Yoga class and training... where can I deduct that in my business expenses?

You can only deduct these expense if they are "ordinary and necessary" expenses for your business.

Per the IRS: To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your trade or business. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your trade or business. An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary.

Assuming you are self employed, I would deduct the above in Other Miscellaneous Expenses..
