Styles and what they feel like
Most of the classes in Philadelphia are power yoga, a dynamic and movement-heavy style that moves quickly from pose to pose. Hot yoga is also common, with heated rooms that many people find intense. Pilates appears in about a fifth of the classes, and it focuses on core strength and controlled, precise movement.
At Yoga Habit in Spring Garden, Power Breath is a heated, signature power yoga flow set to the sound of the breath, with a rest at the end of class. Yoga Sculpt there blends the flow of yoga with the strength of Pilates over 45 minutes, with an upbeat soundtrack.
When classes run
Classes start early and run through the evening, with most beginning in the morning. Many begin before 9am, and common start times include 6am, 7:30am, noon, 4:30pm and 6pm. Monday, Wednesday and Friday tend to have the most classes. Midday and weekend classes also make up a good share of the schedule.
Most classes run about an hour. Some shorter classes run about 45 minutes, which can fit well around a busy day.
Studios, facilitators and getting started
Yoga Habit in Spring Garden is the studio with the most classes on this page, and a handful of studios in total offer classes here. Across the classes, a couple of dozen facilitators lead, including Josie Rosa Gatlin, Britt Benito, Cameron Dillon and Taylor Williams. Each facilitator brings a different pace and way of cueing, so it can help to try a few.
Nearly all classes are offered in English, and most do not require a pass. Check each studio's booking page for the latest details on levels and first-visit options before you go.
