Glow Yoga had been my go-to studio for the last year and I couldn't feel more lucky to have found this family. I have taken classes with many different instructors and always felt welcome and supported. I really enjoy the slower paced classes with time for meditation and shavasana. However, even in the more challenging classes, I've never been embarrassed to take things at my own pace. They've recently added some new offerings and I'm really excited to try some of those classes and watch this community to grow. Whether you're looking for a quick class to pop into when you have the time, or more of a long-term studio to feel comfortable returning to time and time again, Glow Yoga is definitely a special place! read more

Glow Yoga is a great studio in Eugene. I did the mindful mobility class on Sunday night and really liked it. It was chill and mostly floor sitting poses. I run a lot so it was great for my sore leg muscles. It was also my first time taking a class here and they do first class free which I thought was so nice! Looking forward to trying more vinyasa style classes here. Would recommend! Also the air conditioning was great on a hot day. read more

I absolutely love this studio! It is bright, airy and spacious enough that I've never felt too crowded while on my mat. The instructor is always very friendly and welcoming when I get there and parking is a breeze (at least in the early morning when I've gone). I have currently only attended the Mindful Mobility class and it will probably stay that way because this class is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't need (nor do I really want) to attend yoga classes that feel like full on workouts since I also lift weights/do cardio throughout the week. What I was looking for was something that would help me stretch because I am awful at doing that myself and this class is just that--you spend an hour on your mat going through different positions that help open up areas that get "most immobile from exercise, stress, and daily life". FYI: first class is free and then you can buy a 3 class pass for $39. read more

This is my fav yoga studio in town. Beautiful space. It has a calming energy. It's a good size studio, the class is big enough to feel spacey and the plants make a big difference. Also, they have a separate room where store yoga mats, dumbbells and some other equipments. Cube box sleeves on the wall for guests to put their personal belongings. Joyful and welcoming are the words I'd use do describe this gem of a place. A wide variety of classes from "chill" to "sweat ". The music was really upbeat and motivating too. Chelsea - instructor/ owner she was super sweet and knowledgeable. She had great energy, her session was different, she really added her own style to it. I love it :) read more

Glow Yoga is very clean and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The owner, Chelsea is nice and has lots of experience with yoga sense she works with all of the University of Oregon sports. Come and visit Glow Yoga you won't regret it. read more

Starting off by saying that I am not an experienced yoga-participant (there is probably a name for it that I don't know). I have been to this studio 3 times for c lasses now, and while the classes and instructors were all different, the actual studio is a bit of a disappointment. It's in a corner of a building, lots of glass and light, but also LOTS of outside noise. There was a yard man blowing leaves while the class was going and it was very hard to understand the instructions and to keep a peaceful mindset. The class was very busy and when we got to stretching our legs sideways, I ended up with my neighbors bare foot about 2 inches from my face. Not pleasant!! Maybe capping the class to less participants would be a good idea? I also noticed that none of the blocks,rolls, mats (props) that were used in the class was cleaned off afterwards and everybody just put them back in the storage area for next class to be used. That said, the classes itself were ok. read more

I was over my horrible habit of being so dormant on Saturdays. Having no motivation to get up out of bed or do any kind of physical activity. Then I thought I would give myself an obligation by signing up for an early morning yoga class. I saw that Glow Yoga was the only studio that had an 8AM class, so I tried the free class for first time users and was immediately hooked. I've been doing this routine of getting up early for yoga on Saturdays for the past 4 weeks and it has been so beneficial for me in many ways. The 8 AM Saturday morning class is Mindful Mobility with Sarah Bowden. It's more focused on holding deep stretches for longer periods of time then, say, a yoga class that follows a flow. This is a wonderful recovery class for me as I do workout with weights regularly during the week. Sarah is wonderful at leading the class, giving clear instructions, and suggesting alternatives for every pose. My only note is that it was a little difficult to hear Sarah on my first day. The acoustics in the room are not the best. (for me at least, I don't have the best hearing). But now I arrive a little earlier than the other students to score that primo front yoga mat placement, so the hearing issues have not been a problem. If you have a hard time hearing, like myself, it will be worth it to arrive about 10 minutes before class start. I would like to try the other types of classes that Glow Yoga has and maybe one day I will. But for now, 8 AM Saturday Mindful Mobility is the exact medicine I needed. read more

