These classes are both fundraiser classes for a non-profit of the teacher’s choosing and/or affinity classes for students from historically marginalized communities. Holding these classes is something we’ve done at ODD for years, but we’re re-committing to them this year, with the new name and a minimum commitment of at least one offering a month.

About Angela

“I came to yoga for ordinary reasons: to manage anxiety, stress, and what I recognize now as disembodiment. Since then, I have been enthralled by the diversity of ways we move- how the body becomes a laboratory for connection to the self. I’ve been fortunate to learn from many great teachers: my first teacher training was in Rishikesh, India, where I trained in Astanga Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga."

Pronouns: She/Her

Hometown: Princeton, NJ

Favorite Artist(s): slenderbodies, Stravinsky, tool, Hozier, Portugal. the Man, Kendrick Lamar, alt-j. a lot of gooey stuff.

ODD fact: I have a 22-yr-old snake named Quentin!

Angela’s Class Style

“My classes (and my practice) are inspired by traditional lineages, modern methods, and their interactions. You’ll be guided through an inquiry-driven practice with an emphasis on joyful agency and whole-body connection. In class, expect fun and creative sequences that engage multiple dimensions of physical and mental experience.

Come for something to challenge and align body, breath, and mind. We’ll explore familiar shapes in new ways; create new shapes in familiar ways. Multiple options are offered to find what you need. And always the practice of cultivating presence and mindfulness in why we move.

I hope that you leave my class feeling inspired, present, and with a sense of calm that persists throughout your day."

We can’t wait for you to get to know Angela– see you in class! Class Schedule >>

Hi Friends, it’s Carmen here, ODD’s Retail Raven! First off I want to thank you all for shopping with us this year, it means so much to us! When you shop with us, you’re not only supporting this small business but also brands that are either local, eco-friendly, BIPOC, woman-owned or made by our very own students!

Here are some of our favorite budget-friendly and splurge-worthy purchases for the holiday season.

Budget-Friendly Gifts

Clean Circle Reusable Bamboo Charcoal Makeup Remover Pads

Ditch those disposable make-up remover wipes for these reusable beauties! Love that they are charcoal-infused and even have a pointed edge to get all that mascara and liner off of your eyes.

Halfmoon Linen Hot and Cold Therapy Pillow

The perfect gift after a year online, say goodbye to that tech neck with this lovely lavender scented linen neck pillow.

Manduka Recycled Foam Yoga Block

Blocks are for everyone, sometimes we just need the floor to get a little closer to our hands or our muscles are too tight and we need a little support. I also love to sit on my blocks during zoom meetings.

People of Color Nail Polish

Jacqueline was never into nail polish but when her daughter began painting her nails she created a line that reflected on brown towns. What’s not to love, it’s non-toxic, stays on and the color options are chic and fun!

Salt & Stone Deodorant

Another staff obsession, especially their new Formula No 2 for sensitive skin. It uses arrowroot powder instead of baking soda and keeps you smelling fresh all day!

Yoga Tune Up Balls

My favorite holiday gift of all time, seriously my entire family has their own set! You can’t go wrong with the gift of massage. I love to take these on long drives and flights.

Gifts to Spoil Them (Or Yourself)!

Back Beat Co. Recycled Cotton Puff Sleeve Sweatshirt

Teacher Cindy’s favorite sweatshirt this year! It’s comfy but gives you a bit of style with the voluminous sleeves.

Beyond Yoga Spacedye Set

If you have not heard our desk staff or teachers talk about Spacedye, I’ll have a talk with them! J/K our obsession with this incredibly soft material is genuine. Our Digital Marketing Manager, Abbigail probably has the Slim Racerback Tank in every color and most of us have more Spacedye Leggings in our closets than, as Caitlin calls them, hard pants!

Girlfriend Collective Unitard

It’s a chic black unitard, a wardrobe staple.

Halfmoon Rectangular Bolster

For the yogi in your life who loves a good Restore class, Halfmoon provides a great firm and sturdy bolster to support your practice.

Manduka Prolite Yoga Mat

A durable and dependable mat for the yogi in your life or as a present to yourself for completing our Strong & Steady challenge!

You can shop online or at our Echo Park, Silverlake, and Eagle Rock locations!

Happy Holidays, friends, and happy shopping!

We are overjoyed to welcome Hannah to the teaching team! She is a person of many talents, an extremely grounded teacher, and has a warming presence that will make you feel like you’ve known her for years. A long-time member of the ODDfam (she completed her 200 TT with us a few years back), having her teach with us feels so right!

Meet Hannah!

“Growing up with hippie parents in Central Texas, I have vague memories of yoga poses in the living room or on the school playground but it wasn’t until I was an adult, bouncing around different studios via Groupon, that yoga found me exactly when I needed it. I vividly remember the first time I was in savasana and felt that overwhelming sense that I was taken care of, and I’ve been a student ever since.

Through this practice, I’ve found a connection with myself, with community, and with spirituality that I never even knew I wanted. I did my 200hr training at ODD, have had so many meaningful experiences here, and am stoked to be joining the long list of incredible teachers."

Pronouns: she/her

Hometown: San Antonio, TX

Favorite Artists: James Blake, Arlo Parks, Local Natives, Tame Impala

ODD fact: Voted Best Personality in high school (hair flip)

Class Style: Grounded, intuitive, playful. More of a work in than a work out but challenging enough to stay focused on the present.

Steven (goes by either Steve or Steven, whichever name rings true to you!) is a long-time teacher in the Echo Park neighborhood who we are so lucky to have joined the ODDfam! His classes are strong (think arm balances and inversions) and he offers great insights into the poses and philosophy of yoga. A dedicated practitioner himself, he’ll have you exploring new shapes while charming your socks off. Come see Steven in class– early mornings at ODD Echo Park!

Meet Steven!

“I was born and raised right here in Los Angeles. (We do exist!) I started practicing yoga after a pretty tumultuous time in my life. It was the first thing I had in a long time that gave me self-confidence and community. I love yoga. The moment you step foot in my class you will know this. I spent my childhood (and my adult life) collecting comic books and wishing that I had superpowers. With yoga, I have accomplished that lifelong dream. 

When you do something you love there is a passion that is present that is undeniable and visceral. My superpower isn’t my flexibility or my strength. My power is my passion and my ability to care about and inspire my students’ journey. I believe in the power of intention. I believe in the power of laughter. I believe in the power that each of us brings to our practice. In my own personal practice, I love to work on handstands and backbends. I love adventures like road tripping with my partner just as much as I enjoy staying home reading or working on my comic book collection.

I also love doing things with my three little dogs and medium-sized snake. You can often find all five of us walking through the park on a warm afternoon." 

Pronouns: he/him

Hometown: Echo Park

Favorite Artists: Thrice and Mariah Carey (not together, although that would be awesome)

ODD Fact: I have never lived outside of Los Angeles. 

Class style: Fun yet challenging, adventurous yet structured. Playful sequences with alignment-specific instruction that leads to accessible surprises. Classes have themes that connect yoga philosophy to modern life. You will leave with a smile!

Halloween has always been one of my family’s favorite holidays. My mom was an excellent seamstress and always made us such awesome costumes! When we could, the costumes would be passed down to other family members.  

As I grew out of the princess and witch costumes, I loved exploring what was in my closet or what regular clothing I could purchase to transform into a costume. I cannot sew but I do love getting pretty creative, from wearing my running clothes and a veil to be a runaway bride, to gluing butterflies on a headband to be a Snapchat filter, it’s a fun way to get into the spirit of the season. Now that we’re living in yoga leggings and joggers, it’s time to turn these into comfy costumes!
