If you are new to yoga or if you’re a yogi from way back that is craving a more intimate class experience, I know just the spot for you - Silver Lake Yoga. My favorite LA studio!
This laid-back neighborhood studio has been providing great classes to the Silver Lake community since 1995. Owned by a husband and wife pair, Jonathan Emerson and Juliette Kurth, Silver Lake Yoga provides a warm, inviting atmosphere, hip and knowledgeable instructors and lots of one-on-one attention to every student that wants it. This is not the type of studio to see and be seen at. There’s no ’scene’ about this place, just friendly yoga without pretension.
65 classes a week are currently offered, including Pre-natal (taught by Julliette, a certified doula), Mommy and Me, Pilates and Meditation, along with regular yoga -fare such as Flow, Ashtanga, Core Yoga and Beginner’s classes. If you’re new to the studio, there’s a free Intro. class on the first Sunday of every month. Short on cash? Try one of the two Community classes offered each week for only $8!
If you are new to yoga, I recommend taking Jill or Jonathan. For those with a more rigorous practice, Susan, Joan and Marti Jo all offer wonderful, fun and challenging classes during the week. If you’re a long-term yogi with a strong practice, Hanna’s Mixed Level 2 class will probably vibe with you.
There is ample street parking or a small lot in back. Enter through the back door and make sure to take off your shoes before entering the asana room. Classes are $15 for a single class. I recommend purchasing a series and saving a little green. I mean, it’s a safe bet you’ll fall in love and be back again and again. Tell them I sent you. Just the first time you go, I mean. That could get a little annoying if you said I sent you every time you go. You know, twelve years from now, if you’re still like, “Kendra sent me”, I bet even the most Zen yogi would want to punch you.

I agree that Silver Lake Yoga is the best studio I’ve been to since moving to LA (at least in the Silver Lake/Downtown vicinity - don’t travel much outside of that for class taking). The teachers are all very knowledgable and the space is fabulous - simple, quiet, nice lighting…Love it.
