What is YogaWorks?
It’s more than just yoga or mindful fitness — YogaWorks is a vibrant community of passionate teachers dedicated to helping you feel your best, and students of all levels eager to grow and learn together.
While we celebrate a wide variety of yoga and fitness styles, every class reflects one core value: exceptional teaching. This commitment to excellence has made YogaWorks the trusted standard in yoga education. Our online classes are crafted with quality, authenticity, inclusivity, and a touch of inspiration that makes each experience truly unique.
YogaWorks History
Our founders — Maty Ezraty, Chuck Miller, and Alan Finger — shared a deep belief in yoga’s ability to transform lives. United by a common vision, they set out to build a welcoming community where anyone could experience the true essence of yoga. Coming together from diverse backgrounds and traditions, they combined their expertise and passion to make yoga accessible to all.
In 1987, they opened the very first YogaWorks studio in Santa Monica, CA. It quickly gained recognition for bringing together world-class instructors and a variety of yoga styles under one roof. Drawing on their deep knowledge of meditation and subtle-body practices, they created the acclaimed YogaWorks Teacher Training Program — a standard of excellence in yoga education.
Our Purpose
Our dedicated and expertly trained teachers are passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone, offering practices that extend beyond the mat into everyday life — and YogaWorks was created with that very purpose in mind.
Yoga helps you feel more connected — to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. We believe that as more people embrace yoga, the world becomes a more balanced and compassionate place. Whatever your age, ability, or lifestyle, you’ll find classes tailored to your needs — and you can start exploring them with your first 14 days completely free!
