YAS is a MUST 
I joined YAS a year ago and got addicted to it. The environment is great, the people are awesome and the Yoga for Athletes class gave me muscles I never knew I had. In addition, by adding spinning to my workout I was able to lose 20 lbs and look as hot as ever. I highly recommend. Too bad Kimberly doesn't teach more classes!!!!!

I Love YAS 
YAS is packed with fun, great looking people who are there to have a good time. The spinning classes are amazing. Great music, energy and motivating. The yoga cuts to the chase..NO CHANTING!! It's the best. It's a beautiful, safisticated, hip, warm and a welcoming environment. You should really check it out.

Try the YAS class for a total workout or Yoga for Athletes for a good strength, toning and stretching class

Ya's Yoga & Spinning Center has a zen atmosphere and excellent teachers. If you go to the classes at off times, you might even get a one-on-one session! Checkout their website for a coupon for a free class. They have cute Ya's work-out clothing in the lobby for sale. Parking is sparse, so jog or bike if possible. The new Yoga For Athletes class is a must try!

snooze
can only comment on spin. very basic, monotonous routine. probably not a bad place to learn. teachers are not any better, and in many case much worse, than what you'd get at a full-on gym (which is surprising given the focus on spinning here)

I am skeptical about EVERYTHING
My email address says a lot about me. I try new things all of the time but am always looking for what's wrong. I was on the Yoga Journal website and read a posting about YAS and the writer seemed a lot like me. So, I decided to check out their Yoga for Athletes class. I have to say, the class was hard! I was sweating like CRAZY (which I like), the class was packed (which I like) and when I looked around the room I was surrounded by celebrity types (which was kind of cool in a LA sort of way). The people seemed really happy to be there. Kimberly Fowler, who taught the class was inspiring. I bought a 10 class pass and plan on making YAS part of my routine. This skeptic gives YAS a big thumbs up!
Pros: The teachers, the people, the environment, the staff
Cons: Parking was a little challenging

GET "YAWNED"
Obviously the people writing the great reviews own YAS, and are on the desperate, self promotion band wagon as they get ready to unleash their uninspirational workout monster on L.A. Getting "YASED" simply means mundane, repetitive, non inspirational yoga, coupled with the same old spun spin. No imagination or variation. If you've had a lobotomy, are mentally challenged, or know nothing about yoga and spinning, then this is the place for you. Theres nothing like doing yoga to the Smashing Pumpkins to get centered. The environment is as cold as the staff and the moves as rigid as the personalities. And if you are drawn to self indulgent, self absorb instructors (sans a few) that are like step ford wives in their approach to spinning and yoga, then go to Yas.
Pros: you can leave
Cons: repetitive...always the same

Have you been YAS'd??
The best yoga I have done in LA! A straight up approach to yoga that has a kick to it with the addition of spinning....If you want to get in the amazing shape give this place a try. Do a spin class followed by the yoga and you'll work up a serious sweat and feel great....awesome instructors, friendly staff that know your name, not just scanning a card...Go get YAS'd!!!
Pros: Instructors, Atmosphere, Great music in the Spinning

YAS Rocks!!!!
Great location, atmosphere and instructors make YAS the number one Yoga and Spinning studio in the LA area. Love the intensity and music that the Spinning instructors bring to their classes and after a Spinning class the best way to finish is with a Yoga for Athletes class.
Pros: Always a great workout.
