about yoga loft
The View from your mat at Yoga Loft will bring tranquility & peace as you overlook Manhattan Beach Pier & the glorious waves below. Yoga Loft offers 40 classes a week for beginner & advanced students. We are one of the only studios in LA with an unobstructed view of the ocean; We ride the waves of vinyasa and the Pacific! It is a special place where you can practice on the beach without getting sand in your toes - It's like being on retreat every day! We offer lighthearted but challenging vinyasa flow with the Southbay's most inspiring teachers & Jill Miller's signature Yoga Tune Up® classes(featured in Marie Claire, Self & Yoga Journal magazines). Yoga Loft hosts a 200 Hour YAC Teacher Training with Genevieve Fischer this spring. Join us for specialty workshops and classes that highlight our beach community such as: Yoga for Shredders: The OM of Surf, Skate & Snow, Stand Up Paddle Boarding & Surf Lessons (bringing yoga to the beach), Kettle Bell Yoga, private sessions & Master Classes. Enjoy the sunset from your mat!Namaste-

Our Classes

Our classes are vinyasa flow, a style that blends the Iyengar and Ashtanga methods of yoga. Postures (asanas) are linked together in vigorous, flowing sequences that build strength, improve balance and flexibility, release toxins, and quiet the mind for overall well being.We offer all levels of classes for all different ages and fitness levels. We recommend that new practitioners begin with Level 1 classes and advance at their own pace, regardless of previous fitness experience. Lower level classes offer more detailed instruction and introduce proper alignment and breathing techniques, while upper level classes assume prior knowledge of the asanas and flow at a quicker pace. Each of our wonderful instructors offers her/his own unique style and personality - we encourage you to try a variety of classes and instructors until you find those that inspire and challenge you the most. Happy practicing and enjoy the view from your mat!Namaste!
