I never write reviews, mostly because I'm shy and usually keep to myself, but I made an exception. I've been coming here since I was 16 and I'm 26 now, which is kind of wild to think about. This studio has been a steady part of my life through so many different versions of me. Showing up, being on time, staying present, and getting through class is the real challenge not so much the heat lol. What makes this place special though is the people. Liz, the owner, is genuinely so cool, and all of the teachers are great too. I'm a pretty quiet person and usually kind of in my own world, but they've always been kind and respectful and never made me feel awkward or out of place. They don't force anything, kinda meet people where they're at. Besides all that the studio itself is always super clean, which makes a big difference. And the disco balls on the ceiling always make me laugh, it gives the space personality. You can also tell they care about their students and space because they're always coming up with new ideas, classes, and ways to keep things interesting. Just check it out read more

I love this Yoga studio ! The teachers keep me motivated and they have great programs plus ++ really great teachers ! Teachers like Ebbon, Kim, Reyna and Liz are great teachers, self deprecating and funny. Each teacher offer such a different dynamic including a recovery class for Fascia with Reyna that has been helpful for my injuries. At Stretch I started consistently attending in January and recently got to enjoy my first class with the owner Liz who is very professional, she knows her stuff and truly is present, observes her classes /observes her students , I respect how she see's everything and everyone in the room and is sure to tell you to correct your forms (so you get the very most from the pose for your class and are doing each correction and correctly) . I also really appreciate how she made sure everyone could see themself in the mirror - esp since I usually go to the back I often cant see myself in the mirror -most classes are quite full - Liz made certain people adjusted their positions so everyone could see themself, I love that ! And she demo's with more seasoned students /teachers poses visually that help myself and newer students. Liz also tell's stories in between poses that moves the classes along very swiftly., she is self deprecating and funny, Thanks Stretch , love that you are in Burbank , Appreciate you !

Stretch - I usually drink coconut water post yoga class but my teacher told a story that made me super thirsty for 7up ! Such "influence" - Yoga Near Me - Burbank, California

I'll start with the positive because it's only fair. The studio itself is clean, the space is solid, and the teachers are genuinely good (most I already knew from other studios that closed, and this was the only option near my house). The community is also supportive, which is why this review is so frustrating to write. Unfortunately, the owner, Liz, completely ruins what would otherwise be a great place. To put it bluntly, she's been consistently rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. And not in a subtle way. As a paying member, we're told we can store our mats and towels at the studio. Somehow, out of all the mats there, mine was the only one that ended up thrown away into the dumpster. Not misplaced. Not moved. Thrown out. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. I had to literally dig through the trash to find it, which is insane considering my mat is distinctive and clearly recognizable as mine, so there's no reasonable way it could have been mixed up with someone else's. That alone would be enough to question management, but it gets worse. Multiple times, I've said hello to her and been flat-out ignored. Not "she didn't hear me" ignored. I repeated myself. She heard me. No response. And on the occasions when she did respond, it was often with a short, curt, or just rude tone in her voice. At first I thought I might be overthinking it, but someone else noticed it as well and pointed it out to me. Meanwhile, I've watched her greet others warmly right after. The difference in tone and treatment is noticeable and uncomfortable. There was also an incident where there were only a few of us in the studio and she had music playing that repeatedly used the N-word and included lyrics that were openly disrespectful toward Black men. It was loud, impossible to ignore, and completely inappropriate for a professional studio setting. Given that she is not part of the Black community, choosing to play that kind of music in that environment shows a serious lack of awareness, judgment, and respect. And in class, the way she gives corrections is completely out of line. Other students get polite, respectful guidance. When it comes to me, it's delivered like a public scolding. It's unnecessary, unprofessional, and frankly embarrassing. I've also observed that she is capable of giving corrections in a polite and respectful way, but chooses not to with certain people. In my experience, that inconsistency in how she communicates, and who she decides to be very rude to, is concerning. I've always been a respectful, kind, and positive presence in this community, and I've had no issues with anyone else at the studio, whether teachers, students, or staff. On top of that, the cleanliness of the male bathrooms is often unsatisfactory, which shouldn't be the case for a studio of this level. The yoga room itself can also smell really bad at times, which takes away from the overall experience. At this point, it doesn't feel accidental. It feels targeted, and it's not okay. The studio has so much going for it, which makes it even more disappointing that the owner behaves like this. No one should feel disrespected in a place they're paying to feel better in. Fix the attitude, fix the professionalism, and basic standards like cleanliness, and maybe this place can live up to its potential. Until then, I can't recommend it. I'm sharing this based on my direct experience so others can decide for themselves. read more

