Agoura Power of Yoga

What a tremendous studio filled with beautiful people and passionate instructors. Dawn, Tiffany, Natalie, Natasha, and Zach all inspiring in their own right and to each I owe a piece of my practice and life.

I was introduced to Agoura Power Yoga from a friend and after having worked right around the corner from here for some many years I’m kind cling myself I didn’t know it was here sooner. I enjoy the Wednesday morning 7:00am class with Drorit. She really gets me flowing and held push my yoga to the next level. I enjoy that she brings different kinds of music each week which can really set a great one for each class.
The studio it’s self is not extremely large so you get the intimate energy and when class is more full it can really bring the heat. I have tried out many yoga studios in the area but never settled into one because it lacked the close knit feel and high energy flow feeling of here. It offers both pre-​bought packages along with donation based classes. I come all the way from Camarillo each week to participate, it’s just that great.
Yoga is for everyone! It’s both physical and spiritual. Drorit offers all levels of poses through out class which makes it great for beginners and advanced yogis. So leave your judgements and insecurities at the door but bring your open heart and whether you’re just starting or looking to get to the next level this could be the place for you.

I really enjoy this studio. Nice space, restful but spacious enough to do anything in, and I like the little Old Agoura feel of the center. I have been to a handful of classes here and will keep coming.
I would give it 5 stars but I have not yet found a very creative class that really creates time and space with a workshop feel in 90 minute class (which mind you is tough to do!). But for the area it might be my favorite yoga studio, every instructor I have taken is competent, safe, sweet and very good.

Zach Wagner is a fabulous yoga instructor! Some yoga classes are taught by someone who has a career outside of yoga who likes to perform yoga and earn money by allowing others to watch and follow along. Zach teaches yoga full-​time, both classes and private lessons. He performs his own yoga early in the morning, so during your yoga, he can watch and help you improve! When I started yoga with Zach, I had sciatica and often could not touch my own toes. Now I am active and doing much better!

Absolutely love everything about this studio! I take Drorit’s class every Saturday morning and let me just tell you she rocks the house! There is such a beautiful, positive energy about her that she brings to each and every class she teaches. I always leave feeling incredible and uplifted!
All of the instructors are awesome and bring something different to each class they teach. If you are thinking of taking a class I highly recommend you do!!!
Nameste!

I really like this place. It’s tiny, the instructors are great, and it’s donation-​based, which is cool. Much nicer than the kind of yoga studio where there are 30 people all squished together.

I’m a big Yoga Person and I had heard alot about Agoura Power of Yoga from friends and people in the Area. So I decided to take few classes since I had the week off from School. So here is my comments. Cheers
I have only taken three classes at Agoura Power of Yoga: Drorit, Dafna and Zach.
Drorit — Your class was amazing, you have so much energy you can light up the universe. I had so much fun in your class it made my day. You can turn any class into something special. I love the quotes you come up with. I would love to see more teachers like you.
Dafna — Your class was ok, but there was no energy, not sure if you where off that day mentally, my bf told me you where the best. I didn’t feel it in your class, seemed like something was missing. I might need to come see you again and bring my bf.
Zach — Your class was weird in a good way. You put me in positions I thought I would never be in. And when you stand on me and put in positions i never thought i could be in. I didn’t think my body could do those things.

Drorit Rudin’s 9am Power Yoga class is my personal auto correct. No matter how depleted, defeated or devolved I feel walking into her class in the morning, the aftermath is nothing short of a complete transformation on every level. With a seemingly endless supply of positive energy and charisma, Drorit marries a consummately physical practice with gentle affirmations read from various texts, eclectic, groovy music, and genuine maternal concern for her students.
This studio attracts a friendly, conscious, diverse crowd who bring a familial camaraderie into the room and the feeling of unconditional acceptance is palpable.
Do be forewarned this 90 minute intermediate/​advanced class is extremely physically challenging and fast paced, so prior knowledge of asanas is a must. By the end of the session you will have earned your savasana induced nirvana.
Because I admit to being a Drorit groupie, I personally have yet to try any other classes or instructors but I am certain they too live up to this studio’s high standards.
There is a small in house upscale boutique here and next door at New Moon Wellness, a treasure trove of health related resources, artisanal kombucha tea on tap, and organic treats.
This is a magical little corner of Agoura and I feel very privileged to call it ‘home’.

Newcomer here! I took Drorit’s 9 AM Power Yoga class this morning and I’m totally glowing from the experience! It was incredible – tremendously mentally and physically stimulating. I’m still riding the post-​yoga zen a couple hours later. Oh, and is that some muscle tonage I see already forming on my biceps? (Hoho)
She walked around as she talked us into the next position, gently and lovingly adjusting those who needed a little help. Everyone seemed to do their own thing, which initially felt chaotic since I was watching her/​him for guidance, but it was fine once I got into my own zone of flow.
Drorit’s genre of choice for today’s class was classic 70s rock. I’m a diehard fan of 70s rock (thanks to my totally radical Dad for instilling in me the immeasurable and transcendental appreciation of great music), but trying to successfully follow through on a half moon pose while maintaining steady breathing without toppling over as righteous rock distractedly blares in my ears is not an easy task. I recuperated quickly, though, considering this a minor molehill: the more my mind is distracted by exterior stimuli, the more I need to breathe and clear my mindsicle.
Although this isn’t Hot Yoga, you’ll sweat buckets, so bring a towel and wear light clothes. Try to arrive 10 – 15 minutes early to get a spot, although there seems to be enough room for everyone, like magic. Newcomers, situate yourself in the back so you can peak at those around you.
The class is suitable for all levels; there will be those around you that are less or more advanced, but this practice is all about you, so mend and mold accordingly to your unique ability and comfort. I spent half the time forcing myself to keep up with the more experienced yogis, and I urge you to avoid doing so. I felt at ease once I let go of all expectations and really listened to and honored my body’s restrictions.
The studio itself is tiny, offering one class at a time, but I love the intimacy and welcoming vibes this inspires. Staff and students alike are friendly, smiling, and beyond chill. No showers, unfortunately!
The classes are donations-​based ($ 16 minimum is recommended), so try a class out before joining if you’re still on the fence.
I’m looking forward to jumpstarting and solidifying my practice and seeing what the other (apparently stellar) teachers have to offer here at Agoura Power Yoga. (I’ll be adding photos as visual reference for y’all!)
Namaste, friends!

