Wish this studio was cleaner! The bare minimum for any workout space (especially heated) using weights and props, should have disinfectant wipes ALWAYS available, and they very rarely do. I've taken almost 100 classes here and I would say there's a 80% chance of them out of cleaning wipes. I'ts honestly disgusting and am shocked not more people have mentioned this, or maybe they believe the props are being properly cleaned in-between classes (spoiler - they are not). These props are drenched in sweat and germs. The front desk spritz some spray (barely) onto the blocks & wheels, but never the weights, and none of it is actually wiped down. I have to bring my own disinfectant wipes, which is crazy considering the price of classes. read more

I signed up for the 2-week unlimited trial so I could try different classes like vinyasa, heated yoga, and strength yoga. After the trial, I honestly wasn't planning on joining, but after taking Jason S's class I changed my mind His strength yoga class is my favorite. I love the way he teaches, his energy, and the overall vibe. He really works your whole body -- legs, arms, abs -- and you feel it in the best way after every class If you're thinking about trying it, definitely take his class read more

New policies and changes are awful. The wait list is horrible. Why give people a number and false hope. It is literally more stressful to book a yoga class at RA!!! I have to watch my phone to see if I get a class even if I'm first on the waitlist. This is not doable for people who work for a living. I think it's time to look for another yoga place. read more

First time here and I loved the yogalates class! I would deff come back ! The energy, workout, lights, and playlist were all . I also want to give a huge shoutout to the front desk this was my first time, I timed it wrong from home (parking alone takes 10 minutes), and I showed up late for my ClassPass class. They were super kind and let me take the next class that started in 15 minutes. A++ customer service. Only downside was how packed it was; felt like sardines, especially for a hot class. A little more space - breathing room would make it perfect. You can barely see the instructor from how packed it is . read more

I took upon the 2 week special, and I was unsure if I was gonna join. After I took Jason's class I was like I need to get a membership. He really works you out and his energy is incredible !! Instructors like this really make a difference! read more

Not for the germophobes or those who like personal space... Personal Space: They cram everyone into the tiniest rooms and expect you to do the stretches without colliding with your sweat soaked neighbors. If they got rid of 4 spaces per room each row would have more space to spread out but there's no way you can do wall to wall stretch or bird dog without a strangers bare foot meer inches from your face. Also, when you're next to someone sweaty, depending on the class their sweat flings onto you. Hygiene: Everyone walks around barefoot with wreckless disregard I got so grossed out, after my first class I came with socks and felt slightly better. I think they swiffer the sweat between classes but I'm not sure if that's dry swiffer or actually disinfecting. The rings and blocks get wiped between uses by staff but the blocks are pourous so how well are they really being cleaned? No one wipes their weights either just straight back to the rack. Instructors/class offerings: Once you find an instructor/class you really like, it may only be offered once a week at one time slot so if you're busy you have to go to a different instructor/class and roll the dice. My favorite class was yogalates with Sunny (Shamtrice), Karen, and Fabian. They had the best balance between music volume and audible instruction. Other instructors who shall not be named are shouting over music or giving muffled instructions that you can't hear or follow. Ammenities: Appreciate that they had towels to rent if you forgot to do mat-laundry, and for a reasonable price, I think it was $3. I believe there's showers, lockers, and childcare if needed which could be convenient. Otherwise for class you just put your shoes into a shoe cubby and brought your water inside the room. Pricing: I felt the 4 class/month for ~$70 was fair for what it was worth. I just didn't love being locked into 6 month contract. I have submitted my cancellation request and it was honored quickly and in writing so there should be no issues. Results: The classes do work though if you're consistent. I have greatly increased my core strength, and relieved lower back pain. The App: Loved that there was an app to book classes, it was very easy to use and convenient. Overall: I would recommend this studio if you can mentally get passed being jam packed into a room small enough to generate your own microclimate/humidity with 35 strangers sweating all over you and questionably clean equipment! But if that doesn't sound fun then don't even bother. Try a 2 week pass and see if it's a good fit. I've never taken hot yoga anywhere else so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I was pretty grossed out and had to suck it up for 6 months to fulfill my contract. 3 stars given for convinience and results 2 stars removed for the ick factor read more