You move to LA, you do yoga. Them's the rules. I tried all of them. Felt silly or unsure in what I was doing in a lot of them. To be honest, it didn't really hook me or reach me in any way. I'm a pragmatist. Just wasn't my vibe. And I felt like an outcast. Then I tried 26+2 yoga. And the medical foundation/physical therapy aspect to that yoga changed everything. It was the first class I attended with equal numbers of men and women and every age group. And all backgrounds, but a lot of folks with some history in sports. It's straight forward and works your mind (I'm very anxious) as much as your body. I've been to classes at a handful of studios and then landed at Stretch. Mainly because it was a good deal. But I got hooked based on their expertise and dedication to this 26+2 practice and the healing aspects of the additional classes - Body Sculpt to build strength and Body Recovery to stretch your fascia. One of the teachers played in the NFL and if he's doing this to heal, that's a ringing endorsement for me. Another bonus - there are windows. This may sound ridiculous, but when you've practiced 26+2 in a room with no windows it's a special kind of added torture. At Stretch there are views and skylights. And disco balls for some reason. I'm told there are classes with music for special holidays, so I imagine that's where those come into play. Or someone just has a thing for disco balls. That's cool. Above all else, I appreciate how welcoming the environment is at Stretch. Feels nice to have community these days. It's not just the teachers, but the other students. Very supportive and if sweating together for 90 minutes won't make you quick friends, I don't know what else will. Highly recommend checking this place out. Especially if being as mobile as possible throughout your life is a priority. And meeting nice people. read more

Well I don't do this- write reviews. So I must love this place for me to write. I've never done yoga. And the idea of doing yoga in a room above 100 degrees is especially not in my wheelhouse- ever. Stretch in Burbank has made me a disciple! I'm an older male with limited flexibility even though I'm an ice hockey goalie.. This place has turn my world around! Not only my flexibility but my mental well being!! And the physical toning has also improved! All the teachers are incredible and for 1.5 hours seem like therapist for your body and your head! This place is so worth everything! Just try it-it will change something in your life for the positive!! All the teachers are so unique and awesome! Special shout outs to Ebbon ( he sounds like the Dude!) Reyna - Kim- and the owner Liz! It's like Cheers they know your name and are all invested in seeing you succeed! Each teacher is so different and each are so knowledgeable and they'll help you get to new places! None of this is an exaggeration nor have I been paid!! My everything Ali drug me to our first class while I kicked cried and screamed- I've now been going consistently as possible for over 2 months- I'm so impressed I've even written a review! Today is actually "Random act of kindness day" however I would have posted this anyways! This place is that great. read more

This is one of the best Bikram style studios I've visited. I'm traveling across the country and this is a 10 out of 10. Great instructors and well maintained studio. 5 stars. read more

Stretch is such a special place!! Aside from having highly skilled teachers and the best heat/humidity and showers in LA, Stretch is a headquarters for an amazing community of yoga students. There's a really Strong, positive energy buzzing through the studio. It is very unique and welcoming. read more

Great yoga studio and amazing teachers! Definitely worth the sweat and effort. Best feeling after class.

