Best Yoga Studios in Stockholm

Updated: 17 January 2017

Swedes love yoga as much as the rest of the world and Stockholm is absolutely crawling with top-notch yoga studios that offer one-off classes and expert teachers. Most Swedes speak English so it’s not a problem if you don’t speak Swedish – and there are quite a few classes that use English as the language of instruction. Get ready to stretch, hold a pose, and find your inner well-being!

Yogayama

One of Stockholm’s most popular yoga studios, Yogayama, is located in Stockholm’s posh Östermalm district but that doesn’t mean it only caters to the city’s elite. The studio, which opened in 2004, offers a number of different yoga disciplines and prides itself on its sense of community. There’s also an excellent restaurant on the second floor serving organic or locally sourced food, as well as regular evening events.

Urban OM

Styled on New York yoga studios, Urban OM classes are mostly held in English and are known for their playful, relaxed nature. Don’t be fooled, though – the instructors are serious about what they do and classes run the gamut from basic or Kundalini yoga to therapeutic yoga and meditation.

AcroYoga

The teachers might be Swedish but they all did their training in English so language is not a problem at AcroYoga – in fact, roughly 50% of classes are offered in English. There are Friday drop-in classes, as well as everything from weekend getaway courses and workshops to Thai massage and acrobatics.
