The Best Yoga Studios In Kingston Jamaica

Regular yoga practice improves physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Making time for deliberate practice is one of the most life-enhancing habits a person can develop. Yoga can bring balance to city life by countering the noise, the dirt, the stress with tranquillity and inner-calm. Deeper self-reflection helps bring kindness and compassion to the surface, making the world a better place for everyone. For such a small city, Kingston has a good choice of yoga studios catering to all abilities and styles. Whether you prefer to take your class outdoors in the fresh Caribbean air or in an air-conditioned studio, Kingston has something for you.

Skyline Yoga

Where better to take a yoga class than on a rooftop balcony surrounded by lush mountain greenery, with breathtaking views over Kingston? The setting is uplifting; gazing across the city somehow makes it easier to mentally take a step back and get into the zone. This is truly a place for mind, body and spirit to be free. Traditional yoga techniques are blended with the roots vibe of Rastafarianism for a real Jamaican yoga experience. Every Thursday evening, under the Caribbean stars it runs Kemetic/ Vinyasa fusion classes. Skyline Yoga also offers prenatal yoga and instruction for children.