Holy crap! Was I frickin exhausted after this in a way I hadn't been before. A friend of mine comes here regularly and he suggested it would be a good supplement to some of the other sports we do. I got another inexperienced friend to come with so I wouldn't feel bad about being so inflexible. I had done Bikram before and I thought that muscle memory would come back and help me out. It didn't. I was smoked during the warmup but it was fine because Danny was super encouraging even though he made a crack about doing another set of warmups. He even cracked the side door open because I'm pretty certain he saw me and my buddy dying in puddles. While it seems like I had a bad time I felt terrific afterwards and definitely felt encouraged to give Bikram another try. I appreciate Danny and everyone being some welcoming and being gracious to us noobs. read more

I love the owner and teachers here! Always hot and sweaty. They offer an intermediate advanced class I have never seen offered at a Bikram studio before. Love it. read more

Best hot yoga studio in the LA area! Great facilities, amazing teachers, and all around just a great place to take care of your body.

Great hot yoga classes in a great space. Teachers and students here know each other and it's kind of a community. I felt very welcome. The heat is crazy in there but if you manage to make it inside the room for the whole class you will be better for it. Yep. I'll go again. Ps: Loved Liz. She's super encouraging as well as fabulous. Make sure you talk to her before your class so you know what yo expect if you've never done this type of yoga. Enjoy! read more

If you like hot yoga you came to the right place. Their schedule is small. But for the classes they offer, you do get your moneys worth.

Best yoga studio around. Great facilities, great teachers, dedicated students. Your body, mind and soul will be better for visiting this place! 5 stars and 10/10 read more

I love this yoga studio. It's an amazing place to work on your mind, body, and overall well being. I have cycled through different classes at different times with many different instructors and I can say that all of the instructors are great. They each notice a different part of my practice that needs work and help me improve. I've been coming here for 6 months now and it has become a crucial part of my fitness journey. read more

I've been going to Bikram on and off since 2002. I started at the Costa Mesa studio, learned the basics there, went to the Irvine one, DTLA, Fullerton, south Pasadena, and Atwater. Out of all the studios I've been to, this one is the best. The studio seems like it was made for bikram. Spacious studio with non stinky carpet. I'll practice even if it's stinky, but it not being stinky is a plus. Another major plus is the multiple showers. I've never had to wait to shower. Also the water stations make it super convenient. But even if those were lacking, I'd still come for the amazing teachers. I've been doing Bikram for years and thought I had most moves down, but no. I've been corrected so much for little things that probably make a big difference. I think its really improved my practice. I feel taller and my posture is better and it's been less than a year. I didn't get this with my practice before and I've been to a few different studios. read more

Warning: Your first class is NOT free, even if Yelp says it is. Having just moved to Burbank, I was hoping to find a yoga studio to join nearby. I saw a button on Stretch's Yelp page to try out your first class free, so I signed up on their website. The website did not prompt me to pay in advance for the class, so I figured I was good to go. When I arrived for the class, the teacher was confused by my registration and said that there was no such thing as "your first class free" but to go on into the class and he'd figure it out after the class ended. After the class, he said Yelp likely screwed up and I would have to pay $30. If I had known that I would have had to pay full price, I would have simply asked for a tour of the facilities and left to consider coming back another time, likely with a class pack which is just a little more money. Unfortunately, I have no desire get a class pack now. The teacher who helped me was very unprofessional and unsympathetic, dismissing me most of the time to assist his regulars. I was certainly too distracted with this debacle all during the class to even enjoy the class that I ended up having to pay for. From a customer service perspective, I wish more was done since this situation was very uncomfortable and did not leave me feeling good. read more

I truly enjoyed taking my first class at stretch. My instructor was patient and corrected my form when needed. This is really a great place for you to connect with your mind, body, and soul. I was dripping in sweat after the class and felt super accomplished. Will definitely be back for more classes. read more

Love Love nothing but Love :) Love this place! Very clean, friendly and professional. Starting from day one it felt like I was part of the Stretch family. Highly recommend. read more

THIS PLACE IS SO WELL DESIGNED!!! CLEAN! GREAT LADIES LOCKER ROOMS! In the photos online, the main floor looked like laminate, but then as soon as I walked in, I realized it was carpet! - and I was pleasantly surprised! Of course it would be carpet, we're about to get sweaty. The teacher was alert, lovely, present, and conscious from what it seemed like and her class was FANTASTIC! I will most definitely be coming back for more. read more

