Dharma Yoga House is a space for people to gather - a conscious collective. A place that feels safe, open, heartfelt, and full of friends who care for each other like family. Our studio was opened ONLY because we had support from our dear friends. Dharma Yoga House invites ALL to share in it's offerings.
The studio is run solely by donation which allows ALL students to practice regardless of their financial situation. We trust that God/ The Universe/ The Divine will handle all the details. Dharma Yoga House operates in simplicity. There are no contracts, no memberships, no groupons, no online deals, no red tape that might prohibit a student from feeling able to become part of this community.

Services
Dharma House Yoga offers a diverse and complementary variety of mind and body modalities, from physically challenging Vinyasa movement yoga and Hatha to meditative Kundalini, and restorative Sound Healing. Join us on this journey to explore and unite our inner and outer selves, expand awareness, and create more beauty and grace.
STEPPING OUT OF YOUR ROUTINE allows space for profound change and growth. TAKE EXQUISITE CARE OF YOURSELF by accepting free time into your life - time to recharge, find your balance, eat well, and unplug. RETREATS ARE LIKE FULL-IMMERSION COURSES, where we can develop - or deepen - our capacity to find stillness of mind and greater awareness.
Practiced for centuries by cultures around the world and emphasized in Ayurvedic & Chinese Medicine Systems, detoxification is about resting, cleaning, and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and eliminating toxins, then flooding your body with powerful earth-made nutrients, detoxifying protects you from disease, enhances your immune system, and leaves you feeling strong, clear, and vibrant.
This special day differs than a traditional western Baby Shower in that the focus is on the mother. We are excited to offer a beautiful package that covers the entire celebration! We do it all - you just show up & enjoy! Dharma Yoga Center is a donation-based yoga studio in South Orange County, CA, humbly serving Dana Point, San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, Newport Beach and beyond.
Dharma Yoga House runs SOLELY ON DONATION. No memberships, class packages, or contracts. We believe yoga should be for ALL and the donation-based model helps make that possible. Running more as a co-op or collective, teachers each 'rent' their class time slots, allowing them to in a way to have ownership of the studio.

This studio is returning to the essence of yoga. It is a space to show up to practice and make friends. The community created through Dharma is one of the loveliest parts of this area. They offer a wide range of classes that allow each person to develop a practice that is fit for them.
I started coming Dharma as a student shortly after it opened its doors. And recently had the opportunity this past year to teach. As both a teacher and a student, I could not recommend this space more, for people new or experienced.

Dharma Yoga House has devoted teachers who truly seek to serve the community. The fact alone that this studio is donation based speaks to its loving mission of yoga for all.
They have a variety of classes for every interest and need, all under the amazing guidance of Laura Love, the studio director.
So excited to have found Dharma and thankful for how much it's enriched my life and practice.

This studio is such a special place! You can feel the energy of the space as soon as you walk in. The community of teachers and students is welcoming and kind. There are many unique classes on the schedule including kirtan, Bhakti yoga, kundalini, and ecstatic dance. The donation based model makes all of these wonderful offerings accessible to everyone. This studio is a huge gift to south OC!!

DHARMA YOGA HOUSE is my favorite yoga studio! It's my home away from home (even though I live rather close by). Such an amazing community and beautiful space. AMAZING and talented teachers for all classes, and a wide variety of options when it comes to classes on the schedule. Definitely check it out whether you're new or a seasoned yogi, this is the studio to be at!

This is by far my favorite yoga studio around . It has such a positive spirit and a eclectic mix of different types of classes that you just don't see as often as i would like . Everything from Vinyasa to sound and energy healing, kids yoga , ecstatic dance , drum circles, to restorative yoga . Its all donation based too . The owner is the heart of our community here and she collaborates with a local organic juice bar thats to die for. Together they offer a quarterly cleanse and run a retreat center . Its pretty amazing. Highly recommend

My partner and I have been in San Clemente for the past couple of months and Dharma Yoga House is the best option for affordable yoga classes. We've been to hundreds of studios across the country, and this one is high on our list of ones we like! Varying styles of classes and teachers so there's something for everyone, no matter what level or experience. It's all donation-based, so you pay what you can afford per class. This does not mean free yoga; it means you pay a fair price that supports the teacher and studio's offering while keeping the yoga practice accessible to all

I feel it is necessary to add this update to my initial review because of both recent experience and valuable insight into the previous situation at Dharma Yoga House. This past weekend I decided to re-attend Dharma Yoga House for the first time since my previous experience there a few months ago. Laura, the owner, was teaching the class and Sukha was preforming Kirtan during the class. The experience was outstanding. Laura is an amazing teacher and has a solid practice. Her energy and the class energy was incredible. Sukha, as always, was elevating. I strongly suggest and recommend that anyone

This is by far the best studio I have had the privilege to practice at! Dharma Yoga House is not only a sacred and beautiful studio but a community built on love, inclusion and devotion. This studio has sweetest teachers each with a unique offering, each class led with so much soul and positivity. All classes are donation based, creating a sense of welcoming that is rare to find. I am so grateful to be a part of this beautiful community that leaves my heart full, my soul inspired and my mind at peace.

Dharma Yoga House is exactly what we need more of in our world. This beautiful place radiates positivity, and it is no wonder, as it is founded upon and rooted in love. It is a place that gives so much to the community and to everyone who steps through its beautiful doors. Imagine that: a business that gives far more than it receives! The teachers are welcoming and inspiring, and the classes are physically and spiritually fulfilling. Dharma Yoga House is truly a special place that welcomes everyone.

One of the best yoga studios I've ever stepped foot in. The environment is rooted in loving community as they offer exciting & caring opportunities for anyone who wishes to better themselves or practice yoga. Donation-based classes are THE BEST, it helps the studio flow with such positive intentions and the joy of education & sharing definitely shows. I've never felt more comfortable or welcome at a yoga studio. The instructors are amazing. I highly recommend trying one of their classes with live music! You will feel rejuvenated bliss.

Dharma yoga is such a fantastic yoga studio! I went to a Sunday morning class which featured Kundalini yoga led by Laura Love as well as incredible live music to go along with it. The combination is such a fantastic experience and the class chants during the poses, which helps you really get a lot more than you'd expect out of it since your focused on the chants rather than the "ooohhhh how much longer is this hold!!" your muscles may be screaming. Laura is a great and welcoming teacher, and after class you feel like your part of a community as many students and her gather to chat

Fantastic spot! Discovered it on meetup.com as I eagerly searched for kundalini yoga. I attended a Thursday evening session and it was lovely ! Great class and a bonus of live music. The space itself is very pretty !
Worth a try even for beginners like myself who are clueless :) I still felt welcomed

Finally was able to visit Laura Love's new studio and really enjoyed the Bhakti class. I've been a huge fan of Laura since discovering her soothing classes in San Clemente. Her new studio is gorgeous! She has incorporated some pretty amazing things that make her studio a unique gem in Orange County. It is donation based, which really brings a calm and non-commercial vibe to the place. She has also brought in some pretty incredible musicians that take the classes to a new level. Combine that with her hypnotic voice and calm, friendly presence, and you have an incredible place to practice
