A place where only love and beauty exist. There is zero judgment. Always welcomed with a smile and a hug. Chant, dance, pray, learn and of course practice yoga.
Monday night Kirtan is nothing short of magical! Flow classes and my personal favorite yin/restorative classes are taught with love.

This place is really an amazing yoga temple. Not just a yoga studio

I attended the Blue Whale Sound Journey and was really disappointed.

I can't speak for the yoga classes here but as a venue for soundbaths, Bhakti Yoga Shala fell way short.

The coordinator who ran the soundscape seemed good but I really couldn't tell because after the breathing and meditation warm-up -- the yoga studio's employee who collected donations at the beginning and was participating in the ceremony -- fell asleep... then snored loudly throughout the whole thing!

The healer tried to wake him with sound and when that didn't work another participant tried patting him on the head. But that didn't work either!

He basically drowned out the whole sound.

To make matters worse, the commercial eateries next door were blasting loud music in the courtyard that was a terrible distraction.

So instead of a relaxing time it was incredibly frustrating.

While the event sounded good on paper, the unprofessionalism of the studio employee and the inability to block the outside sound made it a huge letdown.

Bhakti Yoga Shala is full of love, sunshine and wonderful souls. This is a donation-based yoga and kirtan studio in the heart of downtown Santa Monica. The recommended gift is between $15-$20 but you can donate via cash, Venmo, Paypal or credit card.

If you're interested in learning more about the Bhakti Yoga style, then this is the perfect place for your practice.

There is truly a loving community at Bhakti Yoga Shala that is open to all people and skill levels.

Bhakti Yoga shala is a divine and spiritual hub.Govindas and his wife Radha welcome everyone irrespective of faiths to come over and be present through kirtan or yoga ..whatever works for people.I personally go there for my spiritual practice of kirtan ..i don't live in Santa Monica otherwise i would be there every day..
Well done Govindas and Radha for inviting me to the most blissful place on earth.
Govindas and his wife are also accomplished musicians ..performing kirtan there most weekend nights along with a host of other talented musicians.
I love this place ..wish there were more like this.attendance is by donations which are accepted gratuitously but i have never been turned away for not donating...I highly recommend Bhakti Yoga shala for yoga classes or kirtan enthusiasts.
