This is an awesome donation-based yoga studio. You can feel the good energy as soon as you walk in. So far I have taken classes with Rey, Chris, Andrea, Sam, and a couple other instructors whose names are eluding me right now, and they were all great. Align classes with Rey are especially good for beginners because they explain each pose in detail, and I live for the singing bowls he plays during shavasana. Shawn's mindfulness class involved fairly minimal amount of movement, but it was one of the most profoundly relaxing experiences I have had in a while. If you're still taking xanax, try his class instead. Also I have found that the other practitioners here are particularly warm & friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Loving this spot!! This is my favorite space that I've ever practiced in. It's a nice mix of urban chic and rustic, lit with chandeliers. It's large enough for three long rows of mats. Donate before class in a cool donation box, or via credit card. Suggested donation is $10-$15. I only had $5, and they didn't make me feel bad about this at all. (I saw Black Swan turn away a girl who couldn't pay the full suggested donation. Heartbreaking.) KK is amazing. She focuses on spiritual alignment through body alignment. I feel like most places I've practiced in Austin focus so intensely on yoga as a body exercise that the inner focus is lost. KK had me at "quit doing stupid shit that dulls your luminosity!" I left feeling super revitalized. I can't wait to get back :) read more

Practice is probably one of the best donation-based studios in the Austin area! Every time I come for a class, I am always greeted by either the teacher or someone working the front. It is nice to see a smiling face if I had a long day with school and/or work :)! SPACE Even though the exterior of the building is a very energetic, vibrant blue, the atmosphere in the studio is very calming with the warm, ambient lighting. This is important to me because the space does contribute to how focused my practice will be, and my body and mind tend to like spaces where they can feel calm and energetic at the same time. TEACHERS The teachers are pretty freakin' amazing! I have learned so much from the teachers here! They all have extraordinary knowledge in the study of yoga as well as strong physical practice. The teachers bring positive energy to class, which helps on those day that you are in the pits. They also are very considerate to all of their students; The students with injury are given modifications to get the same benefit of the pose as if it were the actual pose. I have had nothing but great experiences in these classes. Stacie and Reiko are great teachers I highly recommend taking. They are both very nice, passionate, considerate, and knowledgeable teachers. You will DEFINITELY get something from every class :)! I have yet to take a class with every single teacher, but I plan on doing it really soon! Haha. SCHEDULE Very flexible. It works with any kind of schedule, really. LOCATION I LOVE the location! It is next to a few cool food trucks, happenin' bars, and just positive liveliness. The parking IS great too! I have not had ANY trouble with this! (This is very important to me! City parking is usually a drag,but not this place!). All in all, it is a great studio to practice in!! : D it is totally worth going! I know I will be there every week, haha! read more

Too many people per class in my opinion. Instructor was very helpful though. Didn't feel like I was working hard enough though.

I'm always looking for a great space for my Ashtanga practice and Clayton's Mysore class is amazing! There are few teachers out there with as much knowledge and experience as him. I completely trust his guidance and adjustments. Remember, Mysore is for beginners as well! It's a perfect place for learning. The practice will be customized for each person in the room to match their level and limitations. This is almost like having a private class in a room full of people. Practice yoga is super cool inside as well. Distressed wood floors and ceiling with chandeliers. There is such a peaceful feeling in this place! It's donation based too! What are you waiting for! Go visit ASAP read more

