The Best Yoga Studios in Cusco
What better place to practice yoga or join a retreat than in Cusco, the holy city of the Incas that was once considered the center of the universe? There are yoga studios all over the city and within the Sacred Valley that not only include yoga, but also reiki, massage, and other holistic therapies. Cusco has gained a reputation as the spiritual center of Peru and offers classes for every type of yoga practitioner. Here is a guide to the best yoga studios the city has to offer.
Healing House
Yoga Studio
This yoga studio stands above the rest in Cusco. It’s located in the Healing House, just off the main street in San Blas. The cozy yoga room is equipped with bolsters, blocks, blankets, and plenty of yoga mats to choose from. All yoga instructors are well trained and professional and there are classes going on almost all day. In addition to yoga, the Healing House also offers reiki, sound healing, mediation, and yoga training. With a warm and friendly staff, it’s hard to beat this yoga studio.
