Yoga Daya

I went here pretty regularly for a month with a Groupon. I enjoyed it, it’s laid back. They may offer more fast pace work up a sweat classes but with my work hours I wasn’t able to make it to any. The instructors were always attentive and welcoming. If I wasn’t so broke I’d buy a regular membership.

I have been to many Yoga studios over the last 4 years. None compared to Yogadaya. The teachers are patient and knowledgeable. They notice when you have achieved even the smallest goal and constantly attend to each student so the positions are learned correctly. The best part is how they make personal adjustments so that each person is able to do each position even if they need some kind of special assistance, prop, or modification. My posture has improved, my lower back rarely hurts, and I feel better physically and emotionally!
As an added bonus the students themselves are kind and earnest!

I found this place on Unilocal and signed up for the new student $ 50 unlimited classes special on my first day. I have done yoga in the past but have not practiced in over a year and haven’t worked out AT ALL since giving birth. The beginners classes are perfect for getting back into shape and starting slow. I think I got lucky in that it’s the end of the month when they focus on restorative poses. I’ve taken Michelle’s class and Tulsi’s class so far. They have different teaching styles but both are great! It feels like a neighborhood yoga studio with a great vibe. Definitely recommend to any beginners or people who need to get back into yoga after a break!

I have ventured to different yoga studios in the Culver City area and have yet to downward dog in one that beats this space. I bought a Groupon of ten classes and found all the instructors I took classes with quite good.
The majority of my classes were with Michelle Mansfield and I can’t recommend her enough. She is an attentive, amiable and excellent instructor. She also gives out very clear instructions!
Just go!

Highly recommended if you are new to Yoga and/​or Pilates. I leave feeling stronger & peaceful both physically and emotionally!
When the Plunge (City Pool) closed for 6 weeks needed another activity and found this studio on Groupon. I went to visit and realized the $ 50 unlimited month new student special was better then Groupon. I signed up and got hooked.
Parking is so easy and FREE — a big deal for this west sider as well as the Bathroom is clean & Studio is clean
I take Tulsi & Michelle 10:30am beginning yoga Mon-​Thur. I enjoy how each teaches with such care & confidence. I feel encouraged every time and leave feeling stronger, more peaceful and committed to caring for my personal well being.
Claire A teaches Pilates on Saturday and she is another excellent teacher with such a strong peaceful aura.
After taking the class for the month, I am now a member of the studio and I get to attend classes 4 – 5 times a week. I am grateful!

Yoga Daya is a hidden yoga studio in Palms/​Culver City. It is located right on top of CVS. Parking is easy, large and free! There are two parking choices — the huge parking lot in front of CVS or on the second floor (parking entrance is on the east side of Venice Blvd).
I had a Groupon voucher for this studio for one month of unlimited yoga. The yoga studio itself is two stories. The first story is the front desk, bathroom and cubbies to put your shoes. The second floor is the actual yoga space. The studio is very modern and clean! No smelly floors or props!
All the classes I have attended are pretty small and ranged from 2 – 6 people. Also, most of the classes I have taken here are pretty much a level 1 class and don’t allow for much playtime. If you are new to yoga, you will love these classes! However, if you are looking for more of a challenge or like to sweat, you might be bored with these classes like me. I really wish they would offer more challenging classes. During the Winter, I really wished they amped up the heat in the yoga room.

I’ve tried yoga many times but it never clicked. I’m used to working out but needed something new. This studio has a great combination of peaceful vibe and dedicated instructors. The classes are guided from start to finish — verbally and with gentle physical corrections — so you never wonder if you’re going in the right direction (especially if you’re a n00b like me). Started on a groupon and joined immediately.

Have come here 3 times now, one for a Beginner’s Class and twice for Flow Classes. Small studio but very clean and beautiful. Ample parking in front of the studio is also a huge plus. Though I come here as my secondary studio when I’m working in the area I absolutely love it here and will continue once my Groupon package is up. Classes are very very small which is nice as there is always room for peaceful practice. Because it is an iyengar based Studio many of the instructors utilize the wall ropes and there are plenty of props for everyone. Highly recommend

Went to my first class today was great! Amazing little spot they have with a neat view. Class had a steady flow and still was zen like ! Parkings a breeze would recommend to all.

