Golden Sol

I had such a wonderful visit to Golden Sol this evening. I attended the breath work class hosted by Ashley Neese. It was a new experience for me and truly opened my eyes up to different possibilities in working with and understanding myself.
I was struck by the warm and friendly community I found the moment I walked through the door. I am new to LA and it was wonderful to feel so welcomed immediately.
I love that they offer more than yoga classes and I plan to come back soon and hopefully on a regular basis.
Thank you for such a warm welcome!

I recently participated in Sada Simran’s Manifestation Project at Golden Sol Yoga and Wellness Center in Los Feliz. Sada is a clinical psychologist, as well as a certified Kundalini teacher, Sat Nam Rasayan practitioner, and birth doula.
This for-​women-​only, 5-​week course blends kundalini yoga — yoga using various breath techniques, combined with mantras — with individual sharing about an issue or problem that each participant is working on.
Sada is intelligent, grounded and direct. She is a superb listener. She will focus on each person with a loving yet laser-​like presence, to help identify what is in the way of expressing your best and highest self.
Although she jokingly called it the Hot Seat. But, Sada created an environment of support and compassion while gently holding up a mirror to each of us. Sada says that people who aren’t ready to do the work of self-​healing, usually don’t find their way into her classes.
But once each of us understood what our ‘work’ was, Sada gave us homework to help dissolve old behaviors and embrace the process of discovering a new, more meaningful and more self-​valuing path.
These were usually baby steps to help us become more conscious of the times we check out, and allowed the old patterns run us. Some of the homework included meditations and journaling. Others were concrete steps to take during the week that would begin shifting patterns.
Although this work isn’t easy or fast, Sada, and all the workshop members, created a safe place to be vulnerable and receive support, camaraderie and encouragement. The work isn’t all serious — each session brought plenty of laughter, too.
If you have been looking for a psycho-​spiritual approach to heal yourself from some behavioral ruts, and are ready to do the work, Dr. Sada Simran is a powerful and wise teacher.

Golden Sol is definitely my Home for Om. Amy and Marisol have created an incredible healing space with teachers and practitioners who are knowledgeable, kind, passionate and have a deep caring for everyone who enters their doors.
There are wonderful classes offered at very convenient times and when you are in the space, you feel like you are at home, and part of a loving community. LA can get lonely at times, and you never feel like a stranger here.
Amy and Marisol spend a lot of time giving back to the community by donating time and resources to the Downtown Women’s’ Shelter., exemplifying that a large part of spiritual work involves community and caring for those who are less fortunate.
If you yearn for a kind loving community and love yoga, Golden Sol is the best place set up your mat, make a cup of tea, and meet some new friends.

I love Golden Sol! This was my introduction to Kundalini Yoga (Class on Saturday with Amy /​Sajjan) and I got hooked. I enjoy how she teaches you how to adapt the practices into everyday life. I also enjoy Hatha/​Kundalini with Susan (Seva Simran) on Wednesdays.
The energy at the studio is fantastic, the people are nice and every time I leave a class I feel happy and recharged — You can’t put a price on that. Give it a try, highly recommended!

Kundalini classes every day at reasonable times. And the instructors are wonderful. I’m in love!

Absolutely amazing place with awesome people! Amy may be the greatest person I have ever met– full of energy and sunshine, she has a way of making you feel happy and uplifted. Very positive place!

Just arrived in LA a week ago (snow bird), and the people I rent from told me about this new kundalini yoga place so I went (usually I wait a little before I go somewhere someone recommends) … but Golden Sol pulled me in quickly and I’ve been twice in a week. The first time was magical, Marisol was teaching, I needed to purge and I did. I went back the second time for Marisol’s class again, a Sunday morning class (930am) or church as I like to refer to it; Marisol is an amazing teacher that is very intuitive and warm and uses essential oils, what a bonus. I got the new student special $ 30 for 3 classes, I should of done 10 classes for $ 100 but in any case I will become a regular in this sacred space in Los Feliz. I great place for me to unwind this winter.

This place is amazing. It’s only a year old but it already has the foundation to grow into an institution. I took a kundalini class with one of the owners, Amy Golden. She is skilled, bubbly, kind, and a great teacher. I highly recommend. No matter your level you will find a class perfect for you. Because even if you were just holding space in the room and not doing anything, you would walk out happy. So highly recommend

There is a special energy in the studio at Golden Sol. It was the first Yoga Studio I found when I came to LA. I happened upon the quaint little house and entered into a world that immediately took me away from the chaos in LA. I was greeted with hot tea and warm smiles. Being a Venice Beach local, I happily drive across the city when I need a quick fix in the homely little studio. It makes for a desirable spot to open your heart and mind. Any local or tourist should consider themselves lucky to stumble upon this LA gem! Unlike other studios, I’ve found myself in a class full of brand new students, still having the same powerful effects, similar to my practices within a room full of 40 avid yogi’s. The teachers and the space is special. Enjoy it :)

The instructors and practitioners who work here are really wonderful, down to earth, all around lovely people. The prices are also very reasonable.
I’ve attended a few Kundalini yoga sessions now and each time I go in sore, tired, and spent, but leave balanced and empowered.
I’m now in process with a 40-​day meditation to open up my heart, also through this great place.
Golden Sol with Amy and Marisol, also arrange a monthly lunch making party for the downtown women’s shelter. This last month the many great people of Golden Sol and it’s students like myself got to make 150 lunches!
I’m so happy to have found such a wonderful organization that truly is invested in the well-​being of all those who visit, as well as those who are less fortunate.

