I love this studio! I have been a member for almost a year and been meaning to write this review. The variety of classes is the best of any studio I’ve been to. From intense flow to chill classes (try the Somatic yoga!!) there is truly something for whatever I need each day. The teachers are amazing. Beautiful studio with couches to hang out and drink the complimentary tea after class. It’s such a nice place to go!

I absolutely love One Down Dog! Their yoga classes are energizing and grounding, and Dylan’s sound baths are pure magic - such a great reset for the mind and body. On top of that, the front desk staff is the best: always warm, welcoming, and on top of everything. Every visit feels like a treat. Highly recommend!

I look forward to taking classes here when I'm in town. The space is lovely, and the flow classes offer a nice variety of poses and options. I always leave feeling nicely rinsed and refreshed. The instructors are super cool as well, and give great verbal instructions, and hands-on adjustments if you want them.

This is my favorite yoga studio in LA. Each location is beautiful and clean and makes you feel so welcome; they even have tea and a communal library at the East Hollywood location! Everyone is incredibly nice and cool, and the variety of classes that they offer is unbeatable. I've tried basically all of them--FIT, Flow, Slow Flow, Yin, Yoga Nidra. They have an amazing intro offer, too--I've been doing it and it's made me absolutely fall in love with yoga. Thank you to all the teachers, especially Natalie, Monica, Sarah, and Elisa!

I've been attending classes at this studio for a few months now and I have to say it's one of my favorites. A large, naturally lit studio, no mirrors, good selection of classes every day and great teachers. Everything feels very modern and clean. I love Natalie and Nate's classes. Parking available above Ross. There is a sketchy stairwell from the parking lot to the sidewalk that I recommend avoiding, and instead take the Ross stairwell.

I’ve been going to one down dog on and off for years; as sad as I was to see the silver Lake location go away, I am so happy about their move to Hollywood. It’s a convenient location, there’s easy parking and the studio has been thoughtfully built out. As far as the classes and the teachers, no matter the location, you’re always going to get something great – it’s a very welcoming community that’s open to all types of people and all levels of yoga. It never feels exclusive.

I love this studio. The skylight in the main room is a really nice touch (can’t stand fluorescent lighting). Can’t go wrong with the free green tea either.

Every class has been challenging (even the slow flow) but in a good way. The instructors have all been super solid.

Katherine’s Tuesday + Thursday flow class is perfect for intermediates with a desire to grow/improve.

I highly recommend!

Just took a the most well rounded yoga class probably ever. Led by the incredible Katherine, in East Hollywood. How someone was able to incorporate meditation, visualizations, a challenging yet supportive flow, time and space to practice advanced postures, and a restful savasana, IN ONE HOUR, defies laws of time. Anyway. I cried at the end. It was embarrassing. 100/10 would recommend.

I have been attending classes at the Echo Park location for a few months and I absolutely adore this studio. I have criteria for yoga studios in order for me to attend 1. diversity in students 2. diversity in teachers 3. weekly classes that are donation or no charge to make it more accessible, and One Down Dog checks all of those boxes. They even have classes specifically for different populations (Latinx, AAPI, black individuals, etc.) which I think is wonderful for building a sense of community in a world that can be...hateful.. Every teacher I've been to is different from one another and each fantastic in their own right. I've attended Natalie, Lani, Jess (also the owner), Cindy, and Vanessa's classes and each are great for different reasons. There are a lot of times to choose from, which is great for my crazy schedule, and the front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. Carmen remembered my name after two visits, and noticed when I got my haircut, maybe I'm lonely from the pandemic but both warmed my heart lol. I really can't say enough good things about this yoga studio. I'm usually very picky and I'd give this studio 10/10.

This place is EXTREMELY RACIST. I've been scared and horrified for months, that experience haunted me.

They don't even bother to act, they don't even bother to do the virtue signaling. They say it clear and loud with a beautiful smile on their faces.

