Among the vast sea of LA yoga studios, West Hollywood’s Playlist Yoga, which first opened in January 2016, has been quickly gathering devotees from various athletic backgrounds and is being referred to by some as the SoulCycle of yoga. Cofounded by Jordan Cohen, a former attorney, DJ, and Cross Fit enthusiast, Playlist delivers a 60-minute vinyasa flow set to highly curated playlists that combine everything from classic rock hits to indie pop and hip hop. DJ Nikki Pennie oversees these music selections, working closely with each instructor and chief yoga officer Nicole Sciacca (from Venice Beach’s Hustle & Flow) to create an experience that is more high-energy than Zen—but just as easy to get lost in. The sleek and modern space dominated by concrete floors and black and gray décor also offers numbered mat spaces, which can be reserved ahead of time, and a wall of lockers named after music icons. Classes range from $25 per session to $1,500 for an unlimited yearly pass. (playlistyoga.com)
