Yoga With Janelle

Yoga With Janelle runs out of a studio on Shamrock Boulevard in the Woodmere neighborhood of Venice, built around instructor Janelle’s approach to teaching yoga across a genuinely wide range of student needs rather than a single fixed class style. The studio’s tagline, yoga and meditation for peace of mind and body, plays out in a class list that spans vigorous and gentle sessions for all levels, meaning the same studio serves an athletic student looking for a challenging flow and a beginner easing into their first practice.

What sets this studio apart from a typical neighborhood yoga class schedule is the depth of its specialized offerings. Supported yoga classes are built for students with limited mobility, using props and modified positioning to make the practice accessible regardless of physical limitation, a service that matters considerably in a city like Venice where a large share of the population is older. The studio also runs assisted living programs, bringing yoga instruction directly to residents who cannot easily travel to a studio, along with kids yoga for younger students and corporate wellness programs for local businesses looking to offer employees a stress management option. Perhaps most distinctively, the studio offers end of life meditation, a specialized practice aimed at providing comfort and peace during one of life’s most difficult transitions.

That range of programming reflects a studio built around meeting people wherever they are, physically and in life circumstance, rather than a one size fits all fitness class. Private instruction is available for individuals, small groups, and families, giving students who prefer not to join a group class an alternative path into the practice.

Venice’s demographics, with its significant retiree population living alongside younger working families, make a studio offering both assisted living outreach and standard vigorous flow classes a genuinely useful community resource rather than a niche offering. The Shamrock Boulevard location sits in a quieter residential section of the city, away from the tourist traffic near the beaches and historic downtown, which suits a practice built on a loyal, returning client base rather than drop in visitors. For residents managing chronic pain, families wanting kids exposed to mindfulness practice early, or anyone navigating a difficult life transition, Yoga With Janelle offers a level of specialized, one on one attentiveness that a larger studio chain running standardized class formats typically cannot match, reflecting the kind of small, independently run wellness business that has found a lasting place in Venice’s neighborhoods.