Awesome yoga studio I’ve been practicing at on and off for close to 2 years now.
The owner Drorit is incredible and really cares about her customers. Additionally all the instructors here are very dynamic and gifted — each has their own unique style and way of teaching. It’s great because you never get bored and have so many options of fantastic instructors. Very welcoming studio and you will feel right at home !

I go here all the time, it’s a great place with amazing teachers! The fact that it is donation based is wonderful. All the teachers are certified except their acro– teacher… I emailed them about this and they never responded to me so I haven’t been back since that.
I have been to every class they offer and they are all fantastic and spiritually oriented! Definitely would recommend them however I’m just extremely disappointed that they do not require their teachers to be accredited, even though most of their teachers are
Their yoga store is awesome and sells brands like teeki which uses recycled bottles, and handmade local crafts. Dawn (one of the teachers) is wonderful and her classes are always ebullient and full of joy.
I’m simply disappointed that they haven’t rectified the yoga certification issue yet, so I am boycotting this place until they hold themselves to a higher standard.
Dawns classes fill fast so always go early!

Agoura power of yoga is a really rad studio. I took Stephen Gunters partner acro class and he was an excellent instructor. He helped me a ton with my posture and technique and made we want to come back for more and get really in to acro

I’m NOT familiar with yoga yet so I can’t say it’s «as good as it gets» but I was super happy & defiantly coming back!

I love this studio! I have been to yoga in NY and Chicago and I miss APOY every time I travel. There is something special about it — from the time that the yoga teachers take with their music play list, which vary every time, to the spiritual quotes that they talk about about at the beginning and at the end of class. Drorit, Allison and Julie are phenomenal teachers who inspire at every class. I walk away feeling like I am a better version of myself each time.

I love Power of Yoga! I travel a lot, but any time I’m in town I try to make Drorit’s Saturday morning class (I’ve never sweat so much in my life as I have in that class). She’s really fun, and I love her music choices – great playlists, cranked up loud, with everything from folk to hip hop.
I recently took Zach’s ashtanga class for the first time. Unbeknownst to me, ashtanga is a series of prescribed poses, held for a prescribed amount of time – it’s the same every time. I spent the first half of the class kind of hating it. Zach seemed really abrupt, and the poses seemed mechanical. By the end of the class, I loved it. The predictability is actually a huge plus; since I know where I’m going, I can put 100% into each pose rather than holding back. Zach is a great teacher, and will take time to demonstrate each pose to new student, or give physical corrections to those who need it, or help you move deeper into a pose.
Even though it’s a small, one-​studio place, the schedule at Power of Yoga works really well for me.

I drive over 20 miles to take Zach Wagner’s classes 5 – 6 days a week.
He is an amazing, talented and knowledgeable teacher. Zach is definitely one of the very few teachers I have met that is truly dedicated to his students growth and is passionate about what he teaches. By taking his classes, i have become a more mindful, steady and flexible individual. I continue to grow and learn something new every time. From the moment this class starts to when the class ends your outside problems or worries completely melt away.
If you are interested in taking and exploring Zach’s Ashtanga class, I encourage you to do some research on your own on what Ashtanga is all about. You can also watch Zach’s youtube channel to get a small glimpse of what to expect in his classes.

Do not get discourage of what you might see others doing in class. Go at your own pace!

I love Agoura Power of Yoga. This is my go to studio when I come home for the holidays to visit. In particular I like taking classes from Zach. He is so knowledgeable. He always seems to take me into poses I never thought would be possible for me! Most importantly there is a mystical quality to his teaching– in his classes the room seems to hum.
Thank you Agoura Power of Yoga for creating this sacred space to come home to!

This is an absolutely amazing place for both beginners and advanced yogis alike. All the teachers, Zach, Dorit, and the rest are dedicated to their practice and are warm and welcoming. The first time I went, Zach offered me guidance through every move and has been an amazing mentor ever since. If anyone is considering trying yoga– DO IT. The environment is calm and friendly, and you will feel great after your practice!
Namaste :)

I drive all the way to Agoura Hills to take Zach’s classes.
First of all, Agoura Power of Yoga is the only studio that has Ashtanga classes 4x a week within a 15ish mile radius.
Second, Zach’s an intuitive and talented instructor, himself a devoted student of the Ashtanga yoga system. He knows what he’s teaching because he does it himself, 6 times a week, at ridiculous hours of the morning. Zach is truly a gem in the valley– he cares about his students and will be happy to answer any questions you have about the practice with warmth and encouragement. (I’ve probably asked him over 100 questions and he’s still answering them with a smile.)
If you’re fairly new to yoga and want to try out Zach’s class, you might want to do a quick Google search of the Ashtanga yoga poses and structure. Ashtanga yoga is more stringent than your average vinyasa/​power flow class. It requires a lot of mental and physical strength, but it is no less rewarding.

Really glad we made it to this studio (we were in the area because we were camping after Bhakti Fest). We took Ashtanga with Zach and he was phenomenal — great cues, adjustments, and overall attitude — learned a few things too.
The studio was nice and clean and I would definitely suggest this to any yogis (or ashtangis) traveling through.