Glow Yoga is definitely a hidden gem in Eugene, Oregon. Chelsea, the owner, is always super accommodating, personable, and easy to work with. The classes provided range from intense HIIT like sculpt to mindful restoration. You can truly find what you're looking for here. The studio is always well kept, cute and clean which is always inviting as you walk in. Being a club associated with the University of Oregon, we always love working with Chelsea and the rest of the Glow Yoga crew to collaborate with for events. We just recently had an event with Chelsea that consisted of her leading one of the more high intensity classes, and all of our members are already planning on going back. We love Glow Yoga! read more

I've been to this studio half a dozen times or so over the past year when I relocated here. I am confident in recommending them because the teaching is consistently excellent. They have 45 minute noon classes that are perfect for the lunch hour and for reducing stress right in the middle of the work day. Lovely, clean studio too. read more

I'm so grateful for this studio! It was clean, light and relaxing. The temperature was comfortable and the best part was the teacher who was very kind. I have mobility issues so was nervous to take an in-person class and I never once felt uncomfortable. She even checked in with me after class to see how it was for me. This was my first class and I'll definitely be back! read more

Hard Core Yoga is far and away the best power yoga studio I've ever been to and I have been to quite a few over the years. One of the distinctions, which I love, is that many of their classes are weighted with dumbbells or kettlebells. They also incorporate plyometrics and other types of exercises I haven't seen in any power yoga class I've taken in the past. So you're really getting an added level of strength training that is otherwise hard to find in a yoga class. They have even reduced the price for virtual classes which given the struggle small businesses are under currently, that is so beyond kind of them. Today they offered a free new years class which they are allowing us to rewatch as many times as we want over the next week. I greatly appreciate the value this studio provides. I am moving back to California in February so even post-pandemic, please keep offering virtual classes!! The Saturday kettlebell class has been an awesome addition to my workout routine. read more

I'm not really into yoga... I try and I try and I try, but I just don't connect with it. I used to live in Seattle, where yoga studios are about as common as Starbucks shops. I tried many different places there, never really landing on a spot I loved, or even really liked. Now in Eugene, I heard of Hard Core Yoga from a friend, and seeing a sweet deal on Groupon for it, decided to give it a go! The studio is small with only one class running at one time, and the schedule isn't as full as I would like it to be for the times I would be available to check out a class. I work early hours (abnormally early to most) and so for the early times I am already at work and the later evening times are too late for me to be out doing active things. I turn into a pumpkin around 8pm. What I do really like about Hard Core, in particular, is that they offer some more cardio/weight-based classes than just regular flow classes--such as a kettle bell class (my fave so far!) and a yoga HIIT class. And, overall, the feeling at Hard Core Yoga is genuinely nice and welcoming without that pretentious yoga feel that I've experienced at some other studios. read more

Placed in a beautiful and completely zen studio - and led by the owner and teacher Chelsea (who is GI Jane meets the Dalai Lama meets Elle Macpherson) - the class I went to was the ideal hybrid of relaxing and ass whooping. Everybody in the class seemed to be regulars and knew exactly what they were doing, but Chelsea offered modifications along the way (which yes, I needed). Though I'm just a beginner, I'm cocky - and I appreciate this class for showing me what I have to look forward to. My abs were insanely next-day-sore, and if I weren't just visiting from out of town, I'd most definitely snatch up whatever unlimited packages HCY had to offer. Huge fan, will be back next time I'm in town. read more

I took a couple of free classes with Chelsea at various events, and was hooked! When I started looking at places to increase my yoga practice alongside the other exercise I do, I knew I wanted to go to Hardcore Yoga. With the first week free, I was able to try a variety of classes- from release & restore, to kettlebell yoga, to sunrise yoga. I have enjoyed every instructor, and gotten something different from every class I have taken (kettlebell yoga is no joke!). While I am mostly looking to increase strength and flexibility (and take care of my muscles from running and Orange Theory), I really enjoyed the variety in what is offered. I am excited to continue to join in the community here! read more

Nothing but love for this place. It has become one of my special places because practicing there has encouraged me to quiet the noise and be 100 percent present. The instructors are AMAZING PEOPLE!! read more

This place rocks my abs! Or at least it would if I attended classes more frequently. The routine is always the same. 15 minutes in, I feel feminine, strong and alive. I am invincible, and I stretch into downward facing dog like a boss goddess. Around the 30 minute mark, I know I'm going to die. I can feel it in my quivering, firing body. At 45 I'm too tired to care about dying or living- I just hope the practice will be over soon. And then I'm lying in shavasana, and my heart is slowing down and my mind is at peace and the adrenaline rush curves into a slow smile on my sweaty, beet-red face. Sometimes, I may or may not fall asleep in shavasana (shhh). In any case, it's the perfect workout- calming, reinvigorating and tiring all at once! read more

