Yoga Studios in Regina: 7 Real Places to Roll Out Your Mat (2026)
Regina's yoga scene is bigger than most locals realize. I almost didn't write this guide because I don't do yoga myself — I train Steel Mace and Kettlebells 5 days a week at Steel Mace Valkyrie. But two years in, my shoulders were tight, my hips were cranky, and my coach kept telling me to add mobility work. I started dropping into yoga classes around the city to see what was actually here, and I was surprised: there are at least 7 dedicated yoga studios in Regina, plus a couple of community-recreation options that run real programs. This guide covers all of them with verified addresses, styles, and what each is best for. If you're a strength athlete looking for mobility, a beginner who doesn't know where to start, or someone who's just stressed and wants an hour to breathe — there's a Regina yoga studio for you.
Why Try Yoga in Regina?
Three reasons specific to our city:
- Saskatchewan winters are long. November through March is mostly indoors. Yoga is one of the few fitness activities that gives you a real workout + mental reset without needing a separate gym membership. Most Regina yoga studios run year-round, with hot studios staying warm when it's -30°C outside.
- It's the missing piece for strength athletes. I learned this the hard way. Two years of Steel Mace and Kettlebells 5x/week without dedicated mobility work left me with shoulder impingement and hip tightness that affected my squat depth. Adding 1-2 yoga sessions a week fixed both. Harvard Health notes that yoga improves flexibility, balance, and stress management — all of which support strength training recovery and injury prevention [1]. If you train at any of Regina's strength gyms, yoga complements what you're doing.
- It's accessible. Most studios offer drop-in rates, beginner classes, and modifications for every body. You don't need to be flexible to start. You don't need experience. You just need to show up.
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) notes that yoga's evidence base is strongest for chronic low-back pain, stress reduction, and improved balance [2]. For a strength athlete, the mobility piece is the unlock.

7 Yoga Studios in Regina Worth Your Time
Here's what's actually open in 2026, with verified addresses, what they teach, and what they're best for. I checked each one against the official site or third-party listing in October 2026.
1. Bodhi Tree Yoga — Cathedral (Downtown-adjacent)
- Address: 3104-B 13th Ave, Regina, SK S4T 1P2 (entrance on west side of building)
- Phone: (306) 552-YOGA
- What they teach: Hatha, prenatal, mom-and-baby, therapeutic yoga
- Best for: Beginners, prenatal/postnatal, therapeutic work
- Source: bodhitreeyoga.com · threebestrated.ca #1 ranked
Bodhi Tree sits in the Cathedral neighborhood, just east of downtown, and is the studio that consistently tops the threebestrated.ca Regina yoga rankings. Their thing is therapeutic and small-group classes — if you've got an injury, are pregnant, or are returning to movement after a long break, this is the one.
2. Oxygen Yoga & Fitness — 3 Regina Locations
- North: B1A – 4420 Rochdale Blvd, S4X 4N9 — (306) 522-9642
- South: 3775 Pasqua Street, S4S 6W8 (Lakeview)
- East: FAR Infrared heated studio
- What they teach: Hot yoga (FAR Infrared), fitness classes
- Best for: Hot yoga lovers, multiple neighborhoods
- Source: oxygenyogaandfitness.com
Oxygen has the largest footprint of any yoga chain in Regina. The three locations cover north, south, and east, and they all run FAR Infrared heated classes (a different heat technology than traditional hot yoga — gentler on joints, deeper heat penetration). If you've tried hot yoga elsewhere and felt dehydrated or light-headed, FAR Infrared is worth a try. Their tagline is "FAR Infrared Hot Yoga & Fitness."
3. Pure Living Yoga — Emerald Park (just outside Regina)
- Address: 211-28 Great Plains Rd, Emerald Park, SK S4L 1B8
- Phone: (306) 535-8098
- What they teach: Group classes, yoga teacher training, beginner-friendly
- Best for: Suburb residents, beginner track, teacher training
- Source: purelivingyoga.com
Pure Living is technically in Emerald Park (10 minutes east of Regina on Hwy 1), but it pulls a lot of Regina clients. They have a structured beginner program and a 200-hour teacher training if you ever want to go deeper. The studio is smaller and quieter than the chain options — good for introverts.