If they can't remove my review, they would try real hard to find another black girl, or any type of colored student. They will give her discounts, memberships, and even promise her that she will be a teacher there. All she needs to do is to write good reviews, telling everybody how BIPOC friendly One Down Dog is.
White people would happily believe it, and feel good about themselves again.

Love this yoga studio. It's a veritable sanctuary & community within the watered-down, workout-first-breathe-second yoga that LA has come to represent. The teaches are well-trained, actually speak to anatomy in the classes, and are inspirational.

I have been doing yoga since I was 15 (so, 22 years), and I've never encountered a studio that puts so much effort and love into their classes, communication, and culture. This feels like a community, and I came to it via Zoom during a pandemic...so I can only imagine how vibrant it is outside of this insane time. I can't recommend ODD enough.

This truly is the most wonderful yoga studio. The staff is so kind and the teachers are very understanding and offer playful, unique flows. They offer so many different classes so whether you want an intense workout or a peaceful meditation, they've got you covered! I love that even in the more intense classes, the atmosphere is still very encouraging and joyful. I've been to other studios in LA, but they all seemed so snooty, ODD on the other hand is so playful and wacky and really just so so lovely. Please check it out and support this wonderful studio!!

Why did I wait so long to check this place out?
After a text from a coworker goaded me into walking the two blocks to the studio, a buddy of mine that I ran into at a class confirmed that this was one of the most affordable and well rounded studios in the area.
Taking advantage of the unlimited classes with the new student special, I tried just about everything, and I can say that One Down Dog offers a large selection of classes that range from upbeat and challenging to restorative, meditative, and attentive to the needs of folks who are dealing with injuries. I don't see myself ever needing to take the Prenatal or Baby&Me classes, but they're there if you want them.
The teachers are all knowledgeable, and more than one has helped adjust my props and poses when I didn't even realize that I was struggling or misaligned. It's nice to have an encouraging voice guiding your practice, even if some days you'd prefer an eternal sleep to a Twisting Half Moon.
High fives all around.

Update (5/15/18)
Ok, I've now been a student here for just over a year, so I can share a little of that perspective.
After an unfortunate back-snapping incident last summer where my ego met a bounce house, I can honestly say that I don't know where I'd be without the teachers and space that O.D.D. provides. This group is impressively knowledgeable (Ducky is a back pain & injury prevention wizard), and they all constantly (and mindfully) switch up sequences in all the various classes to encourage an expanding and playful practice.
If you're looking for more of a challenge, there's no shortage of classes that offer explorations of strength and balance. (Pro tip: Some of the evening classes fill up, so use their app to preregister. Some of the afternoon classes are sparse enough that they basically turn into workshops. Both situations are highly motivational.)
As if all that weren't enough, they continually offer monthly workshops (self-massage w/therapy balls, 2-hour all-in practices, etc.) as well as a variety of retreats (rock climbing in Joshua Tree, trips to Mexico & Spain).
Go check out the space, and take advantage of the new student special.

Love love love them. I was a beginner two years ago - first time doing yoga. This place is awesome, clean, and there is simply and importantly a sense of community you don't get out there. Everybody is super friendly and again, it is all about a lovely healthy environment. My favorite teachers are Molly, Caitlin, Courtney and Adam. Haven't tried other teachers that often but love them all. Do yourself a favor and stop by! You will not want to leave

One Down Dog is amazing!

No pretentious yoga here (been there, quit that). All heart, sweat and fun! Arielle is my favorite when I want to get my ass kicked. She has a way with words (English teacher). Brianna pieces together beautiful flows. Adam soothes me like a baby. His chill and meditation combo has changed my life. Bobbi's restore is like a guided group nap. I've literally loved every teacher I have tried.

Signed up through groupon, stayed for the lovely teachers and killer playlists. (Doesn't hurt that I can walk there...)

