One Life Yoga was founded to be a celebration of yoga life. We draw inspiration from our shared experience and love of the practice, lifestyle and tradition of yoga. Informed by nature, our bodies and organic movements, and set to the rhythm of the modern, urban environment we live in, we are excited to introduce ourselves through our yoga to the broader Pasadena and Altadena community!
Our intention is to create a yoga and community space for all people, of all faiths, colors, shapes and sizes, creeds and orientations. Reza found yoga 10 years ago as a way to balance the stresses of his corporate life. A self-confessed beginner, Reza was inspired to create One Life Yoga as a place for everybody and every body.

Please plan your travel time to arrive and be set up about 10-15 minutes before class. This is a beautiful opportunity to prepare yourself and reacquaint with your mat and self. New students please arrive 30 min before class starts so we can show you the studio. Please be ON TIME. We understand traffic and parking struggles, but encourage you to prep your time accordingly so as to avoid stress and disruption in the class.
Our yoga classes are designed to be "all levels" classes. This means that the class will have students of all levels of experience (including beginners) and the class will be structured so that all levels can participate. Balance, strength, flexibility and the capability to move into various poses will come with practice.

This is my new favorite yoga studio! I've gone to studios/classes in west LA, OC, all over Pasadena, and even random ones at parks and beaches, but none of them have the yoga techniques that One Life Yoga has!
I've attended a few classes so far and what sets One Life Yoga apart from other studios is their lack of repetition. Maybe it's just a vinyasa thing, but I love that this studio really focuses on unique movements that stretch your body and strengthen your mobility rather than just doing the typical vinyasa style flow. I've learned a lot of new movements in here that

I love this studio. I have taken yoga classes sporadically over the years, but I'm definitely a beginner. The instructors here are so good, not pretentious at all, and offer many variations/modifications. Great variety of classes, whether you want a more muscular vinyasa challenge or restorative yin style. I'm so happy to have found this studio!!

Love love love! I found One Life Yoga on Classpass and took an amazing class at their yoga studio this past week! The instructor was so knowledge and kind. There was a woman that might have been a beginner to yoga ana needed a lot of extra help, and the instructor was really patient and gave her extra tips at the end of class.
Personally, I was having a pretty bad stomach cramps (lol) and almost didn't show up. I was scared that it would be too intense of a class for me, but I took the moves slowly and rested a lot and I felt a lot better after the class! The flow focused a lot on core workout

This is a great boutique yoga studio that has a very welcoming, non-competitive, and caring vibe. 2020 has been a challenging year and I credit this studio and their online classes that have allowed me to develop an even stronger practice this year that gave me the strength both physically and mentally to get through challenge after challenge in 2020. I have been a member for about a year, joined in January 2020 with no idea of what was to come this year. Such a blessing to have found this place! I typically do Alex R and Lizzie's water classes as I like to do yoga during my remote work at

This yoga studio feels a bit disorganized. I signed up for their 3 week trial for $40 and every class I attended was less structured than the next. This place isn't really for "athletic" yoga... which I'm sure is not very cool or zen of me, but still... I like a little sweat to accompany my deep breathing.
Let's just say I attended one class where a sub walked in and goes: "so what do you guys usually do in this class?" Turns out the answer was a lot of slow stretching.
The teachers are more interested in their instagram following than actually instructing

Such a great local spot!
I came here for a sound bath a few months ago. It was a great experience! I like the size of the studio itself. There were about 20 people in the class. The instructors were so good! They went around the room during the sound bath and played for everyone individually and also had really great insights to the practice! It was nice to experience this class at might before bed because it provided the relaxation and ambiance for a sleepy mood.
I would say that because this studio is on the corner of a busy intersection it would be best to attend this type of class later

I LOVE this yoga studio. I just moved to Pasadena and I wanted to find a studio to lock in. One Life immediately made me feel right at home. The vibe is incredible. The diversity of class type and class times are wonderful. I always feel like I am getting a great workout and building my yoga skills/practice. All the staff members are helpful, kind, and inviting! LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. 10/10 :)

I signed up for 3 weeks trial. It was good but not very satisfied experience. I expected instructors to help with posture correction. However, every single instructor seemed to focus on demonstration on their own not pay attentions for attendees. I often spotted out people would do the wrong way without proper instruction. Well..., those instructors are young and talented, specially one of teacher can sing beautiful Indian hymn. The space is nice and well maintained as well. But be honest, people come to studio for professional help, otherwise, I could just do it at home. My personal experience