This place is awesome! If you are a yogi and in Austin and haven't been, then you have to check it out. A few months ago I started visiting Practice and very quickly it became a daily obsession. To put it in perspective, I'm a large athletic male whose body has not "practiced yoga" by choice much other than grabbing a remote control from under the couch a few times in my life. For someone like me to get this kind of obsession, it is the result of some incredible teachers providing alot of patience and attention to help someone with little to no experience feel welcome in this type of environment. So as you can imagine, the instructors are top notch. And it isn't just one or two of them, it's across the board. I could give shoutouts to nearly a dozen of them but it'd be missing the point of the community that Practice creates. All the instructors are beyond proficient at understanding both the energy and proficiency of the group and each individual -- which to me is the gauge of a great teacher. Not only are tips for adjustments given, verbally and physically when possible, but also a ton of options for all levels so that the beginner to the most experienced can get the most out of the class. (I understand if someone might question my ability to make these judgments but I've been to over a 100 classes now at a handful of places across ATX, and there is no question the quality of the teachers in these classes.) There's so much more to PYA though. The space is both inviting and serene. Big mirror in the front to keep an eye on yourself, if that's your thing. And now a badass mural on the wall in the back that evokes all of the energy that the space seeks. The ceiling which I find myself staring at frequently is old wooden boards that look like they should be a floor in an old Victorian home with some cool chandeliers around as well. And for an easy donation of 10bucks or 5bucks or 20bucks if that's what you got today, you can't beat the price. PYA is a great part of the ATX yoga community and I'm very thankful for what it provides me. Definitely check it out no matter what level you're at if you can make it by! read more

Practice represents exactly what I love about yoga and small businesses. Just people coming together, doing what they love, and supporting one another. Classes are diverse and challenging, but still accessible to new yogis. Great sense of community and the space itself is beautiful, especially their wonderful mural. Rey and co are the bee's knees, y'all. I seriously can't give this place enough stars. read more

Pay before class. Something about counting something or other....the guy at the counter thought I was interested in the ins and outs of their business when my friend asked if she should pay before or after. I like paying, I mean 'donating', a little extra if I liked the class. Class was good. True to 'all levels'. I liked the wood ceilings with the chandeliers. Ceilings are a big part of yoga class. Parking was easy. Grab a drink afterwards....cocktails or kombucha right across the street. read more

If you are looking for yoga similar to a stretch and aerobics/exercise class then take the "Alignment" class with Stacie. This was a great workout because it was fast-paced and challenging. Stacie also is very positive and will give you one-on-one attention if you need it. If you're looking for mindful/meditative yoga then consider another class. Overall, I enjoyed this yoga studio because it had very upbeat energy and enthusiastic people. read more

Thank you for such a warm welcome and practice. So nice being in from out of town and first time here.

Practice is a beautiful new yoga space on Austin's East 6th strip. The studio is beautiful with reclaimed wood ceilings and accents and gorgeous chandeliers. It feels magical to practice in this room! The roster of teachers is quite impressive too - there are several local top-hitter yoga instructors such as Gioconda Parker, G'Nell Price and Kiely Rutledge on the schedule. A quick note - Kiely's class has been the first to ever make backbends not only accessible, but enjoyable for me. We did a crazy partner practice with straps to deepen our cobra poses and it was amazing! Classes are affordable as the donation structure starts at $9, however, if you can make sure you donate more - it's worth it! Large changing room up front, plenty of storage space for shoes/purses/jackets/etc. read more

went to my first class last night at 9 with Ryan. He was ... AMAZING!!! so kind & great energy really makes u feel comfortable & gives great modifications for everyone that needs one. i really recommend Ryan's group! read more

Addendum: really good instruction, but the sardine pack of these classes is unpleasant and allows for little to no personal corrections from instructors, which I hate. Also I left my beloved fancy water bottle behind (I've had it for 5 years, kind of attached) and tried to get it back for a week... But the door is locked between classes and the one time I made it after the last class dude acted like he didn't see me at the door. A week later... Someone stole my bottle. Sorry, buds. I'll pay what I donate and go to a studio where Shanti teaches and someone's foot isn't touching my face 2 million times per class: wanderlust. read more

Are you new to the area? New to yoga? Visiting Austin? Or even curious about a new yoga studio then this is the place to check out. Practice Yoga is by far one of the best, if not the best, places to do yoga in Austin. I've been to a few different studios in town and I absolutely love this studio. All of the instructors here are amazing. Practice has such a great community, great energy, and great location. I also love their hours of operation. If you're more of a night owl then a early bird like I am then you too will appreciate how late they stay open. Get your namaste on all day everyday hope to see ya on the mat read more