First of all, I'd like to say that I was there the same day Grace W. was practicing yoga and what she described on her review is far from the truth. I have no problem with anyone expressing their opinion and definitely won't tell people how to express their feelings because that is their right. What I do have a problem with, is when people do these reviews and LIE about incidents that never happened for the sole purpose of bashing or "getting back "at a business/ employees that really did absolutely nothing wrong ,but offer a service that you're obviously not mentally prepared for. With this being said, I am grateful for this studio and all the Teachers whom I've taken classes with. If it weren't for this practice who knows what other meds I'd be on . This practice has helped me sooo much in my life. I enjoy and look forward to coming to STRETCH every day. It is a welcoming, clean, supportive, happy and fun environment.The community is very strong and yes, everyone is at different levels but I've learned that, it's ok. We'll get there maybe soon or maybe later. There is no rush and most importantly, no one is judging you. Yoga is challenging indeed, but the Teachers at this studio are always there to give you advice and support you in what ever you need help with that day. Everyday, the Teachers always welcome any questions you may have about the practice before and after class. I love every single one of the Teachers, Suzette, Danny, Sandi, Vicky, Rich, Malachy, Dan, Kenna, Binu, Eben, and last but not least Liz. They have all taught me something different about myself ,my practice and my over all health. Thank you all. This studio also offers private classes if you wish to practice in a more private setting one on one. Liz is an amazing woman and business owner, I am proud to be one of the many to see her strive and to see this studio flourish the way it has, is and will continue to do so. My advice, come and see for yourself what STRETCH has to offer and what they can do for you. It's the best gift you can give yourself. 90 minutes of hot MEDITATIVE yoga for your mind, body, and soul. ‍‍ read more

Must try Sandi's Glute Sculpting class on Thursdays at 11am and Sundays at 4pm. She makes it fun and you will feel the burn. Sandis is very knowledgeable on the body and can recommend modifications if needed. I took her class during my pregnancy and it helped tons to get my body back in shape after baby. read more

This place is awesome! I have been taking Bikram yoga classes at Stretch for about 4 months now. I go 2-3 times a week and have taken many classes throughout the various times available, so I've taken classes with many instructors. I usually take classes with Liz and Danny, they're both super awesome and very helpful. I've taken Yin Yoga with Abbie and that was a great experience as well. The instructors here are all approachable to ask questions and are very helpful. Throughout the class they will give you instructions on how to improve, which I really like. The studio itself is kept nice and clean. The locker rooms are great and I love that the hand soap smells like fruit roll-ups haha. Honest truth, there are a few poses I never thought I would be able to do, and it turns out that those poses became the ones I like the most. I used to go to a chiropractor at least once a month to adjust my spine. Ever since I started taking classes, the pain is completely gone and my posture is back to perfect. My lifestyle has changed completely ever since I started taking yoga classes not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. It has impacted my personality in ways that I could never have imagined. It has changed my perspective in many aspects of my life. For example, I have better control of when I am bothered by something and also I feel more appreciative of things I didn't care much about before. Come take a class, you won't regret it ! read more

Stretch - Yoga Near Me - Burbank, California

Amazing place and awesome teachers!!! I feel so great and healthy every time after practice.

I just had my first hot yoga class and Liz made it an amazing, and welcoming, experience. The studio is beautiful and clean. Although that class was well-attended, I still felt like I had plenty of room. I loved the big windows and skylights. There was plenty of natural light. Best of all was the well-organized changing room, with lockers AND showers! I'll be back!! read more

I am a yoga teacher, so try not to review studios as bias may be present. That being said, Stretch is an amazing hot yoga studio. After having practiced/taught at a number of hot yoga studios across America, it is so refreshing to practice at Stretch. Stretch is one of a kind. From the yoga room aesthetics of quality carpet, superior heating system, impressive lighting and mirrors, to the incredible teaching filled with thorough knowledge and experience. There are plenty of showers, bathrooms, and lockers available. The shower head makes you feel like you are in a lovely waterfall. There is plenty of parking, either in the back of the studio or on the nearby streets. I highly recommend Stretch yoga. read more

