what I was looking for; he was the "real deal." Through his healing energy sessions, he helped to clear out and balance my chakras, as well as, illuminate my understanding, by giving me clear messages that were meant for me. This has been transformative for me. Western doctors can't heal in this way. I recently participated in their 1/2 day Retreat, and had an energy healing session with Laurie. She was just as amazingly gifted as Bernhard. She's very communicative during her energy sessions and gives you important messages. I can't say enough about this pair's capacity to inform and effect healing through authentic meditation, and clearing distorted energy. If it were possible, I'd have sessions weekly!!

Hats off to the "The Ritual" for sponsoring an event with Rover dealership to support puppies…read moregetting adopted. I was pleased to be invited to this event- The event was a puppy yoga. Ritual is located in a strip mall close to Trader Joe in Thousand Oaks. The studio offers a wide range of classes and a tasteful array of retail. The studio is bright and clean, and offers a relaxing calming studio. Outside of the studio there are plenty of places to store your belongings. My experience at the studio was great- despite the fact that I barely got to practice. I appreciated the yoga instructor and his patience during this experience- it was fun to have puppies in the class. The instructions throughout this experience was relaxing and informative. I look forward to trying a more typical class despite loving the distractions from puppies. Parking is ample at this strip mall. The shopping is busy so be careful in the lot and be prepared to walk a little bit.

So I just found out ClassPass was screwing them over this whole time and now I feel like the guy…read morewho thought he was tipping 25% but accidentally hit "no tip" for six months. Here I am rolling into class like, "Heh, only 6 credits ," thinking I'm a financial genius, while behind the scenes the studio and the blonde assassin owner are basically getting paid in exposure, incense and dryer lint. I wasn't hacking the system--I was the system. Those credits were straight-up Chuck E. Cheese tokens: "Congrats, you survived heated sculpt, here's 10 tickets and a rubber spider. Also, the studio made 37 cents." Now that I know what's actually going on, I'm fully on Team Blonde Assassin. If anyone's going to roast my form, vaporize my quads, and trigger an emotional breakthrough in savasana, they deserves real money, not a handful of digital coupons. So yeah, RIP to my "free" workouts. I'll be over here swiping my card, supporting the studio, and pretending I totally knew how ClassPass worked this whole time. ‍

Will just start by saying I've been a CPY-er for 8 years in 3 different cities and have loved it…read more But I wanna mention something that seems to have become a real issue in the last 6 months. The heat and, more so, the humidity are out of control in SO many classes these days (at several studios, not just WL). Even though there is a clear chart posted in each studio with the temps and percentages that each class level is to be set at, it seems like each instructor just does whatever they want, unfortunately. I'm ALL for the hot yoga, that's why I go to CPY, but please keep it at the standards that we pay for. Don't set the class to 105 degrees if it's supposed to be at 98 max in a C2, please. I was in a C2 yesterday and saw the tstat said 108. That's insane. I'm paying 200 bucks a month and I want to not be distracted from my workout and my zen by the fact that either I can't breathe or am feeling like I'm dying from how hot and humid you've made it in the room. Please don't crank it up just because one person asked you to, or because you want to. I want to leave feeling like I kicked ass in the correct amount of heat, not was tortured by it and had to leave early to escape it.

Pilates Sculpt with Marianne; Normally when a guy walks…read moreinto a women's Pilates class, the instructor gives that side eye like, aww, he's definitely in the wrong place. Marianne didn't even bother with the side eye, she just dropped the hardest class ever. Ten minutes in, I was sweating like I'd been waterboarded with coconut water. Halfway through, I started seeing my ancestors. By the end, I wasn't even working out anymore, I was just bargaining with Jesus like, "If you get me through this, I swear I'll foam roll every night." Joking aside Marianne has a great class, my favorite instructor here so far...

This allows all students to know that a class with peppers is going to nice and juicy. If you are a fan of hot yoga, you understand! There is also a large yoga room, with the best teachers who have been guiding thier students for many years, along with teaching all new postures, & helping us learn good form. There are some very strong women & men who want to see us students grow and develop our practice at WYC. Westlake Yoga co is a community that feels like a family. When you enter, you are greeted by smiling faces, welcoming you, and offering towels, yoga mats and whatever else a yogi needs to have their best experience. I love it there, and the hot room feels like my safe space, where I can go to flow, and really get into a deep place in my mind, allowing me to work through whatever I am going through that day. We also always remember to laugh and have some fun! The teachers are always professional and make 100% sure that all of the students are safe, prepared for what they are about the experience & always keep us hotties happy, by keeping the room hot, while fanning the door to let air in at the appropriate times. My life has changed for the better in that room and by practicing yoga & I hope that anyone who tries it has the same experience. Sometimes it is hard, and we push through as a community & that makes us all a little stronger! WYC offers a large variety of classes, including strength & mat Pilates, vinyasa flow classes, sound healing and educational classes & we always have fun!! Don't skip out on the magical sound classes, breathe work & educational classes that teach us more about yoga and our journey through life. The studio is beautiful, always clean, offers showers, and drinks to cool you off after class, along with a cool lavender towel, that all students get at the end of class to cover our eyes, during Savasana or just to lay over us and inhale the lovely smell of lavender. The teachers are all amazing, never just repeating words, but teaching with intention, care for thier students, and a true love for yoga. You get a physical work out, along with a mental detox, tools to help you through the hard times & you make some great friends along the way! Namaste
