About Us

Voted Best Yoga Studio in Pittsburgh, The Om Lounge is more than a yoga studio — it’s a vibrant community founded by Suzanne Nagel. With locations in East Liberty and the Strip District, we offer a variety of classes taught in our signature styles: The Om Lounge Sequencing Method© for yoga, and The Om Lounge Sculpt Method© for yoga sculpt. Our approach is creative, athletic, intelligently challenging — and most importantly, fun.
‍
Rooted in the philosophy of Vinyasa Krama (a step-by-step progression toward a goal), our classes are designed to build intentionally — whether toward a peak posture or a state of deep clarity. Whether you’re flowing, sculpting, or simply showing up to move and breathe, we guide you every step of the way.

At The Om Lounge, every class is a full-body experience — by design. Rooted in our two signature styles — The Om Lounge Sequencing Method© and The Om Lounge Sculpt Method©our classes are intentionally crafted to move you physically, challenge you mentally, and uplift you emotionally.
‍
Our founder, Suzanne Nagel, grew up immersed in dance and gymnastics, where movement wasn’t just about technique — it was about joy. After decades of practicing yoga, and then teaching it, she realized so many classes lacked structure or direction, making it hard for students to truly progress. She saw the need for a method that combined athleticism, musicality, and playfulness — all while honoring the philosophy behind the practice. That vision led to the creation of The Om Lounge Sequencing Method©.
‍
Our style is grounded in Vinyasa Krama — “vinyasa” meaning breath-linked movement, and “krama” meaning step-by-step progression. Each class builds from simple to more complex postures, preparing the body to safely and confidently approach peak poses. The result? A practice that feels intelligent, empowering, and transformational.

Our Yoga Sculpt classes, taught in The Om Lounge Sculpt Method©, amplify the intensity with strength training, upbeat music, and a sweaty, high-energy vibe — all with the same thoughtful structure and emphasis on progression. Whether you’re flowing or sculpting, you’ll work every muscle, elevate your heart rate, and leave class feeling stronger, clearer, and more connected.
‍
From the breath to the beats, the sweat to the stillness, our classes offer a complete mind-body experience. We flow to modern, energizing playlists (yes, the volume is up), and we don’t shy away from laughter or realness. You’ll be practicing alongside beginners and long-time yogis alike — and every class is “all levels,” with modifications and challenges woven in.
‍
Our mission is to share the deep benefits of yoga: physical health, emotional resilience, and connection to yourself and others. Our teachers are lifelong students of the practice. They regularly train, take classes, and show up for themselves — so they can show up fully for you. We honor the roots of yoga and hold space for every person to be fully themselves. So whether you’re here to sweat, reflect, build strength, or just get through your day — you do you. We’ve got you.