I've been to multiple studios in the area and by far this has to be my favorite! The pricing, the area, the instructors and staff are all great! read more

Love Ra yoga ! Been coming here for 4 years now and always feel great when I leave . I enjoy the heated classes . Strength class with Tatiana is one of my favorites and Jill's ra vinyasa is also very good . I like that they have a wide variety of teachers with their own style of teaching . The front staff is always super friendly . Not a big fan of the new booking system though seems a lot harder to get into some of my classes lately hopefully something changes soon . read more

I've been a member for almost 2 years and I love coming to this studio. The front desk staff and instructors are friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of class types to choose from. I recently tried out a yogalates class with Mike and I left feeling energized and relaxed. read more

Ra Yoga - Long Beach - Exterior - Yoga Near Me - Long Beach, California

Amazing teachers who have a passion for yoga. I am a long time member. For the most part yoga becomes a part of who you are and strenghtens the mind and body. Rayoga has three types of practices: Exercise driven, Yoga flow, hot and restorative. I for one started in the hot and restorative practice due to injuries from martial arts. It has allowed me to keep my body in great condition. As I started my diet, yoga has helped me to fit in my skinny jeans again and regulate my eating. I have lost nearly 50lbs on my journey and kept the skin firm and tight while doing that. read more

I don't like yoga. It's never been my thing. However, I was looking to try out different workouts, so I thought I'd stop in and see what this was all about. I did a hot yoga class in the latter evening, and let me tell you, it was hot. Like really hot. Hahaha. We were all dripping with sweat. When I first arrived, I saw that some people had Ra towels on their mats. I thought maybe they had some for us to grab for the class, but I guess they were individually purchased. It makes sense to have a towel during this, but it didn't cross my mind beforehand. I only brought a smaller one with which to wipe my face, etc. There were people of all levels in this class, though I was obviously on the newer end. I thought I did poorly, but the instructor told me afterwards that I did a good job and she was surprised it was my first class. I haven't been back since, but I still plan to do this again. read more

I did a class pass for hot yoga. The check in was very easy. I was greeted and welcomed in. Once I said it was my first time I got a quick tour. The instructor was great and encouraging. She lead the class in the traditional way and for it being my first time doing hot yoga I did feel overwhelmed with the heat. It was a full class but enough room to do all the poses and she came over to correct if needed. I would definitely come back again. read more

Used to be my fave spot despite the assigned spaces being too close and tight. Have gone a bunch as I have a 2 class a month membership. I went to Jill's class for the first time and actually enjoyed the vinyasa and had to leave a few minutes early cause I had to work. (This was the first time I ever left early) I quietly rolled up and tip toed out and she put her finger up at me and pointed at me like I was her child and said "Try to stay through the whole class." Extremely rude and disrespectful with her behavior (mainly the finger in my face). I've been to many classes where the teachers are understanding for those that need to leave early and don't say anything. She was not zen at all about it. More back story: i was on the waitlist so was made aware that morning I got in so that's why I was trying to squeeze yoga in before work as it was also the last day of my membership cycle (credits do not roll over). With only being allowed to book one day ahead most times, the classes are full so it's quite hard to plan if you are on a tight schedule. There is one other guy with blonde curly hair at the front sometimes that is really rude and unwelcoming as well. Other than those two, I actually really love the other staff so it's unfortunate that the other 2 have left a sour taste in my mouth. Before I used to tell everyone about how great of a studio it was. Now I'm debating if I should cancel the membership. read more

I've been a member at this yoga studio for years. They have reasonable membership costs and a great schedule with lots of variety. I'm a big fan of their Hot Ra (Bikram) and Vinyasa 2 classes, but they also have strength and yogalates for getting in better shape. The teachers and staff at this location are amazing and so kind. Ra Yoga also has 2 locations in OC that members can also go to (in case, like me, you live near one location and work near another). They also sell yoga merchandise and clothing if you need new supplies and rental mats and towels in case you forget one day to bring your own. read more

