YoYoYogi Yoga Studio — Local services in Portland

As a visitor to Portland for a short work trip, I discovered Yoyoyogi and they truly became my "home studio away from home". 10/10 would recommend and will visit again if ever in the area!

They offer what I would consider a "traditional" yoga practice, which is mindful, reflective, and profound, without being religious or americanized. The setting is a large, open and airy studio, with wood floors and exposed brick providing a peaceful atmosphere. They offer a variety of classes, so it was easy to find sessions to fit my schedule, and I went every day (6) during my stay. I had a different instructor each time, and all were professional, insightful and constructive. The classes were also differentiated to accomodate varying levels of skill and experience, so that no one is left out or feels intimidated. One session I attended was a 2-hour special class from Alex Cole that was nothing short of TRANSFORMATIVE.

Other nice, thoughtful features that many studios don't offer is changing areas as well as showers in case you want to rinse off after a sweaty heated session, and complimentary water and tea. Another thing that I appreciated is that they offer a visitors package which is extremely reasonable for anyone expecting to take more than two classes, featuring unlimited classes with mat and towel rental included (as I did not travel with my gear).

Overall I had a wonderful experience and felt so welcomed by the Yoyoyogi community. Anyone looking for a traditional yoga experience, which is as thought provoking as it fitness enhancing should...

When I first moved to Portland, I spent several months scoping out yoga studios. Once I found YoYoYogi, I knew I was home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, inspiring, and genuine. The vibe is local and familial. The staff/teachers hold a space that cultivates community and inspires joy, making it the place you crave, even on (if not especially on), those really challenging days. I love the variety of teaching styles offered. There is a hot room with super fun power classes for 50 or 60 minutes where you can sweat it all out. The unheated room hosts classes including introductory classes, power flow, fun fitness, yin and restorative. It is great because you can try several styles of yoga, all within one building. Regardless of the class I take, I always leave feeling lighter and entirely grateful for the community and the opportunity to practice the style of yoga my body needs.

YoYo offers a New Student Special for $38 for 12 classes in 30 days; whichever comes first. They also have drop ins for $16, community classes for $10, and Happy Hour classes (offered Mon-Fri) for $12. Punch card Packages and monthly memberships are also available. Additionally, there are frequently fun workshops or special events to check out.

To sum up, I found a home and a family at YoYo. Would highly recommend...

YoYoYogi is the best studio I’ve been to across the country and have been going since the day I discovered them (generous free trials to check them out!) and will continue to do so as long as I’m in Portland.

They have an impressive range of vinyasa and movement classes that range from Pilates -fusion and high intensity, to Hot Flow, to Sanctuary, with a soulful connection and slow, intentional movement. Each teacher lends their own style, wisdom, and education with genuine philosophical practices to match movement. The community is warm, welcoming; the owner, Angela, has been overwhelmingly kind about accommodating pauses while traveling, ensuring she gets to know each person, and going above and beyond to run this incredible studio.

Kyra is not only one of the most wonderful yoga instructors I’ve ever had, but person I’ve met in Portland. She’s generous, inclusive, diverse, and always fun. Chera’s wisdom, Amy’s powerful, contagious energy, and so many others have made this a rare and truly amazing place that I look forward to visiting.

Don’t even questioning coming here- you’ll...
