No. 2 Inner Bliss Yoga Studio

19537 Lake Road, Rocky River, 440-331-3940; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I arrived at my first ever yoga class the day Inner Bliss opened the Westlake studio, in August 2012. I came to the mat seeking a physical challenge, a new kind of workout. But what I found was a sacred place: the smiling faces, soulful music, heart-opening smells, warm hugs, sacred words, life lessons, deep breaths, new friends, and of course: the yoga itself.” – Tiffany B.

No. 3 The Studio Cleveland

1395 W 10th St., Suite 120, Cleveland, 216-621-7085; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “As a newcomer to yoga I really dig this place. I’ve taken their Vinyasa all levels class 4 times and it was an amazing experience. I felt right at home and no worries amongst much more experienced people. Yoga is all about focusing on you during class so trust me if anyone is looking around it’s to see what pose to be in. The instructor Jen is great. The best part is how amazing I feel after a class physically and mentally.” – Jennifer D.

No. 4 Yoga Strong

1104 Prospect Ave. E, Cleveland, 216-600-5566; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Wow!!!! The aerial yoga class was great! I trained with Jen, she worked along with us so we could use her as an example to correct our form. The class is lots legs, core and some shoulders. A lot of these moves as a guy we just don’t train so you get us in a 45-minute class that’s hitting the butt and wow. I’m feeling it. I think this class is a good add on to what I’m doing, a great way to change it up and meet a new group of people. – Juno S.

15602 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, 216-221-6265; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Puma is a great place to connect with others in your yoga practice. Puma is located on busy Detroit Ave.--and the studio is entirely encased in glass windows… I also like that Puma’s classes appear to be fairly diverse. I have had classes with all kinds of people, which is not something I experience often at yoga studios. There are also people of all levels practicing in most classes, and they offer a lot of beginners classes.” – Amy D.

No. 7 Yoga Roots

The classes are both challenging and meditative, and I always leave feeling better than I did walking in.” – Abhilasha B.

No. 9 Yoga 101

105 Front St., #206, Berea, 216-702-9642; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp Review: “I’m on the road as a professional musician 6-8 months out of the year. Yoga has saved my life and body from the physical and mental stressors of work, and I’m extremely picky and careful about where I practice when I go to a studio. While I will not rate my favorite studios at home, I decided to give reviews to the best of those that I’ve visited while on the road. ....starting with Laura Burt and Yoga 101. Pretty much hands down one of the most gifted Ashtanga teachers in the country, she epitomizes the best of the newer teachers in that style who knows technique yet has an eye for safety and modifications. Her hands-on assists are safe, spot-on, and right in the moment and her attitude in class is always friendly and helpful, not imperious. As a teacher myself I know when I’m in the presence of someone terrific." – Dean W.

No. 10 Chagrin Yoga

524 E. Washington St., Chagrin Falls, 440-247-4884; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Hands Down, Chagrin Yoga is my Happy Place! I have tried a couple different classes and it really just depends what type of yoga you enjoy. My personal favorite is Yin: Relax and Restore at the end of the day! My children have gone to a couple of the Kids Yoga Sessions offered on Saturday and have really enjoyed themselves!” - Michelle B.

No. 11 One Love Yoga Boutique

145 River St., Suite 5, Kent, 330-842-7228; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “The studio has all kinds of different yoga classes that include different levels of difficulty. I’m a casual yoga enthusiast, so I usually take the beginners classes, but don’t feel as if they’re too difficult or too easy. My favorite class I’ve taken here was a body art yoga class. Everyone painted themselves with glow in the dark paint, and we did yoga in a dark room with really fun music. I love how creative the studio is!” – Megan H.

No. 12 Pink Lotus Yoga

18103 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, 216-632-0816; Yelp rating: 5 stars

No. 13 Atma Center

2319 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, 216-371-9760; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “The focus is on actual yoga with a mind body emphasis ... Love the different levels of crisis and the instruction approach is not judgmental. Not for the work-out-aholics who need a Bikram style to feel good.” - Matt K.

No. 14 Namaste Yoga Studio and Shoppe

There is no intimidation factor here - you’re encouraged to find your personal yoga expression.” - Crystal C.

No. 16 Bikram Yoga

4850 SOM Center Road, Moreland Hills, 858-603-3330; Yelp rating: 3.5 stars

No. 17 Lifesource Yoga & Bodyworks

55 Shiawassee Ave., Suite 4, Akron, 330-835-9945; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I wanted to wait to write my review after having taken a month’s worth of classes. I am happy to say that my opinions of the studio have only improved because my experiences this past month solidified the positive first impression I had on the day I walked in after seeing a sign posted outside.” - Soly Z.

