Now let’s get down to it. With so many class offerings, awesome instructors and relaxing environments – how do you choose the best studio for you? Now, it can be a daunting task and sometimes going to a new studio can be intimidating.  

Luckily, we’ve done all the hard work for you (downward dog and all) and searched all of the yoga studios in and around Shadyside to bring you a list of the 5 best yoga studios.

From class offers, instructor difficulties, and package costs, we’ve got it all covered! As a disclosure, we loved all these studios so much that they are in no special order – all 5 are equally great (in their own ways) in our eyes.

Yoga Love Pittsburgh

Classes are fresh, exciting and designed to meet the need of every student in attendance.

Yoga Love Pittsburgh makes our top 5 list for multiple reasons.

First and foremost, the instructors at this location are always switching it up and keeping the classes fresh. They read the room at the beginning of every class to determine what the needs of each student are.

They also offer a variety of class options. So, if one day you feel like you need to be rejuvenated, there is a yoga heal class for you. But, if you’re trying to push yourself to new limits, try the yoga strong class instead! Whatever you’re looking for, they have you covered.

One of the worst parts about working on in the city is dealing with parking, am I right? The good thing about this studio is if you don’t want to pay for street parking, there is parking in walking distance! You’ll add a few more steps to your workout and save a few dollars, that’s a win-win in our book.

Another bonus is you can try this studio out for 30 days for just $30 dollars -- if that isn’t a deal then we don’t know what is! After the first month, your package prices will range from $65 to $200, with student and monthly discounts available as well.

The Om Lounge

A positive environment for yogis of all expertise levels.

The Om Lounge is a great location if you are looking for a comfortable heat level that radiates positive environments.

This studio offers a variety of special events that you can’t find anywhere else such as: Partner yoga (a romantic Valentine’s Day gift… hint, hint), spa yoga and more!

The Om Lounge also offers the 30 days for $30 deal for new students. Once your practice becomes a weekly event, packages range from $65 to $120. If you plan to visit frequently, you can also join monthly for a discounted rate!

If you’re a yogi that is ready to take your practice to a whole new level, there are training and mentorship programs available. You can complete your 200 hour certification and then spend 3 to 6 months mentoring to perfect your teaching skills.

Sthiel Pilates & Movement Center

So much more than just a yoga studio.

Okay, so this one is not your traditional yoga studio, but that is the reason why it is on our list!

This studio offers awesome yoga classes, but also offers a variety of different classes outside the typical realm of yoga. You can go here to swing, stretch, strengthen and just have fun with it. With aerial, pilates, and so much more – you’ll never get bored with your workout routine here!

This class is hot… seriously, 100 degrees hot.

Alright, if you're looking for hot yoga in Shadyside – this is the place for you.

With some classes reaching temperatures of 100 degrees or more, it is no joke. If you’re looking for a workout to sweat off those extra drinks you had this weekend, make sure to check this one out.
