Yoga in Amsterdam covers three quite different things: studios running a public timetable, single teachers who work by appointment, and wellness centres where a class is one item on a longer menu.
Knowing which of the three you are booking stops you buying a class card from somewhere that does not run classes.
Yoga studios to try first
Yoga in this city splits between broad timetables carrying six styles at once and studios built around a single lineage or a single life stage, and that difference matters far more than the star rating.
The six below sit in the Jordaan, Noord, Oost, West and Zuid, and their timetables have almost nothing in common.
Yoga Den
Classes start at twenty past six in the morning on the Zeilstraat in Oud-Zuid and run in two blocks either side of a long afternoon gap, published to the minute rather than as opening hours.
A cafe on the premises makes it the easiest of these to turn up to alone, and 89 per cent of its roughly 140 reviews are five-star.
Svaha Yoga Jordaan Studio
Six styles under one roof on the Willemsstraat -- Ashtanga, Bikram, Hatha, Jivamukti, Vinyasa and Yin -- which makes this the one to pick before you know what you are looking for.
Doors open at half past nine and stay open until ten at night on weekdays, closing at eight at weekends, on a flat five stars across 44 reviews.
The Breathing Space
Breath-led vinyasa on Ashtanga bones is the single specialism on Van Kinsbergenstraat, where the first class of the day begins at half past six in the morning.
Weekends are mornings only, nine to twelve, teacher training starts here in January 2026, and 60 reviews sit at five stars.
Cristina Libanori Iyengar Yoga & Ayurveda
Iyengar is the method taught on Dintelstraat in the Rivierenbuurt, a named lineage rather than a general flow class, with Ayurvedic consultations from the same address.
The week is unusually uneven -- a single hour on Tuesday, a full day on Wednesday, split mornings and afternoons on Friday and Saturday -- so the timetable will decide this one long before its 51 reviews at five stars do.
Yoga School North
Everything at the Nachtegaalstraat studio in Noord is built around pregnancy: breathing, movement, relaxation and preparation for birth, taught five days a week.
Classes run from eight in the morning to half past nine at night, with 50 reviews at 4.9.
Thrive Yoga East
Groups are kept small in the Indische Buurt, where Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, flow and aerial work share a timetable with pilates.
Nine in the morning to half past ten at night, Sundays included, is the longest day of the six, and 89 per cent of its 47 reviews are five-star.
Studios that open early and close late
The Breathing Space on the Van Kinsbergenstraat in West starts at half past six in the morning and runs to nine at night from Monday to Wednesday, teaching breath-centred, Ashtanga-inspired vinyasa.
Its weekends shrink to nine until noon, and Friday stops at half past six, so the late slots are a weekday thing.
Studio 108 on the Karel du Jardinstraat in De Pijp opens half past seven to ten every weekday and keeps Sunday evenings open until nine, closing early only on Saturday.
Svaha Yoga’s Jordaan studio on the Willemsstraat runs half past nine to ten on weekdays and teaches Ashtanga, Bikram, Hatha, Jivamukti, Vinyasa and Yin under one roof.
Studios with one thing they do
Yoga School North on the Nachtegaalstraat in Noord specialises in pregnancy yoga, five days a week, built around breathing, movement and preparation for birth rather than a general timetable.
MindfulYogaKids teaches children only, from the Papaverweg in Noord.
De Lijfschool on the Van Ostadestraat in De Pijp teaches in Dutch rather than English, nine to ten on weekdays and nothing at the weekend.
Language is worth confirming whenever you book, since a class listing does not always say which one it is taught in.
Where a class is part of something larger
Cristina Libanori on the Dintelstraat in the Rivierenbuurt teaches Iyengar alongside Ayurvedic care, on split days that change shape through the week and a Tuesday that is one hour long.
Karunika Spiritual Center on the Meerhuizenplein sets yoga beside Reiki and Thai massage, seven in the morning to ten at night for most of the week.
The ones you have to ring first
MangalaM Meditation & Yoga on the Amsteldijk and The Blue Zone Studio in the World Fashion Centre publish no opening hours at all, so both are a phone call rather than a drop-in.
Studio MiYo shares the Papaverweg address and the phone number with MindfulYogaKids and is listed nine to five, seven days a week.
When it is not yoga you want
Some listings filed under yoga turn out to be a massage practice or a hireable studio space, so read what a place actually does before you buy anything.
For strength work or one-to-one instruction the city’s gyms and fitness clubs, personal trainers and martial arts schools are separate lists.
The treatments some of these studios bolt on are covered properly by the city’s spas and beauty salons.