No. 18 Root Healing & Therapy

20545 Center Ridge Road, Suite 212, Rocky River, 216-905-7801; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Root is the best! Great massage by Holly. I will absolutely be returning. I found them on Groupon and I am going to purchase a package deal from them.

Sample Yelp review: “I have been taking classes at 3 sisters for about 3 years. I really love the variations of classes that are offered. Want to be challenged? Hot Power. Need a slower pace, Slow Flow. Just want a lovey stretch and reset? Restorative! Whatever mood or need, 3 Sisters has you covered. The instructors are lovely, warm and welcoming, offering hands on assists and adjustments. Each instructor really sets the mood of the class with a playlist that is perfection. 3 Sisters is wonderful, when you’re here, you truly are a sister!” - Christina C.

No. 21 LuLu Tru Holistic Beauty & Wellness

14577 E. Park St., Burton, 440-834-0887; Yelp rating: 4 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I love this place! The staff is extremely nice and they always remember who you are. The yoga classes are a good price and very relaxing with a great instructor. Everything about this place is just very welcoming, it’s not like any salon I’ve ever been to before. I had a pedicure done four weeks ago and I still get compliments on it. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone.” - Ash D.

No. 22 Blue Moon Yoga Studio

14532 Pearl Road, Suite 102, Strongsville, 440-334-4292; Yelp rating: 5 stars

No. 23 EssentialZen Yoga Studio

330 E. Garfield Road, Aurora, 330-995-5000; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “It is right in the sweet spot of difficulty I was looking for until I get some more experience under my belt. It is as challenging as you make it as she offers variations on the poses if you are having any difficulty... I would not hesitate to recommend it to a beginner. I have also taken the renew and restore yoga with Jenny and it is even more gentile, focusing on stretching and meditation. This class would be great for a beginner or someone who struggles in a regular yoga class.” - Rob F

No. 24 Hope Yoga

21571 Lorain Road, Fairview Park, 440-665-0507; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “This place was great. They have classes at all levels and abilities. The instructor I had took her time to explain and help me with movements and form. The building is new and beautiful inside, very comfortable and soothing and smelled amazing. There is parking outside and 2 restrooms in the facility. They offer all supplies for you to use during class, and also sell some items and products. I will recommend Hope Yoga Studio to my friends.” - Marcy F.

No. 25 Half Moon Yoga

253 S Court St., Suite B, Medina, 330-242-0219; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Highly recommend this yoga studio! I have tried a dozen in northeast Ohio and this studio offers the best classes. The teachers seem the most knowledgeable and willing to tailor classes to their students. Highly recommend!” - Phil B.

No. 26 Yoga Trends

26965 Center Ridge Road, Westlake, 440-537-8429; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “The studio is in a doctor’s office because the class instructor, Dr. Barry, is also a chiropractor. He and his wife actually invented this particular Pilates method; she studied under a yogi in India and is also an instructor. My classmates and I spent an hour pushing, pulling, bending and flexing our way through a set of challenging (but not ridiculously hard) moves. Dr. Barry thoroughly explained every position, went through the motions with us and gently corrected us as needed along the way. With such a small class (they are specifically kept under 10 people, I think), the instructor was able to give each participant some personal attention. I definitely “felt the burn” the next day, so I know it’s working.” - Megan H.

No. 27 Lotus Yoga & Health Spa

684 Avon Belden Road, Avon Lake, 440-225-4330; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I had a great yoga session with Gina a few evenings ago, the room is very comfortable to practice in. I love the decor, ambiance and convenience of the location!! It’s a must ladies and gents!” -- Candace V.

No. 28 Citizen Yoga Studio

211 Park Ave., Suite 117, Orange Village, 216-415-6050; Yelp rating: 4.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I started attending Citizen Yoga for a couple of their free classes on the lawn at Pinecrest this past summer. The instructors I encountered during those first few classes were very nice and helpful in enhancing your practice. I have attended a couple of their classes so far and I have to say, the atmosphere of Citizen Yoga is much different than other classes I have attended before. Whether you are a beginner and have never touched a yoga mat before OR if you have been practicing for years, there are a variety of classes in which will fit your needs.” - Eileen O.

No. 29 Bhumi’s Yoga & Teacher Trainings

19322 E. River Road, Columbia Station, 440-236-6366; Yelp rating: 4 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Taking Bhumi’s 200 hour Teacher Training program led to a deeply profound and personally transformational change in my life. Bhumi incorporates the best of classical yoga teachings to provide a well-rounded approach to the discipline of yoga. You aren’t simply “learning how to cue poses,” you are learning how to *live* and teach about a balanced way of living. Anybody can learn yoga, and Bhumi encourages that diversity. Whether you are 20 or 90, limber or with physical challenges, you can learn yoga with Bhumi.” -- Shirley M.

