There are many ways to get fit in this city, whether it be runs along Trstenik beach, hikes up Marjan hill, or simply just sweating out your body weight in the hot summer heat. One tried and true way to feel your best, clear your head, and mediate negatives away is through yoga. Having been practiced for thousands of years, yoga has surely made a comeback in recent times and within the city of Split we have some great studios to help you find your inner “ananda”.
A bit farther out from the center we have Studio One, located on Gradišćanskih Hrvata 16. Operating for nearly 7 years now, Studio One practices yoga as well as pilates. Authentic yoga and Vinyasa yoga are practiced every morning and evening, in the bright hall of their building where only positive energy is allowed. The instructors at Studio One are trained to bring you sports recreation, as well as the education on how to truly live a positive life. A drop in session costs around 40 kuna, and they have weekly and unlimited packages available as well. You can view their website for full price list and class programs at www.yogasplit.com.
The other yoga studio more than worth a mention in Split is ZenYoga, located in the center on Domilijina 1. This yoga studio practices a different form of yoga focusing entirely on the art of ‘zen’. In the practice of zen, you are trained to bring the body, breath and mind in order through a wide range of physical postures, breathing exercises, corrective exercises, massage, and meditation. ZenYoga offers three levels of practice, from beginner to advanced, as well as a therapeutic yoga class for those that have been out of exercise. Classes usually last around 60 minutes and the best part? The first class is free! Zenyoga also specializes in Šišmiš (bat yoga) which is done in hammocks to release tension in your joints. Be sure to check out the gallery on their website to see what we are talking about! You can view their website here: zenyogasplit.com
The other wonderful thing about Dalmatia in general are the yoga retreats we have available in the summer on the island of Vis. Leaving from the port of Split, be sure to look into the Summersalt Yoga for this summer - we hear their SUP Yoga Retreat and Balance Yoga Retreat are not to be missed!

Namaste!
