The studio was stinking. Barre class wasn't super challenging. Tried to speak to the instructors who weren't very friendly. I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

Love this studio! A home away from home whenever I'm in Edinburgh. Booking a class online has always been tremendously easy; showing up and checking-in for a class has always been welcoming and friendly and hassle-free; and, their space in New Town is just lovely. I've taken the candlelit restorative class a few times now, and it's always been such a pleasurable experience. The twinkly lights in the ceiling are a touch of magic, the literal and metaphorical warmth of the room is just right (I'm a girl who runs hot, and sometimes yoga studios just overdo it with the blasting heat), the atmospheric background music brings it all together - truly, it's immersive. I've had a couple different instructors, all bringing their own personal touches. Sometimes there's (optional/consensual) hands-on/reiki offered too! I miss this studio when I'm not in the city, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Tribe Yoga opened a few weeks ago and I went to my first class here last week. It's a really nice studio that has been well designed and has gone for quality. It's still being finished so there are a few bits that are in progress like a washing machine was sitting in the corridor but I'm sure these will be finished soon. The reception has a shop selling Lululemon clothes and yoga equipment, along with juices and water. There isn't a communal changing room but individual shower cubical and a space with hair dryers and well light mirrors so if you were heading to work after a class then there is room to shower and get ready. In the corridor next to the two studios there are lockers with electronic combination locks. The only problem with them is that there aren't numbers or another way of easily remembering which locker you put your belongings in. The class before mine came out and I think at least two people had to get the teacher to unlock lockers until they found their stuff. The class I did was in the main studio and it's a really nice space with star lighting heat panels on the ceiling. The heat panels were only on low for my class but I'm sure for a hot yoga class they'd be really good. Mats, booster cushions and blocks were provided so you don't need to bring anything. They have several teachers on the schedule that I've done other classes with and all of whom are excellent. It's a nice space with good teachers so I'll certainly be back to try another class. read more

Tribe Yoga - Tribe Yoga in New Town - Yoga Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

See all

Ahhh!! I mean, Ommm. Since leaving Melbourne, I've really struggled to justify the cost of hot yoga in the UK. I've tried another place nearby which was alright, but for me Tribe takes the cake. I'm actually in pre-contemplation about quitting my gym membership and joining with this fine establishment. The teachers are friendly and helpful, and took the time to show me through the studio prior to class (its my biggest anxiety- what if I need some water? Where's the tap? Where will I change!?) So already a big tick in my book. So I did a hot flow class (26°c). The room is small and the mats are quite close together which I wasn't used to, but this seems to be taken into account during practice so I did not find this to be a huge issue. The class itself had a positive energy, I certainly felt encouraged and supported in my practice and was given ample time at the end in savasana. So when I move on from the pre-contemplation stage (probably next week) I will certainly make Tribe Yoga my regular studio for yoga practice. I'm so impressed I can now justify the cost of membership. read more

I'm not the yoga type but I like trying new things. My friends in Canada have been raving about barre class and how great it is for you body and that it is fun. When I saw that Tribe offered it, I thought I should try it out. OMG it was both amazing and difficult at the same time. I showed up one Sunday afternoon 15 mins before the class began and was given a brief tour of the premises. There are lockers available and you do not need to bring a key (amazing!) - you simply enter a four digit code that locks your belongings. They don't have a change room, per se, but there are about five shower/toilet rooms where you can change in. They also have hair dryers and a big mirror, which is handy if you do a class before work or if you are going out. Now to the class: I would describe Barre as a mix of stretching, ballet and pilates. I naively thought it would be all stretching and that I wouldn't break a sweat. I was wrong. Lots of lunges, lots of arm and leg movements. I was sore the next day. The class only takes about six people maximum, so you really get 1:1 attention. The instructor, Amy, is also really friendly and really encourages you throughout the workout. I also tried a 'warm pilates' class. I had never done a 'warm' or 'hot' class before - I thought maybe it would be like doing exercise while on holiday. The pilates class is held in a bigger room and there were about 12-15 people there. Instead of a heater or radiator heating the room, a steady injection of steam was used. It felt like you were doing a class in a steam room (in a good way). Some things I really like about Tribe: - They have an app which has their class schedule with all the information required. You pay for your class via the app too. - Timing of classes. The class schedule really suits me - lots of evening, early morning and weekend classes. - The price. I have purchased a block of five class for less than £50.00! I think that's good value when you compare other studios. - It's clean and modern - Showers have shampoo/shower gel - ***you don't need to bring a mat*** - handy because I don't have a mat! And also, who wants to carry a mat around? (Tribe also clean each mat after every class A++++). Oh and they use Luluemon mats (and they do not slip!) I think you can also rent a towel for £2. Even though I haven't done a yoga class (yet), I highly recommend Tribe yoga for its other classes! read more

