The Best Yoga Studios in Norfolk, VA

A Yelp favorite, The Space Above, located in the historic Ghent district of Norfolk, offers a variety of beginners classes from yoga 101 and vinyasa 101 to mindful multi-level and strengthening graceful flow. The Space Above is the only studio in Norfolk to offer a comprehensive yoga wall therapy system.

Two types of yoga are taught at Hot House: Hot Stability and Hot Flow both of which are structured around a methodology called the Therapeutic Vision, which is based on the anatomy of the body, specifically related to lines of connective tissue. The Therapeutic Vision’s specific emphasis is to strengthen and stretch each one of these lines so that they can properly perform their intended function. The inability of these lines to perform their functions creates imbalances throughout the entire body. Practicing Therapeutic Vision regularly mends these physical imbalances and helps to eliminate stress, anxiety and other toxicities.
