We have custom designed our studio space to allow for a warm and spacious yoga experience. When you enter you will see a welcoming front desk and entry area where you can catch up on what's happening and store your gear before class. Off the entry area are two bathrooms/changing rooms. Our large studio room is bright and airy with a cork floor.

Our classes are designed with experience levels in mind but if you have any questions about your ability level or see a time that works best for you please do not hesitate to ask any of our staff. We are here to accommodate your needs.
Rates for our yoga classes vary according to class time length. You can save time and money by signing up for a 5 or 10 class block online or at the front desk. See our yoga class rates or learn about our teacher training programs.
Events and workshops are individually priced. Check out our upcoming workshops and events.
- Always come with an open heart and mind. You are the most important part of your practice. It is important to stay hydrated. Feel free to fill your water bottle complimentary at our water cooler, located by the front desk. Bring a yoga mat to practice on. They can be purchased around the Houston area at sporting goods and department stores, or online. If you ever forget a mat, we have a supply of mats available for use at our studio.
Please try to arrive to class 15 minutes before the start time. If you coming to the studio for the first time this is especially important so you have time to fill out our waiver and get acquainted with the space. When entering the yoga room please do so quietly and with respect to other students, if you need to leave class to use the facilities please do so in the same manner. If you need to leave class early please inform the teacher in advance and set up your mat close to the door to minimize the disruption of the class. Shoes are not to be worn inside the studio room. Use the cubbies in the reception area for your personal belongings including cell phones, pagers, iPads, and PDAs. Please be sure that the sounds is turned off or to vibrate on all your communication devices. If you are a medical professional who needs to be near these devices they may be brought into the studio room on vibrate only.
Q: Who is yoga for?
- Absolutely everyone. Many people are timid about coming to a yoga class because they believe they aren’t flexible enough, strong enough, or relaxed enough. This is exactly why you start the practice to begin with! Yoga increases your flexibility, your strength, and brings inner peace and calmness to your heart, mind, body, and spirit.
Q: I am injured/previously had surgery/pregnant. Can I practice yoga at Pralaya?
- Many of our students come to Pralaya Yoga Studio specifically to address injuries and joint and muscle limitations from previous surgeries or chronic physical misalignment. Our teachers are thoroughly trained in anatomy and physiology to help correct muscle imbalances and energetic misalignments that cause physical discomfort and energetic dissonance in your body. More practically speaking let your teacher know about any issues and concerns you have before class begins so they can help you make the necessary modifications.