As someone who has NEVER done any yoga in her life, it can be very intimidating. However, for new customers you can get your first month of unlimited classes for $ 50 so I signed up.
The location is small — I expected yoga studios to be bigger, but its nice. Remember to speak quietly! I always feel like I’m too loud or I speak too fast. Oops.
But I’ve been to several classes and have liked it so far. And even after one week I was able to touch my toes! Holy crap.
My favorite instructors are Tulsi and Stephanie :)

After practicing yoga since I was 16, I’m convinced that
1. Iyengar yoga is best for my body, and
2. Ida Unger is my favorite Iyengar teacher
Calm, sweet, strong and compassionate, Ida is a truly great teacher. Her Yoga Garden Studio was my practice home until Ida moved in 2008; I am so glad to re-​discover her at Yoga Daya.
Yoga Daya has no street noise, beautiful
floors, perfectly clean and artfully arranged props and very pleasant staff. It is the perfect mix of old school and modern and there are smooth rocks in between the floor’s wood sections.
As a new student, I paid $ 50 for my first month of unlimited class. Prices are not bad. Oh, and there is PLENTY of free parking, a real plus. A good place all around.

I just went to my first class at Yoga Daya and I had such a wonderful experience!
I’m coming back to yoga after about a year off so I started with the Beginners Yoga class with Michelle. She is such a talented and intuitive teacher and she was the perfect re-​introduction to my yoga practice.
Plus, the space was peaceful and quite with lots of natural light, the woman at the reception desk was wonderfully pleasant, and they offer a deal for new clients ($ 20 for a week of unlimited classes) so I will definitely be back to try out their other classes/​instructors!
Wonderful experience — this is a great yoga studio!

Yoga daya is a lovely place to take time out of your day for a little pilates or yoga.
I’ve taken several classes since I bought the New Student offer = $ 50 for a full month of unlimited classes.
The lunchtime yin yoga is just the thing for deepening your stretch and your breath, renewing your energy for the rest of the day.
Pilates class moves swiftly and before you know it you’ve gotten a good core workout — she incorporates the use of rollers during the class, as well as the ring and bands — which makes for an all-​over strengthening and stretch.
The space looks small — like a tree house (!) but can hold more folks than you would think.
Staff and owner are kind, helpful and authentic.
Daya means compassion — they have it in spades!

I have to agree with one of the previous reviewers that this place is a true hidden gem.
Pros:
–A great yoga studio; intimate, bright, and clean. It doesn’t have that «funk» that some other studios have. The bathroom is always immaculate.
–Classes are smallish so you tend to get a lot more individual attention. I’ve had 5 or 6 different teachers there and each one of them were completely awesome. It’s literally a dream team of instructors.
–A good thing about this location is it has tons of free parking. You will never park further than 40 feet from the front door.
Cons;
–Nada
Here’s to my little oasis above CVS. :)

I must say that this is probably one of Culver City’s hidden gems! First, there is ample parking. For anyone that lives on the Westside you know what a bonus this is. The studio is bright and cheery (the restroom is impeccably fresh). The instructor are simply amazing. They are calming and caring — exactly what you would expect from a yoga instructor. I would recommend that you come here but I would rather keep this secret to myself. :)

This yoga studio is my escape from reality :) Every teacher here is incredible and unique in their own way. I personally love the lunchtime classes since I work close to the studio. The lunchtime teachers are amazing! The environment is clean and cozy — you feel like its your OWN studio which is so nice… because of the smallish class sizes, you really do get personal attention so you can perfect your form and improve! I love Yoga Daya and have nothing but great things to say. :)

I am new to Iyengar yoga, and I am extremely happy i found yoga Daya.
I have taken most of the morning classes and the teachers are excellent. Small size classes, every teacher makes an effort to bring the best out of you.
I agree with the review that says that you leave feeling like you just got a deep tissue massage.
I am currently going under medical treatment and all the teachers have been EXTREMELY attentive to my needs, including adapting poses when not feeling 100%, and pushing me to my max when feeling healthy and strong. I appreciate the time they take to make my body and mind stronger every day.
I feel very well taken care of.
Highly recommend this studio!

This studio is great. It has a fabulous view, GREAT free, easy parking and incredible teachers. I have taken from Tulsi, Vraj, and Vlad and they were all extremely experienced and I felt safe.
