Rooted in Practice. Driven by Soul.
Yoga is a journey of connection, not a commodity. Yoga Changes is a grassroots, teacher-run yoga studio in Santa Monica, born from the deep legacy of the original YogaWorks Montana avenue location. We have returned to the heart of the practice: a sanctuary where lineage, community, and spirit come first.
Whether you are seeking a strong alignment-focused flow, searching for the best beginners yoga classes in Santa Monica, or looking for a restorative, gentle yoga practice to soothe your nervous system, you have found your tribe.
WHAT DEFINES US
The Wisdom of Experience: Our studio was founded by senior, legacy YogaWorks teachers who helped shape the Santa Monica yoga community, and every single teacher on our schedule brings decades of deep study and teaching experience to the mat. We honor a shared lineage of anatomical precision, depth, and safety. No matter whose class you take, you are under the guidance of a seasoned expert.
Accessible to Every Body: From foundational classes perfect for yoga beginners to deep, seasoned practices, we believe a supportive environment is essential. This is a space where your practice can evolve safely at your own pace.
A True Santa Monica Community: We are a dedicated gathering of students who support one another. This is a neighborhood sanctuary where you are known by name.
