Yoga for Life was designed to be different than other traditional hot yoga studios. The focus of the architectural design, by renowned Seattle architect John Fleming, was to create a sense of space, serenity and fun, while maximizing space for yoga practice. Inside the studio you will find maximized natural light and abundant fresh, oxygenated air; energy-efficient and electronically-stabilized heating and humidification, and anti-microbial, slip-resistant rubber flooring.

As a Hot Yoga studio, energy efficiency becomes a key component of mechanical systems and operations. Our studio utilizes a combination of a traditional heat-pump system and a radiant heating system. The mechanical system was designed to bring in 500 cubic feet of freshly oxygenated air per minute into the studio to keep the breathing air for students fresh and energizing. Ideal humidity levels of the studio are digitally controlled based on external air temperature and relative humidity, and are connected to the heat pump system. That way teachers spend less time closing and opening doors and more time on attending students. The studio has anti-microbial, slip resistant rubber flooring with adequate cushion that creates a firm, yet comfortable ground for your practice.

YfL's first studio in Issaquah Highland is a result of amazing generosity, thoughtfulness, and creativity of few extremely talented individuals:
