This year, I enrolled in the Yoga Teacher Training at Rising Lotus Yoga, and it has completely transformed my life. 💫
Claire, the owner and our incredible teacher, has guided us with so much love and wisdom, and I’m endlessly grateful for the beautiful community she’s created. I’ve made so many amazing friends, it honestly feels like family here. 💕
Every teacher at the studio teaches from the heart . You can feel their passion, kindness, and unity in every class.
Rising Lotus Yoga isn’t just a place to practice; it’s a sanctuary for growth, healing, and connection. So grateful to be part of this beautiful journey. 🪷✨

Ohhhhh my goodnesssss! This studio changed my life! I did the 200hr yoga teacher training. Claire is incredible with anatomy and I was actually interested in what she was teaching and how she teaches. It’s so informative and completely changed my body, my posture and my breathing!!!! My life is different. I feel so empowered to teach yoga and to bring a new approach of biomechanics and breath to the yoga industry and the wellness scene. Thank you to Daniel and Claire both for bringing th most powerful and practical YTT I could have ever dreamed of. Wildly transformative and totally what I needed to ground me deeply into my root chakra. If you’re thinking about a 200 hr this is honestly the place to do it!!! I love you guys! LETS GOO RISING LOTUS!

I’ve only taken one class so far, but I really enjoyed it! The Ganesha room is super spacious, which was great because even though the class was full, it didn’t feel crowded at all. They provide blankets, pillows, and blocks, which made the experience even more comfortable. The instructor was friendly and gave helpful guidance, and the woman at the front desk was welcoming.

Rising Lotus Yoga's Teacher Training program is nothing short of transformative. The instructors offer a perfect balance of wisdom, compassion, and deep-rooted knowledge that creates a truly supportive and inspiring environment. Every session felt intentional and grounded in tradition, yet totally accessible and empowering. I walked away not just with the tools to teach, but with a stronger sense of self and a lifelong connection to the practice.

Rising Lotus has completely changed how I feel about myself since joining this past month. My 30 years of yoga practice came to a halt when COVID hit. Beginning my yoga practice again at Rising Lotus has literally made me feel like I’ve come home to my body again. The teachers are skillful and precise and the classes leave you feeling transformed.

Rising Lotus Yoga is one of the most inclusive, welcoming, and authentic yoga studios in the area. I truly found yoga at Rising Lotus and in doing so, discovered community and connection.The teachers here honor and encourage all bodies of differing sizes, ages, abilities with the goal of helping people to move more fluidly and to feel better overall. In a short time, I have gained strength, improved my balance and flexibility, and found myself trying new poses with the support of my teachers. At Rising Lotus, teachers and staff ensure students feel supported and create a safe space to practice and learn. I have learned so much and grown deeply in my yoga practice. I look forward to each and every class and feel so honored to be a student here.

Rising Lotus is a gem. The atmosphere, feeling of community and quality of classes is top notch. Their yoga teacher training was an incredible experience….it is truly the Ivy League of trainings. Claire is a passionate pioneer in the anatomical science of the body and how it relates to yoga poses. Daniel, with his psychotherapy practice and warm- heartedness, is the perfect person to learn from in the area of yogic philosophy. It was a beautiful bonding experience, a deep dive into one’s body and soul, set in a safe and welcoming space. I Cannot recommend it enough.

5 Stars – A Transformative Yoga Experience
Rising Lotus Yoga Studio is truly a gem! The studio itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and offers several yoga rooms that create the perfect environment for practice. The sense of community here is unparalleled—warm, welcoming, and supportive.
The teachers are absolutely exceptional, each bringing their unique expertise and heartfelt energy to every class. Claire Hartley, the owner, is a standout. Her teaching is both deeply inspiring and accessible, and she has an incredible gift for holding space that feels both heartfelt and exciting. Claire’s passion for yoga and for fostering a meaningful community shines through in every detail of the studio.
If you’re looking for a yoga studio that offers top-notch instruction, a peaceful yet energizing atmosphere, and a truly special sense of connection, Rising Lotus Yoga Studio is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Very disappointed in treatment of clients. Customer service is sorely lacking. Stuck up administrators and snippy male front desk person. He needs to be replaced. Also, studio needs to be aired out after classes with air purifiers that are on the premises. Smells of stale sweat, feet and body odors pervade. Why have air purifiers at all if they are not used accordingly?

