GET TO KNOW US
OUR HOME
1422 Hopkins Ave.
Lakewood, OH 44107
Firehouse Yoga is located in the original Lakewood Fire Department Engine House No. 3, which was in service from 1927-1975. After that, the building was owned by Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival (now Great Lakes Theater) and eventually sold to Forest City during initial construction of the Rockport Square townhomes.
The studio began as an informal yoga co-op while the building was Rockport Square’s HOA community space and evolved over the years. We became an official brick & mortar studio in 2019, after the building was acquired by Lakewood Firefighters Local 382 — renting the second floor space from the union’s historical association.
WHO WE ARE
WELCOMING, AFFORDABLE, ADAPTABLE
WELCOMING
At Firehouse Yoga, we believe that yoga is for EVERYONE, and it’s our mission to share the benefits of this transformational practice both on and off the mat, as well as provide a come-as-you-are, non-competitive environment for folks to grow in their own practice and connect with others.
No matter who you are, what body you live in, who you love, or what path you’re traveling, you are welcome here. You don’t need a fancy mat or brand name yoga clothes, and you certainly don’t have to have perfect balance or the ability to touch your toes.
We’re a colorful and eclectic group of teachers and students with a wide variety of interests, both within and outside our yoga practice. We’re laid back. We embrace authenticity. And while we take the practice of yoga very seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Our smaller class space and unconventional location make us a great fit for folks who might feel intimidated walking into a larger studio.
AFFORDABLE
We want to make sure that anyone who seeks to practice yoga with us is able to do so. Sliding scale pricing is available for individual classes. We also offer new student packages, multi-class packs, and a variety of membership levels for ultimate convenience and flexibility (no pun intended).
If none of our existing options fit your current financial situation, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to work with you .
ADAPTABLE
We offer a variety of different class styles, and the studio is stocked with yoga props to help make poses accessible for multiple bodies and abilities. Our teachers offer variations so you can find what works for your body and get what you need from the class — whether that be more or less intensity.
While a lot of studios offer a full menu of hot and/or powerful classes with a sprinkling of softer, gentler practices, we provide the opposite. The bulk of our schedule consists of slower-paced classes with a focus on foundational postures, breath work, meditation, and rest — complimented by a few physically dynamic classes to round things out.
Nothing against a hot or powerful flow. We know lots of folks prefer it, and there are many great power classes to be found in the CLE, led by some really amazing teachers. Our vibe is just a little different, that’s all. So, we play to our strengths and prioritize what we do best.
Like Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
