Lotus Doula Tribe is a studio in Ojai that builds much of its week around yoga for parents and expecting families. Its classes lean toward mornings, with a steady group of evening sessions. Sound runs through the schedule, from gong and bowls to sound baths, so a visit often combines movement with a slower, listening practice.
It suits you if

What the classes look like
Most of what happens at Lotus Doula Tribe is yoga, and around a third of the classes are yoga itself. Parent and child sessions take up a similar share, so families and people preparing for birth are well served here. Morning classes are the larger part of the timetable, with the evening sessions running from around 6pm to 7pm.
The studio's sound classes are a smaller but distinct thread. Gong and bowls, a sound bath and a candlelight yoga and sound bath all bring listening into the practice. A session that pairs a prenatal yoga practice with a sound bath is among the example classes, which shows how the two sides of the studio meet.
Who leads and who it suits
Lotus Doula Tribe is a small studio. A handful of facilitators teach across the week, and Mary Skinner leads more classes than anyone else. Most classes run about 90 minutes, with the parent and child sessions shorter at around 45 minutes.
The studio's classes are set up around stages of life, so they tend to suit people who are expecting, new parents, or those looking for a gentler, restorative practice. Nothing is scheduled at midday or on weekends, so mornings and early evenings are where to plan a visit.