4. Quan's Hot Yoga — 2 Locations (Gordon Road + University Park)
- Address: 4830 Gordon Rd (#105) AND 312 University Park Drive, Regina SK S4V 0Y8
- Phone: (306) 585-1515
- What they teach: Hot yoga specialist, HRV oxygenated air system
- Best for: Hot yoga purists, two convenient locations
- Source: quanshotyoga.com
Quan's is the dedicated hot yoga option in Regina — they don't do warm or "slightly heated" classes, they do HOT. Their HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) system brings in fresh oxygenated air continuously, which makes a real difference in longer classes. If you want the true Bikram-style hot yoga experience, this is it.
5. Niche Yoga & Therapy — Downtown (Lorne Street)
- Address: 2216 Lorne St, Regina, SK S4P 2M7
- What they teach: Variety of styles 7 days a week, Thai massage, beginner-friendly
- Best for: Downtown workers, variety-seekers, Thai massage add-on
- Source: nicheregina.com
Niche is in a historic building in downtown's city square — "Regina's oldest residence," per their site. The character of the space makes it feel different from the chain studios. They run a wide variety of class styles 7 days a week and offer Thai massage if you want to add bodywork.
6 & 7. Community & Budget Options
If drop-in rates are still too much, Regina has two community-recreation paths that are 30–50% cheaper than dedicated studios:
- Lakeview Community Association Beginner Hatha Flow — Low-to-medium intensity, designed to strengthen and stretch. Per lcaregina.ca, this is a slower-paced class perfect for absolute beginners or anyone returning after time off.
- City of Regina Drop-in Activities — Visit regina.ca/parks-recreation-culture for current drop-in yoga at city rec centres. Prices in effect January 1 – December 31, 2026.
These aren't as flexible as dedicated studios (set schedules, less variety), but the price point makes yoga accessible if you're budget-conscious or just trying it out for the first time.
Types of Yoga Available in Regina
Most Regina studios teach 4-6 of these styles. Quick guide:
- Vinyasa Flow — Dynamic, movement-based, links breath to movement. Great if you want a workout element. Most studios offer this.
- Hatha — Traditional, slower-paced, focuses on basic poses + alignment. Best for beginners. Most studios have a Hatha option.
- Yin — Slow, deep stretches held for longer periods (3-5 minutes per pose). Targets connective tissue, not muscle. Excellent for stress relief and recovery days.
- Power — Fitness-focused, strength + cardio. Often in heated rooms. The "yoga crossfit" of yoga.
- Restorative — Props-supported, deeply relaxing. The opposite of Power. Good for stress, sleep issues, chronic pain.
- Hot — Heated room (95-105°F). Increases flexibility, promotes sweating. Quan's and Oxygen specialize here.
- Baptiste — A specific sequence combining heat + flow + specific sequencing. Less common in Regina.
The shortcut: if you're new, start with Hatha or gentle Vinyasa at Bodhi Tree or Niche. If you want heat, try Quan's or Oxygen. If you want community-recreation price, Lakeview Community Association. If you want a real intro program, Pure Living.
What to Expect at Your First Regina Yoga Class
Five things every Regina studio will tell you on your first visit:
- Arrive 10-15 minutes early. You'll fill out a waiver, get oriented to the space, and meet the instructor. Showing up late is the #1 way to feel lost in your first class.
- Bring a mat — or rent one. Most studios rent mats for $2-5. If you have one, bring it.
- Wear stretchy clothes you can move in. Avoid loose stuff that flips over your head in downward dog. Avoid super-revealing clothes (you'll be bending).
- Light snack only 1-2 hours before. A full meal + headstand = bad idea.
- Tell the instructor it's your first class. They'll offer modifications, watch your alignment, and probably put you in the back row where you can see everyone else.
Hot studio extras: bring a water bottle + a small towel. Expect 95-105°F. Don't be a hero — sit out a pose if you feel light-headed.
Drop-in rates vs intro offers: Most Regina studios charge $20-30 for a single drop-in class. New student intro offers (unlimited for 1-2 weeks) are common — ask when you book.
A r/regina user summed it up: "I'm fat, not flexible, and have no idea what any pose is. The instructors at [Bodhi Tree] just modified everything for me and didn't make a big deal. I keep going back."
