Whether you’re searching for a heated power flow or a cozy restorative session, the yoga studios around Sarasota have something for every style and schedule. Skip the guesswork—our roundup brings you the best spots to stretch, sweat, and unwind.
Let’s get to it.
Unwind Massage & Wellness
Walking into Unwind Massage & Wellness feels like discovering your ideal yoga and bodywork retreat. It sits in a small suite, so classes max out around 10 to 15 people—no overcrowded mats here. There are no heated rooms, just gentle vibes and enough variety to keep things interesting. You’ll find Hatha Yoga Flow twice a week in the mornings, a slow-and-steady Unwind Yoga session, and a super-restorative Sunday class that’s all about deep stretches. They provide all the props you need, so you don’t have to haul blocks or bolsters around. Your mat is the only thing you bring.
Instructors here know their stuff. Laura runs the restorative sessions, while other teachers guide you through flows and breathing exercises. For social butterflies, Saturday Sunrise Market Yoga happens outside at the farmer’s market on a donation basis. Parking is easy, there’s a simple changing area, and the overall setup is low-pressure and wellness-first. It feels personal enough for regulars but welcoming if you’re just dropping in.
Body Heat Hot Yoga
Body Heat Hot Yoga in Sarasota is the go-to spot when you want a serious sweat session and a side of zen. They offer about 35 classes a week, from traditional Bikram in a 105-degree room to Vinyasa Flow at 90 to 95 degrees. Sessions range from 60 to 90 minutes, so you can pick a quick class or settle in for a longer stretch.
The studio’s flooring is hypoallergenic and cleaner than most gym studios, and you’ll find Manduka mats, YogiToes towels, and other essentials if you forget your kit. You can rent gear for a small fee—about the price of an iced coffee—if you’re not ready to buy your own.
Instructors are top-notch, ranging from longtime Bikram teachers to kinesiology grads and folks who lead their own trainings. Whether you’re new to down dog or you can nail a headstand in your sleep, there’s a class for you. Parking is usually hassle-free, and the boutique setup adds that Sarasota twist.
Bloom Yoga Collective
At Bloom Yoga Collective in Sarasota, the options feel endless. You can sweat it out in a 95-degree Vinyasa class or unwind with a slow, restorative stretch. They offer six distinct class styles, including heated flows and Tone + Flow, which brings in Pilates and light weights so you can sneak in a bit of strength training without booking a separate session. Classes run morning, noon, and night, and there’s even an online library if you want to log on from home.
Inside, the studio strikes a cozy but modern note. You’ll find a water refill station, rental mats if yours is stuck in the car, and free props that stay fresh between classes. Free parking in the shopping center makes dropping in a breeze. Instructors are all Yoga Alliance trained, from seasoned pros to community class favorites. Every now and then they switch things up with live soundtrack upgrades, sound baths, or themed workshops. For beginners, foundational flows and workshops cover the basics, while advanced students can tackle heated sessions or opt into a Bali retreat when the wanderlust hits. No childcare or phone zones—just space to move, breathe, and bloom.
CircuSoul Yoga
CircuSoul Yoga really covers all the bases when it comes to variety. The class lineup ranges from hot Vinyasa flows that have you sweating through a spare shirt to gentle yin sessions that are pure chill. They even have aerial yoga with hammocks included at no extra charge, so there’s no wrestling equipment in the parking lot. Some classes crank up the heat into the 90s, while others stay cool and unheated.
The studio keeps things intimate and laid-back. You’ll find blocks and straps ready to go, free parking at the main location, and a schedule that includes partner venues and occasional rooftop classes at the Westin, complete with juice and smoothie hour afterwards. Teachers, including founder Kerry Tice, are all Yoga Alliance certified and bring energy to workshops and sound healing pop-ups. Drop-in rates start at five bucks, making it easy to test the waters. If you catch the travel bug, retreats pop up as far away as Thailand. CircuSoul balances community, creativity, and a touch of rock-n-roll, all while staying approachable and fun.