Amazing staff and great atmosphere! Tribe was the perfect place to start as a beginner as there is no judgement and both other attendees and teachers are really supportive. Could not recommend any more highly. read more

I'll be adding their warm tribe class to my regular schedule.... What a workout! Really great for strength and perfect to add to your regular yoga practice to jump up a level a lot faster. I really like how mats and flavoured water are included. Small but hyper modern place that reminds me of studios in the USA. Feels a bit impersonal and like a 'good rolling machine' to me. So at first, I felt reserved... But then the class started and just blew me away.... Haven't had such a good workout in a while! Definitely give it a try :) Sign up early as there are only 12 spaces per tribe barre class so they fill up fast. They charge for towel hire and I definitely could use a shower after this class, so next time I will make sure I take one with me! They have a cute waiting area with magazines and books and random items for sale. read more

Spent more time taking classes at Tribe than I expected. It's a longer haul for me than Meadowlark (which I still love, but there have been a lot of changes in just the year since I wrote my review, with more apparently forthcoming) but worth it when I go. They have a definite edge over Meadowlark in a few areas... 1) Their cancellation window is more generous. You can cancel without penalty at Tribe if it's over 3 hours before class. Meadowlark is still 12 hours for the cancellation window. For those days when you find out that morning that you can't go to class that evening? Much more helpful and flexible. 2) Rooms already come kitted out with high-quality Lululemon mats free of charge. No fee to rent, they're just there. You can bring your own and many people put a towel over them (even though they are kept clean) but it's nice not to have to schlep the mat sometimes, especially if you want to do something like meet a friend for dinner right after class. 3) Lockers with a code you can customise to stash your things. 4) Multiple toilets you can change in privately with good showers and nice bath products. Hair dryers in the communal areas. Between the lockers, showers and adjacent changing area it's not quite as crowded. Studio is still very new and facilities are near spotless. The yoga classes are varied and the instructors are very good. Demelza, one of my favourite Meadowlark instructors is now there, but she apparently teaches mostly early classes and I don't go to yoga in the mornings. I've found more dynamic classes and once in a while enjoyed a much more relaxed Yin class here and there which has been helpful for my joint pain, flexibility and has a soothing meditative aspect that I like as well. Barre and Pilates classes are also offered! When my friend told me about barre and how friggin difficult it was (and she's very fit and an avid yogi) I knew I was in for a challenge. Was using different muscle groups, but was able to modify a bit and get through it. And it was HOT barre. But I'll be back, because my booty looks almost as good as it did 15 years ago when I was at Uni and I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it. I'm lucky that I'm able to take some classes during the day because most evenings it seems they're booked up a week in advance at least, and that's even with having two rooms to practice in. They also employ their version of the Mind/Body app many yoga studios use for booking and buying class passes. I highly recommend it, especially since the Tribe version tells you how many spots are available and how many other people are on the waitlist ahead of you for full classes. The evening classes do get pretty packed. So far they're doing an ok job of having reasonable caps though. Doesn't seem to be hurting Meadowlark IMHO, their classes are still quite busy. I'm really happy Tribe opened and there's another excellent yoga option in Edinburgh with the added bonus of barre classes. read more

I had a week's pass for Tribe Yoga and have managed to try out 4 different styles of classes. Tribe has an easy-going, relaxed atmosphere and welcomes everyone from newbies to experienced yogis. I was at the former end of the scale and felt truly comfortable as the teachers guide you through the class and give options for easier or more advanced poses. Tribe offer a range of classes from Stretching/Meditation type yoga, Ashtanga/Flow yoga to Power yoga, Pilates and Barre (ballet yoga). Their website has a great description of each class type, so that you know what you are getting yourself in for. I tried classes at both Normal (21 degrees) and Warm (26 degrees) temperatures and the also do Hot (31 degrees). However, it seems to depend on the instructor as to how much they heat the room as there was a significant difference between 2 of my classes that were both supposed to be Warm. Being brand new, the studios have been designed to be the best quality - heated flooring, steam heating, lighting options (including twinkling stars!) and mats cleaned after EVERY class. This, along with the soothing voice of the instructor provides an environment where you can truly relax your body and calm your mind. One thing I think the teachers could do prior to each class is ask if anyone is new and also if anyone has any injuries or movement restrictions. Due to previous surgery, I have movement restriction in one knee, meaning I am unable to do all poses and feel that it would be good for the teacher to know that this is the reason and not that I am ignoring their instruction and/or just doing it wrong. read more

I visited the quartermile location and it was great! Jess was the instructor - it was a nice flow with some much needed breath work at the beginning (I have been walking 10+ miles a day sightseeing), her class was just what I needed to get out of my travel funk! Very clean facilities, no need for a mat or towel either, well worth the money! The room was about 80 degrees(F) and full, I got sweaty but not crazy, it was just right. read more

