Yoga Studios in Davao

Yoga Studios in Davao

Happy World Yoga Day, Davaoenos! Yes, today we celebrate yoga. For those interested in learning and practicing yoga, we have prepared a list of Yoga Studios in Davao. We also have a list of yoga instructors and Davao Gyms that offer yoga classes.

Yoga is described as a physical and spiritual discipline and philosophy. It is said to have originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. As a physical exercise, it can improve flexibility and strengthen muscles. As a discipline, it helps center thoughts, calms and relaxes, and improves breathing.

It is a popular form of exercise and de-stressing activity that can be done by almost anybody of any age or gender. Anytime. Anywhere. Basic yoga only requires a bit of space and a mat.

It is, however, still best when done with a certified Yoga Instructor to make sure you are doing the poses and breathing properly. Luckily, Davao is home to many yoga centers and yoga instructors. Here is your guide to Yoga Instructors and Yoga Studios in Davao, plus the types of yoga classes available and their contact information.