I came here earlier this year (January) for a soundbath event. So this is only for that experience.
Parking is relatively easy if you come in the evenings. In the daytime, it's a madhouse thanks to Millie's :)
We were running a few minutes behind and I felt like the staff was irritated because of it. I'm like maybe you should be taking this class
So we had to rent mats as the ad we saw for the event wasn't very clear. I don't remember how much it was but it was reasonable. Make sure you take your shoes off also when you walk in. They have an area for you to keep your

Ashley was fantastic! Great guidance, well-paced class, clear instruction, and gave us some opportunities to play with "advanced" poses if we chose, but totally accommodating to all levels. In fact I haven't had a teacher I didn't enjoy.
The space is beautiful too, a lovely place to disconnect from the hum of busy-ness.
They also have a nice variety of class packages to choose from. Definitely recommend!

This review is only for the soundbaths. On their website, they say "Sundays are for Soundbaths," a sentiment I now highly agree with. Every Sunday, a practitioner comes and leads a sounbath. Everyone lays down on a mat, brings their own pillow and blankets, borrows some bolsters to get into a restorative pose and then listens to singing bowls align their chakras. It's such a cool and chill experience. A fantastic way to zen out and end your weekend, and it's my favorite if someone has essential oils as you inhale their sweet scents while willing yourself not to fall asleep and

Be good to yourself. I wanted to make sure I came here at least 3 times before I write a review. This is typical when I review exercise classes.
This is a beautiful studio with a city industrial vibe. Most classes I attended had 15 to 25 people. I have take yoga classes from Reza and Gladys. They are both amazing teachers. I am trying to come and experience the wonderful energy from every teacher since I heard many good things.
I took the water sequence from Reza which is a heated 75 minutes class. If you like heat and non-stop movement, this is it! It made me drip sweat. He was very descriptive

One Life Yoga has done well with the studio in strategizing new and integrative yoga and meditation classes for its students and the community at large. More great things to come from One Life Yoga! Instructors Lea Kramer and Samy Rose are most generous to beginners and those who may be new to One Life. The love and welcoming energy is alive and abundant here!!

The variety of classes and the practice flow is fairly unique and carefully guided. Instructors are attentive to problem areas and often modify their practice to suit the needs of the class.
I also like the space of the studio, from the practice room to the meditation room. Staff is warm and supportive. Location is in a great area, parking is easy to find.

Took the 9am One Life Sequence class with Reza and loved the class! I really needed a great stretch and all the poses he guided us through were amazing. It's a beginner class but I thought it was great for all levels. Upon checking in, he provided great info on where everything was since it was my first time at the studio and made sure everything was ok before class started. The studio is a very cute space. They also have a meditation room that looks so cozy. Definitely want to try one of those classes out one day, a soundbath perhaps! Left class feeling refreshed!

Good energy! This place has great, attentive and friendly instructors. The studio has been open for nearly a year. I started with 30 day special for $39. I have enjoyed the variety of classes offered and individual styles. I have been practicing yoga on and off for many years.
I love the kundalini classes with Lea and Marika. Lizzie has an incredible voice. Samy, Gladys and Laura are great instructors as well. Great warm environment, I am grateful to have discovered this place and it's in my neighborhood is a bonus!
Another pro: parking is good, the lot is behind the studio.

I wandered into this studio one day because I was curious. It's part of the new Washington Square gentrification. I live a couple of blocks up the hill.
I signed up for the new member special, took a few classes and now....I'm hooked.
The space is comforting, the instructors are well-versed and caring. The classes are varied; offering something for anyone regardless of your age or ability.
As a woman "of a certain age" who had never experienced yoga before...I thought I'd be overwhelmed. My experience was quite the opposite.

I recently visited One Life Yoga to check out their studio and see what their class schedule looks like. All I can say is...SO impressive. I was warmly greeted by Samy Rose, one of the owners. Despite the fact that she was attending to several clients who had just finished a class, she was so inviting and personable to me. I immediately felt at ease which meant so much. It can be kind of intimidating visiting a new wellness studio so Samy Rose's kindness just blew me away. What a gem she is!
She gave me a tour of the studio and showed me their class schedule. She also invited me to
