Urban Yoga Spa (UYS) is, well, exactly what it sounds like: a yoga studio and spa in an urban location. In downtown Seattle, UYS offers hot yoga, massage, manicures and pedicures, waxing, and reiki. The yoga is practiced “hot” to facilitate flexibility, increase the cardiovascular workout and improve circulation. The entire experience from yoga to spa is intended for self-improvement, allowing patrons to rid themselves of personal obstacles from the physical aspects of excess weight to the mental factors of stress, anger, and fear.

Striving to inspire students through yoga and meditation, Be Luminous Yoga has options for all levels, including classes, workshops, retreats, teacher training, and philosophical study. Providing a non-competitive environment, the studio offers Power Flow, Slow Flow, and Restorative Yoga. Power Flow is a more physically challenging class, practiced in a room up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Slow Flow is practiced at room temperature and at a slower pace to allow refinement of poses. Restorative Yoga consists of less poses, each held for longer durations. Meditation is offered in yoga classes as well as in workshops and series.
