Studio in Details
Overview
Yellow Brick Yoga is a locally owned hot yoga studio in Lawrence, Kansas, founded in 2018. Infrared radiant panels heat the practice room to 93–97°F, creating an environment that encourages focus and breath work. The studio emphasizes community, self-inquiry, and connection, viewing yoga as a practice that extends beyond the mat. Hands-on assists are offered with consent, and students should bring their own mat, props, water, and towels; loaners are available. Preregistration is recommended as classes fill quickly. The studio is open to adults and teens aged 13 and older. The founders are two native Kansas women inspired by Baptiste yoga, with a vision to create a space for personal exploration through movement, meditation, and inquiry.
Class Offerings
The schedule includes a variety of styles. Heated power vinyasa builds heat, stamina, and flexibility through dynamic sequences. Slow flow moves at a gentler pace with longer holds and breathwork, suitable for beginners.

Yin yoga and Happy Hour Yin offer relaxing, meditative practices with longer floor poses; the Friday class ends with a group cheer featuring non-alcoholic beverages.