Practice Yoga Austin - Yoga Near Me - Austin, Texas

Just had a wonderful Mo-Town Sunday class with Lauren! This studio is beautiful and the teacher was knowledgeable and fun. It was a very relaxing way to start my Sunday. The studio is donation based, which makes it accessible to more yogis! Highly recommend read more

Practice Yoga is a great place to get your yoga on. The instructors are down to earth and approachable, and the interior design is inviting. I particularly like Shawn's mindfulness class and Laura's Motown class. I highly recommend Practice Yoga to align your body, breathing, and mind in the company of a great community. read more

I've been to classes with most of the teachers at this point, and they're all amazing! I really love Sam's classes. She's a genius when it comes to sequencing. Her classes are challenging and well-paced but always with the option to take things more slowly if needed. I recommend the studio to everyone I know! read more

Great atmosphere .... Work to make you feel part of the group even if you don't flex the right way ....

Beautiful, large yoga studio with a lot of late weekday classes, which is rare, and a huge plus for me. Donation-based so you pay what you can. Parking can be a bit of a pain since it's on E 6th. Sometimes it gets a little crowded, hot and humid due to its popularity - especially the Vinyasa classes. read more

Our group came in from out of town and I found this place on Yelp. The 5 stars they got was truly deserved! It's a donation studio so you pay what you want based on the suggested donation of $15-$20 per person. The Vinyasa class Led by Laura was exactly what we all needed. We all felt great and energized after the class. Looking forward to come back again before we leave this week. read more

I like this place. It's unique and I've never visited a "donation based" studio before. That took a little pressure off. Jen, the instructor was great! She asked all the right questions. Any injuries, any requests, and it was a great session. She even gave me pointers and assistance on a couple poses. read more

I do Yoga With Adriene videos, and she talked about this studio in a vlog. AMAZING! Everyone is so welcoming, LOVE that it is a true donation based class, and the classes were perfect, from the teachers, to the music, and pace. If you're in the area and need an affordable, quality workout, go here! read more

Great place for yogis of all levels! I've gone to a few beginner classes and always felt welcomed and comfortable. The pay what you want feature is what initially drew me here, so if you're a broke college student like me, check out PYA. Great workout, friendly instructors. I only took off one star for the parking situation (street parking). read more

In town on business, and I was looking for a place for relaxing yoga at night. Saw the reviews for Practice Yoga and that they had a 8:45pm class, so headed that way. The studio was super, it screamed cozy and comfortable. Kudos to JJ for leading an amazing vinyasa class - I really like his style! I'll be back each time I'm in Austin! read more

THIS PLACE IS RAD! Seriously, the incredible team of teachers, the knowledge that they impart, the value they place on alignment, and true act of teaching they offer is unsurpassed. The space is also beautiful and comforting. When I came to Practice I had been practicing yoga for many years and these classes felt different to me, deeply intentional, approachable and with purpose. Let me repeat that, everything about this space and community is fueled with purpose, you can feel it. I ended up doing my 200 Hour Training at Practice and it was a catalyst for so many things in my life. Go here if you like feeling supported, challenged, welcomed, and open. If you don't like feeling those things, I'm really not quiet sure how to help you :/ read more

Went to Practice on my first trip to Austin and shouldn't have tried anywhere else! Will definitely be back. The studio is authentic with genuine, knowledgeable teachers who can truly teach to all levels. I've been practicing for over ten years and I found the classes strong with options offered but still accessible to others in class who may have been newer. They embody the spirit of Yoga more than other more corporate type studios I've tried in Austin and I think if the Yoga is what's important to you, this is the place to go. If you're more interested in a gym type workout in a fancy space, this may not be for you. To each, one's own but I definitely recommend this to anyone who identifies as a true yogi looking for a challenging, welcoming and calming experience! read more

I generally like all the classes I take here. It can get a bit crowded sometimes, but it's not like Bikram Yoga where everyone's just packed into a sweaty hot room - other yogis generally understand and respect other's space. My roommate follows Stacie Hawkins (and she knows it) here and I highly recommend attending one of her classes. I think she's trying to build a Stacie Hawkins cult following, but I wouldn't consider it a bad thing. read more

