It’s Saturday morning. You hit your snooze button a minimum of a pair times before easing your way off the bed and sipping your morning bevvie. As you grab your yoga mat, water bottle, and natural sunscreen, you drop a fast “On my way!” within the group chat together with your besties and head out the door. It’s finally summer. And meaning rooftop yoga.
Because the practice of yoga evolves in response to the contemporary world, so do the places we discover ourselves experiencing it. The standard studio setting continues to carry its charms, although taking your practice to (literally) latest heights with an unexpected location can bring something electrifying to the experience.
And who knows? The urban escape might encourage you to have interaction in just a little more socializing than usual after class, fostering community and connection. Whether you’re an area or passing through town, consider the next rooftop yoga classes and hunt down additional options in your city.
8 Rooftop Yoga Classes Across the Country
1. Studio Three Summer Rooftop Sessions, Austin, TX
Immerse yourself within the famous “weird” Austin vibes with Studio Three Summer Rooftop Sessions. Situated on the serene patio of the fourth-floor pool deck of the Thompson Hotel, the complimentary classes offer breathtaking city skyline views together with a centering and rejuvenating yoga experience.
Mondays and Wednesdays, 7 a.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. Through August 30.
2. Delve Rooftop Yoga at Coco Cabana, Oceanside, CA
Breathe within the ocean air during rooftop yoga at The Brick Hotel in Oceanside, California. The Sunday morning vinyasa flow is chill and playful while the Tuesday “Taco ‘Bout Twists” classes are all about difficult yourself (and indulging within the taco menu afterward on the Coco Cabana rooftop bar). Beginners in addition to those “with a ‘beginner’s mind’” are welcome.
Sunday Funday Flow, 9 am, and Tuesday Taco ‘Bout Twists, 9:30 am. Through July 30
3. Sunset Yoga with Brooklyn Grange, Brooklyn, NY
Escape the concrete jungle and unwind because the Sun slips behind the Manhattan skyline at Brooklyn Navy Yard. The 1.5-acre urban farm was the brainchild of Brooklyn Grange, a Recent York-based green roofing business, and features a rooftop space overlooking the East River where evening yoga classes (and the occasional wedding reception) happen. Expect each movement and meditation.
Tuesdays, 6:30 pm. Through October 10.
4. La Vita Yoga at The Durham, Durham, NC
Embrace a “health at every size” experience featuring accessible movement and inclusivity from the tip-top of a classy, mid-century modern hotel. The open-air rooftop at The Durham affords you unencumbered views of its namesake city during rejuvenating all-level asana classes led by teachers from La Vita Yoga.
Saturdays, 9 a.m.; Sundays, 10 am. Ongoing.
5. Espadín Rooftop Wellness Events, Denver, CO
Explore what resonates with you—whether chakra meditations or sound baths, stretching or candlelight vinyasa—with the robust schedule of summer yoga classes at The Espadín LoHi in Denver. The series includes ample sunset options so you may partake without sacrificing crucial shut-eye. Yoga stays on the forefront of every class experience in support of a calmer, healthier, and happier Denver.
Days vary. Through August 31.
6. 360 Sky Yoga, Chicago, IL
Practice 1,000 feet closer to the sun at 360 Chicago. Cleverly dubbed “America’s Highest Yoga Class,” this weekly vinyasa class gives you unbeatable 94th-floor views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago bay. It’s an enclosed rooftop. But there’s a reason it’s called the “windy city.” We imagine the sprawling views still make this class value noting (and well worth the trek as much as the highest.)
Saturdays, 7:45 am. Ongoing.
7. Sunday Salutations, Tucson, AZ
Absorb the views of Tucson’s sprawling cityscape in addition to surrounding mountains with Sunday Salutations on the Graduate Hotel. Perched above the University of Arizona’s campus, the desert retreat brings you an intense vinyasa-stye class at a rooftop sanctuary. After your practice, you’re welcome to linger for a dip within the rooftop pool.
First Sunday of the month, 8:30 am. Ongoing.
8. Denver Yoga Social Sunset Skyline Yoga, Denver, CO
Groove to the beat of live DJs and absorb the backdrop of the Denver skyline and the Rocky Mountains on the Denver Yoga Social classes. The all-level vinyasa-style classes happen from the tented rooftop of the Cat Bird Hotel within the charming River North Arts District. There’s dancing afterward. Yoga, music, and community await you.
Wednesdays, 5:30 pm. Ongoing.
