People flock to Park City for the nearly endless adventures in the surrounding mountains. But when you need a break from the slopes — or just want to start your day in a relaxing way — Park City’s yoga studios offer a wonderful way to restore your energy, center your mind, and strengthen your body.  

Yoga provides the perfect complement to outdoor activities, like skiing, biking, and hiking, says Tiffany Harrison, certified fitness instructor, and owner of Backcountry Yogis. “A regular practice can prepare and protect the body,” she says. “Yoga helps create a body-to-breath connection, improve cardio endurance, and work muscles used while carving turns or riding bumps in the powder.”

Plus, yoga does more than simply strengthen and stretch your muscles — your mood and mental health will also benefit. Research shows that yoga provides a science-backed, practical way to manage stress and anxiety. In fact, one study found that just a single class can lower tension, depression, and fatigue. Yoga has also been shown to improve your immune system, reduce inflammation, help you sleep better, and even strengthen your bones.

While each class differs depending on the instructor, most yoga practiced in the United States is a form of hatha yoga. This style of yoga includes physical poses called asanas, controlled breathing that aligns with the poses, and a final relaxation period at the end of class, known as savasana. 

Whether you do yoga occasionally, have a regular practice, or have never tried it before, there’s a yoga studio in Park City that’s right for you. Ranging from heated power yoga classes to gentle and restorative yin yoga, you’ll find the type of yoga your body and mind are craving in the list below.