There are very few moments in life when you feel that you find a home away from home, but this place is it. It literally is in a home as opposed to some office building at the end of a long hall. The energy of this spot is extremely specific to healing, rejuvenation, and acceptance. If your able to quiet your mind enough in the craziness that is LA, you will hear a soft and gentle beating heart in the distance, and that is Golden Sol. The teachers are dedicated, well informed, and devoted to their students making long lasting personal friendships. Amidst the chaos of ones life it is important to re-​establish their roots, being sure to give it plenty of water, sunlight and love. Golden Sol is that place. Thank you Golden Sol for giving me a reason to want to get up early and a space to develop into a happier healthier and holier human being. I love you with every ounce of my heart!

What a wonderful place!
GoldenSol is just one of those special places I go to when I just need a little something special to keep me going. I just love this studio!
First of all the atmosphere is just warm and welcoming. I just love the homey feeling of the studio, the wood floors, the beautiful art work on the walls, the check-​in area/​kitchen is set-​up with beautiful tea’s, water, and other special treats (all for free) it just makes me feel good and welcomed
Second of all the teachers are all different and special people. The type of yoga that is practiced is Kundalini which works on you mind and body, all of the teachers have their own special interpretation. Some add Hatha yoga, some add special sounds (the Soundbath is my favorite) some just let you enjoy the music and move in that special Kundlini way.
Most of all they offer other different ways to either relax of let go! I’m talking about the Healing Breath Class (this is my favorite, I would give this infinity stars!) All I can say is this is a very personal class, you take what you want from it. You work on your body and mind with breathing excersises, and other special things that Marisol, your guide, brings into that moment. I walk out of that class feeling sooooo… good I can just do anything (climb mountains, do the laundry, or eat a chocolate bar, I try to be healthy sometimes and eat Dark Chocolate with Raspberry Marshmallow).
Well what else can I say, if you need some special care, you must try this place. You deserve it.

5 stars for Amy Golden and the lovely Golden Sol yoga studio!

Darling gem of a yoga & healing oasis! Discovered this studio from a flyer while exploring the neighborhood and was looking at yoga options. I dropped into one of the afternoon classes and was delighted at how welcoming and genuine everyone was. It is located in a house that has been intentionally decorated and expertly arranged to feel comfortable and healing which is remarkable in a space that is so intimate. I was warmly greeted by Sol (one of the owners) who gave me a tour of the space. Its not just a yoga center but they also offer massage and other healing modalities. Bonus they also have a meditation room where you can join either a guided meditation or enjoy it on your own during open times, a nice option to take a break from the chaos of traffic, stress, and life in this bustling city. The yoga class itself was a perfect blend of challenge and zen! The teacher Sam was so sweet and gave excellent instruction with the perfect amount of adjustments and connected flow of the right movements leaving me feeling an elevated state of bliss! It is more than just a yoga studio but a community hub of authentic, clear, and warm loving people. Very cool they also offer many options to make it affordable so it is more assessable with the flows of freelancing as well to a broader populace. I am delighted to have found my favorite new spot to zen out in Los Feliz!

Love it. I’ve been several times, and I always leave feeling… just…really Good. Awake. I feel awake and aware and calm, like everything is open, if that makes any sense. The teachers are great, the price is actually Cheap (for a yoga class), and the technique (Kundalini) is, well it’s fantastic. And I love that it’s in Highland Park. Holla!

These girls are amazing. The Yoga is great for me. i am a 35 year old dude and I love the classes… came away energized and feeling good.

I was very hesitant about doing soemthing like Yoga — as I am not the fittest person in California. However — Golden Sol is amazing! I feel so completely at home and welcome! They are caring and helpful. Kundalini Yoga is the PERFECT ending to a long, tedious week of working. It doesn’t seem to matter how tense I am feeling — I leave there with a smile on my face! It is a great way to start the weekend — a clear, free mind AND a more limber body — all tension gone. The teachers are fabulous! I appreciate the «this is not a competition, just do what you can do» attitude. The spirituality is so calming and is something you can easily take into other parts of life. Great teachers, great people, great location!

For me, Kundalini Yoga is where it’s at! I so enjoy having a Friday night Yoga class that helps me unwind and welcomes me into the weekend. Golden Sol is the perfect solution for me as Kundalini Yoga helps me tone my body and discipline my mind. That mind discipline doesn’t come to me through the other yogic forms and I’m deeply appreciative of this collective. The teachers are wonderful, the energy of the classes is fantastic, and the space has a great communal vibe.
