How should I tag yoga studios? There are several businesses whose primary purpose is holding yoga classes near where I live.

I checked the wiki which cites taginfo and sport=yoga. As i understand, sport=* is primarily used with leisure=pitch ; so should I also add the leisure=pitch tag?

On the ones near me I went with sport=yoga and ignored the JOSM warning that I hadn't marked a pitch.

I would use some leisure tag too (in case you didn't) – maybe leisure=sports_centre. Otherwise there is nothing physical mapped where this sport (yoga) is done in.

In my case the tag is on a building and the building has address tags (along with the name of the establishment, phone and website). So there is something physically mapped at this area.

I've had difficulty tagging yoga venues too. To my mind, yoga isn't as much a sport as a training discipline. You might decide on amenity=training and training=yoga. Taginfo shows about equal usage for both sport=yoga and training=yoga but it's an open topic as far as I'm concerned. Using the training tags has the advantage of avoiding the need for a leisure pitch tag.

Along with sport=yoga, consider using leisure=fitness_centre. This is more or less the consensus tag that's developed for a smaller size gym/workout/fitness place. Most of the yoga places I've seen seem to emphasize the fitness part of it over anything but the most surface-level spirituality.

For what it's worth, this ("leisure=fitness_centre" combined with "sport=yoga") seems to be the magic combination for the iD editor to label a feature "Yoga Studio" in the in-browser editor, complete with an exercising-guy icon. Clicking the "I" for info gives the description "yoga as exercise" and a corresponding photo.
