Very disappointed in treatment of clients. Customer service is sorely lacking. Stuck up administrators and snippy male front desk person. He needs to be replaced. Also, studio needs to be aired out after classes with air purifiers that are on the premises. Smells of stale sweat, feet and body odors pervade.

Danielβs Sunday classes were a highlight of the week. His sessions, especially the chanting, were something I eagerly looked forward to. His caring nature made these classes truly special. Nina was the reason I chose this program. Her kind soul and gentle demeanor created a nurturing environment that made learning a joy. Micki was an exceptional teacher. Her expertise and passion for yoga were evident in every class. This training will not only open new doors for you but also make you a part of a wonderful community. You'll feel like you've joined a new family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and connect with like-minded individuals. Less

Everyone told me that the Teacher Training at RLY would change my life and boy were they telling the truth! The combination of the leadership and the expertise of Claire and Daniel has been an extraordinary growth experience. Claire's emphasis on alignment and core strength in yoga practice with the NKT specialized focus has improved my understanding of the importance of proper execution for life long longevity of yoga practice and has improved my personal practice exponentially. Claire ensures that we trainees can confidently teach and explain the how and why of the poses and the alignment so that our teaching will lead others to success in their practice without injury. Daniel's deep love for and ability to teach and develop our respect and knowledge of the roots and the tools of yoga have given me a wonderful foundation to move through life, and yoga practice, at the edge of the heat with the ability to rest in what is here, now, reflect, revive and renew moving forward with joy and respect for the process. And, just when you think that's it, you get the added bonus' of Nina and Micki who are outstanding in their practices and their teachings of Yoga! The Ayurvedic Living class that Scherry taught 100% improved my daily nutritional focus and has made a visible improvement on my physical appearance. I feel supported and welcomed every time I come to RLY for class and I will go forth in my own yoga teaching knowing that I have been trained by the absolute best in the business! SO MUCH GRATITUDE!

Claire and Daniel, the founders, are two of the most knowledgeable And caring teachers in Los Angeles- this is not a corporate or cookie cutter yoga business. This is the real deal, the cream of the crop, a hidden gem that I'm forever grateful I found. It's very rare post Covid to find a place like this... I found Rising Lotus through one of my yoga teachers that has over 30 years of experience. I was considering doing my teacher training a different place but she urged me to take a class at RLY. It was by leaps and bounds it was the right decision and I now urge you to do the same :). Namaste. Less

In the last year or so I've love Micki's classes in particular because I find I need something faster pace ...and she is just such an inspiration with how strong and grounded she is in her practice. A few years ago, I took the 200 hour Yoga teacher training offered at the studio by Claire and I'm so profoundly happy that I had that opportunity. It really helped me deepen my practice in more ways that I can count. I've also gone to Claire for her NKT therapy (which honestly was a lifesaver in those situations where my body just went out of wack...). What can I say...I just love RLY...check it out for yourself!

The front desk staff is super helpful and welcoming. Something that sets this studio apart from others are their props.

I think this is a great studio if you want more options for a slower or restorative yoga experience as well as those wanting to go deeper into proper technique. Iβve been taking classes in addition to my regular (non-yoga) workout schedule so I love that I can still take classes that take more effort as well as classes that make me feel productive without having to over do things in my body.

I went to Rising Lotus because I injured my back and could no longer go to my regular gym. I was hoping to find a slower pace and relief for my pain. My best friend joined me and we had one of the best experiences ever. We took advantage of the new student special and attended 10 classes over 21 days. I was mostly sticking to Easy does it with Rose and Level 1 yoga with Nina. Both were super comfortable for me and my back that was constantly in pain. I got to stretch the muscles I didnβt know existed and I just felt so relaxed and so easy. It didnβt feel like a workout, but taking care of your body essential needs. Sadly, my back didnβt improve BUT when I spoke about it with Rose, she recommended a chiropractor for my back. I went in, he fixed me and I found out that I couldnβt do yoga. So Iβm stopping for now but Iβm immensely grateful for the experience and for the connections I made. The teachers are incredibly kind and attentive, the front desk staff is friendly and welcoming, they take care of what you need every step of the way with the right equipment, pose variations and personal attention when you have pain areas. Iβm so happy I tried it and will definitely be back when Iβm better! Less

What distinguishes Rising Lotus is the flexibility that it offers via zoom--every class can be taken either online or in person. For someone pressed for time, this is such a great option. I get to do take all the yoga classes, without having to drive somewhere and back, and yet still have a sense of community and belonging. Not to mention that the teachers are all so lovable. I haven't made it to an in-person class yet, but I feel a strong connection to the teachers and I know I will go in person one day. Love it!!! Less

RLY is such a welcoming community and keeps me coming back and never wanting to leave--all the instructors, the variety of classes and levels, and the friendly atmosphere ... keeps me moving, breathing and positive. Thank you for the many years on the mat at the Studio and now that I'm out of state--WA, for the online classes which are so easy to sign up for and reserve. I am very grateful.... More

Moved from NY and found this great yoga haven. Instructors all come in from different angles for all level students. Very welcoming. Lucky find.
Nice, friendly and welcoming yoga studio with good teachers
This is a great studio for a novice Yogi like me. I took flow, restorative, and yin and really enjoyed every class. I took my classes during the week in the evening and slept very well afterwards!... More

Great instructors and vibe is all about connecting mind to body. A cleansing experience. Love this space!
I found Rising Lotus Yoga when I moved to the area in 2010. At this time, I had been practicing yoga for about ten years and had worked with some really good teachers, but none of them can compare to Claire Hartley.

