Red Diamond Yoga Washington

While visiting my daughter I stopped in at Yoga Salt and was so glad I did. The front desk attendant was very welcoming and helpful and made me feel like a local. I took 4 classes from 4 different teachers during my stay and each class was challenging, interesting and fun. I was very impressed with the quality of the teachers, attention of staff, and cleanliness of the studio. It was a great find and made my trip complete. Thank you Yoga Salt for welcoming visitors and providing high quality asana in a comfortable setting.

Yoga Salt is a small and intimate studio. It is always neat, the staff are attentive, and the yoga instructors are knowledgeable. Each instructor has his/her own strengths and approach to their practice, and all share the ability to deepen my practice, helping me find my edge. I typically leave feeling a little more centered and a bit sore (in a good way) the next day. The classes do get very full, so come early and be respectful of sharing space (everyone usually is).

I have been going to yoga salt for about 3 or 4 years now. It is my favorite yoga studio in LA, and I have been practicing for over 25 years and have tried studios all over the city. The teachers are exceptional and the prices are reasonable. The people who practice there are wonderful too, like a little family. It is a friendly atmosphere, not snotty or intimidating. I have actually never had a bad experience there. It does get crowded on weekends, especially in the mornings, so get there early or book online. I think last time I reviewed Yoga Salt I called it my sanctuary, and this is still true.

The studio is clean and parking is relatively easy. I took a yin class last night after work to try to unwind. Unfortunately, the instructor Catie I believe her name was, talked throughout the entire class. I mean this literally, I don’t think there was pause or silence for more than 5 minutes total in a 60 minute class. While a few insights or yogic teachings sprinkled into a class at the right time can be interesting, I found myself genuinely surprised and challenged by how much this teacher seemed to need to hear herself talk and regurgitate all sorts of ramblings and woo woo ideology. At one point she was taking about how we should buy socks for our friends, and sleep more on our left side if we felt we wanted to feel more feminine, there were lists she was reciting like remember these 5 things, do good, be happy, dance, yadda yadda. It is my understanding that yoga is supposed to help you get out of your mind and into your body, unfortunately when someone is continually talking this becomes difficult. In short, definitely not my cup of tea, and just fair warning for others who might want something more relaxing and quiet.

Yoga Salt is a beautiful studio conveniently located on Washington Blvd. I took class with Allison and loved it! It was equal parts challenging and relaxing. She took us deep into stretches, holding poses and testing our balance. Allison's playlist was great, it allowed us to listen to her the entire time and focus on our breath. I have lived in LA for a few years, and this is the BEST yoga class I have ever taken! I will be back soon
