golden bridge yoga

My first experience with yoga was a kundalini class with Gurmukh (of celeb pre-natal yoga fame) about 7 years ago at the original Golden Bridge on 3rd St.

The new location in Hollywood is Gurmukh's vision of creating community realized - having evolved beyond just another yoga studio. Despite the new location's walking distance from my office, it's taken me nearly a year to make my way over, but I was glad I finally did.

With the inclusion of a natural food stop (salad bar by the pound, mung beans and rice, selected Indian food, numerous healthy sweets and a communal dining table), a large shopping area (with books, magazines, apparel, accessories and beauty items), a healing spa offering massage and a bevy of wellness services, as well as a wide variety of the yoga classes you'd expect (not just kundalini, but hatha and anusara), this really is a community center.

True to form, they host a number of events from music performances to book signings. All that considered, one of the best bets is still the old school kundalini yoga class with meditation taught by Gurmukh weekend mornings. After the class, yogi tea is served and nearly every weekend that's followed by Gurmukh opening her home to students for a communal vegetarian dinner. The experience is definitely worth the time.
