Yoga Hive PGH
5491 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206
The Yoga Hive was founded back in 2009 when founder Kimberly wasn’t able to find the authentic Pittsburgh community she was looking for at other yoga studios. She founded her own studio in hopes that it would draw together people who were similarly looking for a space of collaboration and support, and sure enough, it did! Today, nearly 15 years later, The Yoga Hive still believes in tradition, method, and lineage; however, they also believe in letting their experienced instructors teach what they love! As a member of The Yoga Hive community, you’ll never experience two classes that are exactly alike.
Yoga Hive classes are designed to “take you on the journey of ‘doing yoga’ to ‘being yoga.’” Each of their classes is considered All Levels, meaning you are welcome to practice regardless of your experience. Their classes are offered in warm rooms for increased relaxation and flexibility, allowing you to be present and focus on connecting your mind, body, and breath.
