About
Harmony Yoga
Harmony Yoga has been a cherished part of the South Bay community since its founding in 1999. In 2011, Najla Barile took the helm, bringing her passion and vision to the studio. With over two decades of history, Harmony Yoga has become a vital part of the community’s wellness journey, offering a welcoming space for yoga, mindfulness, and connection.
For Najla, Harmony Yoga is more than a studio—it’s a sanctuary where the community comes together to nurture their well-being and find balance in their lives.
Najla’s roots in the South Bay run deep, intertwined with a rich family tradition of small business. Her grandfather laid the foundation for this legacy in 1905, opening the very first dry-cleaning business in the South Bay. Back then, he picked up and delivered clothes by horse and buggy—a symbol of both his dedication and the personal touch that defined his work.
Over the decades, this business grew into a thriving family franchise, serving the community until it was sold in 1990. These early lessons in entrepreneurship and community connection left a lasting impression on Najla. She understands that a small business is more than a place of service—it’s a place where people come together, fostering connections that make a community feel like family.
This spirit is alive and well at Harmony Yoga. Students often share that stepping into the studio feels like “coming home.” It’s more than a yoga space; it’s a sanctuary where everyone is welcomed and cared for, just as Najla’s family has always done for the South Bay.
My vision for you centers on embracing the three “H’s”: Health, Happiness, and Harmony. In today’s fast-paced world, carving out time for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. I wholeheartedly believe that self-care and self-love are not indulgences but necessities. When you prioritize your well-being, you’re better equipped to nurture your family, excel in your work, and meet life’s challenges with grace.
As a business owner, wife, and mother, I’ve come to understand just how crucial Health, Happiness, and Harmony are for leading a balanced and fulfilling life. These principles are not just ideals; they’re what keep me grounded.
Harmony Yoga is more than a business; it’s my heart and my home. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of every student and staff member who walks through our doors. Sharing my passion for yoga through Harmony Yoga is one of my greatest joys. I’ve seen firsthand how a regular yoga practice can not only stretch and strengthen the body but also calm the mind and bring a profound sense of peace and happiness.
On behalf of myself and my wonderful team, welcome to Harmony Yoga. We’re honored to be part of your journey and look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
Namaste,
Najla Barile
