Making Practice more Affordable at 502 Power Yoga I came across a song before teaching the other night called “ Meditation for Chaotic Times (by East Forest), and it felt like a metaphor for what 502 Power Yoga is for folks these days. Between financial strain, uncertainty, and the daily stress of navigating it all, it’s easy to lose touch with the grounding practices that help us stay steady. At 502 Power Yoga, we believe that a regular yoga practice is essential to help us find peace in the chaos , and that cost should never be the reason someone can’t roll out their mat. That’s why instead of raising prices like so many businesses are being forced to do right now, we’re taking a few steps to make yoga more affordable for our community right now: 💸 Throwback Drop-In Rate: $16 Classes For select classes, we’re rolling back the clock to our 2014 drop-in rate — just $16 per class! Watch our online schedule and the Walla App to see which classes are discounted. Classes will be discounted based on available space in the class, and discounts are subject to change over time.
After announcing that our East End Studio is closing at the end of April , we received lots of feedback and requests on our proposed schedule updates for the Highlands Studio. We are pleased to reveal the new schedule effective May 1, 2024!
Pre-pandemic, I was in growth & expansion mode. My vision for 502 Power Yoga was to open multiple studios around the city, expanding our franchise and spreading the power of yoga. However, the Coronavirus Pandemic caused a deep examination of my life and the business. I heard this parable somewhere along the way and it dawned on me: Expansion was not truly what I wanted for myself or my family. I want to live the life of the Fisherman. Not the businessman. It was time to return to my roots: Teaching yoga in a small, community-oriented environment with a tight-knit (and kickass) team.
How do I know what to expect from a yoga class?
Short answer: Yoga is a practice that calms the storms of the mind to create mental clarity. Long answer: Ask a few random people what they think yoga is, and you’ll get a variety of answers. And, they are probably all right. However, they may only be seeing one small piece of the whole because the practice of yoga is much richer than most people realize. Myself included. I attended my first yoga class at Santa Monica Power Yoga in 2007 because I thought it would be a great stretching routine to complement my running. I kept attending because I appreciated the calorie burn and how good it made my body feel. As my yoga class attendance increased and my mileage decreased, I began to understand that there was much, MUCH more to this practice than some poses in a hot room. Fifteen years later, I am still discovering the complexities and depth of this ancient practice. The fact that it makes my body feel good is the icing on the cake.
Why we started Virtual classes in the first place
Tonight we hosted an Info Session for our 2024 Tulum Yoga Retreat! Here is a recap of the items covered in our meeting:
One of our favorite frequently asked questions (FFAQ): What kind of yoga mat should I get? You could ask a room of 30 yogis this question and you’ll get 30 different answers 😅