In terms of fitness, I love this studio! 5 stars! I've taken quite a few classes by now, and all the instructors are fit, knowledgeable, and challenging. I like to take yogalates or Ra strength to get a good workout, but the vinyasa classes are strenuous in different ways, too. I love the physical challenge the classes provide -- I always feel like I pushed myself in a new way with each class I take! However, I do feel like what keeps this studio from being perfecttt is the space. The studio is very cramped, and I know that's unfixable, but it's really frustrating to access the cubbies, restroom, and locker rooms because the space is basically a long hallway, and their classes are popular! There are always a lot of people, which shows their classes are great, but I always feel rushed and uncomfortable when starting/ending class because of the huge crowd that gathers in the same area. read more

Hot yoga is my favorite thing ever! I can only swing two classes a month, but I do really love the experience.

I really enjoy this studio. I had gotten into yoga a few years ago when I lived in Pasadena and core power was my local studio. I moved to Long Beach a couple years ago but there wasn't any cpy studios nearby. At the end of 2024 I did a trial membership with Ra and have been coming consistently since then. This studio has pretty much fulfilled. All of the yoga needs that I have. My go to classes are vinyasa 2 with Nate, Bobby, or johnny. I also consistently do Ra strength with Danielle. If you're looking for a good heated yoga practice, give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been coming here for over a year & have enjoyed many different classes. Dante's class on Sunday's at 9:30 is my favorite! You can tell he puts so much positive intention into his class. I never miss a Sunday unless I'm out of town, he's that good. I love that every class he brings an exciting new flow. I'd highly recommend! read more

My friends and I signed up for a class pass trial and decided to try this place out! Parking is plenty but it can get crowded fast. There is extra parking across the lot but it is quite a walk. Just make sure to come early to find parking! It's best to bring your own yoga mat, water, and towel. There's a locker room if needed. You will need to bring your own lock if you want to use the locker. We did the Yin RaStore class. Since we were new, we didn't know what was going on and they didn't really tell us what we needed. I just followed the crowd and took the pillow, pillow cover, and a block. I should've also took the blanket. I wished they told us ahead of time that we can take everything in for the class. The class wasn't what I was expecting. It was more of a relaxing, slow, meditation kind of vibes. It wasn't a standard yoga class with poses. Next time, I'll try the regular yoga class. It was an interesting experience if you're looking to relax! read more

I love this studio. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Studio is always clean. Instructors are very professional and knowledgeable.

I discovered this studio through Groupon. I used to practice Bikram which I loved, but after some time, my blood pressure and the heat didn't get along anymore. I loved the movement and liked the warmth, but needed something different for a while. Maybe one day I'll give that another try. In 2022 I found a deal for Ra Yoga and it was tempting when I saw the variety of classes offered. I tried many instructors and classes at the Long Beach location since, from Soundbaths to Yogalates, Power and Ying. Sometimes the class was fine but the instructor's pace or way of teaching wasn't for me. Other times the instructor made me feel great for being in the class but the sequence or energy wasn't what I needed at the end of my work day. But then, I found the classes and instructors that worked for me. And I've been sticking with them. The point is, we all like different things and different classes and instructors will bring out the best in us (or not). So do yourself a favor and try different classes before you make up your mind about the studio. And be nice and polite and mindful and did I mention respectful and nice? It's an escape, it's a break, it's what we all need in a busy world filled with expectations and ambition. But it is a shared space, physically and mentally. You want motivation and someone who can make you feel like you can do it (whatever it may be for you that day)? Take Karen's classes. I personally think she has the power to take away my migraines but maybe that's just me. Need someone to work out all your kinks and make you wonder how your body can feel so many things in so many areas of your body in one class? Go with Nathan. Want to feel the energy and listen to some amazing music while you work your buns off? Yup, you can get that there too. Find your happy. I guarantee that you will find someone or some class at Ra that will make you feel better or stronger, 1 hour at a time. And yes, sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's hot (although not Bikram hot), but it's all worth it. #Karen'sFan PS: Front desk staff are pretty awesome too! read more