How to Choose the Right Regina Yoga Studio for You
Five filters to narrow it down:
- By neighborhood. North? Oxygen North or Bodhi Tree. South? Oxygen South. East? Pure Living (Emerald Park) or Oxygen East. Downtown? Niche.
- By style. Want hot? Quan's or Oxygen. Want traditional Hatha? Bodhi Tree or Niche. Want variety? Niche (7 days/week of different styles).
- By price. Drop-in rates: $20-30 most studios. Unlimited memberships: $120-180/month. Community rec (Lakeview, City of Regina): $10-15 drop-in.
- By time of day. Most studios run early morning (6-7am), lunch (12-1pm), evening (5-7pm), and some weekend mornings. Niche is the most consistent 7-days/week.
- By vibe. Chain (Oxygen, Quan's) = polished, predictable, hot. Independent (Bodhi Tree, Niche, Pure Living) = character, smaller, often more intimate.

Yoga + Strength Training: A Regina Fitness Combo
This is the section I wish someone had written for me 2 years ago.
I train Steel Mace and Kettlebells 5 days a week at Steel Mace Valkyrie. I avoided yoga because I thought it was "just stretching" — turns out I was missing the most important piece. Here's what 2 years of mobility work has fixed:
- Shoulder impingement from heavy kettlebell presses. Fixed by 2x/week of yoga's shoulder mobility flows.
- Hip tightness that limited my squat depth. Fixed by yin yoga's deep hip openers.
- Stress + sleep. Yoga's breathwork drops my cortisol faster than anything else I've tried.
The research backs up the general claim: Harvard Health notes that yoga improves flexibility, balance, and stress management — all of which support strength training recovery and injury prevention [1]. For a strength athlete, the mobility piece is the unlock.
If you train at any of Regina's strength-focused gyms — Steel Mace Valkyrie, New Gen Fitness, or Brickhouse Gym — yoga isn't a replacement. It's the mobility piece that makes your strength work sustainable.
The combo I'd suggest for any Regina strength athlete: 5x/week strength + 1-2x/week yoga (yin or restorative for recovery, vinyasa for active recovery). Most studios let you drop in once a week for $20-30.

FAQ
Eight questions Regina yoga beginners actually ask:
- How much does yoga cost in Regina?
Drop-in rates at most dedicated studios run $20-30 per class. Unlimited memberships are $120-180/month. Community-recreation options (Lakeview Community Association, City of Regina drop-in) are $10-15 per class. New-student intro offers (unlimited for 1-2 weeks) are common — ask when you book. - Which Regina yoga studios offer beginner classes?
Bodhi Tree Yoga, Niche Yoga & Therapy, and Pure Living Yoga all have structured beginner programs. Most studios also let you drop into any class and tell the instructor it's your first time — they'll offer modifications. - Is hot yoga safe for beginners?
Yes, with caveats. Drink water before class, don't eat 2 hours before, sit out any pose that makes you feel light-headed, and tell the instructor you're new. Quan's Hot Yoga and Oxygen Yoga & Fitness both have beginner-friendly hot classes in Regina. - Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?
Most Regina studios rent mats for $2-5. If you plan to go more than 5-6 times, buy one — a basic mat runs $30-50 at Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, or Amazon. - How often should I do yoga as a beginner?
1-2 times per week is the sweet spot for most beginners. More than that and your muscles don't have time to recover. After 4-6 weeks, you can add a third session if you want. - Can yoga help with weight loss?
Yoga alone is not a great weight-loss tool — it burns 200-400 calories per hour vs. 500-800 for strength training or HIIT. Combined with strength work and nutrition, yoga supports weight loss through stress reduction and improved sleep. See our guide to the best gyms for weight loss in Regina for the strength-training side. - What's the difference between hot yoga and regular yoga?
Hot yoga is practiced in a heated room (typically 95-105°F). The heat increases flexibility, promotes sweating (some claim detoxification, which is mostly marketing), and adds cardio demand. Regular yoga is at room temperature. Both are valid — hot yoga is harder on the cardiovascular system and not for everyone. - Which Regina yoga studios are best for seniors or people with injuries?
Bodhi Tree Yoga specializes in therapeutic yoga (prenatal, postnatal, injury-recovery). Niche Yoga & Therapy offers gentle classes 7 days a week. Pure Living has a structured beginner program suitable for older students. For all three, tell the instructor about your specific situation — they'll offer modifications.
