One Down Dog

Like Oprah loves bread, I love yoga… and bread. Bout that life. Luckily there’s a pizza place on the corner of the same block of this yoga studio. I used to take a Buti class in Pasadena at a now closed studio, however I finally took Karen’s class and it did not disappoint! I love this class! I go to yoga here and there and do yoga at home, but today I felt that I needed to switch it up and I’m happy I did. Being fit is great and maintaining your body and spirit is good for you. Karen’s class amped up all of that for me with a fun playlist and moves which, well, your man will thank you later. She as an instructor and the students in class are so uplifting which I love. From the moment you check in at the front desk with the sweet lady to the end of your yoga sesh, you will leave with a happier and enlightened sense of self and a better body and sharper and clearer mind. This whole yoga studio and classes I’ve taken are wonderful. I’m glad I went this evening. On a Tuesday.

My sister and I wanted to take a yoga class and she found a studio in our neck of the woods. We have never taken a yoga class and we were pretty stoked. Staff is very welcoming, and the atmosphere is chill. We only went to three classes because beginner classes aren’t offered often. If you are a beginner, do not come to this studio. Everything is so advanced, people that attend this studio seem like they have been practicing yoga for years. Unless you know all the poses, don’t come to this studio.

If I wanted a Pilates class, I’d have gone to one. This is not yoga. Some of the moves are downright dangerous and quite advanced. Classes are enormous and the music is LOUD!

I love the vibe of this place.
The instructors were amazing and gave good variations for a inflexible non-​yogi like myself.
I will definitely be coming back.
Namaste :)

Found this studio via groupon and learned it’s walking distance from my house!
So far I have taken a Flow, Chill, and Sweat class based on how I’m feeling that day. I like the fact that no 2 classes or instructors teaching style are the same and involve various equipment options. The instructors are very easy going and helpful. I use their app for easy booking and cancelling classes as well.
The merchandise they carry is so cute from the jewelry to the premium activewear. I may get a short term membership after my groupon is up!

This place is awesome! I signed up through a groupon deal for 10 classes and have been to one class so far. The front desk staff was super friendly and helpful and the instructor was extremely helpful and able to give great pointers and set a relaxing mood and atmosphere. I took the chill class which I highly recommend to unwind at the end of a long day. I felt that I had an excellent workout, mind body and soul, and I’m looking forward to taking more classes!

I came here after hearing rave reviews from friends and buying a groupon. Usually when my groupon ends so do my visits, but I actually bought classes to keep coming back. That’s how nice ODD is. I’ve only been to this location and the studio can get pretty warm since it’s not that ventilated. I love how many classes are offered throughout the week which makes them easy to fit in to your schedule. You don’t have to sign up for classes ahead of time and can just show up, which makes things even easier. The sweat class is no joke and felt less like yoga and more like bootcamp. I really enjoy the Flow classes. The Chill classes are pretty nice and not overly chill to the point where you just take a nap. There are many teachers so you can find one who jives best with you. My absolute favorite teacher by far is Ducky and I highly recommend you take at least one class with her. Some teachers are more «hippy» than others, but overall the studio does not give off that new agey vibe if that turns you off. There is only street parking available and I can usually find a spot on Caspar.

The Eagle Rock location of One Down Dog is my favorite place to practice yoga in Los Angeles. I don’t know what it is — the large room with plenty of natural light, the eclectic crowd of ages and body types who practices here, the extremely friendly front desk staff? It’s all working. And unlike the Silver Lake location, the temperature of the studio seems to be much more consistent. It never feel too swamp-​like, even after a vigorous vinyasa sequence.
I love Ducky and Audrey’s classes. Both teachers offer adjustments and modifications for injuries while explaining the physiology behind their suggestions. I’ve also highly recommend Buti with Karen (who is possibly the nicest person in the world) and Chill with Maureen (who understands how to put together a wonderful playlist).
Plenty of street parking — and if you’re running late, the pay lot is a great option.

I’ve been coming to ODD in Silverlake for a couple of years and got to see this location on its first day open for class. I was pleasantly surprised then and have only become more impressed by the wonderful teachers they’ve added to the roster. I love too many of them to name all of them but have had some memorable experiences in jessica (rosen)‘s sweaty ass class, adam’s chill and mind classes, yoni and molly’s tough strong and align classes and any of maureen’s classes. The studio is friendly and has so much variety I’m still enjoying learning new things about yoga and myself after 10+ years of practice.

I highly recommend this yoga studio & this one in particular. I have been to the silverlake studio because there was a class I wanted to take there that they didn’t have in eagle rock that night and I will tell you I really encourage everyone to go to the eagle rock one.
What I love about it is that they do one class at a time and the space is huge! The main reason why I like that they only do one class at a time is because if you’re taking a class and there’s another class right next door, it can get a bit distracting. It is so spacious compared to the Silverlake location. It also helps that this studio is seriously about less than 5 mins away from where I live, how convenient is that!
I’ve never really done yoga before and would have never considered myself one to really care for it or do it as often as I do, but I love it. All I can say is every single time I take a class I always leave feeling much lighter and so refreshed and ready to take on the day or get a good nights sleep if I take a later class. And my boyfriend LOVES IT HERE. He’s never seen himself as one to even LIKE yoga, let alone want to do a class every day.
The atmosphere here is great, everyone is ridiculously friendly and super approachable. So whatcha waiting for! Get your booty on down to ODD ASAP!

