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.

SUNDAY NIGHT UNWIND W/ NICH
SUNDAY 5:00-6:30 PM
End your weekend with intention and ease.
This 90-minute Sunday Unwind class begins with 60 minutes of grounding Hatha yoga, moving through steady, accessible postures and mindful breathwork to release tension, build gentle strength, and reset your body after the week.
We then transition into 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra, a deeply restorative guided meditation practiced lying comfortably at rest. Often called “yogic sleep,” Nidra helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and bring the body and mind into profound relaxation.
Perfect for all levels.
