Looking for ways to transform you mind, body and spirit? Everyone is talking about the power of breathwork. 

Yoga is the art of stretching, breathing and connecting the physical form with the spiritual form. Practices of the ancient exercise date back thousands of years. 

The Mother City boasts numerous world-class yoga studios and if you’re a newbie looking to join the world of yogis or an established yoga guru looking for a new place to unroll your mat, we’re certain our list of Cape Town’s top yoga studios will have something to offer you. Happy stretching and Namaste!

YOGA WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW YOU WANT IT
The beauty of yoga is that you can do it almost anywhere, with minimal equipment: the beach, your backyard, or even a quiet space in your office. The Om Revolution offers a regular schedule of affordable group yoga classes in beautiful outdoor locations with qualified instructors. You can also take the practice to your workplace as a convenient and effective way to relieve stress and tension. You can also customise private yoga classes and experiences. Classes start at R50 with The Om Revolution for their weekly yoga schedule.

HOLDING SPACE CAPE TOWN
Holding Space is a new yoga studio with a difference in Woodstock. Situated just outside the city bowl on Victoria Road.

Holding Space is what yoga instructor, Kafui Awoonor, calls “the first black-owned and run yoga studio in Cape Town”. And that’s important to her, because, as some might know, Kafui was very vocal recently around making yoga more outwardly open and inviting to all Capetonians.

Different types of yoga and wellbeing practices are available. From vinyasa, hatha and kundalini to movement therapy.

You can also look forward to sound journey experiences, womens’ circles and monthly new moon or full moon gatherings. Read more about Holding Space Cape Town. 

(They're very well priced however still ask them if they have specials for CapeTownMagazine.com readers at present).

UNRAVELED YOGA
This inner city yoga getaway is edgy, young, fun and unique. Located on the ever popular Bree Street, this yoga studio is a little different when it comes to the traditional interior design you’d expect from a yoga studio. The walls are covered in stunning graffiti murals done by Cape Town’s own Falko One. It is fully equipped with all the bells and whistles and you can bring your own mat and towel or rent theirs for just R40. They offer classes that range from absolute beginner to seasoned professional. They specialise in vinyasa with an unraveled twist, which means they teach vinyasa flow accompanied by sweet beats.

REUNION YOGA AND MEDITATION
The ReUnion Yoga and Meditation studio is open to everyone. They offer a wide range of yoga asana classes and meditation. It is here where you can reconnect, refocus and replenish your reserves under the guidance of experienced yoga teachers. This is also the only studio that teaches moon sequence as well as beginner classes which focus on synergy and meditation. The yoga classes are kept deliberately small to ensure a low teacher-to-student ratio, which in turn gives you a high-quality class and the best possible practice.

AFRICAN SOUL SURFER BACKPACKERS
With the double-storey lodging literally on the beach, it comes as no surprise that African Soul Surfer boasts Cape Town’s only sea-facing yoga studio.

The backpackers hosts yoga classes seven days a week and drop-in classed range from R80p/p - R100p/p, and R600p/p - R750p/p for a 10-class card. Of course, if you want to contrast the calming effects of yoga with an adrenaline rush, the vibrant hostel integrates surf culture into its look and also offers surf lessons and as well as board and wetsuit hire.
