Inside a serene earth-toned studio, Yoga Long Beach’s certified instructors lead students of all abilities through a schedule of heated and non-heated Vinyasa-based classes. Restorative yoga allays achy bodies or students suffering from stress with a quiet, nurturing practice, during which bolsters and blankets support gentle stretches and postures, and hands-on assistance from teachers calms anxious spirit animals. The studio temperature increases to 90 degrees during Power Vinyasa yoga, in which flowing postures linked together with conscious breath provide an aerobic workout that builds muscle, increases flexibility, and boosts energy. Jivamukti yoga builds off the Vinyasa Flow style with further attention paid to proper alignment as meditation, chanting, and music foster mind-and-body wellness. Yoga Long Beach is a bring-your-own-mat studio, though those with overly burdened pack mules can rent a mat and a towel for $3.

Nutritional counseling sessions create individualized plans to strengthen the health of wellness seekers. Drawing from whole food nutrition, hebalism, and mind-body practices, gurus address emotional and behavioral aspects of each client’s lifestyle for a path to well-being that’s devoid of destructive activities and deep-fried butter sticks.

Though Yoga Long Beach sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