For me, Tribe Yoga delivers a variety of classes that allows the student to practice at their own level. I have been looking for a hot yoga studio in Edinburgh that has a combination of challenging and relaxing classes, great teachers, and a welcoming environment. Tribe yoga easily accomplishes all three, and has two beautiful studios and fantastic bathroom/shower facilities to top it off. I have tried many different yoga studios in Edinburgh, and can easily say Tribe Yoga is my favourite. read more

Tribe Yoga is a slick studio with three different locations. I took advantage of their 4-class intro offer and took three classes at their Leith Walk location and one in New Town, doing mostly yoga and one barre class. They also do spin classes at Leith Walk but they don't rent shoes and I'm not a fan of spinning with just trainers and not clipped in with cleats. All the classes I took were great and quite varied- from flow yoga at Leith Walk which was quite mellow and slow, to a barre class that wore out my ass (literally) and a challenging flow class at New Town. Mats and towels are provided. It's definitely somewhere I'd get a monthly membership to if I lived in Edinburgh as it's on par with studios in London and offers good variety. read more

Absolutely lovely yoga studio. They offer a good range of affordable classes including hot yoga. I cannot recommend their restorative yoga class enough to anyone that needs to create a gentle space for relaxation in their life. read more

Went as part of a Yelp event. If you use a chiropractor, go try these guys out. It's much more fun and a lot cheaper! It's a new business, great setup, with friendly knowledgeable staff, and immaculate individual changing rooms each with its own shower. If you are a yoga guru or a complete newbie, totally worth checking out :) read more

I thought I didn't like yoga till I did a hot yoga class here. Now i'm totally hooked - have been 4 times in 2 weeks and would have gone more if work wasn't in the way! The facilities are amazing, towels and mats (lululemon brand) are provided, and there are showers available after you have finished a hot or warm class if you need to dash off somewhere else. It feels like a luxury spa. All the instructors I have tried have been fantastic, with varied styles so there is something new in every class. Best of all is the hugely welcoming "community" feel as soon as you walk in the door - All the staff are instructors and are SO friendly and helpful, and even the other class members are always smiley and welcoming. I never really got "in the zone" doing yoga before, but since coming here I have not only left every class feeling light, positive, and calm, but i've found it easier to remember that feeling the rest of the time so I feel happier in my own daily life. I would say the classes are pretty fast paced and challenging with little explanation - this doesn't bother me as i'm a dancer so good at following along but if you are a beginner definitely start with one of their beginner classes so you are not put off. Love this place, try it out and hopefully i'll meet you there! :-) read more

Not a good experience, unfriendly, the class and teacher had not personality. Felt like a number

I tried this after seeing loads after it seemed to keep popping up everywhere. It is located about a 5 minute walk from George Street and sits above Leo's Beanery. I have tried both their Hot Flow Yoga (32 degrees) and their Barre class, which combines ballet, Pilates and yoga. The hot yoga class was on a Sunday, and was absolutely packed. The mats were very close together, like you can't do a forward fold/swan dive. The heat is right above you as well, so it did get super warm. I enjoy that, but I can see how some might not. The instructor Jacob was good, although he didn't come around to do many corrections, granted there wasn't a lot of room to move. It is a fast moving and a good workout, I do enjoy the heat! However, it would have been nice to have a bit more space as some of the poses demand it. The barre class had fewer people at only 7, which was nice as there is lots of moving around. The instructor Kevin was nice and easy to follow. The class starts with a warm-up of ballet moves, very cardio based and goes in repetitions. This is tough and very fast, but nice, because it is different to anything I've done before. Then you do bar exercises on each side of the body followed by a round of mat abdominal exercises from Pilates. I was definitely not keeping up for everything as I am so far from coordinated, but Kevin checked in several times to make sure I had it right. The class was in 26 degree heat, and felt just right. I would definitely go again. Upon my first time there, the staff showed me around. They have lockers, no keys needed! A several showers (with soap in them) and hair dryers. It is nice they have them so you can shower and head back into town. It is a really nice studio and they do sell water, coconut water and some gear if you need. Each drop-in is £10, and definitely book in advance as I think they are consistently busy. read more

Edinburgh's best yoga studio! Tribe offers an excellent variety of classes from restorative, relaxation classes to high energy challenging classes. The instructors are very approachable and knowledgable, making sure that all poses are done correctly and offering variations where needed. The studio itself is lovely and has a great atmosphere, free use of matts, lockers and towels is an added bonus. I would highly recommend Tribe, I now wouldn't attend classes anywhere else. Keep up the good work! read more
