The Garden of Grace, Intention & Wellness

Rise and Shine yoga is a great way to start the day! Everyone is so nice and friendly an the audio has a great relaxing environment. I will be returning again soon.

This is the yoga studio I have been looking for! They have lots of different classes and styles of yoga. I am not a flow person I like to practice my pose and work on doing them well and then going to the next one, and that is what they do. It is very relaxing and they also have a small reading room too! I can’t wait to try all the different classes they have.

This place is a gem. I found it when I was desperately looking for a yoga class while in the area caring for my sick mom. The owners are kind and compassionate. The teachers are the same. I gave it four stars because of the choice of music in a couple of classes. In my opinion, if there is music played it should be the type of music that brings your attention inward. The music was good but too distracting for a yoga class. Other than that, highly recommend trying this place out. It is unpretentious and the people there truly care about your well being.

Studio is very well decorated, feels cozy and peaceful. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. All of the classes I’ve taken here so far have been pretty slow pace. The instructors take A LOT of time to explain things which is great for new students but a bit redundant to those who’ve taken yoga before. Basically if you’re looking to work up a sweat, the yoga classes here are not for you. But if you’re looking to stretch and relax, this is right up your alley. Most of the classes I’ve taken had an older demographic. I have not taken their pilates classes.
Another con is that the only thing that separates the yoga room from the front desk area is a curtain so you can hear people walking in and out of the studio and talking.
Overall a great studio for beginners or those looking for mental yoga :)

This place has done so much good for my soul. I feel at home and peace. All instructors are amazing!!! Thank you so much!

This place was so amazing and so relaxing! I attended the yoga class on Friday. The instructor was great and very helpful. I will definitely be back :)

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for GGIW until now! This is truly one of the most AMAZING gems in the South Bay and I’ve been taking classes since they opened their doors in June.
The remarkable thing about GGIW is how it bridges the gap between the fitness-​oriented and spalike type of studios (both of which type I’ve patronized for years). This studio is other worldly with its calming garden entrance, floating curtains and padded floors. Karen and Susan have embued the space with their love and I enjoy just hanging out in the lounge area enjoying the fruit-​infused water. The classes lean more toward beginning and gentle practice with an emphasis on the spiritual aspects of yoga practice. It’s exactly what I need in my currently stressed out life!
The class schedule is still in its infancy, but new offerings are being added and the special workshops are a nice touch. If you need more peace in your life, stop by and sample one if the lunchtime stretch classes (30 min) or buy the convenient 6 class pack and you can take any of thr 1 hr classes. Mats and a wide variety of props are provided free of charge. So all you have to do is show up!
I’m so grateful to have this oasis in my neighborhood!!!

So many things to love about this place! Great variety of class styles and times to choose from. Warm and welcoming owners and instructors! And a beautiful garden.
I love how close it is to home and the atmosphere they’ve created. As someone who hadn’t practiced yoga in years I found the idea of starting again a little intimidating. When I came to my first class I received a warm friendly welcome and a tour of the space which made me feel much more at ease. I had a great first class and have been coming back week after week.

This is one of the most amazing yoga studio’s in the South Bay. The energy is amazing, highly educated teachers, traditional Hatha Yoga classes and very interesting workshops. The garden is a great place to meditate outside, and the owners, Karen and Susan are extremely professional and very helpful. Great for beginners as well as advanced practitioners who want to practice yoga the way it was intended to — to heal and quiet the mind.

I was looking for yoga class in Lomita. A good friend of mine called me today. Said she just took a yoga class at this location this is what she told me. I LOVED It! The best yoga class i ever had! The instructor was educated on anatomy and did lots of small movements that went to the core muscles in the hip area. Also, she placed an aroma essence in palm of our hands, which we smelled at the end of session. Ahhhhhhh. SUSAN, one of owners is super nice. Like her. Roxanne.

Noticed this new place while driving by. Always wanted to try Yoga, but was always scared that I would not be able to do it. Given the short distance from home, I tried it one Saturday morning, and have never looked back. It is nice to get outside of the house, to a place that welcomes all levels of practice. Have learned so much about myself and my body. Those normal aches and pains have simply went away. I feel so much better then I have in a long time. Owners and instructors are very nice and helpful. The studio is always clean and inviting. Their mediation sessions are great as well. Best part is you’re barefooted!!!
