Excellent yoga studio! Kind and knowledgeable instructors combined with a chill setting and dedication for increasing health and equity in Minneapolis and surrounding neighborhoods. If in doubt, check them out! read more

A group of people truly moving toward restorative practices; people of color in-need of access to the healing of bodily movement read thoroughly into their mission ;) read more

Let's say you wanted to buy happiness. But someone cut you a deal, emptied out your stressful insides, and gave you joy instead. You'd find yourself at One Yoga. I have been kinda-not-really-practicing yoga irregularly for about 10 years, ranging from CorePower classes to small sessions with various friends who were training to become instructors. I never enjoyed yoga much. Still, I come back to practice yoga here and there. Now that I have taken classes at a few studios all over socal and Mpls, I can say that One Yoga is the only one that embodies a five-star rating. At some point, I think I went to yoga sessions about 4x a week. I never felt healthier in my life. Many of the 16 instructors have been practicing yoga for 10-20 years. And it's hard not to find a few class types that fit your practice. Also, I noticed that all of the different yogis share a common philosophy that's hard to put into words. (Maybe *that* is part of its strength?) One subtlety I enjoy is their voices. They give instructions with mindful attention to pace, volume, strength, calm. (At other places, instructions tend to sound memorized and/or too energetic / demanding / timid / etc. And the music at other studios adds to one's flurry of thoughts, rather than help you notice them as they come and go.) With all that said, here are my favorite instructors, each with a different flavor of yoga: Angela I like going to her classes when I'm physically exhausted and/or I've been running a lot. Her pacing is gentle and I can usually work out many of the hidden tense spaces in my body because her type of class / adjustments / poses allow the time for it. Ben He has the slowest and calmest voice of my favorite yogis. I like how he starts out slow, increasing the pace gradually through the repetition of poses. The most helpful aspect of Ben's classes, for me, has been staying in certain poses for a long time -- that has increased my strength. (Rather than going through lots and lots of poses and losing my breath.) Jaina "Feel your body like an ice cube melting on a hot day, melting onto the ground." Jaina doesn't waste words. Her instructions and silences have heart. Jaina is my 2015 favorite -- I wish I had tried her classes when I first went to One Yoga in 2013! Matt He incorporates certain meditative / metaphysical questions during practice. As far as I know, Matt is the only one who does this, which paradoxically helps increase awareness of my body and its movements. I think Matt is one of the more intellectually intense instructors and it helps keep One Yoga well-rounded. Also, I had never been able to do a headstand; Matt let me struggle with this for a good two months before I was able to do a headstand. Along the way, he helped with slight adjustments to work my way towards the pose - and I thank him for pushing me a little when he recognized that I was ready for it, rather than not care and let me be halfhearted about my practice (i.e., merely going through the motions). He balances patience with concern for mastery. Shira Her voice is a song. Her classes involve a little chanting and she is very mindful of breathing through the hardest parts of poses. Rather than merely telling people to breathe, you can hear her breathe mindfully throughout the entire session. I like Shira's sun salutations the most. The three most helpful things in her classes are: 1) she does almost all of the poses with us, 2) she notices when there are newcomers and shows how to do a pose (which reinforces the correct posture for regular students), and 3) she gives 1-3 alternate poses so that it fits students at different levels. read more

Lovely, welcoming studio and great community. Highly recommend getting involved at One!

Beautiful space, welcoming community. They offer a variety of classes and workshops.

This is a beautiful studio with a meaningful mission. They also have a ton of classes to choose from with great packages and intro-offers. If you're on the fence about trying it out, don't be! I recently attended a sound bath and walked away not only feeling relaxed, but also hopeful and inspired. read more

One Yoga is my favorite yoga studio. Teachers know you by name, the space is beautiful, the class selection is great and I'm always feeling great when I leave the studio. I almost don't want to say just how much I love it because I want to keep it all that myself. This is not a trendy hot yoga studio and I feel there is a more body, mind, spirit approach here which I appreciate greatly. They also have special workshops and events and sliding scale pay or monthly unlimited passes. read more

I love practicing at this beautiful and peaceful space! The instructors and student community are so welcoming, and I always feel so relaxed and happy after class. They have a great variety of classes, and the instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and caring. And you really can't beat their Intro Offer: $30 for 30 Days of Unlimited Yoga. It's the best deal in town! Also, One Yoga is a non-profit studio that offers outreach classes in the community and a sliding fee program to make in-studio classes more financially accessible. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is interested in deepening their practice and supporting yoga for all! read more

