The Vibe: A Moving Meditation…read more It never ceases to amaze me how yoga seems to meet us exactly where we are and offer exactly what we need. Today was one of those days. The Guide: Sabina Weber * Flow 2 Flow 2 with Sabina wasn't about challenging ourselves to get into the deepest expression of any pose. As she beautifully framed at the beginning of class: "We use the poses to connect to ourselves." That became the entire practice. We began on our backs with deep breathing, slowly easing into our bodies before movement emerged, one pose unfolding into the next. Throughout class, Sabina's cues brought us inward: * Connect to yourself. * Breathe into the space you've created. * Let the body feel good. At the peak of the flow, she instructed us that if we lost connection with our breath, we were in Child's Pose...and to stay there until it returns. The beautiful part? That was never necessary. Even while completely drenched in the infrared heat (sweat pooling around my mat), the practice remained gentle, graceful, and deeply connected, a true breath-to-movement meditation. The soundtrack echoed everything Sabina was teaching. Breath In, Let Go by Aurenza (AURENZA - Breathe In, Let Go) filled the room, reminding us to soften, release, & return. The Tribe: A room full of yogis breathing as one. I arrived early and was the first person in Studio B. Every time this happens, I wonder: "Am I going to be the only one here?" (This may actually be one of my favorite rituals in yoga...) Lying on my mat with my eyes closed, I listened as the room gradually came alive: The sound of feet on cork flooring, mats unrolling, and blocks finding their place around the room. Then Sabina entered. I opened my eyes to a room now filled with yogis. (There's just something really beautiful about that moment. ) The Space & Place: A gathering place for slowing down. North Ray made a wonderful first impression. I was welcomed immediately by Aubrey at check-in, who helped me get settled and acquainted with the space (a reminder of how welcoming yoga communities are). Worn wooden benches and scattered shoes on the concrete floor are signs that this community has been here before and keeps coming back. The aesthetic blends industrial and cozy: Exposed ceilings, warm wood, soft lighting, plants, retail displays, & artwork throughout create a space that feels calm and modern. Studio B continues that feeling: Expansive ceilings, a cork floor beneath your feet, soft globe lights hanging overhead, a skylight above, & plenty of room to move and breathe. Practical Notes: The studio offers $3 valet parking on-site, but I arrived early and found plenty of street parking. The she/they locker rooms are clean and beautifully designed, with plenty of lockers and built-in locks, showers, restrooms, and a styling station stocked with thoughtful amenities. The Sum-Up * Infrared heat. * Steady, gentle breath. * Ease & grace. * A room full of yogis moving in a collective rhythm. This was a gentle class where I softened. That's exactly what I needed because, I swear, yoga always meets you where you are. Loved this!

I've been going to Punx Pilates for over a year now, and I absolutely love it. It's a really…read morespecial place for me. I love the vibe, the music, and the energy in the studio. The instructors are amazing, they're truly involved, attentive, and always there to help and support you during the class. You never feel ignored or left on your own. One of the biggest things for me is that there are no mirrors. Because of that, I don't compare myself to anyone else, I don't feel awkward or "wrong," and I can fully focus on my body, my breathing, and my inner sensations. That alone makes the experience so much healthier and more enjoyable. Also, I really like that this isn't typical "LA girl chick vibe." Almost everyone looks like me, wearing old shirts, whatever they feel like - not like pink or white girly sets with bootie lifts. It feels real, relaxed, and focused on workout, not on how everyone looks. I also really appreciate their system. I love that I can pay per class or buy packages of 10-20 classes that almost never expire. There's no forced membership, no enrollment pressure, and no automatic monthly charges - if you don't want to be obligated. I can come at my own pace, in the rhythm that feels right and comfortable for me - and that's incredibly important. Overall, I genuinely love everything about Punx Pilates. It feels thoughtful, respectful, empowering, and very well run. Also I like the fact that this is Women Owned business. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive, non-toxic, and truly enjoyable Pilates experience.

I needed a place to stay in town for a night while my apartment was dealing with construction, and…read moresince I've considered becoming a member of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, I figured this was a pretty good way to test-drive the place. The best part of staying at the hotel is that you get full access to the club, including the gym, pool, locker rooms, spa, sauna, and Jacuzzi. I used the locker room, sauna, and Jacuzzi and really enjoyed all of it. Very nice facilities and definitely the part of the experience that makes staying here different from a normal hotel. The locker room was a little confusing as a first-timer. I had no idea where I was supposed to get a locker or exactly how everything worked, and I happened to arrive at a very busy time. There seemed to be some assumed etiquette that everyone else already understood. A 30-second explanation at hotel check-in would go a long way. The hotel room itself was incredibly clean. Like, noticeably clean. Honestly cleaner than a lot of Marriott properties I've stayed at recently. Beyond that, though, the room is pretty no-frills. Mine was right near the elevator, so it was noisy, and despite being inside this grand historic athletic club, the actual hotel room experience somehow gives a little bit of motel energy. Clean motel energy, but still. Both the hotel staff and restaurant staff were very nice throughout my stay. For dinner I went to Invention, the club's lounge-style restaurant. Really nice atmosphere and a good place to hang out without having to leave the building. I ordered the steak frites and asparagus, plus a cocktail called Respect Your Elders, made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, St-Germain, Amaro Montenegro, and Angostura. Pretty good. Basically what would happen if an Old Fashioned developed a sweeter, slightly more herbal personality. I also had a Sangiovese, which really hit the spot after my recent trip to Italy. And then pecan pie for dessert. Yum. No notes. The steak came out a little more cooked than I would have preferred, but everything was very flavorful. For dinner entertainment, I happened to be sitting next to a couple on what appeared to be an exceptionally awkward first date. No reservation required for that show. The next morning I went to Famous Players coffee shop for breakfast. I had the California breakfast with eggs, avocado, and bacon, plus a latte. Solid breakfast, and more importantly, it was a nice place to wake up, open the laptop, and get some work done over coffee. I also appreciated the photos of USC football players on the walls. Fight On! Overall, I'm glad I stayed here. As a pure hotel, I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the rooms alone. But as a hotel attached to a historic athletic club where you can work out, swim, sauna, soak in the Jacuzzi, eat, drink, get breakfast, and basically spend your entire stay without leaving the building, it's a pretty unique experience. And as someone who had been considering membership, staying overnight was actually a great way to see what the club is really like.
