Restorative Yoga Class Details

By joining us in-studio for Restorative Yoga, you engage in a passive healing process that targets the parasympathetic nervous system:

  • The Environment: Practice in our serene, candle-lit sanctuary. The quiet, private nature of our studio is specifically curated to help you “unplug” from the outside world.
  • Total Support: We utilize an array of props—including bolsters, blankets, and blocks—to fully support your body so your muscles can completely let go.
  • Mindful Stillness: Each pose is held for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing for a deep state of meditation and a gentle opening of the connective tissues.
  • Guided Relaxation: Instructors provide calming breathwork (Pranayama) and visualization techniques to help guide your mind away from daily stressors.
  • The Pace: Expect a very slow, floor-based practice with minimal transitions, focusing on comfort and ease.

Registration Process: 

Register ahead of time directly on this class page. Payment for the class can be submitted through the online registration process to secure your spot. Drop-ins are also welcome, and payment can be submitted at the studio.

A good friend of mine brought me to the Garden of Yoga when we were seventeen. We used to commute to Bryan Kest's Power Yoga in Santa Monica for Sunday morning sessions. On the days we didn't feel like commuting we'd come here. Stefan and his wife are the real deal, they have literally committed their lives to each other, their family, and the practice of yoga. Their technique is a blend of many masters from India. They don't play music in any of the classes, but instead they fill the air with mantras and other beautiful sounds. The class is not rushed at all and their attentiveness to your practice is very present. I really love the location of this studio, it's very serene and cozy. They're both incredibly personable and generous people. This is a very special gem in California.

The teacher makes all the difference!! Diana and Stefan are the BEST!!! They changed my yoga experience and practice and life!! If you are considering yoga or want to try, just stop in to this causal, warm inviting home based studio. No stress and no pretentious People here. As they will tell you time and time again, yoga is not a competition, it Should feel good!! And at Garden of yoga it does feel good. I have been to other studios and I always feel like I am cheating on them. It's that good. If you want a easy, relaxing experience try restorative class. Offered about once a Month or so these classes are super good. If you want hard, take an advanced or private.
Barry R.Yelp Review
You know how hard it is to find an amazing yoga teacher that inspires you and guides you with a perfect blend of knowledge and humor? Let me introduce you to Stefan! His beautiful, peaceful sanctuary is nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet and private location and Stefan will make you so grateful you found it. I met Stefan through my teacher training and was totally impressed with the depth of his knowledge and the easy skill he wields in his practices which are fun, challenging, and educational (at least for me!). I highly recommend the Garden of Yoga if you're looking for an expertly executed and engaging yoga experience.