BEWARE this place is a rip off!!! I went for a one time visit and got talked into taking a membership- they still charged for the one class and the membership. I realized I couldn't stomach going back due to the stench from the carpet that wreaks once the heat goes up and the gross smell of other peoples sweat. I was charged again at the end of the month and asked to not be charged again as I wouldn't be going back. They said they would reverse the charges. And not charge a cancellation fee. All was cool until they asked why and I politely mentioned the smell was too much and that's why I wouldn't return. I said the Carpet has a wood design maybe go for wood flooring instead, then the manager got rude and offended. It was corrective criticism to help them. Well they kept the charges and would not reverse a dime. They would not return my calls. I then asked my bank to reverse the charges as I was charged 2 months and 1 class for only 1 smelly class. There's a cancellation fee I was willing to pay but no they wanted all of it. So for 1 class I paid over $240.00 for crap. Never again or should I say NOmaste read more

Amazing yoga studio! Check this place out! I recently joined this yoga studio and every teacher I have had a class with have been knowledgeable, very helpful and have amazing personalities. The teachers have made the process of practicing yoga fun and engaging while being in a hot room. The facility is beautiful, very clean and inviting. read more

The staff is really welcoming and great at supporting beginners. The facility is really clean, and they have lockers and showers available.

I started coming to Stretch in October of 2022 and after the first class I knew that I would be coming back immediately. The studio is very clean and spacious even when classes are full. EVERY SINGLE INSTRUCTOR is so passionate and encouraging which is so helpful when you are in such hot room! Yes it is challenging but after every class I feel incredible and stronger than I did before i came. I've enjoyed it so much so that I decided to do the teacher training and I'm so incredibly grateful that I did. The amount of knowledge and experience that Liz and Christian have is mind blowing and I've learned so much about yoga as well as myself. This has definitely been one of the best investments of my life and I am so excited for the future of my practice!! I matter what you may have heard, do yourself a huge favor for your mind and body and try it out! It will be one of the most rewarding challenges that you have ever come across. read more

Love this yoga studio. I have been practicing here since the studio opened and I appreciate being able to take any class and feel good and detoxed. If you are looking for a yoga studio look no further. read more

This place is life giving. I've been practicing yoga on and off for over 20 years and have tried countless yoga studios back when I was living in NYC and many new studios after I moved out to LA. Having been to many of the popular yoga spots such as Y7, Hot8 and others I have to say Stretch is a completely different experience from all these other places and is really refreshing. It's the first time I felt that the philosophy of the studio focuses on each individual person's growth and they want to challenge you from where you are. I've only taken a few classes so far but have been impressed by all the instructors I've had. Thank you to Suzette, Danny, Crystal, and Liz because they've been the kind of instructors who see you (and really see you and help you) as an individual and challenge you to push yourself while showing a lot of grace and compassion. Liz said today in class that we are all constantly learning and although I've been practicing yoga for a bit, there are so many postures I've done wrong or need to keep improving and I really appreciate that perspective. The community aspect of this studio is also something that I felt was lacking in other places and I felt the sense of support immediately when I first walked in. I would highly recommend taking classes here if you're someone who's looking for real guidance and instruction in your yoga practice and if you're also looking for community that will support you in that journey. I'm thankful for my friend Mike to have introduced this studio to me. read more

This is a beautiful studio . Started practicing here after they opened the door after Pandemic. Teachers are fantastic, studio is clean. Liz is lovely. I have already done couple of classes here. The only downside is that I have noticed teachers start their classes 10-15 minutes late which cuts down the 90 minutes class to 75 minutes, it happened couple of classes. Then they rush through the breathing and standing poses, which is not fair for us practitioners, we arrange the time and our schedule, reserve a class and then we don't get 90minutes classes. I hope they become more aware of this and be more considerate and start the classes on time. read more