Claire is an AMAZING human. She can read you better than you know. I needed to find a teacher that I could connect with. I needed to get out of the ideas that I know how to repair my body. After years of sports and 2 back surgeries, I wanted/needed to release my healing to another. Claire was that, reading her Bio I knew I found who I was looking for. Now after working with Claire and Sherri, we've been able to reset my mind and body and can live in comfort without any medication. Yogo is now my medication for my mind and body. THANK YOU, Claire

Attending the yoga teacher training was a transformative experience, thanks to the incredible guidance and support of our four instructors.
Claire was both tough and kind, guiding us through the entire journey with a firm yet gentle hand. Her dedication ensured that we were always supported and motivated.
Daniel’s Sunday classes were a highlight of the week. His sessions, especially the chanting, were something I eagerly looked forward to. His caring nature made these classes truly special.
Nina was the reason I chose this program. Her kind soul and gentle demeanor created a nurturing environment that made learning a joy.
Micki was an exceptional teacher. Her expertise and passion for yoga were evident in every class.
This training will not only open new doors for you but also make you a part of a wonderful community. You'll feel like you've joined a new family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and connect with like-minded individuals.

Everyone told me that the Teacher Training at RLY would change my life and boy were they telling the truth! The combination of the leadership and the expertise of Claire and Daniel has been an extraordinary growth experience. Claire's emphasis on alignment and core strength in yoga practice with the NKT specialized focus has improved my understanding of the importance of proper execution for life long longevity of yoga practice and has improved my personal practice exponentially. Claire ensures that we trainees can confidently teach and explain the how and why of the poses and the alignment so that our teaching will lead others to success in their practice without injury. Daniel's deep love for and ability to teach and develop our respect and knowledge of the roots and the tools of yoga have given me a wonderful foundation to move through life, and yoga practice, at the edge of the heat with the ability to rest in what is here, now, reflect, revive and renew moving forward with joy and respect for the process. And, just when you think that's it, you get the added bonus' of Nina and Micki who are outstanding in their practices and their teachings of Yoga! The Ayurvedic Living class that Scherry taught 100% improved my daily nutritional focus and has made a visible improvement on my physical appearance. I feel supported and welcomed every time I come to RLY for class and I will go forth in my own yoga teaching knowing that I have been trained by the absolute best in the business! SO MUCH GRATITUDE!

It's hard to put into words how incredible Rising Lotus Yoga is, But I can say with complete confidence that if you are looking for an authentic yoga experience, cutting edge information, extremely talented teachers with a rich history in the Yoga community, and a place where you can grow your practice and have a home away from home, this is studio. Claire and Daniel, the founders, are two of the most knowledgeable And caring teachers in Los Angeles- this is not a corporate or cookie cutter yoga business. This is the real deal, the cream of the crop, a hidden gem that I'm forever grateful I found. It's very rare post Covid to find a place like this... I found Rising Lotus through one of my yoga teachers that has over 30 years of experience. I was considering doing my teacher training a different place but she urged me to take a class at RLY. It was by leaps and bounds it was the right decision and I now urge you to do the same :). Namaste.

For anyone interested in The Rising Lotus Yoga Teacher Training course, I would highly recommend - it takes commitment but I feel like I have a college level knowledge of the material (Harvard, are you listening?). All the teachers were absolutely amazing and the experience was so more than I could have imagined. Thank you Claire, Daniel, Mikki, Scherry and the lovely Nina for investing in your students the way you do - you've made such impact and I appreciate each and every one of you.

I've been working with Claire Hartley for just over a year -- and she's been a life saver! Claire is using her skills as a practitioner of NeuroKinetic Therapy to identify my dysfunctional movement and breathing patterns which have been exacerbated by my scoliosis -- and then prescribes a series of exercises that re-integrates all of my systems. I don't know exactly how or why it works...but it is working and the self-assessment techniques and exercises have really helped me to manage my chronic pain. I leave my weekly sessions feeling more centered and hopeful. Thank you, Claire!

