I've been going to EY for a few years now, but took the last year off because I was enrolled in yoga classes at my college. Additionally, friends would take me along to other studios and I tried every free lesson I could find. None of them were up to the caliber of teaching and relaxation that EY offers. The atmosphere is calm, friendly and relaxing. Each downtown lesson I go to feels like a spa treatment. Tea is available, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the studio rooms are lit by dimmable lights, twinkle lights and e-candles. Some teachers offer candlelit classes, aromatherapy (via essential oils, incense, or sage) or both. Because I have the unlimited pass, I attend classes 7 or more times per week, and feel refreshed and rejuvenated each time. Another review mentioned the slow classes as a reason for a poor review. If you're looking for high-intensity classes, Jennifer offers a level 3 Hatha class on weekends, and several level 2 classes are available throughout the week, as well as series for yogis who feel they cannot get a workout in with slow work. The hard work of yoga is done in the slowness and the stillness within the pose, which makes most classes appropriate for a wide audience. Classes offered at two locations at a wide variety of times, responsive staff who have included whole extra classes just because I or a few students requested more instruction on something, solid instructors with a lot of knowledge who are happy to get to know your needs personally, and an indulgent environment make this studio well worth trying! read more

I'm relatively new to the the world of yoga, so I don't speak from a lot of experience, but Eugene Yoga Downtown is WONderful! I started classes in the fall with Laura and have continued with her and now with Jennifer as well.. These are bright, lovely women, each of whose breadth of knowledge about yoga and capacity to teach it is superb! They are models-in-motion of what yoga consciousness must surely be, in their calm, positive, exquisitely grounded, non-judgmental demeanors. I can't say enough good things about them or their classes! Additionally, many of my fellow yoga students have highly recommended other instructors at this center -- so many high quality instructors to experience here! My own background is in fitness, but I admit to having spent most of my life participating in high intensity aerobic workouts, with weight training and meditation to balance. Now, finally adding yoga to my menu of regular practices, I can't believe I waited until my mid-sixties to DO so! I highly recommend that anyone of any level of fitness take yoga classes and more specifically at the beautiful downtown building that houses Eugene Yoga. This place is a class act in every respect. read more

I had been going to yoga classes at South Eugene Yoga for over six years, but living in North Eugene, its always been a time issue getting across town. I was so happy when I heard that they were going to open a downtown location, which cut my travel time and distance by half. At first I was concerned with parking, but its really not a big deal. Weekends I can park for free in the bank parking lot, and between overhead parking and meter, I can always find a spot. The facility is perfect. Both rooms lend themselves to a peaceful, gentle place to practice. The front end receptionists are always courteous and friendly. But as with any yoga studio it is all about the class schedule and the teachers. I love going online each Sunday, to decide which classes will suit both my own schedule and personal needs. Every single teacher I have been able to learn from, brings her own unique, special talents. I can't say enough about these wonderful women. Knowledgeable and loving, they truly represents the yoga spirit. I am truly grateful to Diane ( the owner ) and all her staff for creating this incredible place! read more

This was the first yoga studio I attended after a long hiatus from yoga. I felt lost and disconnected from the world and felt anxious about entering a new community after being so deeply invested in my last one. The first class I ever went to was with Arielle, who led an eye opening and inspiring flow centered on becoming comfortable within your own space, allowing the judgement and expectation fall away from the practice. Still hesitant about trusting a regular practice again, I began to feel my fears start to dissipate. Over the last year, I have been welcomed warmly into this community with the ability to return to my practice at my own pace. In addition to Arielle, I have never had an instructor at Eugene Yoga who was not open-hearted and compassionate about their students. The studio holds fun workshops like Yoga in the Vineyard and offers $6 Community classes and scholarships so as to never have to turn anyone away. This studio has blessed me. read more

I Love the Eugene Yoga Downtown Studio! It's not only visually very beautiful - the instructors and staff are amazing. I was worried about parking being an issue - however I have never had any trouble with it. There is a variety of classes available for students at any level and for any interest. There are also so many workshops with specific intentions - I find them all so interesting - and wish I had more time to fit in all the things they have to offer. I have found that all of the instructors I've had are very good at what they do and I always feel so relaxed, centered and calm, as well as well worked out after each class. Mostly I love the Hearts and the Light of Eugene Yoga and am looking forward to continuing my practice there for many years to come! Infinite Love and Gratitude to Eugene Yoga - You've done a Great Job with your Expansion into the Eugene Yoga Downtown center. I can't wait to try Zumba next! read more

I live in California, but I've been coming to Eugene Yoga (both Downtown and South) when I visit family here several times a year. I love this studio! Both locations are lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The class schedule is really good, with multiple options every day. I'm impressed that all the classes I've been to have been well attended, so there's an enthusiastic community here. But none of them have felt packed or crowded, which I appreciate. I have some favorite instructors (Laura Black, Jennifer Jamison, Jean Nelson) who I've had multiple times. But I've also been to random classes with a variety of other instructors, and every one of them has been experienced, helpful and effective. It feels like a healthy community of awareness based practice. read more

I've been taking classes at Eugene yoga for three years, and the downtown studio is a wonderful new addition to the business. Wide range of classes and skilled instructors to fit into my schedule. Very clean, bright, peaceful setting with numerous props available (blocks, bolsters, blankets, eye pillows, etc.) to make the classes even more of a retreat. I appreciate how the owners retained some of the lovely brick interior yet modernized the space. I highly recommend this studio and their south location for the widest range of yoga and meditation classes, workshops, and series. Though the location is lovely, it is the instructors at Eugene yoga that make the studio even more special! read more

What really makes Eugene Yoga stand out from other studios is the quality of their instructors. The instructors are experienced, talented, genuine and caring people. I love that the environment is warm, welcoming and noncompetitive. The instructors meet students where they are at and always provide accommodations for different levels and injuries. In addition, the studio has a great new student deal- only $44 for the first 4 weeks of unlimited yoga. read more

I love taking yoga classes at Eugene Yoga's downtown studio! As a yoga addict, who practiced for more than a dozen years in Berkeley and all over the U.S., I believe the teachers at this studio are wonderful. I come out of the classes there feeling grounded, peaceful and whole - this is why I practice yoga. Kudos to Shanti, Jennifer, Arielle, Jean, Laura and Colin for their outstanding teaching. read more

Eugene Yoga is my favorite studio in town. They offer classes of all levels and the instructors really make you feel comfortable and accepted. Plus they even offer $6 yoga classes throughout the week! Such a beautiful place and community. read more

I just had my first class here and I loved it. The instructor was very skilled and she helped me get the most out of my poses, I will be returning for sure! read more

The prices are ridiculous, the parking sucks, and the staff are unfriendly. Would not recommend!

Wonderful mix of knowledgeable and friendly instructors in a feel good facility. Check it out.