Hard Core Yoga is my favorite studio in Eugene! The vibes in the studio are AMAZING. From the instructors, to the music, to the people, to the different practices they offer. There is a class for everyone! This studio has transformed my body & mind. Every visit brings me more growth and appreciation for myself and others. Don't miss the opportunity to feel the special energy this studio brings. read more

I went to Hard Core Yoga, a few times during their opening week, (mainly because it was free and I was broke), but it was seriously awesome! It was so relaxing and physical! It makes you sweat and gets your heart going! The owner is also sweet and does not pressure you to do more than you can. I would go back! read more

When I signed up for my first class 5 years ago I have never done any sort of physical exercise on a regular basis. Now, I plan things in my busy life to make sure I can find time to practice several times a week at HCY. It has helped me find physical and metal strength. And not just though amazing instructors but just as much through the caring and supportive community Chelsea has created. Whether I am looking for a challenging work out that will raise my energy or a peaceful flow that will clam my mind there is always the perfect option at HCY read more

I can't say enough good things about Hard Core Yoga. I was completely new to yoga when I walked through the door 8 years ago and I was instantly hooked. It is now part of my daily routine. The variety of class offerings, the class schedules, and the incredible group of instructors literally make this a place for everyone from the novice to the experienced student, people of all ages and gender, those whose bodies are at peak performance and those recovering from injury or incorporating new fitness goals. More than anything, I very much appreciate the sense of community that has evolved at HCY over the years. Students and instructors have become some of my dearest friends. read more

Hard Core Yoga is wonderful! Hands down the greatest yoga studio in Eugene. My favorite instructors are Megan and Arielle who offer the perfect mix of a peaceful yet ass-kicking class. The studio here is gorgeous and there's a great friendly and inspiring community that pushes you to keep coming back to your mat. I hate to not give 5 stars but i wish wish wish the instructors here would do adjustments! I'm beyond confident that I'm getting a great workout but would love a little more guidance to deepen my yoga practice. Nevertheless- amazing! read more

I wasn't expecting anything life changing, just looking for a yoga class on my lunch break. 2.5 years later, I am there most days of the week and have completely transformed my body and mind. I've been to almost every yoga studio in the area, and this one is tops. Really good class times, a wide variety of classes (so much that I dropped my gym membership), and you hear it all the time, but it is so true, the best owner and teachers in the world (I have tried them all and all are very welcoming and encouraging). read more

I went to "Yoga for Athletes" last Sunday and was really impressed. I'm excited to check out Chelsea's Hard Core Yoga class. Yoga for Athletes was the perfect amount of hip opening, challenging poses and relaxation. I also loved the studio space - very calming, clean and relaxing. Feels like you're in another city. I bought the 3 classes for $30 pass. Otherwise, drop in is $15 a class. read more

Hard Core is the first yoga studio I've tried in Eugene and to be honest I like it a lot, but don't love it. Class times are overall convenient, the space is perfect for yoga, and I love that all mats and props are there in case you run or bike to class. The owner and all instructors are kind and most certainly good at their jobs. And I like that there is some Variety to classes including a total body kettle bell class. The downsides of this studio is that while each core yoga class is different they are also very similar with a lot of the same asanas and flows. By no means are classes predictable but they are not exciting. However, I do dig some of the ghetto rap sometimes playing. It's a fun way to mix it up. One thing I don't like about the studio is the chatter in the room before classes. I'm all for a strong yoga community and respect the friendships that it is very obvious a few of the regulars have made. However it might be better for yoga practice to keep the very typical girl friend like conversations and gossip outside of the yoga space. Overall I'll keep taking a class here and there at Hard Core Yoga when my Groupon package is out, but I severely miss my old studio full of hot vinyasa heart pounding and heated slow burn classes from my previous home and will be looking further in Eugene to find a studio that fills this void. read more