This place is great! I've visited BY studios all over the world & this is one of the most beautiful, clean & organized. The teachers are extremely attentive to the students, showing genuine concern to ensure you're following, learning & spiritually reaping the benefits of your practice, no matter what your level. It's truly a family & we're often invited to the Studio's activities. Sorry it took me so long to leave a review, guys I miss u & promise to return soon!! Much love & light. Please keep up the good work! We yogis need you!!! read more

Ok. I know what you're thinking HOT YOGA!?!? Are you mad??? That's what I thought. But wow. School of Stretch was a delightful surprise. Yes, I push myself to the absolute limit. Yes, I have to take a knee several times during class. Yes, I want to panic and burst through the windows ala Kool Aid Man at least twice a session, but I stay. Well, first I show up and then I stay. And why do I stay? I stay because of Liz... and Kenna... Sandy and the rest of the amazing instructors. They learned my name, they support me and the rest of the class, they cheer us on and make us better each day. After this past year and change in isolation it is really nice to be a part of a community that is focused on making each and everyone of us a better version of ourselves. If you're reading this, I hope you check it out. I hope I meet you and make you feel as welcome as I feel when I'm there. *Side note. I almost fit I to my pre-Covid jeans so there's that. I could go on and on but I'll finish with this. The facility is beautiful. Like you won't find a better place to practice. It's super hard and you'll think you can't do it. But showing up is most of it. read more

To the experienced yogini: I have taken Bikram yoga classes for over 30 years and have tried different Bikram yoga studios all over the country. STRETCH is an excellent studio to practice in. As a hot yoga practitioner, it's a given to endure the 'aroma' of hot yoga studios. Liz's studio is pristine in every way and Beautiful. A breath of fresh heated air ;) She is passionate about teaching and is a grounded teacher which resonates throughout her teaching staff (I took from Vicky, Diana, Suzette, and Danny) whom all have a sense of humor. Liz organizes other events that bring in community participation. I enjoyed a clinic she conducted that had photographers (including Liz) take pictures of participating students (including myself) and offered a separate class to analyze each pose and offered constructive adjustments to elevate our practice. Brilliant! And you get to keep your photos. This studio is top notch. See you on the mat. read more

Came for 1 class. The instructor seemed to take a few bumps of cocaine before class. Spoke like the micro Machines guy and was rather rude to a few students. I brought a friend who was new and I felt like she made her feel like shit throughout the class. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

This yoga takes at least a months worth of practice before you can truly give it a full and fair assessment so I would take people who award this place with one star with a pinch of salt. This practice I treat as my daily medicine as it works wonders on my aching body. Over Christmas 2021 I was badly injured through a sport called jiu jitsu. My back and ribs were in severe pain, I could barely move and unfortunately in the UK so unable to get to my yoga class (It's very hard to find 26/2 yoga in the UK!!!) So I tried to recreate my yoga practice at home as best I could, getting into the postures and stretching out my spine whilst taking many hot baths. I was back doing jiu jitsu the very next day! I believe it this yoga works miracles and I am forever telling training partners to get themselves in here. To top it off Stretch has a wonderful community, full of beautiful people and from the off I was welcomed in with open arms. It's comforting to have these people around me and I'm always excited to be there. OH and what a beautiful facility too!! It's always clean and they have water available on tap! Thank you for providing such a wonderful facility to practice in along with amazing teachers to help guide us. LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about it! read more

I am not a flexible person. I hate yoga. I love this place. Really wonderful instructors, clean facilities, and super supportive environment. I have never sweat so much in my life. read more

This is the most beautiful hot yoga studio I have ever seen. The yoga room and showers look like a high end spa. The best part of this studio, however, is the instructors. They are all top notch. I've spoken to people who have had bad experiences with drill Sargent-type instructors with hot yoga (26/2). You will find none of that here. I'm not in the kind of shape many of the other students are in and I do need to rest. The instructors actually encourage taking it easy if you feel light headed or unwell. Don't be afraid to try it. If I can do it, anyone can do it. They are also doing a phenomenal job of implementing social distancing and other safe practices to ensure everyone feels comfortable. This yoga practice can change your life. I always feel amazing after I finish a class. read more
