Private Yoga Instructors in Santa Monica, CA

I am new to Thumbtack but not new to yoga and sound healing :) Please message me before booking for availability! For nearly two decades, I have immersed myself in the practice of yoga, having been drawn to its healing and transformative power. Following a car accident in 2016 that left me with neck and back injuries, I experienced firsthand the profound benefits of yoga in my own healing journey. As a 500-hr certified yoga instructor – having trained in both California and Bali – I offer a wide range of modalities, including Restorative, Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, Hot Yoga, Yin, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, and Breathwork/Pranayama. I also provide Sound Healing using crystal bowls and chimes, and especially love offering a magical combination of any of the above to fit your specific needs and desires. Most think yoga is simply a workout or a stretch, but I craft my sessions to be a sacred space where breath, grounding, and gratitude intertwine – nurturing body, mind, and soul. Whether this is your first glimpse into yoga or mindfulness, or you are a seasoned practitioner, I am able to meet your needs and create a safe and welcoming space for you. Contact me to book a session – whether it be 1:1 private, couples, small group, corporate/organization, events, bachelorettes, and more! Each session is designed custom to meet your physical, emotional, spiritual, and wellness needs. In each session together, we will focus on dropping out of the thinking mind and into the feeling body through breathing techniques, accessible movement and postures for all body types, mindfulness, and effective practices for regulating your nervous system on and off the mat. My hope is that after each session you leave feeling at least a little more at ease, grounded, empowered, and loved. Whether it be online, outdoors, or in your home, I am honored to help you reconnect with the miracle of your own life. With gratitude, Alexa

As an experienced Fitness & Nutrition Specialist, I take pride in changing people’s views and misconceptions about strength training, weight loss, nutrition and overall wellness. My experience coupled with advanced trainings in strength training, corrective exercise and nutrition offers a uniquely holistic and badass style of training that has helped change hundreds of lives! In the physical realm, I improve your body awareness by strengthening your neuromuscular connection (or mind-to-muscle connection). My unique approach focuses on form, functionality, mobility, strength, endurance and balance, all while aligning your body to move how it was always meant to move. This creates a solid foundation for you to continue strength training and leading an active lifestyle without pain or injury. In the nutritional realm, I aim to improve your relationship with food by educating you on your nutritional intake, helping you plan ahead, improving your mindset and making small changes to your daily habits & routines. Through these carefully curated exercise, nutrition and mindfulness programs, both in-person and online, my clients regularly achieve major improvements in their daily habits, energy levels, body shape and an overall zest for life they forgot was possible :) -Certified Personal Trainer -Certified Group Fitness Coach -Certified Nutrition Specialist -Certified Human Movement Specialist

Wherever you're at on your journey, I'd love to work with you! Yoga is for everyone and every BODY. My goal is to provide a safe, fun and grounded space for you to practice in. Questions are welcome and laughter is necessary, especially during challenging moments. My main style of teaching is vinyasa and gentle vinyasa. I work by first learning more about you and what you are looking to learn or experience throughout your practice (flexibility, strength, calming the mind, pranayama, philosophy etc.) and we go from there! I offer private 1 on 1, small group sessions and special events. We can discuss to figure out what type of program best suits your needs. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Greta! I am a 200-hour RYT with Yoga Alliance and a breathwork instructor specializing in active breathwork techniques, including 2-stage and 3-stage methods. Breathwork is a powerful practice that uses intentional breathing techniques to shift your oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, guiding you into expanded states of consciousness. Through this process, you can release stagnant energy, access deeper self-awareness, and reconnect with the wisdom within you. By opening your heart space, Breathwork enhances your ability to tune into your intuition—that inner knowing that often speaks to us but can be difficult to interpret. This practice creates a bridge between the mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to gain clarity, release emotional blockages, and experience profound breakthroughs. I am also trauma-informed and have been guiding clients through transformative journeys for years, both privately and in group settings at studios like Hallowed Ground in Marina del Rey and The Mindry in Malibu. My goal is to support you as you navigate emotional, spiritual, and physical shifts, helping you discover new layers of yourself through breathwork and movement. Whether you're looking to deepen your practice, explore breathwork, or embark on a journey of self-discovery, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. I offer private and group sessions!
