Y7 Studio Silver Lake

Monica is a fantastic instructor! I love that she provided a lot of accommodations for all levels throughout the flow. Would absolutely recommend her class to anyone at any level!

Always love coming into Y7 and challenging my body with a yoga class as opposed to the standard weight training/CrossFit style of workouts I’ve grown accustomed to the last decade. It seems the little challenges of muscles I rarely use tend to make me shake, sweat and squirm but it’s a must try workout.

Not a fan. I signed up for their 3 class special and after the first class I didn’t want to go back, but I thought I’d give it a couple more tries and try different styles of classes and instructors. Didn’t like any of the classes. I’ve taken a lot of heated yoga classes and this was an experience I left feeling gross, not stronger or more relaxed. After class the cleaning of equipment is left to people taking the class to use a wet wipe. How do you actually thoroughly clean cloth bands with a wet wipe? That feels a bit unhygienic and combining that with a personal unliking to the style of their classes, I won’t be going back. I also was a bit surprised that the products in the bathroom weren’t more mindful, like nontoxic. The parking lot is small, but I personally never had an issue parking. I can see though that it could be during busy classes.

I was nice enough to email y7at the address on their website about an insane experience i had with their front desk person instead of leaving a review. It has been 3 days and no word from them! The class was also incredibly underwhelming. I also later found out that the front desk person deliberately marked me absent so i would get charged by classpass. See pic

When I left my yoga mat at the Silverlake Y7 studio over a rainy weekend, I emailed asking if they’d seen it and got a “we have tons of mats in the back, ask the front desk” in reply. When I went back to the studio, I got back a sopping wet yoga mat. I asked why it had been left out in the rain over the weekend, and the manager said - without remorse or apology - that there was no storage in the studio. Really bummed that the Manduka mat I’ve had for years is badly water-damaged. It just left a really bad taste in my mouth that this is how they treat first-time clients... this is just not what the spirit of yoga is all about :(