I'm so grateful to have RLY as my go to studio. I've been practicing yoga there since 2017. The community there, lead by Claire, is just wonderful. There are classes for everyone, every level and need. All the teachers are fantastic, so supportive. In the last year or so I've love Micki's classes in particular because I find I need something faster pace ...and she is just such an inspiration with how strong and grounded she is in her practice. A few years ago, I took the 200 hour Yoga teacher training offered at the studio by Claire and I'm so profoundly happy that I had that opportunity. It really helped me deepen my practice in more ways that I can count. I've also gone to Claire for her NKT therapy (which honestly was a lifesaver in those situations where my body just went out of wack...). What can I say...I just love RLY...check it out for yourself!

This retreat was Beautiful designed to connect with the river and the trees in Sequoia National Forest. Claire and her team created a set and setting that allowed for a deep restorative reset. She teaches from an anatomical awareness to your body and encourages expansion in the awareness of body movement and what it feels like and looks like knowing each body is designed differently and varies on a daily basis. The chef prepared healthy hearty food options and the accommodations were cozy.I highly encourage Rising Lotus yoga retreat. Hug and Kiss the Trees!!

I can't say enough about this yoga studio. I have been practicing here for 3 years now and it feels like my second home! Claire Hartley, the owner, has helped me with my physical issues through her private "Neurokinetic Therapy" sessions as well as in class with functional movement. It is amazing!
A few weeks ago, I joined her on the RLY retreat to the Sequoias which was "MAGICAL!" Being surrounded by nature, fresh air, flowing rivers & amazing yogis, made this an experience I will always treasure. I am ready for my next retreat in June!
Each yoga instructor at RL has their own groove and I love that! They offer classes for all levels including beginners and have modifications in each class.
I HIGHLY recommend "Rising Lotus Yoga." They really care about every one of their students. Friendly, loving & positive affirmations everyday! xoxoxo

Really enjoy this yoga studio. I’m still trying out different classes on the new student special, but so far I have really enjoyed the classes and teachers I’ve had so far. The front desk staff is super helpful and welcoming. Something that sets this studio apart from others are their props. They have so many different props and I’ve been loving all the options you can create with everything they provide in each class. I think this is a great studio if you want more options for a slower or restorative yoga experience as well as those wanting to go deeper into proper technique. I’ve been taking classes in addition to my regular (non-yoga) workout schedule so I love that I can still take classes that take more effort as well as classes that make me feel productive without having to over do things in my body. Would highly recommend!

I went to Rising Lotus because I injured my back and could no longer go to my regular gym. I was hoping to find a slower pace and relief for my pain. My best friend joined me and we had one of the best experiences ever. We took advantage of the new student special and attended 10 classes over 21 days. I was mostly sticking to Easy does it with Rose and Level 1 yoga with Nina. Both were super comfortable for me and my back that was constantly in pain. I got to stretch the muscles I didn’t know existed and I just felt so relaxed and so easy. It didn’t feel like a workout, but taking care of your body essential needs. Sadly, my back didn’t improve BUT when I spoke about it with Rose, she recommended a chiropractor for my back. I went in, he fixed me and I found out that I couldn’t do yoga. So I’m stopping for now but I’m immensely grateful for the experience and for the connections I made. The teachers are incredibly kind and attentive, the front desk staff is friendly and welcoming, they take care of what you need every step of the way with the right equipment, pose variations and personal attention when you have pain areas. I’m so happy I tried it and will definitely be back when I’m better!

Hands down five stars! So very glad I finally joined Rising Lotus Yoga studio! It's the best, and worth every penny to get the unlimited class package! I took full advantage of the 3-week free trial pass, and was hooked immediately. What distinguishes Rising Lotus is the flexibility that it offers via zoom--every class can be taken either online or in person. For someone pressed for time, this is such a great option. I get to do take all the yoga classes, without having to drive somewhere and back, and yet still have a sense of community and belonging. Not to mention that the teachers are all so lovable. I haven't made it to an in-person class yet, but I feel a strong connection to the teachers and I know I will go in person one day. Love it!!!

