People's Yoga

It all began on the soccer field, the way mosts great love stories begin. After a few pick up games the pair bonded over conversations about their love for yoga. Their love for yoga combined with their love for familia, and community turned those conversations into a pop-up project. In November 2012 they offered their first pop-up class at an affordable housing complex in Boyle Heights. What started in Boyle Heights quickly expanded to Downey, Lincoln Heights, South LA, El Sereno, Highland Park, East LA, Downtown LA and Little Tokyo. In 2014, the pair gathered family, friends, and community members to help build what would become the first and only yoga studio in East Los Angeles - People’s Yoga.
