Services
We design our online yoga classes according to principles of safe alignment and thoughtful sequencing. Our trained certified staff of dedicated instructors suggest modifications and variations for all levels of practitioners. Online classes require the individual to assess whether they are ready for the class they have chosen and to gauge the safety of the practice within your own personal physical limitations.
This all-levels class uses Satya and other somatic practices, yoga asana, meditation and breath work to enhance and direct our vital life force energy. We'll use props for Online Zoom class, 1-2 blankets, 2 blocks, strap, bolster, sometimes a chair. The Online Zoom class is recorded for those who can't make the scheduled Live Stream time.
Since 2005, The Yoga Haven has been Galveston Island's center for yoga practice. We recognize the different needs and experience levels of each student and offer relevant practice skills to enable personal growth. Kathleen shares the benefits of her long-time practice with humor and grace. Her classes blend poetry and wisdom teachings with her understanding of the power of yoga asana to transform.
Improved flexibility, strengthened mindful behavior, enhanced balance, and body awareness. These are just some of the benefits to establishing a regular yoga practice. Being a part of the online community brings these advantages and more. Read below how we've helped others discover their home practice.

Wonderful experience with their beach yoga class while on vacation in Galveston! I had never done yoga on the beach before and wow, it was awesome! The class was not too hard or too easy, just what I look for especially in an early morning class. The instructor was so welcoming and friendly. There were definitely some regulars there but I never once felt like an outsider. I wish I lived there so I could take more of their classes!

Not a positive experience for me -
I practiced at this studio briefly before COVID hit. I had been practicing Vinyasa and wanted something more slow and contemplative. Saw Kathleen's studio and thought I had lucked out.
I have only practiced Yoga for about 20 years and so I am by no means an expert, but I'm confident enough to say that while I think you can get a good class covering the technical aspects of the movements, I found, in my interactions with the owner, some of the more philosophical aspects of Yoga to be missing.
I had just purchased a 10-class pass when COVID decided to pay us

Before I met Kathleen and her teachers at The Yoga Haven, I thought yoga was a) hot, and b) a lot of jumping up and down (I got that impression from yoga classes at my national 'big box' fitness center). That wasn't my thing after hip replacement surgery!
I heard about 'Yin Yoga' and learned that it was taught--among other styles--here. So I gave it a try and was immediately hooked--by the skill of the teachers, by the restorative powers of Yin, by the ambiance of the charming studio.
Over the last few years I've taken many classes at The Yoga Haven from several teachers

I have practiced all over the world and Galveston. The team at Yoga Haven go beyond professional instruction. They are compassionate and help to share the teachings of yoga on many levels, both physical and spiritual. Class participants are invited to practice on whatever level may be comfortable to them at the time. I personally love the attentive, deliberate pace of the classes. The Yoga Haven's love for community stretches far outside of the walls of the studio and owner Kathleen often supports local causes. What a great asset to the City of Galveston.

I cannot recommend the Yoga Haven highly enough. Kathleen, the owner, who also teaches several classes is one of the finest teachers I have ever taken a class from and I've been practicing for about 10 years in Southern California. I recommend Bianca's classes as well.
I lived in Galveston for about 15 months, and while I was there this studio really was a haven. The vibes are warm and calming, and the staff and other students I met were all very friendly and respectful. The practice space is clean and beautiful - very well maintained.
They offer a student discount that is a very reasonable

Yoga Haven is a true refuge from the storms in our lives. I have visited Galveston from out-of-state during the last two years and have had extremely positive experiences at Yoga Haven. I’ve found that physical issues from aging or injury, as well as stresses from life, are calmed by the tranquility provided by the experienced yoga practitioners. Yoga Haven offers an atmosphere of encouragement and inspiration. I appreciate the individualized guidance that is offered during the yoga practice, as well as the diverse class offerings. Kathleen at Yoga Haven fosters an environment that is very welcoming

My back was in so much pain I felt like I was trapped in my body Jojo was very sensitive with that and corrected my alignment every class. Lisa works hard on the mat but it gives me confidence in my ability to grow space in my body .The teachers there have helped me find the strength in my body. I feel alive, I can run and I have very little pain
THANK YOU

Favorite yoga studio ever. All of the instructors are friendly, patient and really want you to get the best experience for your practice, whatever your level may be. There is such a wide variety of class types; have tried Vinyasa, 101, Restorative classes and really enjoyed all of them. I also love the physical setting- high ceilings, brick walls, painted windows, it is exactly what you would imagine a yoga studio would be like. They have a nice selection of books, mats, clothes and accessories available to buy as well.

I really love Yoga Haven :) The instructors are exceptional. There is a class for everyone, the instructors do a great job of providing modifications. I love their use of props. The over all environment is so peaceful and relaxing. Every time I walk in I know i'm going to walk out feeling amazing. It has really helped me relieve stress throughout Nursing School! Also, Kathleen offers a student discount which really helps me out. :) So happy to have found such an amazing studio while living on the island. A++

Came here tonight for the first time and was so impressed with the studio. It's such a welcoming, nice place with a calming atmosphere. Relaxing music is playing in the background. Was greeted by Kathleen and given a quick tour of the studio before class started. Took the slow flow class with Jojo. Very soothing and Jojo was extremely helpful as she could sense I was having a difficult time! As a novice to yoga, this was a great intro class. Will definitely be coming here again!

I live down the street from Yoga Haven and decided I wanted to try to take a few classes after a couple years of not practicing. I have only taken one class so far but I was very pleased with the instruction! They provide props for you so you only need to bring your mat. They offer several different kinds of classes throughout the week and I am told all can accommodate someone who isn't experienced.
You can pay for an individual class (they have student discounts) or you can buy a bulk amount of classes at a discounted rate. I thought the price was very reasonable!

Adorable studio in a great old building! Exposed brick and lovely colors! I took a class in studio but also hosted a beach-side class for some girlfriends. Marissa taught the AMAZING beachside class, and I believe it was Kate in studio. I'm a regular yogi but my friends aren't: both classes met needs of everyone. This would be my regular studio if I was a Galvest-onian.

What a great little oasis of joy right on the island! I am not sure our visit could have been more perfect and Kathleen was a delight to meet!
I had found The Yoga Haven through an internet search. Me and some girlfriends were celebrating a bachelorette party and wanted to throw in a little relaxation (before the binge drinking later that night)!
Kathleen set up a wonderful private class for us. All of us had varying yoga experience from never having done it to a hot yoga yogi! Kathleen led us through an hour of restorative yoga including stretches, poses (including the mermaid, one of

If you're a local or just on vacation, this is a wonderful studio.
I traveled to Galveston solo recently, and keeping in my vacation theme (activities, entertainment, temporary sobriety, and relaxation), I stumbled upon Yoga Haven. It was actually a stroke of curiosity and wanderment, leading to the almost perfect overall vacation itinerary. Also, as the class was only $12, it made the $40 groupon massage coupon that I decided against buying at some other place in town, laughable.
I took Svetlana's Thursday 6 PM Yoga Roots class. She doesn't rush you into any moves, and is right

This is a wonderful, comforting place to get your yoga on in G-town. They offer hatha-based yoga, more vinyasa (flow) types, but it really depends what class you take. Located right on 25th and Market, you can't miss it. The studio directors are Kathleen DiNatale and Courtney Walker, who are excellent teachers. They also have a mini-boutique where they sell yoga DVD's, books, even some yoga wear. Also, if you left your mat at home, they have mats you can borrow, as well as various props and bolsters. So what are you waiting for? Get some ohm on at Yoga Haven :)
