rising lotus yoga has some of the best classes in the city! i live on the other side of the hill, but when my schedule permits, i make it a special treat to head over and take class there. i have taken yoga for 14 years and this place is great. parking is easy - $0.50 for two hours at the meter (love the valley!), they have some designated spaces behind the studio, and there is parking on some sidestreets. after class, you can stroll had have tea with a yoga friend at several neighborhood spots. it is a super yoga studio in a sweet little neighborhood block of sherman oaks. check it out. i highly recommend it.
Pros: lovely studio, great teachers, nice students
Cons: a bit far from where i live so i don't frequent as much as i would like
