Switch Up Your Summer Sweat - Our Favorite Westside Yoga Classess...

With Summer upon us we are feeling inspired to switch up our routine! Yes, this even applies to yoga classes and, yes, Mary's reasons (being 8 months pregnant) are slightly different than Lucy's curiosity for the new.  Los Angeles is the land of yoga gurus and with new studios springing up all over we have some new discoveries and old favorites to share....

The Yoga Collective- 512 Rose Ave, Venice

Conveniently located blocks from Lucy's house and only $14/class (a deal for yoga these days), we are thrilled that Alex Westmore teaches here. Alex is definitely the epitome of a chic guru -  an insane surfer whose classes are the perfect combination of balance, strength, sweat, stretch and mindfulness! Afterwards enjoy a juice from Moon Juice or something stronger at Venice Beach Wines, which are both across the street.

- 1501 Main Street, Venice

Right off Windward circle, we love the relaxed vibe here.

Exhale - 245 South Main Street, Venice

We love Hala Khouri's class here and for a fine-tuning refresher of your poses Annie Carpenter.

YogaWorks - 1426 Montana Ave, Santa Monica

Mary has been loving Carolina Goldberg's class.

YogaHop - 1612 Montana Ave, Santa Monica

We are faithful attendees of  Kourtney Kaas' class at YogaHop.  An upbeat, workout where you will sweat flowing through your poses, motivated by music. We love Kourtney as her classes fun and she always closes them with a thoughtful take away.
