Yoga is for every "body". Yoga Okoboji strives to have a variety of classes to accommodate all levels.

The wonderful concept at Yoga Okoboji is that you can leave your stress, worries and preconceptions at the door and just have fun whether you are new to yoga or if you have been doing it for years. When you walk into our studio you are beginning all over again. It is a place to just be. Be with your breath, be with your body and be with your spirit. There is no "wrong" or "right" yoga here. We accept you and what you bring each time you walk through the door.

Yoga Okoboji's mission is to be open to and practice various types of yoga. You will be offered insight into the eight-fold path which offers guidelines for a meaningful and purposeful life.
