The Minneapolis yoga community is a hot spot for relaxation, better mind-body-spirit awareness and unity in both purpose and endeavor.
Minneapolis Yoga Studios
Bikram Yoga
There are two Bikram yoga centers in the Twin Cities, each following the traditional Bikram method of 26 postures in a structure sequence performed in a highly heated room of 90 degrees or more. Both studios offer a variety of morning and evening classes.

Corepower Yoga
Fans of Hot yoga and Power yoga will gravitate toward Corepower Yoga.
