Yoga in Vail
Move, breathe and reconnect in the fresh mountain air by taking a yoga class in Vail. Whether you’re flowing through sun salutations with panoramic mountain views, meditating beside a rushing creek or sharing your mat with an adorable baby goat, Vail is the perfect place for some high-elevation movement and mindfulness.
Yoga in the Elements
Mountain Top Yoga at Mid-Vail
Start your morning with sun-kissed peaks and a deep stretch. Held on the lower level of the Mid-Vail deck in summer, these classes come with sweeping views of Gore Range. Secure a scenic gondola ticket at the Lionshead or Vail Village ticket offices before heading up.
Goat Yoga at Vail Stables
Vinyasa meets farmyard fun at Vail Stables. As you flow through poses, playful baby goats hop on your back, nuzzle your lap or curl up for a cuddle during chavasana. But you can also simply sit back, soak up the craggy mountain scenery and enjoy their antics. Stick around for Happy G.O.A.T. Hour, where you can sip wine and mingle with the animals.
Solaris Free Community Yoga
Unroll your mat on the Solaris Plaza’s bright-green lawn for a complimentary outdoor class led by local instructors. These high-altitude flows, held during the warmer months, encourage deep breaths and mindful movements. Remember to bring along your mat, sunscreen and a reusable water bottle.
Studio Yoga Classes
Dryland Fitness & Spa
At Dryland Fitness & Spa in Gravity Haus Vail, vinyasa yoga classes build strength with more challenging movements, while beginner-friendly, slow-flow classes encourage gentle stretching and post-adventure recovery. Afterward, head to the spa for massage treatments that melt away tension, ease sore muscles and leave you feeling refreshed.
Vail Racquet Club & Fitness Center
Over in East Vail, Vail Racquet Club offers yoga, pilates and recovery-focused classes in a low-key setting. Stretch & Roll is great for loosening up after a long hike or ski day, and Pilates Mat strengthens your core. After class, the club’s heated lap pool, hot tubs and soothing steam rooms are the best way to unwind.
Aquarian Uprising
For something a little different, Aquarian Uprising brings together yoga, breathwork and meditation with a mix of traditional and modern techniques. You can even schedule a session in their salt room, which recreates the unique microclimate found in natural salt caves.
Meditation & Mindfulness in Vail
Vail’s natural beauty makes it easy to slow down and find stillness. Whether you’re forest bathing among towering pines or meditating to the sounds of a mountain stream, these peaceful spots set the stage for mindful moments:
- Betty Ford Alpine Gardens & Vail Nature Center: Admire the scenery on a quiet bench surrounded by native blooms and alpine plants.
- Vail Public Library: Find a cozy couch by the fire in the library to relax and read a book; or sit on a bench and listen to the Gore Creek’s rushing water on the scenic path beyond the building.
- Vail Hiking Trails: Wander along the water, find a shady tree and settle in for a meditative break along one of Vail’s peaceful trails.