I had been meaning to start yoga in earnest ever since getting back to MN (you know, three years ago...), and finally decided to take the plunge at One Yoga. They just acquired a new space behind the CC Club and I have to say, it's beautiful. Soft soothing colors, cork flooring downstairs/soft wood upstairs, plenty of mood lighting, and good changing space. They also have great art and comfy furniture to rest on if you're around for more than one class. I've so far tried: Vinyasa (with Margie), Yin (with Amanda), Restorative (with Margie as well), Basics (with Jessica), and I've had Ben as a sub for a couple of classes as well. Classes: Holy variety. There will be something for everyone here. Total beginners will be inspired by new styles they may not have heard of before, like Yin (5 minute supported poses to stretch connective tissues), Restorative (a relaxing nap-time for big people), Ashtanga (dying to give this a go), Yoga Nidra (quite literally nap-time), Sivananda (amazing), and also gentle yoga for rehab or people who need an ease-into-it approach. There are also meditation and chanting (mantra) classes. I haven't gone to any of these; I'm not sure I will, as I dunno if I'm that in need of some sattva. Teachers: Margie's just frickin cool. The woman is OM-incarnate, and she's super sweet and helpful. Jessica is very dedicated to helping you get your alignment just right and helping you establish your comfort zone. Amanda's Yin class is revolutionary; her calm soothing voice really helps you stand all 5 minutes of each occasionally excruciating asana hold. Though I haven't gone to one of his classes on purpose, Ben's a very mellow and sweet person. I'll admit to being a bit leery of dudes as hands-on teachers, but he's so gentle and full of metta that I just can't help but love him a little. I'll be going to his classes from now on. Cost/value stuff: They give new kids a free week, so try everything. I mean it. Go to whatever you can. It'll totally be worth it. After the free week, they have a reduced price for your first month pass, and then if you elect to auto-pay from then on, it's cheaper as well. I honestly think it's a great value. Unless you're totally sold on doing one specific style of yoga and only one, you can't find a better place. Atmosphere/other students: People are just really nice. There aren't those people I like to call yoga bitches (both males and females can be, FYI) and there really aren't the uber-athletes just there to show off either. Everyone's pretty calm and collected, and you probably will make a couple friends, or at least some smile-back peeps. Considering how crowded it can be on a weekend, you will have to shed some inhibitions of putting your ass in other people's faces, but hey. That's what yoga's about. Bringing your awareness inwards (so you really won't care!) Etc: Great mix of workshops. Nice series classes to get you familiar with styles, alignment, mediation, insight energy work (a little woohoo for me, but it's still kinda cool), and also some interesting stuff about the yoga of eating and other things. Hints: Get there early-ish if you can, especially on a weekend. They have pretty much everything you'll need to practice, so don't let lack of a mat keep you from going. Wear socks because you take your shoes off at the door, and this time of year it's pretty soggy by the shoe racks. Stick around through the whole of savasana (corpse pose); your body will thank you for the rest and you will feel nice and relaxed on your way home. read more

non-profit yoga studio doing good in the community...as good as it gets! One Yoga Studio is filled with much good. Well intentioned yoga instructors, a welcoming community, a calm and peaceful studio and an environment of practice that is suitable any level of yogi. A variety of classes are offered throughout the week, my favorites being Ben's Vinyasa on Wednesday evenings - he has a presence that will help you find your full prana - it's a a perfect mid-week soul cleanser. Sunday's late afternoon's restorative yoga will get the mind, body and soul back a natural rhythm. Easily signup for classes using their website or the MindBody Connect app on your smartphone. I suggest arriving at least 15-20 mins before classes begin to get setup and stretch. Many of One Yoga's classes use props which are super helpful, but require a few sessions to get comfortable if you haven't used before. Don't worry, instuctors help you throughout class and always offer variations for any skilled yogi. Parking is limited, especially during the day, so plan on street parking near by. Yoga mats are available to use. And there are bathrooms and changing rooms for all. The first week is free, drop in classes are $15 or buy a 10 pack for $130 (a great deal). Monthly memberships are also available - and all the money goes back to the the larger community. As part of One Yoga's non-profit practice, they delivers free yoga to hundreds of people in the community who are in crisis, pain or transformation and simply could never pay. read more

I love One Yoga! The space is calm & relaxing, the instructors are knowledgable & friendly, and the company mission of being intentionally inclusive is refreshing & much needed. The front desk is largely volunteer-run, and these cost savings allow them to increase outreach in the community. Apart from all this though, the classes truly are great. Great variety of yoga styles & teaching methods. When I first moved to MN, I checked out a number of studios, and I'm so happy to have found One Yoga. read more

