I’m heading out to my yoga teacher training in just a few days! Meanwhile, I am getting bombarded by emails, Facebook messages, texts and verbal inquiries from friends looking for somewhere to do yoga this summer. I can recommend several studios or gyms, but it sounds like no one is really willing to pay for a studio membership. If you can’t commit to a studio for whatever reason, there are actually quite a few local places you can go for cheap and free yoga in Dallas this summer. This list will change again in the fall, as some of these are temporary.
NOTE: All classes listed are non-meditative or religion-neutral or Holy Yoga when specified.
The Yoga Factory (Dallas location) – has $5 Featured Teacher classes throughout the week. You can find their schedule on the MindBody app for your smartphone or on their web site.
Lululemon on Legacy in Plano – not technically Dallas, but the only location that currently offers free yoga classes on Sundays at 10am. They feature a studio each month – June was the studio I attend, The Yoga Factory. In July, it will be another studio.
Whole Foods Park Lane – will host free yoga in their upstairs meeting room from 6:30pm – 8pm on Wednesdays. My friend Erin from Namah Shivaya will be teaching, tell her “hi” from me!
Holy Yoga at Park Cities Baptist Church – donation-based class by Master Level instructor Danette on Tuesdays 9:20am – 10:20am and Thursdays 12:00 noon – 1:00pm, West Bldg., Room #104

The Mat studio Karma Happy Hour – July 17 only, at 6:30pm there will be an Open Flow class followed by a free wine Happy Hour at 7:30pm. The event is free but you must register ahead of time online.
Holy Yoga in Downtown Frisco – beginning July 16, my friend Maureen will be teaching a flow class (all levels) for $10 per class if you purchase at 10 class card at The Sacred Space in downtown Frisco Thursdays at 5:30pm and Fridays at 9:30am. This studio also offers restorative classes with Christian meditation for various costs.
Holy Yoga in the Park, Richardson – taught by me! I will be teaching a 45 minute Flow class at 6:00am every Monday, July 13 – August 3. Free – donations accepted but not required. All levels welcome!
The list is short for now, but I’ll add to it as we go along this summer. If you are an instructor offering free or low-cost yoga classes in the Richardson or North Dallas area, please let me know and I will add your class to the list!
