3 Best Yoga Studios in El Paso, TX

Very first yoga experience...green as a freshly mowed lawn! For some context, I’ve been wanting to practice yoga for years, primarily to achieve the goal of touching my toes. Back in the early 2000s, I moved to Europe, and a few years later, I met my best friend who is really into yoga and now lives in New Mexico. He took his first yoga class in El Paso with a guy named Matt at Hot Box. Fast forw2ard to January this year, I had to move from Europe to Chicago, and last weekend, I flew down to hang out with my friend, who brought me to my first-ever yoga class. In class, moments before Matt begins, I find myself neighbored next to a lovely Asian lady who seemed to radiate calm. We exchanged pleasantries, and I admitted, “I’m new and have never done yoga.” Without missing a beat, she sweetly chirped, “This is Pilates with a smile.” I replied, “Never done that one either…” To which she gave me the sweetest look and said, “you’re going to pass out!” not too much longer, just a few poses later, I was this close to meeting my maker! But fear not! My yoga guardian angel reminded me to control my breathing. Later she even said, “This is addictive.” And she was right! Now I’m back in Chicago and have already booked four classes for this week, plus I made the waitlist for a 6 AM class. Thank you all for the AWESOME experience, a big thank you to Matt, and a shoutout to the wonderful lady next to me! And last but not least, the homie - Foster.

I have been attending this wonderful yoga studio for 8 years now, and it has truly become a home away from home for me.This place is not just a studio; it's a sanctuary of serenity, a hub of happiness, and a den of delight. You'll feel like you've found your zen tribe, and you won't want to leave. It's my secret recipe for a happiness boost! In a nutshell, if you're looking for a yoga studio that's equal parts zen and wild, where sweat and smiles go hand in hand, look no further. This place is a one-way ticket to yoga paradise. Highly, like SUPER highly, recommend.

Hotbox has been my go-to hot yoga studio for about a decade. It is hands down the best studio in town. The instructors push you to your limits, creating an environment for growth of practice like no other. I have taken classes at tons of studios across the nation and a common theme seems to be that the "hot" yoga classes are never hot enough... But that has never been the case at hot box! If you want to take the heat intensity down a notch they also offer warm classes that are relaxing and cater to all levels. Do yourself a favor and book your next class here.

Rocket class on Tuesday and Thursday nights with Jesse are SO SO good! His experience is inspiring, his professionalism and dedication to encourage his students is highly appreciated by all who want to move to the next level in our practice. Thank you Jesse! You're a great asset to Shanti! Love Shanti! Friendly staff, great instructors, various levels of yoga classes, beautiful atmosphere. Best place to grow my practice and make new friends.

I recently injured my back and was told I need to work on strengthening my core. Yoga was mentioned so I decided to take it up. I found shanti online and started 2 weeks ago. From the minute I walked in I felt welcomed. The classes are awesome. I went almost every day and not once did I repeat the same class. From Flow to Rocket to Yin Yang. There is a class for everyone. I even enjoyed the heated ones since I also dropped a few pounds. Most likely from sweat. I probably will never master standing on my head but working on my balance and flexibility has really motivated me! Instructors are awesome. Sarah enjoys wine coolers and Jesse enjoys watching you suffer! Great place and great people and the app is very user friendly and makes attending the classes easy. Highly recommend Shanti.

Shanti is a great yoga studio with a variety of classes- heated and non-heated. The owner and instructors have done an amazing job with creating a safe, friendly, and welcoming vibe and community. They truly care about your safety and growth as a yogi. The studio has mirrors and mats, blocks, and support blankets available in case you forget yours. Overall my favorite yoga studio in El Paso.
