Hamsa Studio will host Sweet Morning Yoga on Sunday morning. Since it’s inception in 2016, Hamsa has always been more than a movement studio -- it’s a space of respite where we come together to get lost in the bliss of movement, receive inspiration and support from our ever-growing community, relish in the strength and fluidity of our bodies, and leave with the spirit to take on the world. You will immediately feel inspired when you walk into our gorgeous 2,500 square foot Hamsa studio space located in the magical valley of Ojai, California.