No. 30 One Love Yoga Silk Mill

145 River St., Suite 5, Kent, 330-842-7228; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Kent Yoga has now been joined up with One Love Yoga, and offers improved services like online scheduling and more frequent workshops. Classes at the Silk Mill location are still alive and well, and some of One Love’s teachers now offer classes there. Kent is lucky to have these yoga options, and I hope that they both continue to thrive!” -- Abigail S.

No. 31 Village Yogaworks

27209 Wolf Road, Bay Village, 440-438-3400; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Susan Novak was my instructor for class and it was so relaxing and she gives great guidance on poses throughout class. This is definitely a beautiful and clean studio very relaxing and inviting atmosphere and decor. Definitely check out this new yoga studio you’ll love it.” -- Sherine N.

No. 32 Anytime Nirvana Yoga

5878 Mayfield Road, Mayfield Heights, 440-941-1442; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I’ve never ever considered myself a yogi nor a yoga lover, but after trying out a few classes at this studio I think of yoga in a completely different way! I’ve been to several classes at several other studios and no yoga instructor has impressed me as much as the ones here.” -- Steph J.

No. 33 River Yoga

2212 Wooster Road, Rocky River, 440-941-7107; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I have attended other yoga classes where a studio claimed inclusivity or able to offer modifications, then left me hanging to the point of feeling unsafe or just lacked the knowledge/training to work with people with physical limitations. Not here! Monique went out of her way to check on me and make sure I was safe. Laura was always quick to offer modifications into her instructions to the entire class without isolating me (or anyone for that matter who may have needed it).” - Lauren K.

No. 34 JAND Yoga Studio

86 Owen Brown St., Hudson, 330-808-2614; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “So if you are a true yogi you will find this place very desirable in its prime location. This studio represents traditional yoga for the insight of yoga, true yoga that doesn’t involve just going to a gym... So take a spin they are new but so old in tradition you will fit right in, very comforting!! Great summer prices too.” -- Margot O.

No. 35 YogaFlow Studio

5320 Hoag Dr., Sheffield, 440-724-2726; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “As my first real yoga class (aside from what yoga-ish moves Jillian Michaels throws in her workout vids), my experience at YogaFlow Studio was fabulous... Our yoga instructor, Erica (and owner of the biz), was friendly, welcoming, and helpful the entire class. We were led through a series of moves all leading up to being able to put together a sun salutation A. With Vinyasa each move “flows” through to the next and builds off of some basic poses. Per the YogaFlow website, Vinyasa yoga is a strong, athletic style of yoga that links movement to your breath. The focus on breathing was more relaxing than I had anticipated. I left class feeling both energized and calm. It was wonderful. The beginner’s workshop lasted the full two hours but it felt like no time at all. Very much looking forward to my next class.” -- Raven Anne S.

No. 36 Reed Yoga

1127 Euclid, Cleveland, 216-534-7908; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Lunch time yoga perfect for anyone working downtown. Prices are affordable for a super convenient option! Michelle is an amazing instructor who makes all levels feel comfortable. Very welcoming environment. Facility to change and a sauna for post yoga.” -- Kristen G.

No. 37 Dominique Moceanu Gymnastics Center

734 N Progress Dr., Medina, 330-952-2767; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “My son (18 months) has so much fun in the toddler class Tiny Tykes! He loves to climb, bounce, & roll. He is very assertive & stubborn.. so I was nervous he was too young for a class, but this structured class is teaching him listening skills and how to follow instructions (there is an obstacle course each class). His coordination and balance is also improving. We got lucky with a small class size, so he gets a lot of attention! Dominique comes over to encourage the toddlers as well, which is so sweet. She runs a great gym & we have had nothing but great experiences there! Highly recommend. :)” -- Rachel T.

No. 38 Old Church on the Green

1 E. Main St., Hudson, 330-656-0100; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Attend one advanced yoga class with Larry on a Wednesday night. I promise it will change your life.” -- Kate F.

No. 39 Branches of Wellness

70 S Park Place, Painesville, 440-639-8181; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Erin and staff have a beautiful new location for their yoga studio. There’s a lot more room to move around in this studio as opposed to the old location. Glad to see them evolving. Not much else has changed. Pricing remains the same to my knowledge. Classes are a bit larger now, which is fine. You still get the same great sense of community and support in your yoga practice. They also offer many other work shops, Reiki training, etc. And they still have incense, crystals, etc for purchase. Good on them! I enjoy being a part of the BOW family.” -- Krista B.

