Pasadena’s SPINASANA blends hot yoga and indoor cycling under one roof

SPINASANA opened its doors at 89 S Fair Oaks Ave. in Pasadena with a ribbon-cutting from the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, giving the city a studio built around a simple but ambitious idea: keep spin and hot yoga under one roof and make the transition between them feel seamless.

That combination is the point. The class menu includes Power Flow, Yoga Sculpt, Yin Yoga and spin sessions, which puts SPINASANA in a different lane from the usual single-discipline yoga room or stand-alone cycle studio. Instead of asking clients to choose one identity, the studio is packaging rhythm, heat and community into one membership, a play that seems aimed at time-crunched exercisers, cross-trainers and cyclists curious about yoga as much as yogis looking for more cardio.

The founding team reflects that crossover. Dani Leon built her reputation in yoga and served as a regional director at a Los Angeles yoga studio, while Diego Gasca spent more than 15 years teaching indoor cycling and adult dance in the Pasadena area. That mix matters for a hybrid concept: Leon brings the yoga floor, Gasca brings the bike room, and together they are betting that one familiar community can support both.

The business model is unapologetically premium. Memberships start at $195 a month for eight classes, an unlimited plan runs $340, a three-class introductory package is priced at $30, and single drop-ins cost $33. The studio says it has roughly 15 instructors, a scale that suggests it is aiming for breadth as well as frequency, with enough teachers to move between faster cycling formats and slower, restorative Yin work.

Pasadena already has evidence that the city can support mind-body programming at scale. The Pasadena Convention Center hosted the 11th Annual Yoga Expo on Jan. 11, 2025, and the Yoga Expo returned there on April 13, 2025 after a postponement tied to wildfire use of the venue as an evacuation center. Against that backdrop, SPINASANA looks less like a novelty and more like a response to a market that has room for yoga, spin and everything in between.

The Pasadena Chamber’s ribbon-cutting fit a familiar local pattern, since the group regularly marks member openings with celebrations. But the new studio’s bigger signal is competitive: in a neighborhood where boutique fitness depends on loyalty, convenience and identity, hybrid formats may have an easier path than another isolated yoga space trying to stand alone.