I had moved from Northern CA from a yoga studio which specialized in Baron Baptiste method yoga (read: hot, sweaty, cardio style workouts!). I was desperate to find a studio that didn't have me falling asleep mid-warrior pose. Personally, I want to feel the burn after doing a series of poses, and that is just how I left after attending 2 classes over 2 days at Hard Core Yoga. There are two classes they offer: Yoga for Athletes which is about a 6 on the 1-10 Work-It scale (1 being narcolepsy-inducing and 10 being "Holy %^&$ I. Need. A. Water. Break!"), my old yoga studio in CA was a 9 intensity level, just to compare. The Athletes class has some heart-pumping moments, but they are fleeting, and the best part of the class is the S-T-R-E-T-C-H! Wonderful for those, say, who are....athletes. Also, great warm-up class to their signature "Hard Core" session. This class was a solid 8-8.5 on my scale- I loved it!! The studio was nice and warm (did I mention BEAUTIFUL? Bamboo flooring and a few candles were lit, very serene!) and the poses were held but then changed rather quickly, so it was what I was looking for. One of the instructors had even studied the Baptiste Method! I left wanting more, but confident that I could eat a brownie after class and not even bat an eye. Chelsea and Mary are incredibly nice (there are other ladies, I just haven't met them yet) and very supportive of whatever your practice level may be. You feel welcome and ready to go when you walk in the door. The 3-day pass for $30 is what sold me! Fun, laid back atmosphere, but you still get to sweatin'! Can't wait to go tonight!! Check it out! PS: Guys, there were about 4 of you in my last class, so don't think it's ladies-only! Check this place out! read more

Been coming to Hard Core Yoga for about 6 months now, it's definitely my little haven after a stressful day at work. My 2 favorite instructors are Megan and Ariel, they're both warm and inviting. They made an effort to remember my name and always greet me when I'm there. Why the 4 stars? Well, in past yoga studios I'd been, instructors would come around and do some hands on assist and correct your post if you're having trouble with the poses; or they would assist you in achieving a deeper stretch. For the most hard, Hard Core Yoga doesn't do that and I wish they do. But I would still recommend them nonetheless if you're looking for a good combination of workout and relaxation. read more

Love this studio! Chelsea is inspiring and the workout is amazing. My body has been transformed.

I tried a few places around town and this studio is by far the best! All the instructors are amazing (Chelsea, Megan, Arielle) take your pick. It's a perfect balance of physical exercise, stretching and peacefulness. Not for the light of heart however, you get your work in so bring a towel and water. It's a little expensive which concerned me initially but now that I'm addicted I feel it's the best money spent each month. I've done yoga before but this is the first place that's changed my life ;) read more

I came to Hard Core Yoga a couple of times. Nice looking studio, though pretty crowded on the weekends. You'll get a great workout, but you'll definitely shell out $$$ for it. Don't share your email if you don't want constant reminders about the place and if you ever email them with a question, don't expect to get a response back. read more

I got a groupon for this studio and while it is across town from where I live, I enjoy making the trek when I want my yoga booty kicked. I really love Megan's classes, my schedule seems to open up only when she is teaching and I learn something every time! I am always challenged and always sore. My only complaint is the studio setup, its awkward that the door opens right into the practice space. It seems like 1-3 people are always late coming to class and its distracting. I've gone just a handful of times but I don't really feel that yoga community camaraderie that I have experienced at other studios. Doesn't matter too much though, the workout is great and I always feel amazing after class! read more

I've been going to this studio for just over a year, and it has literally changed my life. I had never tried yoga before and the instructors are so great at talking you through the little micro changes to make in order to come into the correct version of the positions. They also offer options to modify poses to take easier or more difficult versions based on how much you want to push yourself. I have incorporated 4-5 days of their Hard Core classes into my week and can now come into many different arm balances, splits, headstand, and I've nearly got handstand down. Obviously, you'll only get as much out of it as you're willing to put in, but all of the instructors are happy to help you learn things you want to work on. Level 1 is great for beginners and more advanced students who want a slightly slower and simpler practice, though it is still pretty fast paced. Level 2 is faster and they start incorporating some more advanced poses such as crow, and they will give the option to take easier or more advanced variations. Level 3 is similar to Level 2, but they pick a few advanced poses to work toward and they gear the practice toward opening you up enough in the right ways to be able to get into the advanced variations. Power Flow is like a really fast paced level 2 and it's pretty intense. Yoga For Athletes spends more time holding stretches and they will gladly take requests for areas you want to release. It's a good idea to sign up online for the classes you want to make sure your spot is reserved. The teachers are great at reminding you to listen to your body and to not push yourself too far. This studio is unique in that the teachers actually do the classes with you. Also, there is plenty of free parking around the studio. There are also a handful of guys in each class, so it's not just for women. The studio is beautiful. There is a bathroom, areas to change, and cubbies to put your belongings; however, there are no showers. These classes will kick your butt in a great way, and I always leave feeling sweaty, strong, and relaxed. read more
