Above and Beyond Yoga and Salt Therapy

On Hillcrest Road in west Mobile, Above and Beyond Yoga and Salt Therapy pairs a full slate of yoga classes with something few other studios in the area offer: a dedicated Himalayan salt therapy room. Owner Shoshana built the studio around the idea that yoga and salt therapy complement each other, giving members a way to work on flexibility and strength alongside a quieter, drug free approach to respiratory and skin wellness.

The yoga schedule runs seven days a week and spans a wide range of intensities. Heated power classes climb to around 105 degrees for students who want a demanding, sweat heavy session, while gentle, non heated and restorative classes serve beginners or anyone easing back into movement. Chair yoga is also part of the rotation, which broadens the studio’s reach to older adults or anyone who needs a lower impact option.

The salt therapy room sets this studio apart from most other yoga spaces in Mobile. Salt therapy, sometimes called halotherapy, involves sitting in a room lined with Himalayan salt, and the studio markets it as a way to help manage respiratory and skin conditions without medication. Pairing that room with a full yoga schedule lets members build a wellness routine that goes beyond a typical class and mat setup.

New students are typically offered a discounted first class, and the studio also runs promotional trial periods for members who want to sample a range of classes before committing to a membership. That structure gives newcomers room to test both the heated and non heated formats before deciding which style fits their body and schedule best.

The studio has built a loyal following over the years, reflected in a large volume of five star reviews through its Mindbody booking page. Regulars often point to the variety of instructors and class styles, along with the salt room, as reasons they keep their membership active rather than bouncing between studios. Several instructors lead the KYM Asana style classes, which blend a more traditional, breath centered approach with the studio’s heated formats.

The studio’s teaching staff has grown over the years to include a wide bench of instructors, each bringing a different background to the schedule, from dedicated hot power teachers to those who focus mainly on gentler, restorative formats. That depth of staffing means the class schedule can stay full seven days a week without leaning too heavily on any single instructor, which helps keep the studio’s offerings consistent even during busy seasons or when an instructor is traveling.

Because the salt room operates separately from the yoga schedule, members can book a salt therapy session on its own or pair it with a class, depending on what their day allows. Some members use it as a stand alone recovery visit after a hard workout elsewhere in the city, while others treat it as a cooldown following one of the studio’s own heated classes. That flexibility has helped the salt room become a draw in its own right, not just an add on to the yoga membership.

Membership pricing is structured to give newcomers a low barrier way to try the studio before committing long term, with the discounted first class and the extended trial period both designed to let students sample multiple instructors and formats. Once members find a class style and teacher they connect with, many convert to an ongoing monthly membership rather than continuing to pay per class.

The studio’s beginner friendly approach extends into how instructors talk through poses during class, with an emphasis on modifications for students who are newer to yoga or working around physical limitations. That attentiveness has helped Above and Beyond build a reputation as a studio where less experienced students do not feel out of place among more advanced practitioners, even in a heated power class.

Located in west Mobile off Hillcrest Road, the studio draws members from across the city, many of whom come specifically for the combination of heated yoga and salt therapy that is not easily found elsewhere in the area. For anyone building a consistent wellness routine in Mobile, Above and Beyond Yoga and Salt Therapy offers a rare pairing of movement and recovery under one roof.