No. 40 The Yoga Space

33 E Bridge St., Berea, 440-364-7602; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “We attended a flow class as a drop in. Instructor was excellent - loved that she read intentions that went with the poses during class. Small studio but did not feel crowded. Wish I lived closer as I would love to attend practice here.” - Amy S.

No. 41 Bodhi Yoga Cleveland

19692 W. 130th St., Strongsville, 440-268-8600; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Bodhi Yoga is a hidden gem located in Strongsville. Bring a towel, because the infrared heat will have you sweating in no time. The smaller size of the studio gives it an exclusive feel and allows for personalized attention from the teachers. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a yoga studio to practice.” -- Marco S.

No. 42 Firehouse Yoga

1422 Hopkins Ave., F2 Studio, Lakewood, 216-243-1291; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “What an amazing gem right here in Lakewood! This yoga studio is located in the upper lever of a historic firehouse. Part of their goal is to keep the firehouse as a neighborhood treasure. They had plenty of mats, bands, blankets, pillows, blocks - basically anything you could possibly need for yoga. The hardwood floor also added such a cozy, homey element that I loved.” -- MacKenzie D.

No. 43 Centerpeace Yoga and Wellness

1951 State Route 59, Suite D, Kent, 330-346-0393; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Don’t be intimidated that you’ll only see lithe, little 20-somethings here. The age range of the people attending classes that night were as young as 30 to upper 70s. The practice is calming and quiet. Sherry plays soothing music, guides you through the stretches, and the lights are dimmed to allow each person to let the stress roll off your body. You won’t break a sweat in this class but you’ll feel more flexible and rejuvenated when you leave the room. Every muscle was singing when I left and I slept like a baby that night.” -- Jamie R.

No. 44 Moksha Yoga & Meditation

264 W Main St., Ravenna, 234=755-3842; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Best yoga studio around. The main room is giant and there’s room for everyone! Many classes at different times are offered to fit your schedule. My favorite class is the gentle yoga with Lauren. She engages muscles you never thought you had, and stretches your body like you just got a massage. Can’t wait to challenge myself with different classes!” -- Amanda O.

No. 45 River’s Edge

3430 Rocky River Dr., Cleveland, 216-688-1111; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “River’s Edge is a wellness center located on the St. Joseph’s campus in Kamm’s Corner, situated right on the Rocky River Metropark. Its so hard to describe them briefly because they are truly so multi-faceted. They offer massage, counseling, neurofeedback, energy work, spiritual direction, yoga, tai chi, adaptive chair yoga, meditation and likely more. In my opinion, this is a true hidden gem. While they are on a campus with a school and congregation, River’s Edge does not shove anything religious down your throat. They are about pure spiritual wellness.” -- Lauren K.

No. 46 Sunshine Yoga

8389 Mayfield Road., Suite A3, Chesterland, 440-688-4196; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “When you have a bad back, you get used to being constantly disappointed by yoga instructors who lack the knowledge or safety to properly assist you, even if they claim they can. But Leigh may honestly be the smartest yoga instructor in Cleveland. Her impressive knowledge of anatomy, coupled with her kindness and yoga talents, make her an incredible teacher. She really knows what she’s doing, and a lot of her teachings are informed by personal injuries, which she is honest about it (and this is so refreshing).” -- Lauren K.

No. 47 Sanctuary on the Chagrin Yoga Studio

1540 Chagrin River Road, Gates Mills, 440-488-2780; Yelp rating: 5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “I recently attended classes at Sanctuary and I must say it was one of the nicest studios I have been to. Its location in downtown Gates Mills in the old livery house makes it the perfect setting for calming and relaxing. The view out every window of the bridge and the Chagrin River is just gorgeous. The owner, Michelle, taught two of my classes and she is professional and gently helpful when you are not an ace yogi. Gentle yoga with Amy is very relaxing. I believe you will enjoy any class you take here regardless if you are a beginner or have practiced for years. You won’t be disappointed.” -- Lori M.

No. 48 Solaluna Center for Yoga & Movement

40-1/2 S. Main St., Oberlin, 440-774-9642; Yelp rating: 3.5 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Solaluna is a superb yoga studio. Great open room with hardwood. Fabulous teachers, a plethora of options where class times and styles are concerned, classes for every level--just great!” -- Caitlin C.

No. 49 Circle of Life Yoga

26914 Cook Road, Olmsted Falls, 440-503-4592; Yelp rating: 4 stars

Sample Yelp review: “Nice teacher and great environment. Hope to have more detail instruction in the class.” -- Emma S.