Seems like previous reviews got all the good compliments to this place out, but I want to sing my praises too! I highly RAcommend this yoga studio! It's a RAvishing & clean studio. I see what they did there, incorporating the really cool freight container wall as if to say we yogis can be whole people, beautiful and flawed, or something similarly artsy:) The pricing is clear and upfront. They have new student specials! There's a little library so bring a book to swap. Try Bobby's vinyasa flow or Lauren's strength class for challenging workouts. Have fun saying you're going to RAAA yoga like I do whenever I'm on the way! read more

I personally love the Ra Yoga in Costa Mesa but this one does the job. They ask everyone to leave their belongings in cubbies (as other studies do) and I recently had my favorite pair of Rainbows stolen. They may have been taken by accident, but I'm not the type to steal someone else's. I asked if they had disposable sandals and explained what happened and their response was that it happens more than you think. They were apologetic but if this happens often, it'd be nice if they did something about it. I will be bringing all of my belongings to class moving forward. read more

I took Hazel's class this Saturday--what an incredible instructor! Definitely knows the art of yoga and challenges you with a mixture of routines. Class vibe is awesome--music is fun and so are her patrons. Take her class; you will enjoy it, tremendously! read more

Last year, I purchased the 2-week class package. I was only able to attend one class and enjoyed very much. I did attend other classes due to personal circumstances. I would like to thank Shelby, the owner, for assisting me and providing another complimentary. Thank you so much Shelby and I'm looking forward to attend more hot yoga classes! read more

I'm so happy I gave this place a go! I am not a yogie but I wanted to try something slower, more focused and different from what I'm used to. The classes here are amazing. My favorites are the Yogalates and Yoga Strength classes. Hazel and Danielle will kick your ass (in the best way possible). Get ready to DRIP SWEAT. You'll feel amazing afterwards, I promise. All bodies and levels come here to get their workout in. If you feel intimidated and don't want to go alone, hit me up! I go alone, but I've interacted with some fabulous ladies during the workout. I mean... how can you not build connections when you're all struggling to do leg lifts in 97 degree heat? read more

Ra Yoga - Long Beach - Yoga Near Me - Long Beach, California

Love this place, the vibe is amazing, and so is the community. It is a clean place, well kept. Love the yogalatie that's one of my favorite classes which I haven't seen many places across between yoga and Pilates. Only downside is the parking on the weekends this place is crazy, but worth the extra parking time! read more

I have been attending for over 2 years and love the classes. I think each instructor has wonderful talent. Nate on Dundays is my favorite though! read more

Sunny (Shametrice) is by far the best Yogalates instructor! Her energy, expertise, and ability to create the perfect balance between yoga and Pilates make every class both challenging and rewarding. She explains movements clearly, offers modifications for all levels, and keeps the sessions engaging and fun. I always leave feeling stronger, more flexible, and completely refreshed. I only wish she had more classes on the schedule--I'd take them all! read more

As I progressed in my pregnancy I was limited in safe exercises I could do. RA Yoga is one of the few yoga studios that offer prenatal yoga and I came to love it. I was first introduced to RA Yoga through Class Pass and always came for their Hot Ra heated yoga classes. (I call that class a workout and built-in facial). I ended up buying a package and recently, the Prenatal Class with instructor Elizabeth has been my jam. Prenatal Yoga is offered twice a week, Monday & Wednesday, both at 12p. I adore the instructor Elizabeth. She brings warmth and knowledge to the practice and always starts with an intro session with everyone. It's a safe community of yogis and I even made a new friend during my first class that I still keep in touch with. One of my fave parts of the class is a prenatal version of savasana where we use the bolsters to prop us up and Elizabeth comes around to "tuck us in" with blankets and she sprays an aromatherapy spray that instantly transports you to a vacation retreat. I always leave so relaxed and rejuvenated. There are two large rooms with mirrors and the floors always feel clean, the air is well-ventilated (no musty smells going on), and the temperature is perfect. There are lockers (need to bring your own lock) and showers with toiletries provided. This location is new and such a beautiful studio. I always look forward to practicing on my mat at RA Yoga and plan to buy more packages. read more