Put simply; I feel at home here. When it comes to yoga, fitness & fun, ODD has it down! No matter what your goal is, One Down Dog will help you reach it. ODD offers a wide range of different level classes and teachers that are willing and able to guide you through your yoga journey. This community of yogis is full of love and strength and helps build up one another with kindness, compassion and motivation.

My husband and I LOVE this studio! Everyone here is great — my personal «must-​attend» classes are Sweat with Audrey (she’ll kick your booty in the best possible way!) and Sweat with Courtney (she plays hip hop and is super down to earth and fun). Also love Lauren at the front desk — super sweet & friendly every time to come in. I’ve been to both locations but Eagle Rock is much more my vibe.

I’ve been trying to contact this place and I have yet to receive a response!
I called and left a message.
I have emailed the company website twice.
Maybe it’s a clue stating how this place is run!
It’s too bad. I really wanted to try their classes.

This place is so fun. The staff is friendly and helpful. I’m looking forward to every class. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun yoga spot.

I recommend One Down Dog to anybody who has ever thought «Yoga’s not for me.» I have tried Yoga in the past but never got into it. I felt it was too slow and boring. But I gave One Down Dog a try and I absolutely love it. I particular like the Sweat and Sculpt classes which are more fast-​paced and dynamic than the typical Yoga classes.
Besides the variety of classes, ODD has amazing instructors. I have found all the instructors to be excellent and super friendly. They really do a great job of creating a welcoming and supportive environment.
Another bonus is that you can take classes at both their Eagle Rock and Silverlake studios — between the two locations, you will find a class that fits your schedule any day of the week!

One Down Dog is a great place. Really can’t say enough good things about Jessica and the community that she has built. I’m picky about yoga instructors and don’t care for many but I’ve never taken a class with one I didn’t like at ODD.
I highly recommend the sweat and strong classes.

Overall I’d go with a 3.5. This is one of those westernized studios where yoga is practiced as physical exercises rather than a path practiced by yogis traditionally for a spiritual aim. Where you’d hear less OM but more of ‘you can do it’. While the stripped down method of practice ensues either sweat or well being, depends on which types of classes you take, one goes away with a gym session.
The classes are provided as SWEAT, CHILL, FLOW, BUTI… etc. I find the classes tend to go sweaty except CHILL. Never found BUTI (as dance and shake buti?) my kind of tea. One issue I noticed in the classes here is that they tend to do the same set of postures 2 or 3 times in the stretch of an hour+ instead of going through once (as in each asana done 2 to 3 times in a complete series). In the other word, you’d be doing chair 3×2 = 6 times while taking 3~4 breaths in each pose. I find this class structure overworks certain parts of the body while ignoring other parts of body, which might be benefitted from more varieties of asanas.
Easy street parking makes it an easier trip.

Great yoga near my hood! Situated in the wonderfully busy intersection of Colorado Blvd and Eagle Rock Blvd, ODD provides a hip space for a variety of practices. THe long hallway provide cubbies for everyone’s belongings. The Front Desk, which is more like a Middle Desk, has a friendly staff member to greet you. When you sign up for classes, you’re given a little ODD plastic key fob with barcode that scans your info in for easy check-​in! So cool! Near the Middle Desk is a bunch of items for sale — from yoga clothing to mats to jewelry from local artisans.
I love that they provide different types of yoga to satisfy every person’s needs! So far I’ve gone to 1 SWEAT class and 2 FLOW classes. Sweat was pretty good — definitely hard work and I look forward to the next time I’ll attend. Flow classes with Jessica are great — she’s very focused yet mixes things up. It doesn’t feel like you’re doing a ton of moves, but you’re working hard and well at the ones you are doing. Yoga is no fun when it’s boring and ODD is not boring!

I am super glad that ODD is in the neighborhood – never stepped foot in the place that was there before (Core Yoga?) and never felt the desire. But I liked ODD in Silver Lake (Ellina Kim is a fantastic teacher!) and am happy it’s in ER now.
I’ve been practicing for over a decade and I’m particular about teachers. I’ve tried 4 at ODD so far and 2 I would not return to, sadly. They seemed green – one paid too much attention to the music she played and spoke too much about her injury. The other played music too loud. Neither did adjustments, offered modifications, nor seemed seasoned in a way that I feel makes a good teacher. If I’m going to pay $ 12-​$ 20 (!) a class, it’s gotta be good! But the heart of the matter truly is that good teachers who know anatomy, alignment, modifications, etc. make good students who learn how to do the poses without injuring themselves and causing ongoing discomfort.
Ducky and Molly are fantastic! Their classes are challenging, but not over the top, and they are know what they’re talking about.
I’m excited to find more teachers I click with at ODD – super glad it’s here!
(PS — here’s hoping ODD loses the artwork that’s outside and inside the studio – it’s not at all appealing)

I am in LOVE with One Down Dog in Eagle Rock. I bought the new student discount (30 days of unlimited yoga for $ 40!) and have been trying lots of classes. That’s one of my favorite things about this studio: the variety. There’s something for everyone! If you want a more relaxed class, try Chill. If you want to get your butt kicked, take a Sweat or Flow class. I personally like more of a workout, so I enjoy Sweat the most. And again, every time I take a class, there’s been something new, different, and challenging! I’ve been to other studios in the area where the classes tend to stay the same each time, but I love that ODD keeps me on my toes (literally!) ;)
I also love the community. The instructors are wonderful: super welcoming and also very motivating. They know when to push you if they see you’re ready for it. And the classes aren’t too crowded here, which makes for more personalized attention.
I love this place. Welcome to the neighborhood, ODD!
