OUR PICK: Mobile Om, 1114 S. St. Mary’s St., Suite 210, (210) 816-0936, mobileomtx.com

What makes Mobile Om stand out is that the studio doesn’t simply seek to build a human community, but also to foster a connection to the city at large by holding classes in a variety of locales. Whether you’d rather downward dog under the sun over the Hays Street Bridge or utkatasana bathed in prismatic light filtered through the windows of Southwest School of Art’s Coates Chapel, Mobile Om has you covered. Beer-loving yogis can even drop in to a class at Freetail Brewing. The studio fosters a community of inclusivity and actively welcomes members of all skill levels – promoting yoga as a practice for every body. Classes have a casual atmosphere, fostering comfort for beginners and more experienced practitioners alike, and are often held at cafes, which makes for a perfect opportunity to grab a cappuccino and bathe in the post-om glow alongside fellow classmates.
