1. Yoga Bliss Akron

It’s hard not to find a favorite class at Yoga Bliss. Choose from 60 classes presented by 14 instructors, and mix up your workout with heated and non-heated studios. Instructors offer different Vinyasa style classes, and you can recharge after a hot set at the fresh juice bar. You can even book a studio for a private party for groups of 10 or more.

Choose from unlimited monthly memberships, prepaid packages, or class passes. Discounts are available for students and seniors purchasing a class pass. If you want to teach yoga, you can sign up for Yoga Bliss’s Teacher Training program.

2. Rock Mill Climbing

Rock climbers need yoga too. Fortunately, Rock Mill Climbing has a class that focuses on flexibility, strength, and injury prevention to make you a better climber. Opt for a combo class to add some rock climbing to your workout. If it’s just yoga you want, you can get that here too.

Classes at Rock Mill Climbing range from beginner to advanced and feature Fundamental, Power, and Slow Flow options. You can drop in and pay per class or enjoy a monthly membership.

The workshop runs the second Sunday of each month. When you’re ready to move beyond the basics, try Double-Team Your Yoga. Two instructors help students adjust and refine their workouts, and all levels of Yin and Vinyasa yoga classes are available.
