Yoga – written joga in Slovene, but pronounced the same as in English – is an easy addiction for the body-loving hedonist, as you stretch out and breathe, getting in touch with every joint and tendon, existing more fully within your skin and learning from the feedback of a well-done asana. With regular practice you’ll be relaxed, serene, and operating at a higher level of consciousness, when not wracked with pain, doubt, imbalances and an itch you can’t scratch in public.
While there are many yoga schools and teachers in Ljubljana, those in town for only a short time, or locals who’re less committed to the practice, will have to search for places offering something more casual, where you can just turn up and take a space on the floor if you don’t want to run through another class with Adriene in your room or do something on the grass in Tivoli Park.
We thus acted like a tourist and got in touch with the 14 yoga schools we could most easily find online and asked in English about drop-in classes, and this is what we learned from those who responded within 48 hours. (Summary: It’s usually possible, the fee is from 10 to 15 euros, and you should call, email or Facebook in advance.)
Note that clicking on any of the names will take you to the related Facebook page or website to make a booking, and while not all of the sites have English pages they’re all able to answer any questions you may have.