I found Rising Lotus Yoga when I moved to the area in 2010. At this time, I had been practicing yoga for about ten years and had worked with some really good teachers, but none of them can compare to Claire Hartley. Her classes bring such depth to the practice. She is light-hearted, passionate about the practice, knowledgeable about anatomy, and is an absolutely brilliant teacher. Each class is designed to guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself. As you gain knowledge about your body, your compensation patterns, what you do instinctually when you are uncomfortable, you strengthen not only your body but also your mind. In Claire's class, I found the mind-body-soul connection. I bring the wisdom of her dharma talks into my daily life. I embody the peacefulness I find on my mat and take that out into the world with me. Claire has changed yoga for me. It is no longer just exercise. It is a way of living and of being present in this world.
I have now practiced at Rising Lotus for many years. All the teachers are amazing. This is more than just a studio. It is a community and I am so grateful to have found it.

I can express enough how amazing this studio is. I was in search of alternative to physical therapy post spinal fusion and after posting on a Facebook group about recommendations on yoga studios, Claire (owner) reached out and met with me to talk about the different classes with recommendations to start. I started a few days later and my body immediately felt better. Every teacher makes sure to understand your personal needs, limitations and requested movements in every class. After a month of doing between 3-4 classes a week, I am feeling stronger all over. The other great aspect is they are welcoming of my teenage daughters attend classes too. Rising Lotus is overall a great studio for people at all levels and the care every teacher puts into making sure you are pushing yourself without hurting yourself.

Not having much Yoga experience, I recently went with some friends to an Amazing Yoga retreat in Tennessee in the suburbs just outside of Nashville. I was in Heaven & discovered the teacher who was hosting the Retreat previously had a studio here locally in Burbank. I wanted to continue my new journey of Yoga similar to her teaching & asked her of a yoga studio locally. She referred me to a good friend of hers Emily Brohm who happens to teach at Rising Lotus in Sherman Oaks. So, I reached out & so happy I did!!
Everyone I’ve met at the Studio including Emily, have been very warm and welcoming!! They are especially kind in helping you discover your own specific needs in any limitations you may have and always have modifications available for the less limber of us.. I’ve been at the Studio for about a month now loving every moment of it & excited to discover new growth in my journey!

The studio is pristine and the staff has been very welcoming and approachable. Bonus: I feel more centered and less stressed overall. I highly recommend RLY!

I’m new to the area and spent a good deal of time trying to find my next yoga studio. Now I take classes three times every week with Katie and Claire, and am so grateful for Rising Lotus! I highly recommend both instructors, as well as Daniel, Michelle, Nina and Scherry. All offer various styles of teaching and time slots throughout the week, so it was fun to dabble around until I found the best schedule/ styles for me. Workshop offerings are also coming back which is exciting!

This yoga studio is more than just a place to practice, it feels like a community. The instructors are thoughtful in their approach and share the philosophy of yoga and help you harness the power of your breath.

I am taking time out of my busy schedule to write you about the ridiculous, awful end I had to the class I took with Lilia Mead at 10:45 on 1/18/18. The class was fine throughout. At the end during the close of class, Lilia began berating us with her political views.
I am a client. I payed money to your company to meditate and do yoga. Not to hear some persons diatribe about the (and I quote) "Smuck in the Oval Office." What kinda business are you running that you allow your employees to speak about their personal political beliefs? This is Yoga, not the town hall. Its a place of mindfulness, not vitriolic ramblings at the closing of class. Everyone felt uncomfortable. We payed MONEY for your class!
I want you to know that I will be leaving a negative review on yelp. I will be leaving a negative review on google. Clean up your business. If I ever hear that in another class of your business that I go to, I will be speaking up. It will be very uncomfortable as I felt after this yoyo started yapping about her beliefs.
Dorit and Nina are great teachers. Professional and caring. This Lilia needs to be fired. I expect a clear and ample response from management about this.

I've been to many yoga studios in the valley and i always come back to Rising Lotus. All of the classes are great, but the restorative classes with Nina are my favorite. There is something special about them that can not be explained.

Los Angeles has many great yoga studios, and I've been to many from Santa Monica to Hollywood. But Rising Lotus is hands-down the best. REAL yoga taught with true expertise, care and without pretension, Claire and Daniel are awesome. .

This is my favorite yoga studio. It is such a peaceful place. They have created such a great environment for the practice of yoga. My favorite instructor is Arielle. She really pushes her students and brings a lot out of me, physically and emotionally.

A really wonderful community of instructors who care about about helping students grow. I don't feel any egos in the classroom like I have at other studios. Will definitely keep coming back.