Nice vibe, caring instructors and a beautiful yoga studio. Favorite instructors: Margie Weaver, Amy Patee and Jessica Rosenberg. I've taken Amy and Jessica's classes at other studios as well, and they are awesome. I've only been to this studio a few times, and it has all been positive. The only con would be the lack of parking. It can be a hassle, but then this is uptown... read more

I never done yoga before going here. They offer a free week to new clients. I loved that, because I never tried yoga and didn't know if I was going to like it. The teacher was very nice and helped me when I wasn't doing something correct. Very clean. The place is popular and fills fast. Be there early if possible. read more

One Yoga is the nicest studio of all time, AND it's nonprofit, AND it offers sliding-scale class pricing. It also has: free tea, hot and cold water, two BEAUTIFUL spaces (named the Earth and Sky studios), an amazing retail section, fantastic instructors, a wide variety of classes, and a very friendly and sweet atmosphere. They have a $20 one-week new-student trial, which I highly recommend; and I urge you not to miss Nicole's Kundalini class or Ben's Vinyasa/Restorative classes! These are some of the most powerful yoga sessions I have ever experienced. Don't wait! Go now! read more

I'm at my weekly volunteer shift at One Yoga studio (where I get 1 hour of work for 1 hour of yoga!) they also have really great yoga classes that I would recommend to anyone. the teachers are especially special and I always feel safe and comfortable in class. I know lots of people get insecure about their ability to do yoga but if you wanted to start your yoga life (again or for the first time), one yoga is the best place in Mpls to do that!! Something great I think that is not always talked about at One Yoga is the sliding fee. Where people can apply for a lowered rate for individual classes. Can go down to $5, $8, or $15 (originally $20). read more

This is hands down my favorite yoga studio. I recently relocated to San Francisco and, unfortunately, none of the studios I have tried in the city can compare to One Yoga (and believe me SFers are very serious about their yoga). I miss One Yoga terribly! First, the studios at One Yoga offer a calming and comfortable space to practice. Both the main floor earth studio and the upstairs sky studio are tranquil spaces with soft lighting. No mirrors, no loud music (although you may be treated to some soft, soothing sounds during a class, depending on the instructor). Before and after classes, students are welcome to relax in the lounge area and get to know the other students, as well as the instructors. The lounge doubles as a gallery for local artists and even offers complementary knitting needles and yarn so you can knit while waiting for class to start! Second, the instructors are awesome. Ben Vincent is an amazingly calming presence and a terrific teacher. He is the most zen person I have ever met, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Ben's wife, Angela, and Amy Patee are also great. One Yoga's teachers offer an extensive selection of classes seven days per week at a variety of different times, so there is something for everyone. Finally, the mission. One Yoga is a non-profit organization that promotes well-being through yoga with outreach efforts to communities that do not traditionally have access to yoga. The studio offers classes on a sliding price scale if you do not have the ability to pay full price, which I find incredibly generous and kind. One Yoga is a great studio for students of all levels. The prices are reasonable, and new students get their first week for free. You cannot go wrong with One Yoga. read more

One Yoga is one of the best yoga studios located in the heart of Minneapolis. The yoga center is very relaxing and has a calming energy. They have a cozy sitting area as you walk in with couches, filtered water, and hot tea. The common areas and hallways display rotating artwork by local artists. There are two studio spaces: first floor (Earth studio) and second floor (Sky studio). Props are available at no additional charge, including mats, blocks, bolsters, straps, blankets, etc. The instructors are very knowledgable and friendly. They provide continuous support as you grow in your yoga practice. Many instructors incorporate a great balance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components in their classes. The first week is free for new students. This is an amazing deal and this is a great way to try out different class styles and different instructors. Classes are offered on three levels: Level 1 for beginning students and/or low intensity, Level 2 for intermediate students and/or moderate intensity, Level 3 for advanced students. Class are commonly mixed level (i.e. Vinyasa 2-3), which is nice because it give you options to explore your practice. They offer a variety of classes as well: Vinyasa, Hatha, Astanga, Yin, Gentle, Chanting, and more. One Yoga is a small not for profit studio with a deep mission to bring yoga to underserved individuals. They offer a sliding scale to increase accessibility to yoga for those experiencing financial hardship. Depending on your income, class pricing can be anywhere from $5 to $15. read more