Wonderful yoga studio! Each teacher is great and unique. Classes are familiar with a unique twist. Breaking into dance mid class is just one fun treat! Read the descriptions of each class but don't be intimated you can definitely modify for all levels. The teachers always encourage you to do what you're able to do. From super relaxing to super sweaty this place has it all. Sweat with Arielle and Jessica, Sculpt with Alexis and Chill with Bobbi are just a few of my favorites. Great community, friendly staff, beautiful studio and amazing classes! Locations in Silverlake and Eagle Rock. Plus they have amazing package prices! Honestly the absolute best yoga studio I have ever been to!!

One Down Dog is the cutest studio, and the classes are unique (and uniquely named :) ). I like how there aren't different levels, so that won't inhibit your own class schedule (like "I'm a level 3 Vinyasa yogi, so this level 1 isn't worth my time".. no! You can go to class regardless of your level!). Cool shop, cool studio, street parking has been easy when I've gone (but there's also a parking lot). Finally, it's not a super-bougie yoga studio, but just enough spiritual gangster so you know you're in LA. Love ODD.

This is my studio. I checked out quite a few before I found ODD. I don't know if it was the inviting and community-focused atmosphere, the variety and expert teaching, or the fun yet hugely relevant workshops that sucked me in, but I am a complete addict now. Do yourself a favor and check out the intro monthly unlimited special. See for yourself how awesome a yoga studio can be!

I am a 18-year practitioner of yoga and spent years teaching and owned a yoga studio for 5 years back east years before. I moved to Los Angeles recently and was looking for a place to practice and have a community. I was looking to check out yoga places in my area and that's when I found One Down Dog, via a Groupon for $50 for a 10 class card. It seemed to be a great deal and I was looking forward to practicing.

Unfortunately, I had a hiking accident and sprained my ankle and I'm still not healed, with multiple tendon problems in my ankle area and wrist, as well as back. It took a month to walk unassisted by crutches and I'm in pain everyday. I am also going into debt with medical expenses and this is not easy for me, a person who loves to use my body.

The Groupon was going to expire after the summer. ( I didn't realize then that you could just use the $50 credit then.) After I was able to limp around, I went to One Down Dog to activate the Groupon because it was going to expire and thought I could take some restorative and gentle classes. Every time I looked at the app, I didn't see restorative classes (it was later pointed out that they have few, only on certain days and I was probably looking on days that they didn't have them.)

I took some "Chill" classes, which were NOT chill for a person with an injury (not like the gentle yoga classes I have taught) and did modifications but found the weight on my wrist and ankle to be too much even with modifications. I had to leave the class before it finished and found afterward that the swelling increased and I was barely able to walk after taking a class.

I waited to take another class. A teacher friend recommended using push up helpers to modify so I made another 2 attempts during the 3 months that didn't ended well. I had to seek more pain management with acupuncture and X-rays and tests with Western doctors and should not have tried. I was sad to not to get to practice.

My class-card was ending mid-month, and I felt badly to not to get to use them. My elderly father went into the hospital and we had a bad scare my cat was diagnosed with cancer and pneumonia, my class card was about to expire. I went in to the Silverlake studio to ask for an extension and was referred by the nice desk person to email Liza.

Liza took TWO WEEKS to respond to my email, a week AFTER EXPIRATION of my class card and said, "I have no leeway with Groupon and am unable to extend the expiration date however I would be happy to throw in some free classes if you purchase a class package with the studio! We have a 10 class ($150) and a 20 class ($240)."

As a former studio owner, I know that she could have easily changed my expiration date on their system. It wasn't with Groupon any longer. They had converted to their class card system. So after spending $50 and not being able to really practice and worsening my injury, I'm asked to spend an additional $150 or $240 to get some free classes. This sounds like a mercenary gym or an online scam, not a yoga studio.

I would've done better to just have let the Groupon expire and get credit there. Maybe I could've bought some yoga pants or some books.

I don't have a very good feeling about the place as it doesn't seem to have values that I felt important to yoga such as community support, karma yoga, and compassion. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be returning after I recover. I did feel kicked when I was down and I could never imagine doing that to anyone when you have the choice not to. I hope my sharing this will encourage them to improve their customer service and to be kind to people who are in need of kindness.
