Laughing Lotus Yoga Center

This welcoming Mission yoga studio is refreshingly diverse—it’s not all spindly yogis in sports bras. You’ll know it by its distinctive melon-hued facade, painted with hearts and blooms. Owners Jasmine Tarkeshi and Dana Flynn opened this studio in 2007, retrofitting a former plumbing garage into a color-splashed haven for getting your flow on. You’ll find packed classes full of all different ages and abilities. Lotus Flow classes—the signature—move from breath-centered warm-ups to sun salutations, standing poses, inversions, arm balances, twists, and hip openers. For a faster-paced flow—more chaturangas, less chanting—book the Soul Sweat class, which incorporates cardio and core-building. Don’t miss Lotus Live classes, a party-like atmosphere in which local DJs or musicians provide a live soundtrack.
