The Hill Street Center:
Meditation & Yoga in Santa Monica
For decades, the Hill Street Center for Yoga and Meditation has been a quiet yet vital presence in the Santa Monica community. While Santa Monica has long been a hub for yoga in Southern California — with countless studios shaping the culture — the Hill Street Center has steadily provided a home for meditation, yoga, and progressive community outreach.
Tucked beside the Church on Ocean Park, the small, welcoming house continues to host meaningful courses and events.
