Holidu , the vacation rental search engine, has used Google data on studios and their average rating to create a ranking of the best cities to practice yoga. Zen cities in which pampering yourself is very simple. Do you want to know them?
1- Santa Cruz de Tenerife
There are 2.11 yoga studios for every 10,000 residents and the average rating is 4.76. The truth is that it is an ideal place to practice yoga, with the sea breeze caressing you, with the Atlantic Ocean in the background and with a temperature that is usually ideal for much of the year.
In Santa Cruz there are up to 43 centers, the Siming School being one of the most recommended because you can also practice Pilates, Jujitsu, Calisthenics, Meditation and Chikung with the help of the professionals who work there. Of course, you are always on time to practice yoga outdoors in the García Sanabria Municipal Park, a place where tranquility and good views are guaranteed.
2- Granada
In this case we have to talk about 2.02 yoga studios per 10,000 inhabitants and an average rating of 4.71. Granada, which is already a city without the hustle and bustle of other places in Andalusia such as Seville, allows you to enjoy the practice of yoga at affordable prices and with Sierra Nevada just 30 minutes away.
Sabai Salud, a center specialized in hatha yoga, hatha vinyasa and chikung, is undoubtedly the best you will find in the provincial capital. Of course, do not forget that you can also go to the Mirador del Barranco del Abogado to perform your poses in the open air, about 15 minutes from the Alhambra and enjoying some movie sunsets.
3- Pamplona
In the capital of Navarra there are 1.98 yoga studios for every 10,000 inhabitants and the average valuation is 4.85. Despite the fact that San Fermines are lived with great intensity, according to a survey carried out by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU), we are talking about the quietest city in Spain.
What is the most recommendable? The Yoga Pamplona Shiva & Shakti center, where you can practice integral yoga, hatha raja yoga, vinyasa yoga, gentle yoga, akroyoga, prenatal yoga and meditation. If you don’t want to pay, nothing like going to the famous Parque de la Ciudadela, where finding a few minutes of calm is not complicated.
4- A Coruña
In A Coruña there are 1.84 yoga studios for every 10,000 inhabitants and the average rating is 4.95. Between how well you eat there and how easy it is to rest to enjoy the pleasures of life, it is normal that it is one of the most suitable places to open yoga centers.
Perhaps the best of all is the Miyoga Studio Coruña, where you can request integral yoga classes, ashtanga yoga, hatha yoga, prenatal and postnatal yoga, yoga for
children and for pregnant women, vinyasa yoga and meditation. If you are looking for a free plan, go to Santa Margarita Park, since there you will find the concentration you need.
5- San Sebastian
In San Sebastián there are 1.82 yoga studios for every 10,000 inhabitants and the average rating is 4.81. I think it is not necessary to talk about the beauty of this city that has one of the most incredible beaches in the world, where you can take the opportunity to practice yoga. Another alternative is the Cristina Enea Park or Zurriola beach, which is the beach for surfers. However, you are always in time to let yourself be guided by the professionals of centers such as Yoga Shala, where they can boast of being experts in hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga, aerial yoga and yoga for pregnant women.
6- Palma de Mallorca
With 1.80 yoga studios per 10,000 inhabitants and an average rating of 4.71, the capital of the Balearic Islands is another city that deserves to be on this list.
The Mysore Mallorca is the center that we recommend for being specialists in ashtanga yoga, but you can also go to the Bellver Forest or enjoy the sun on beaches such as Cala Ratjada or Cala Mondragó, where the waves of the sea will accompany your movements.
7- Santander
In the Cantabrian capital there are 1.74 yoga centers for every 10,000 inhabitants and the average valuation is 4.88. You can take classes next to the cathedral, at the Yoga Bárbara Martínez specialized in yoga, yoga therapy and natural therapies, or you can go to Mataleñas Park or Mataleñas Beach. Whatever you choose, you are sure to get it right.
8- Oviedo
In Oviedo there are 1.50 yoga centers for every 10,000 inhabitants and the average score is 4.91. In Satya Yoga you can practice hatha yoga, ashtanga yoga, vinyasa yoga, acroyoga, pranayama
and meditation, but if you are looking for an outdoor plan and the weather is good, you should know that you can practice your favorite postures in the beautiful San Francisco Park.
9- Barcelona
Yes, in a city as busy as Barcelona it is also possible to speak of peace and tranquility. There are 1.47 yoga studios for every 10,000 inhabitants and the average valuation is 4.7. Yoga Bindu, with 13 years of experience, is one of the most recommended for price and for its wide offer: ashtanga, hatha yoga, yin yoga, vinyasa and acroyoga. Of course, don’t forget that the Mediterranean climate can invite you to visit the Ciudadela Park.
10- Alicante
Finally, closing this list is Alicante with 1.45 yoga centers per 10,000 inhabitants and an average rating of 4.86. They will speak very well of the Marta Martín Pilates and Yoga Center, although you have two good alternatives without paying a single euro: the Palmeral Park and the Bol Nou Beach, which is in Villajoyosa.
