3 Yoga Studios to Move You

Lihi Benisty leads a dynamic blend of somatic practices—both privately and at wellness studios throughout California and internationally — to help her clients build emotional resilience and inner confidence. Her teaching approach fosters self-inquiry through breathwork, movement, sound, and other mediums, and she recently published her first book of poetry to deepen the themes she explores in her work. A regular guide at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, this summer, she’ll lead a two-day workshop there titled “The Self, Reframed: An Exploration Through Breath and Somatic Self-Inquiry” (July 4-6; join the waitlist at esalen.org or visit lihibe.com for info). So when we asked for her top three local wellness classes to try, she happily shared her favorite fellow teachers and studios to help you move through this summer with intention.
