Studio 108 Yoga and Holistic Healing

Studio 108 Yoga and Holistic Healing opened in Westchase in September 2013 and has been run since by Missy White, a yoga teacher who has practiced since 1999 and describes the practice as something that changed the direction of her life. The studio sits on Rawhide Drive in Westchase, a planned residential community in northwest Hillsborough County built around a golf course and a network of lakes, which gives the studio a different feel than the more urban yoga studios found closer to downtown Tampa or Hyde Park. It draws a mostly local, repeat clientele from the surrounding neighborhoods rather than tourist or hotel traffic.

The class schedule covers a range of styles and intensities. Vinyasa Flow classes are offered at multiple levels, alongside Hot 108 and Hot Vinyasa, both heated formats for students who want a more physically demanding practice. A dedicated Saturday morning Beginner Yoga class gives newer students a lower-pressure entry point before moving into the regular schedule. Beyond standard classes, the studio runs a teacher training program for students interested in certification, along with workshops and even off-site retreats, including a yoga retreat in Belize that the studio has organized. Cold plunge and sauna sessions are also available for students looking to add recovery work to their routine, and the studio offers on-demand online classes for anyone who wants to practice at home between studio visits.

Because Studio 108 runs primarily on a rotating class schedule with multiple instructors rather than fixed storefront retail hours, the best way to plan a visit is to check the studio’s online class calendar directly, since specific class times shift with instructor availability and seasonal programming changes. Pre-registration for classes is optional, but the studio recommends arriving five to ten minutes early, which is standard practice for heated classes in particular so students have time to set up a mat and settle in before the room warms up.

Westchase itself is a quieter, more suburban part of Tampa compared to the urban core, with ample free parking around the studio’s building, which is a contrast to the metered or street parking situations found at studios closer to Hyde Park or downtown. The location makes it a natural fit for residents of Westchase, Citrus Park, and the surrounding Countryway area who want a full-service yoga studio without driving into the city center. Studio 108 maintains active Facebook and Instagram accounts where it posts class updates, workshop announcements, and photos from its teacher training cohorts and retreats, useful for anyone deciding whether the studio’s style and community fit what they are looking for before booking a first class. Because the business has been under the same ownership since it opened in 2013, it has had time to build a genuine sense of community around its regulars, something that shows up in the studio’s teacher training graduates who often return to teach classes themselves, and in the loyalty of students who have followed Missy White’s classes for years rather than rotating through different studios around town.
