Spa-Like Wellness in Culver City
As soon as you walk into Shanti Hot Yoga, there’s a sense of peace as the Ayurvedic inspired design immediately takes you out of the city and into a place centered around the five elements of nature. This new spa-like wellness studio in Culver City opened on July 1 and welcomes you with a live plant-waterfall. The space with two practice rooms specializes in heated yoga classes. Every signature yoga teacher on the schedule is at least a minimum Yoga Alliance Registered 500 E-RYT.
Studio Founder Star Rader herself has completed more than 1,000 hours of training. She decided to open a holistic studio after a career in accounting at a major firm. Both her entrepreneurial spirit and dedicated practice inspired the idea to leave the corporate space and instead transform people with the power of yoga. Star said,“I am feeling grateful to finally open our doors and look forward to cultivating a community that can provide something for everyone – from new friends, stamina, strength, flexibility, to more peace of mind, a little more Shanti (Peace) in the bustling city.”

Yoga and More
In addition to an array of yoga classes, the studio also offers barre, sculpt, meditation, sound baths, and guest workshops—plus a healing room for acupuncture and chiropractic care, locker rooms with stone pebbles and rainfall showers, and a retail space. Parking is validated for two hours in the Access Culver City Development garage. Memberships are well priced and mat and towel service are included with the Shanti Unlimited.
Deborah, the principal of Belle Vie Interiors worked extensively with Star and the team on every detail in the creation of this wellness sanctuary. Shanti Hot Yoga features a state-of-the art, safe heating system which provides constant fresh air circulation and disinfects the studio with UV lights.
I love how Shanti Hot Yoga blends ancient wisdom with modern luxury and prides itself on its mission to provide an educated staff to support the community’s physical and emotional nourishment. Each visit is a new experience designed to serve your soul and keep you coming back for more peace of mind.
