Open - Venice, California

Lilian Nowicki

The place is beyond beautiful, clean and well organized. The staff is friendly and welcoming.
Actually I was planning to try the studio once during my holiday. But after taking Daphnes restore class I was more than keen for more. She is not only warm and sweet with each of her students, her teaching style, her playlists and her voice are just perfect.
Her flow classes left me sweaty, happy and energized, her breath and sound class got me into the deepest meditative state I’ve been in so far.
Did I join 5 classes in 3 days even though I was supposed to do sightseeing? Yes. Would I do it again? Hell yes!! ‍♀️

I recently dropped into Open Studio for my first breathwork and sound bath class, and it was a game changer. This place is all about good vibes and self-discovery, right in the heart of Venice.

From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was stepping into a chill oasis. They’ve got everything set up for you — mats, blankets, and even eye pillows — so you can just kick back and focus on the experience. The instructors really know their stuff and create a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to let go and dive deep.

The breathwork session was something else. It pushed me to connect with my breath in ways I didn’t expect, helping me release some serious tension. Then came the sound bath, which was pure magic. The waves of sound washed over me, creating this incredible sense of peace. I left feeling lighter and honestly like a better person.
And let’s not forget the tea at the end—such a nice touch! Sipping on herbal tea while reflecting on the experience was the perfect way to wrap things up.

If you’re looking for a spot to unwind and recharge, Open Studio is definitely worth checking out. I can’t wait to come back for another session and see what else they have to offer.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Best yoga studio I’ve been to - the aesthetics, lighting, sound quality, incorporation of sound healing, and each instructor better than the one before (somehow). They even take care of cleaning up at the end for you, it’s very high end feeling and my body is super happy each time I leave

Open is the best breathwork, meditation, yoga, and mindfulness studio to ever exist! I will not go anywhere else. Trust me - it’s that good. The space, the music, the teachers, the staff…effortlessly perfect. This is absolutely a must-go if you’re in LA! I can’t wait to watch Open take on the world, helping people be present, connect, feel their emotions, and ultimately heal themselves by way of the various modalities they are able to offer us. This is a weekly hangout spot for me and my friends. I’m a founding member and will be for life!

I’ll preface this by saying I was gifted credits for classes, but live in San Diego and covered my own travel expenses for the trip. I’ve practiced virtually with Open for a few years and attended classes at their pop up studio and have been eagerly awaiting this studio. I’m so happy to see the fruition of their goals with this gorgeous space. I attended four classes over two days. Breathe and Sound (x2) with Manoj & Lihi, Flow with Rebecca and Restore with Olivia. They spared no expense on the design of the studio and it’s unlike what you’ll find at chain yoga studios. In the breathwork classes where you’re lying down, the speakers reverberated and enhanced the experience. Rebecca’s flow class was challenging yet fun, with a dynamic dance break and Eestore with Olivia was soothing and I was surprised to see a 50/50 gender balance in the class. I can’t wait to visit again and wish we had this in San Diego. Congrats to the founders and the friendly team.

SOMEONE IS DOING FRAUD - I received a $150 charge on my card… after taking a class pass class with them. Please make sure when you are filling the waiver, you read the full print. They might be taking basic information from your class pass account, and your waiver to charge you for more money.

Worst experience ever, if I could put no stars I would.

a very honest review:
- very nasty staff (teachers are nice tho)
- the front desk girl physically closed the door on me. literally pushed me aside and said “validation is over there” and I was like “unm, im just trying to thank the teacher
- parking is TERRIBLE. their claim of $5 with validation…well if you get there more than 15 minutes before class they make you circle the block. and the doors to studio dont open until a few minutes before start time so they herd everyone in like cattle and you dont have ANY time to warm up or stretch.
- if you stay Evn ONE minute past 90 minutes, (changing, saying thanks to teacher) parking goes automatically to $20.
- and the crowd is full of boogie instagram girls self video taping their practife.

I received an attempted $20 charge to my card that declined thank goodness. I’m not even located in Venice never even heard of the studio. This place is doing fraud not sure how they even got my card information.