A much less commericialized alternative to Core Power - which seems (in my mind) to have taken over Minneapolis (and suburbs). The space is gorgeous and feels very organic. Lots of natural lighting and plants. The studio is a non-profit studio and you pay according to your ability. There is a guide to how much you should pay based on your income - this opens the studio to a lot of people who could not otherwise afford yoga. Prices are still kind of expensive - $12ish/ class for one of the lower income brackets. The instructors are calm and seem very experienced. They seem more into actual yoga than acrobatics and pushing your body to do very cool things. I actually like the kind of yoga that challenges you into gravity defying poses but some days I just want to chill. There is this one instructor whose name escapes me right now who has an absolutely beautiful voice and will sing to you. Its beautiful. One of my favourite instructors is Ben - he is awesome! Try to take one of his classes. I love that these classes are not heated like they are at Core Power. But, I do miss having music being part of the class. I guess classes without music help you become more attuned to your breathing and practice ... but I still miss it!!!! A beautiful yoga studio with a beautiful philosophy ... I really love that their aim is to bring yoga to everyone - regardless of income level. There are a few free parking spaces out front. May be hard to miss since the sign is kind of small but its right across from The Wedge. read more

I've taken 3-4 classes here. I enjoyed their Ashtanga and Vinyasa classes. The Yin yoga class almost put me to sleep because it was so slow, but it's great if you're looking for something gentle/restorative. The place has a friendly/welcoming atmosphere and smells like incense (always a good thing). I agree with other reviewers that One Yoga takes a more spiritual, artful approach to yoga versus Corepower. Also, its student classes are $10 (Corepower's are $13), yoga mats are free to use if you forgot yours (you have to shell over an extra two bucks at Corepower), and its classes are slightly longer, an hour and a half on average. However, the reason I haven't returned to One Yoga is that in almost every class I took, there were long periods of chanting. While I don't eschew all "spirituality" in yoga (I like setting dedications for my practice, think of yoga as a personal journey for me, and I'm all for "namaste"), the physical side of yoga attracts me more. And though I was raised Buddhist and consider myself open minded, I was kinda freaked by all the chanting, which I could only handle in small doses. Another reason I prefer Corepower is that One Yoga doesn't have hot yoga. read more

Prior to finding One Yoga, I went to a lot of yoga classes around the Twin Cities. I went to all the corporate chain places where classes are taught by college kids who run through the same routine in every class by rote. I went to other local places. Classes were either boring, or the instructors were not experienced enough to clearly convey the body movements required, or unable to offer modifications (which I need because I don't really bend that much). I was about to give up on yoga. Then I found One Yoga. I've been going to classes here for two or three years now. I've taken classes with most of the instructors, and have never been disappointed. Each has a different style and brings something unique and positive to the class. Although I think all the instructors are great, I've pretty much settled into a groove with Amy Patee's vinyasa 1-2 class. The class is never the same, so I never get bored. She always mixes it up, but she does an amazing job of communicating each movement with clarity and precision. She also seems to be skilled in sensing what the class needs, really picking up on the vibe of the people present in each class and customizing the class accordingly. She offers modifications and variations when appropriate, and is encouraging as people progress through them. A lot of the places that I went to before only focused on the physical aspects of yoga. It was just a workout. I actually thought that was what I wanted, but this class changed my mind on that. Time is occasionally spent looking inward, and I became conscious of how cluttered my mind was at times coming into class, and how that kind of needed to be addressed before moving forward. One Yoga is a super positive place and I can't recommend it enough. read more

One Yoga Studio is probably my favorite yoga studio that I've ever had the pleasure of studying at. The staff are warm, friendly and the studios themselves are very clean with excellent well maintained floors. There is an abundance of excellent props that are well cared for and very organized. I have found the teachers to be really excellent. They are kind, thoughtful and accommodating. It's amazing to be able to work with Ben and Serita. James always has challenging classes without being discouraging. One Yoga Studio has a great mission of making yoga accessible to people of all income levels. Their $30 for 30 days of unlimited yoga classes introductory offer is a great way to explore different styles and teachers. I have certainly gotten more than my money's worth with this incredible offer. read more

I can only speak about the ashtanga side of this studio, but it's great. Two different teachers, each with her own style of adjusting, but both are very good. They know the basics, but they also know the more advanced parts of the practice. They know when to step in and when to stand back, which is really important in a self-directed practice like ashtanga. I only visited for a week, but they were great at helping students go deeper into postures and work on taking their backbends to the next level -- a crucial step toward advancing in this practice. And oh yea --- Some days there are morning AND evening mysore classes. This is an incredible luxury. I was in town for work, and so busy that some mornings I couldn't get my ass out of bed for the 6 a.m. class. To be able to go in the evenings was such a saving grace. read more

One Yoga has been a great experience for me. The studio is a warm and welcoming space and the teachers that I've worked with have been friendly, helpful with guidance yet mindful about how to best work with me along the way. I'd consider myself more of a beginner and within the time I've been going there I've really felt myself improve in form along with discovering the more meditative side of Yoga. read more