Hot Yoga Sarasota
Over at Hot Yoga Sarasota, the studio heats up to a tropical 92 to 105 degrees using Far-Infrared tech that feels straight out of a NASA lab. They run classes every day, so you can pick from the classic Hot 60, Yin Yoga, Yoga Sculpt and more. Most sessions work for beginners, but there are plenty of classes for intermediate yogis too.
They even keep the air fresh with a UV air system, so the only thing you notice is sweat dripping in your eyes. You’ll catch upbeat music in almost every class and a friendly vibe throughout the space. Amy, the founder, has serious hot yoga cred and brings in certified instructors with decades of experience.
It won’t break the bank either. You can drop in for around twenty bucks or grab a multi-class package, and newcomers get special intro rates. There’s a handy mobile app for booking, a small shop stocked with yoga gear, and mats and towels available for purchase if you forget to bring your own.
Bhavana Yoga Studio
Down at Bhavana Yoga Studio, the moment you walk in, you get the feeling that they really know their stuff. They offer everything from Hatha and Mindful Vinyasa to Flow Basics for total beginners. You’ll also find Gentle, Slow Flow, Yin, candlelight sessions, and an aromatherapy class that adds a nice touch. For something different, try Qi Yoga Flow, which mixes in qigong, or Roll + Release for a deep stretch.
Class sizes stay under 14, so you won’t get lost in the crowd. The instructors are anatomy buffs who focus on alignment and even draw from East Asian medicine. If you like a little warmth, some sessions use an infrared heat system… but there’s plenty on the non-heated menu too.
On the practical side, you get private parking, bamboo floors and a full set of props on-site. Fresh towels and blankets come right from their laundry, so you never miss a clean one. Beyond yoga, they host sound baths, crystal bowl rituals and moon gatherings. You’ll also find massage and acupuncture upstairs if you want to keep that zen going. The overall vibe is cozy and boutique, making it easy to feel part of a supportive community.
YogaSix Lakewood Ranch
You’ll feel right at home at YogaSix Lakewood Ranch. It doesn’t do the one-size-fits-all approach—there are six class styles, from Y6 101 beginner basics to full-on Power Flow for those who want to sweat and plank. Sculpt & Flow sneaks in dumbbells and cardio, so it’s not just yoga poses. Even TRX shows up if you’re into suspension training. Some classes are heated, others aren’t, so pick what works for your mood or hair day.
The studio looks modern, with a boutique vibe and standout lighting and music that ups the fancy factor. They provide mats and towels, or you can bring your own—no judgment. Lockers and changing rooms keep your shoes and personal items in order. Classes run early morning to late evening, so you’re covered if you keep an unpredictable schedule.
All teachers are fully certified through YogaSix’s Yoga Alliance approved programs. There’s free parking, plus a trial deal to sample a few classes before you commit. Keep an eye out for themed workshops or fundraisers that pop up now and then.
Crunch Fitness – Sarasota Bee Ridge
At Crunch Fitness – Sarasota Bee Ridge, you get the perks of a big chain gym without feeling like a number. They’re open 24/7, so you can hop on a treadmill at 2 a.m. or sneak into a sunrise Hot Yoga session. The heated Hot Yoga room is legit, but if you want a cooler flow, Chill the Flow Out Yoga brings vinyasa and music without the heat.
Classes run daily with options for beginners, plus more advanced moves if you’re ready to level up. Bring your own mat and blocks or borrow gear on-site, no sweat if you forget something. The locker rooms are spotless, and you can rinse off after class or hit a HydroMassage for a quick treat.
In true Crunch style, the playlist is high-energy and the motto here is “No Judgments.” You can even bring a friend to any class for free, which is a nice bonus. It’s a place to get moving, break a sweat, and maybe share a laugh when you wobble out of a pose.
