Rating of the best yoga studios in St. Petersburg in 2024

Yoga is not a religion, yoga is a lifestyle. In the combination of philosophy and body training, a new understanding of the world, oneself in this world and possibilities is born.

Spiritual self-realization goes hand in hand with physical self-realization; a positive attitude takes the place of former worries. Smooth movements and the respiratory system harmonize the work of the whole organism, harmonize a person in the surrounding space. Through concentration of attention and purification of internal energies, the mind is freed from negative programs, self-attitudes.

A modern person is under informational pressure, in financial dependence, in emotional overstrain, so more and more people find a way out in yoga. We'll talk about the best yoga studios in St. Petersburg below.

How to choose the right yoga studio

First level

For beginners, schools offer special trial lessons and programs. A preliminary consultation with a specialist will help you determine the group. Yoga is harmless and the practice is absolutely immune to injury.

The beginner discount system helps you get into the process. At the initial stage, it is convenient to visit a studio located close to work or home, to save time and effort.

Certain practice

There are a number of directions and practices in yoga. If one of them is preferred, then it is worth finding a studio with advanced masters of this technique. The number of classes can be increased to reach a new level.

If the direction is represented by several studios, then you should familiarize yourself with the professional biography of the coaches, their certificates and achievements. Many masters continue their regular training abroad.

Seminars and Challenges

Plunging deeper into the direction of yoga, improvement brings pleasure and thirst for new things. Many studios invite international distinguished gurus for seminars and private lessons.

Multi-day challenges allow you not only to be in a group of like-minded people, but also to make a breakthrough in your own abilities.

The road to the coaching staff

At a certain stage of his own spiritual and physical capabilities, a person feels the need to share knowledge and skills. Not all studios train trainers and conduct examinations. Choosing a school to prepare yourself for a master of teaching requires a serious approach and working out the rating of graduating yoga schools.

Criterias of choice

Yoga, which has centuries-old practices and amazing developments, is diverse in its manifestations in schools and studios. There are budget and popular studios, with different classroom characteristics and instructor levels.

The priority criteria for a yoga studio include:

• the cost of classes and subscriptions;
• the level of the coaching staff;
• the number of positive reviews;
• the number of groups in social networks;
• a number of directions and practices of yoga;
• convenient location;
• no age restrictions;
• groups for beginners;
• good official site;
• mentor popularity and certification;
• individual sessions.

Selection errors

It should be remembered that the level of skill of Indian yogis is being polished throughout their life, it is impossible, having come running after work, with muscles shackled in stress and a head clogged with problems, to be instantly liberated. It is impossible to wrap yourself in a mysterious letter, thanks to the high rating of the yoga studio.

Paying a high price for a lesson during the rebalancing phase of lifting one leg off the floor is simply unwise. Fluency in everything from movement, through breathing and to the increased cost for the mastery of a yoga mentor is a sure way.
