Reviews
GoogleThis humble studio is jam-packed with authenticity, warmth, and good vibes. I recommend their hot yoga classes. They also have shower and changing facilities, which are great if you're on the move.
Great teachers and a great a spot. I feel I've progressed a lot in my yoga practice since I joined this studio a few months back.
Knowledgeable instructors, authentic and a place to find your stillness. I have tried a number of studios in and around Cape Town but find that many have become fairly commercial and speaks to the exercise rather than authenticity of Yoga. Yo Yoga’s carefully handpicked instructors guide you through a series of poses that helps you find a stillness through some of the most intense routines and leaves you with a sense of calm for the rest of your day:)
Walking into YoYoga feels like coming home. The space has such a warm, welcoming energy, thanks to the genuinely friendly and positive team who greet you with kindness every time. My absolute favorite class is Hot Hatha with Aaron on a Sunday afternoon, it’s the perfect way to restore after a long week and gently re-energize for the one ahead. If you're looking for a yoga studio with heart, community, and great classes, YoYoga is it.
Lovely studio with ever smiling down to earth instructors. Taking up Yoga has not only vastly improved my running abilities but ensured that I stay injury free. Hot Yoga stands tall on its own but I never imagined the advantages when coupled with other activities (PBs in 21km within weeks in my case). The benefits way exceeded my expectations and it is very hard to beat the exercise value for time/money ratio here. A year and ~ 80 hours of Yoga later I am stronger than ever and still learning something every session. If you are 'lost in sport' (or just lost at your desk the whole day) - come here for a few sessions. You might just be amazed at what you can do. Safe parking, towels and mats for rent and a variety of classes to choose from in a positive environment, just do it.
