Austin’s yoga and fitness community is easily navigable and super visitor-friendly. In fact most hotels in central Austin have a studio nearby – and if you’re downtown, just hop on a BCycle and pedal your way to class as a warm-up! Here are a few visitor-friendly Austin yoga studios to try out during your next visit:

BFREE Yoga

BFREE Yoga is one of the oldest yoga studios in Austin. The locally grown, female-run vinyasa studio seeks to create a space that embraces diversity, culture and fitness in Austin. Head to their Sunday ritual at Antone's and then grab a breakfast sandwich at The Grey Market before you head out of town.

Black Swan Yoga

One of Austin’s most beginner- and visitor-friendly studios, Black Swan Yoga is a donation-based studio with four Austin locations. Whether you’re staying in South Austin, East Austin, North Austin or Downtown, BSY is nearby. Start your day off right and sweat off those all those breakfast tacos by dropping in for a heated, 60-minute music-fueled class. Styles range from beginner and prenatal, to flow (vinyasa-style), power flow and Onnit (merging yoga elements with high intensity strength-based fitness).

Flow Yoga

This friendly local studio is great for visitors, hosting a variety of class styles at each of the three Austin-area locations. Visit the Anderson location if you’re staying near The Domain, or stop by the Westgate studio for a South Austin experience. Bring the kids for fun, family-friendly classes. Whether you prefer hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini, yin or another style, chances are Flow Yoga has a class for you.

Karma Yoga

Just west of downtown, Karma Yoga specializes in classes based on the core concepts of yoga. Take their 60 minute Power Flow, which will strengthen and challenge your practice in a heated space. Looking for something a little different? The 45 minute Hot HIIT Express is a challenging full body workout centered around yoga moves, complete with great music! Visitors can book a single drop-in class or visit on Wednesday nights for donation based classes. After class, grab a bite at Better Half Coffee & Cocktails or shop healthy at the Whole Foods Flagship store, within walking distance. 

Practice Yoga

Head to East Austin for this community-founded donation-based studio. Practice Yoga is an intimate studio with a focus on accessibility, providing a variety of strength and restorative class styles including vinyasa, align, mindfulness and yin. If you're visiting on a Saturday, don't miss events at the studio covering everything from yoga massage and yoga nidra to dance and arm balance workshops.

Sukha Yoga

Family-owned Sukha Yoga specializes in heart centered practices, made to enhance your life. Try classes like breathwork & meditation or restorative yin practices. First timers get seven days of yoga for $30, so plan your trip to participate in a class each day.

Wild Heart Yoga

Practice alongside locals in West Austin at the intimate and calming Wild Heart Yoga. This stunning space offers heated indoor classes and a covered deck for practitioners to enjoy. Build a foundation for your practice at a beginner-friendly Foundation class, start your day with a 30 minute Vin/Yin session, balance Pilates with yoga at a Yoga Sculpt class or build the heat in an all-levels vinyasa class.

YTX Yoga

Formerly known as Wanderlust Yoga Austin, drop into the trendy YTX studio (with two Austin locations) for heated and unheated vinyasa classes, workshops, rooftop yoga and other events. Then round out your practice with something sweet (and healthy) from Blenders and Bowls or a little retail therapy at the in-studio shop.
