ABOUT US The story behind Yogis Anonymous Yogis Anonymous is a new donation-based yoga studio in Santa Monica. It was founded in the summer/fall of 2009 by Ally Hamilton with the intention of bringing together some of LA's most experienced, inspired, and celebrated teachers in a supportive, nurturing, and fun environment, accessible to all who wish to participate. From its conception, Ally's vision for the studio has always been to create an environment that truly supports and celebrates its teachers, and in doing so, engenders a vibrant and flourishing community of practitioners who share her passion for life, love, and the gift of yoga. We’ve carefully chosen our roster and put together a thoughtful schedule that offers a variety of classes for the beginner and experienced practitioner alike.

We believe that when you walk into a studio, there should be a heartbeat, a personality… a vibe. So we built a place that feels good to us. We want you to feel good, too. Hope to see you here often.

Peace Love and Yoga,

Ally and Dorian

ABOUT THE DONATION SYSTEM

All classes at Yogis Anonymous are offered “by donation”. There are no set fees. We believe that the well-guided practice of yoga should be available to everybody, not just those with plenty of cash. The way we, in partnership with our teachers, make this work is by having faith in you. Teachers here do not receive a paycheck. In fact, they pay rent to the studio for the opportunity to conduct their classes. Therefore, they rely solely on the donations collected at the end of class in order to earn a living. In this way, these classes are a true offering of love, trust, generosity of spirit, and a dedication to the yogic philosophy. Please keep this in mind as you make your donation. The suggested amount is $14 per class.