We were driving cross country and decided to stop in for some lovely Yoga. Randomly picked this one out of a couple different ones and was not disappointed. I've been practicing yoga for years and this was one of those where you live and feel like a new person and both mind, body and spirit. Definitely would go back and recommend to anyone in Austin!! read more

My Airbnb host recommended this spot to me. I am in town staying in East Austin, visiting from NYC, and am so sad that I don't have a studio like this in my home neighborhood! The studio is clean, people are friendly, classes are as affordable as you want them to be (though it looked like many people donated the cost of a regular yoga class), and it's in a great location. The mat I rented (no charge) was slippery and kind of distracting, but that's rentals everywhere. I went on a Saturday morning so class was pretty crowded, but not unbearable. I don't remember the name of my instructor (she was a sub) but I liked her class a lot - good mix of challenging positions that stretched me out, core work, and mindfulness. Definitely recommend! read more

Chill environment, intense yoga. Loved the little touches - hair bands and mints. It also helped that there were towels and mats (since I was from out of town). Nice walk through the neighborhood to get there. If you're in the area, you ought to go! read more

I LOVE Practice Yoga! I started my yoga journey two years ago and it's sometimes difficult to find the right home. I discovered Practice when I moved to the east side and immediately knew I'd found my place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the instructors are thoughtful and insightful as well as very talented. You can walk into any class and know you're going to get an amazing experience to "rinse off" the day. :) Much love and keep up the great work! read more

I adore Practice. As a yoga teacher and longtime practitioner, I think of Practice as hosting some of the very best yoga that Austin has to offer. In a warm and inclusive space, you can't go wrong with any of the teachers or classes. Community yoga at its best! read more

Great place, you won't be disappointed. The space is beautiful and serene, the teachers are excellent, and the price is whatever you want to donate (recommended $10-$15). It's in a great location too! read more

Great donation based studio. I dropped in since I am visiting from Seattle and took a class with Laura one day and Stacie a other day. Recommended! read more

Great yoga classes and scheduled throughout the day. Very convenient location on the east side and near down town. Excellent teachers & beautiful interior. They have yoga mats for rental, so you don't even have to bring your own! read more

Really Super Duper class for all levels. Very welcoming would definitely come back. Great way to end the workday

My sanctuary. This place is truly a gem. Smaller, more intimate classes than some of the other yoga studios I have been to in Austin. The ambiance is warm, peaceful and genuine. Glad I have found this studio to better my practice. The teachers are the best I've found in town as well! read more

Having passed Practice while bar hopping the night before, I saw this studio listed on ClassPass, so we went for the noon class on Sunday. It's donation class, so minimum contributor is $15. The studio is very eclectic with very charismatic instructors. The class was 75 minute of a core yoga class, and this had to have been one of the most difficult classes I had taken. The class was full, including locals and some visitors. The instructor was friendly and funny, creating a sense of community within the class quickly. Yoga mats, blocks and towels were available. I highly recommend! Parking available on the side streets. read more

I am *not* the kind of person who loves a sweaty, packed room with mere inches between mats. I sat down in the dark, windowless space, surrounded by other people, and wasn't sure I'd be able to tune out the noise. But then Shanti opened class by thanking us for making space, and reminding us that that's what the practice is about: making space in our lives for yoga, in our communities to practice it, making space for compassion in our hearts. She so quickly and powerfully switched my attitude I was blown away. As an out-of-town visitor and yoga teacher, I was really thrilled with the level of instruction at Practice Yoga Austin. I got individual attention even in packed classes; Shanti and Keily gave excellent cues and created a wonderful space. If you're in town looking for a yoga home away from home, go here. And donate as much as you would to drop-in at any other studio--it's worth it. read more

This was the most amazing yoga session I've ever had and I love the donation idea they have here, donate and enter class. It was fast moving in the Align class and I love the fact that they asked what we needed to work on a tailored the class to specific needs. I will definitely be going back regularly. read more
