Breathe in. Breathe out. The fresh aromas of pine and wildflowers fill the lungs as you fix your gaze at one of three stunning hills framing Spearfish. The melodic sound of birds singing and Spearfish creek rushing dissolves stress, and the lush grass is ready for you to kick off your shoes, and begin your practice. Yoga is universal; you can practice it anywhere, anytime. However-a sweet backdrop helps, doesn’t it? In Spearfish, you have the opportunity to find any plot of grass, and find solitude to basically practice anywhere, but here are some places that are absolute gold.
#1: Spearfish Yoga & Cycle:
Spearfish Yoga & Cycle is a great way to meet some fellow yoga lovers and take a variety of classes! They offer Restorative Yoga, Heated Power Yoga, Zen Flow Yoga, and much more, all suitable for all experience levels. Alongside classes, they host workshops often, check our local events page to see what's coming up!
#2: Salem Park:
Group fitness not your jam? Grab your yoga mat, and pick a soft spot in the shade! Salem Park isn’t wildly busy, so you can enjoy a little more peace and quiet for your practice, which makes it my number 1 location for outdoor meditation or a gentle flow. Spearfish Creek rushes by; the trees create a soft whisper in the summer breeze and provide abundant shade on a hot day. Any plot of grass is perfect for sitting, flowing--reconnecting.
#3: City Park:
Parents! This is your place. This park is often times crowded, but large enough to still create your own space while being able to keep a watchful eye on children at the playground. There’s plenty of tree coverage, plush green grass (yoga mat, optional?) and yes, Spearfish Creek still makes a powerful presence at this location. After your practice, the D.C. Booth Fish Hatchery is a short walk from the park, where children can feed fish, explore the Yellowstone Boat, Railcar, Museum, and the Booth House--making this an easy top location for family yogis!
#4: The Hot Room:
The Hot Room is a go to place for many a yoga lover. With a heated studio that offers a infrared heating system they are a favorite for those looking for a hot yoga session, especially during the winter months. They offer anything from Hot Yoga, Slow Flow and Meditation, Detox Flow, and many other classes! This is a must try place if you're a local or a visitor!
#5: Amber Sky Aerial Arts:
If you're looking for a yoga class with a twist, Amber Sky Aerial Arts has you covered. Rather than traditional yoga, their Aerial Core and Yoga class blends aerial arts, fitness, and yoga. Using the aerial hammock, you'll discover new ways to flow and engage muscles you may not have targeted before. It's a great class for all experience levels looking for something unique and gravity-defying.
Maybe you find a random patch of grass during a hike, a walk on the bike path, or stumble your way into a yoga studio while visiting. Wherever you end up, you’ve found the right spot. Breathe in, Breathe out…and enjoy your stay in our beautiful town.