One Yoga is a place you can go and find that everyone you meet there is happy to have you as part of the community. The staff are very respectful of your space and practice through adjustment cards. If you are a beginner or advanced, you will find a place here at the One Yoga studio. read more

This is the best yoga studio in Minneapolis. And not just because class fees are donation-based. The classes are relaxed and yet challenging. Whether you are a yogi or a lost individual in need of a good stretch, you can find your niche. Ommmmmm read more

Sacred is the feeling when you walk into One Yoga with the sweet smells of sage and beautiful atmosphere.. Sherri is well intune with your needs and is a very hands on instructor who speaks wisdom from her heart. If you want to grow then this is the place for you.. read more

Great studio! I was visiting town for a couple weeks and really wanted to find a studio that was focused on alignment rather than the faster paced Vinyasa classes that seem to be so popular. I really appreciated the teachers, the studio, and the whole vibe. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I've visited a few yoga studios in town but there is no where else I would prefer to be. This place is about yoga. No mirrors, no fashionistas, no pretentious poses. A good balance of mental and physical and the instructors are pretty great -- no matter who you get. read more

I have been practicing at One Yoga for 6+ months now and I absolutely love it. They have an awesome $30 for 30 days intro program, and their monthly rate is really affordable as well. They also have a sliding scale membership option for those that qualify. There are lots of great workshops and events happening here all the time as well. I love all of the teachers, and I love that the vibe is more inward centered and less competitive than places like Core Power. I highly recommend trying One Yoga Studio out! read more

One Yoga helped get me back into shape. You get a week of free yoga when you start which is really nice. The classes are never overcrowded like at Corepower and are a nice mix of relaxation and exercise. read more

Great yoga studio, my favorite class is core strength with Amy, great workout for the abs. I also enjoyed Ben as an instructor. I just finished my free first week intro and tried out a bunch of classes, this studio is really nice and I love that its a more spa atmosphere, after being at Core Power this is a breath of fresh air. read more

One Yoga is an amazing place of growth. Great for everybody where ever they are in their practice. Highly recommended!!

This is "my" yoga studio. I've never claimed a workout place as "mine" before - it's always been the gym that I go to or have a membership at. The teachers at One Yoga are all great and the classes are really balanced. There isn't a sense of competition or posturing here - everyone does their own series and the teachers guide you very appropriately. I highly recommend! read more

I have been attending One Yoga's Meditation class for over 6 months now and it has deeply impacted and improved my life. The instructors, Bob and Chip, have very different sensibilities but are both remarkable men and their styles complement each other. One of the things I appreciate most is their approach. They're not too "out there" nor do they push any religion. It is simply a spiritual practice that touches on psychology and behavioral ethics. There's nothing to be intimidated about, try it! read more

I stopped in this week for two hatha yoga classes since I was in town for work. The studio is really nice and clean. The staff are also nice and the class overall was good. It was bit on the beginner side for me but still a great work out! I felt great afterwards and I think the yoga really helped reduce body cramps from flying back and forth. read more

Beautiful studio, knowledgable teachers. I love that they are not-for-profit and do community programs to bring yoga to populations in need.

I no longer live in Minneapolis, BUT I came here for about a year when I did. I love the nonprofit nature of this studio and most of the teachers that I came across. The new location is lovely, as well. Great alternative to corporate and popular CorePower, and a great neighborhood business. read more

A place for calm, learning, non-judgement and healing. I've felt welcome and accepted since stopping in one day to inquire about classes and continuing with yoga. As a man, I wanted to make sure it was an environment where I was not totally a minority nor intruding on a safe space for women yogis. I've discovered that men are definitely welcome, the classes are mixed and almost everyone is affirming, respectful and focused on learning the art of yoga. I strongly recommend One Yoga for the beginner through advanced students. Jaina and Pablo have been the most challenging instructors to date and they will leave you feeling both drained and energized. However, all of the instructors I have had so far are positive, upbeat and highly qualified in their chosen specialty. If you're new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, this is a fantastic place to embrace your chakra. read more

Nice studio in a cool neighborhood. I was in town for work and was looking for a place to practice that offered various class options. This was the place! Staff are really friendly, and it's a nice clean space with two studios. Cafés and restaurants are within walking distance, including French Meadow Bakery. Uptown has become one of my favorite places to hang out in Minneapolis! One Yoga Studio was also recently voted Best Of in the Twin Cities- much deserved for this awesome non-profit group. Locals can try it for free for the first week. A must do! read more

Spacious rooms. Knowledge and experienced teachers (which makes a HUGE difference). They still keep fans and A/C on during vinyassa classes, which knocks off a star. But I will be back read more