Such a transition from my intense workouts to sitting in tranquility! The hot yoga was an amazing experience! Bring your own mat, water bottle (they have on site water stations) towels and come ready for a blissful time. No shoes or phone allowed in the room during session. They provide pillows and blankets for your comfort as well which I appreciated. I will definitely come back again if I ever need to ease my mind, body and soul! read more

I love this place! I purchased an unlimited essential membership after my 2 week trial because I enjoyed it THAT much. I've been coming here for over a year now and have had a great experience with many of the instructors. My favorites are Amber- she's super sweet and does sensual flows that have helped me feel in touch with my own body while getting a super fulfilling work out and Karen- Again, really sweet and insightful, absolutely love her level 2 classes as they are challenging mentally and physically. Front staff is always so so wonderful and accommodating too. Lately, they have been pretty busy and if you don't book early enough you'll get waitlisted and sometimes not get into the class, especially with the popular classes or ones on the weekend. There have been times I don't get a chance to even get waitlisted as ClassPass users have earlier booking windows. I wish Ra did something about this as I specifically only come here because of my membership. Unfortunately because of this, I will be cancelling my membership and switching over to ClassPass to book here and at other studios in the future. I understand classes getting fully booked isn't necessarily their fault so I'm still giving the full 5 stars because I think this place is fantastic and clearly other people are catching on too ;) read more

I booked the $28 single class (yogalates) to try it out and I ended up signing up for a member ship. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. My instructor Ursula really makes me push harder, she's amazing. I can't wait to try the other classes that this place has to offer. read more

I took 500 yoga classes in 2 years oh la la. My paid unlimited membership will end July 2023. After that no more yoga for me until 2025. 500 Ra yoga classes are the most exercise class I did in my life :) I think I must spend at least 1000 hours at gyms & my cardio machines at home total...yet I still have tummy & I gain weight recently lol I continue to exercise in hope to lose weight & stomach fat soon. I take LESS yoga classes in 2023 because I'm bored of yoga after 500+ classes. Plus I put my heart & soul into learning tennis & play tennis well in 2023. read more

the teachers are great here, I wish the practice room was not super crowded, it feels so crammed

Ra has been life-changing for me. I thought I'd go my whole life as a non-exerciser, but the instructors here still have me hooked over a year later. From the first time I entered the studio, the front desk staff has been consistently kind and welcoming. In particular, Matthew and Angel seem to take the time to learn everyone's name which makes the check-in process smoother and creates a warm environment. read more

*Yoga Newbie Alert* This is uncharted territory for me as it was my first yoga experience ever and RA Yoga exceeded all my expectations! Aubrey thank you for making my first Hot Ra so transformative and memorable! Literally had tears in my eyes because it put me in such an incredible space of mind. The Goods: - Showers had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! Yes! - Studio was cleared up 30 minutes prior to my sessions so I got to mediate and stretch - Easy online reservations - New, clean, and beautiful studio - Mood lighting is a VIBE - Well ventilated Whereabouts: Located near the Long Beach airport with plenty of free parking! read more

OK awesome, youngish crowd that likes to be challenged while getting their flow on. A great mix of Vinyasa flow (heated & non-heated), Yin, and HOT yoga! Lots of options with a focus on personal Adaptive flow, however you may pull it off. Great restroom, water access, and POSITIVE VIBE. LOVE IT so far. read more

I have been to my share of Hot Yoga Studios and I have to say that Ra Yoga is one of my favorites. I started at their location in Costa Mesa and switched over here after moving cities. It's on the smaller side with two large rooms. The instructors all have different styles of teaching but some of my favorites are Amber, Karen, Ursula, Danielle, Hazel, and Laurie. Whether you're looking for a hard workout or more of a stretching/restorative class, Ra Yoga has just the thing for you. read more
