Visit Olentangy Caverns In Ohio For A One-Of-A-Kind Cave Yoga Class You Won’t Soon Forget

Options for yoga classes have become downright creative over the past few years. From outdoor brewery classes to goat yoga, practicing this mindful exercise can be a truly adventurous experience. Today's activity is yet another fascinating spin on the traditional practice: cave yoga. Head to Olentangy Caverns and prepare to be inspired by the unique cavern setting and calming yoga class offered there. Whether you're a dedicated yogi or someone who enjoys new experiences, you'll find this activity merits a place on your bucket list.

Welcome to Olentangy Caverns! This must-see landmark is a series of rooms, caves, and passages formed millions upon millions of years ago by an underground river.

Historically, these caves were used as shelter by the Wyandotte Native Americans. The caverns are also known as the Olentangy Indian Caverns.

And while there are many reasons to visit, perhaps one of the most unique is the chance to practice cave yoga.

To get down to the cave, visitors will need to walk 54 steps, so wearing tennis shoes is recommended. The class will meet at the parking lot before heading into the cave together.

The only cave yoga class in the state of Ohio, this activity is one that will allow you to connect to the unique cavern setting in an unforgettable way.

Wondering what else to bring? The instructors recommend an old beach towel to protect your mat, as the floor of the caverns can be damp and muddy. You might also bring a hand towel for the occasional water drips that happen inside the cave.

The duration of the 45-minute class will take place inside the cave. A skilled instructor will lead you through a series of poses and breathwork.

Visitors should also note that the cave is naturally 55 degrees year-round, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea.

Of course, you don't need to be a seasoned yogi to enjoy this experience; all levels are welcome!