I found Rising Lotus Yoga when I moved to the area in 2010. At this time, I had been practicing yoga for about ten years and had worked with some really good teachers, but none of them can compare to Claire Hartley. Her classes bring such depth to the practice. She is light-hearted, passionate about the practice, knowledgeable about anatomy, and is an absolutely brilliant teacher. Each class is designed to guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself. As you gain knowledge about your body, your compensation patterns, what you do instinctually when you are uncomfortable, you strengthen not only your body but also your mind. In Claire's class, I found the mind-body-soul connection. I bring the wisdom of her dharma talks into my daily life. I embody the peacefulness I find on my mat and take that out into the world with me. Claire has changed yoga for me. It is no longer just exercise. It is a way of living and of being present in this world.I have now practiced at Rising Lotus for many years. All the teachers are amazing. This is more than just a studio. It is a community and I am so grateful to have found it. Less
Amazing classes, teachers, facility and one of the few yoga places in LA that emphasize the spiritual / meditative aspect of yoga!
Such a great yoga studio. Beautiful space, amazing teachers, friendly and supportive staff. The first timer deal is awesome! Highly recommend.
I can express enough how amazing this studio is. I was in search of alternative to physical therapy post spinal fusion and after posting on a Facebook group about recommendations on yoga studios, Claire (owner) reached out and met with me to talk about the different classes with recommendations to start.

I can express enough how amazing this studio is. I was in search of alternative to physical therapy post spinal fusion and after posting on a Facebook group about recommendations on yoga studios, Claire (owner) reached out and met with me to talk about the different classes with recommendations to start. I started a few days later and my body immediately felt better. Every teacher makes sure to understand your personal needs, limitations and requested movements in every class. After a month of doing between 3-4 classes a week, I am feeling stronger all over. The other great aspect is they are welcoming of my teenage daughters attend classes too. Rising Lotus is overall a great studio for people at all levels and the care every teacher puts into making sure you are pushing yourself without hurting yourself. Less
I really enjoy Adinaβs Level 1 class. The pace and variety of poses is just what my body needs.
I love this place. I like all the teachers I have taken classes with here, in particular the Iyengar style teachers.As an aside, when I was trying to find a place to do Yoga, I read through the reviews of all the yoga schools near me. There were about 20 positive reviews and one negative review. I read the negative review and that made me decide that this is the place I want to go.... More

Not having much Yoga experience, I recently went with some friends to an Amazing Yoga retreat in Tennessee in the suburbs just outside of Nashville. I was in Heaven & discovered the teacher who was hosting the Retreat previously had a studio here locally in Burbank. I wanted to continue my new journey of Yoga similar to her teaching & asked her of a yoga studio locally. She referred me to a good friend of hers Emily Brohm who happens to teach at Rising Lotus in Sherman Oaks. So, I reached out & so happy I did!! Everyone Iβve met at the Studio including Emily, have been very warm and welcoming!! They are especially kind in helping you discover your own specific needs in any limitations you may have and always have modifications available for the less limber of us.. Iβve been at the Studio for about a month now loving every moment of it & excited to discover new growth in my journey! Shelley Rae πΊ Less
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Rising Lotus. I started with in-person classes, but adjusted to on-line as a precaution for Covid19 as I have elderly parents I visit weekly. I have found the classes at a pace I can aspire to as I had an elbow injury that took me away from yoga for a few months. I appreciate the accessibility and good communication.... More

I am taking time out of my busy schedule to write you about the ridiculous, awful end I had to the class I took with Lilia Mead at 10:45 on 1/18/18. The class was fine throughout. At the end during the close of class, Lilia began berating us with her political views.I am a client. I payed money to your company to meditate and do yoga. Not to hear some persons diatribe about the (and I quote) "Smuck in the Oval Office." What kinda business are you running that you allow your employees to speak about their personal political beliefs? This is Yoga, not the town hall. Its a place of mindfulness, not vitriolic ramblings at the closing of class. Everyone felt uncomfortable. We payed MONEY for your class!I want you to know that I will be leaving a negative review on yelp. I will be leaving a negative review on google. Clean up your business. If I ever hear that in another class of your business that I go to, I will be speaking up. It will be very uncomfortable as I felt after this yoyo started yapping about her beliefs.Dorit and Nina are great teachers. Professional and caring. This Lilia needs to be fired. I expect a clear and ample response from management about this. Less
