Level Yoga Vero Beach – Yoga Classes, Hot Yoga & Retreats
If you’re searching for a yoga studio in Vero Beach, chances are you’re looking for more than just exercise. At Level Yoga, owner Amanda Steadman has created a space where movement, breath, and community come together. With two beautiful locations and over a decade of experience, Level Yoga has become a trusted place in Indian River County for both beginners and seasoned yogis.
A Local’s Journey From Student to Studio Owner
Amanda grew up right here in Vero Beach. After college and marriage, she returned home with her husband and family. It was during a stressful season of her life that she leaned into yoga—not just for the stretch, but for the way it helped her leave class feeling lighter, calmer, and more hopeful.That experience sparked her to complete a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2008. By 2015, she and a fellow teacher launched the first Level Yoga studio at Royal Palm Pointe. Ten years later, Amanda has guided hundreds of students through classes, workshops, and retreats—all while raising a family and growing a community of teachers.
🎧 Listen to Episode 1: Amanda shares how Level Yoga began and why yoga is more than just stretching.
What Are the Benefits of Yoga?
Many people walk into a class hoping to become more flexible, but yoga offers so much more:
- Strength and stability for the whole body
- Stress relief and better mental clarity
- Breathwork techniques that calm anxiety
- Presence in the moment, learning to quiet a busy mind
Amanda explains that yoga is “a work in, not just a workout.” Through practices like Ujjayi breathing (also known as victorious or ocean breath), students learn how to breathe deeper and calmer—something that helps both on the mat and in everyday life.
Inside the Studio: A Day in the Life
Running Level Yoga means Amanda wears many hats: instructor, manager, retreat planner, and even content creator. She still teaches multiple classes each week while making time to practice alongside her teachers. “Teaching isn’t my practice,” she says. “I need my own time on the mat, too.”
The studio offers a variety of options: Level 1 Vinyasa for beginners, Level 2 for more seasoned yogis, Hot Power Yoga for those who want to sweat, and Yin Yoga for deep stretching and relaxation.
Level Yoga also hosts yoga retreats—multi-day getaways to recharge, reset, and reconnect. Their annual trip to North Carolina includes vegetarian meals, waterfall hikes, and intimate practice sessions in nature.
🎧 Listen to Episode 2: Amanda talks about daily life at the studio, yoga retreats, and how she once squeezed herself into a box (thanks to yoga!).
Why Vero Beach?
Amanda laughs when she recalls calling her hometown “Zero Beach” as a teenager. But after returning as an adult, she sees Vero differently. The beaches, small-town feel, and strong local support for small businesses make it the perfect place to raise her family and run a studio.
During COVID, the community’s support was especially clear. Students sent cards, purchased passes to keep the studio open, and even handed Amanda checks of encouragement. “It reminded me that we were doing something right,” she says.
🎧 Listen to Episode 3: Amanda shares why she chose to root her business in Vero Beach and what community means to her.
