Eugene Yoga

Wonderful teachers & friendly students. Yoga for all levels & abilities. I’ve been a member since 2014 & my husband joined last year. My health requires I do gentle yoga but I have to modify the poses because of my physical condition. The teachers have been understanding & compassionate. Thanks to their help I learn I can modify any pose & have progressed from 2 classes a week to 4. I do wish the management was more responsive to making needed repairs in the rooms & was more organized on the business end. Tamarack has a calm & casual vibe & the rooms have windows to bring in natural light.

I can’t say enough good things about Eugene Yoga. Their yoga classes are top-​notch. Their teachers are excellent. The studios are beautiful.
I came to EY for yoga teacher training when I lived in Seattle. I didn’t know anyone but the studio community was so warm and inviting that I quickly felt part of the «family». When I attended public classes, each teacher had something special to offer. Together, they all create an atmosphere that is accepting and supportive.
The 200 hour teacher training program blew me away. I thought I knew yoga but I learned more than I have for years. Each weekend brought new revelations about yoga that took me deeper into my personal practice. And now that I have finished it, I feel completely ready to teach yoga to others.
EY has something for everyone. If you’re a yoga old-​timer, you’ll find classes that challenge and excite you. If you’re new, you’ll find support to get started. This is truly a special studio – you really should give it a try.
*I know my review sounds like an ad but that’s only because I’ve had such a good experience at Eugene Yoga. I’m completely sincere when I say that I can’t remember a yoga studio as nice as EY.*

I’ve wanted to try a yoga class for years now, but finally decided to try a $ 5 class a couple of weeks ago. Being older and a bit overweight, I was nervous about how I might be looked at, and worried that I might not be able to effectively participate. My fears were calmed almost immediately. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the instructor, Marynne, was wonderful, helping me when I did a pose wrong without making me feel inadequate, and helping me modify poses as necessary. I bought the introductory one month pass and have been to several classes in both locations, and have loved them all. I will be signing up for a monthly membership once the pass expires. My only complaint is the gentle yoga classes are mostly only offered mid morning or early afternoon, which does not work well with my 9 – 5 work schedule.

Not only are the classes over priced, but now you have to pay a $ 1 to rent a yoga mat. The student discount is also abysmal. It’s a quality experience for those who can afford to keep up with it, I’m sure.

I was visiting from out of town and stumbled across their studio at their downtown spot. Took a vinyasa class and as an advanced yogi it definitely was up to par. The studio is very nice and people were so friendly. They have a great deal for first-​timers, a variety of classes to take, and $ 6 classes sometimes.

While I have only been to a few of the instructors classes, I am very pleased with the quality of instruction and cleanliness of the studio. The environment is not intimidating in the least. One downside is storage space for your items when cold weather warrants bulkier outerwear. My recommendation would be try all of the classes and instructors– it looks like a diverse group.

I contributed a second review for this studio and it is no longer listed. I’m not sure who is to blame. I’ll try this once again. Eugene Yoga, I’m not interested in a private conversation with you. The changes that I think need to happen are not just of interest to me but for so many others who cannot afford your studio. I think you should consider whether your commitment is to enlightenment or money. If it’s the former then find a way to help low income students attend your studio. As of now you haven’t taken those efforts. I can’t even afford your classes much less your merchandise shop or raw juice bar. Though I am not interested in a private conversation with you, I am willing to discuss matters here so that others may benefit as well.

My Friend Richie once told me that you never get in-​between two dogs when they are fighting. No matter whose dogs they are, you will get bit. Well I didn’t tell Skeeter this and sent him in. Poor bastard got thrashed, we are talking exposed bone and ligament.
There he was in the middle of Donald st, ass up, bleeding out. My first thought was to leave the useless sack to get run over, but I remembered he had my copy of Wayne Gretzky hockey and a fifth of JD buried somewhere in Washburn park. Without that location I would be spending the night sober and alone… not that it would be different from any other night.
This wasn’t the first time skeeter had bled out in public. One time Skeeter broke into the steam tunnels under the University campus with his lady friend to get down. It was so humid he ripped his foreskin and now the tunnel is forever tainted with the vile mixture of his bloody shmegma. But I digress.
I needed to save his life so I took off my damp, musty shirt and clogged the wound. I Lifted him out of the puddle and carried him over to the sidewalk. Before I could place him on the grass I felt a sharp pain in my back. In one movement I farted dropped Skeeter, who screamed in agony, and grabbed my back. Oh no! I thought, this is the end. My old lady had joked that when the day came that I could no longer satisfy her she should put me down like an horse, but I knew this was no joke. I had seen her kill horses and she had that look when she told me; vacant, cold, and really f — ing hot.
I knew I couldn’t go home so I crawled my ass over to Eugene Yoga. The last thing I remember was screaming for help before I passed out and possible s— myself.
I woke up in the downward dog position being cradled by a lulu lemon angel. She worked my back out and saved my life. There are no words to thank her and unfortunately I didn’t get her name.
I give Eugene Yoga 5 out of 5 stars keeping me out of the glue factory. As for Skeeter, He gets 0 out of 5 stars because he was so messed up he forgot the location of his burial site.

I love this studio. I feel more calm simply by walking in. It’s quiet and peaceful and the floors are warm.
I live in Salem and came up four times a month for my teacher training with Sarahjoy Marsh last year. I loved the space and the training so much the drive didn’t bother me.
The owner Diane is lovely and the other teachers and practitioners are skilled and genuine. You will get exactly what you need here, without the competition or ego or pushy-​ness that often exists at other studios. It’s just about your physical body here. It’s also about the health and state if your mind.
This is where yoga is.

Tranquil setting, beautiful studio rooms, talented instructors. Arriving at Eugene Yoga feels like a mini daily getaway from life and I leave feeling refreshed and thoroughly worked-​out as well. Any of the instructors are great but I highly recommend attending an Arielle class!

I was in the Eugene area for two weeks and went to Eugene Yoga almost every day with their new student special. I really enjoyed my time there… I took at least a dozen classes, all of which were worthwhile. The instructors were lovely and I felt welcome in each and every class. Highly recommended!

I have been going to Eugene Yoga for the past year and I love it. I have taken yoga classes at a few, smaller studios and found myself not very happy with the teachers or service. The class offerings at Eugene Yoga are vary in difficult; the types of yoga; the teachers are diverse in personality and style. I am sure that you will find a class and teacher that fits your yoga needs.
My personal favorites are classes taught by Caitlin, Jean, Todd, Laurie (LJ), and Arielle.
I have never had a problem with the customer service. It sounds like the two negative reviews against the service shows more error on the reviewers’ part than the yoga studio’s. I mean. you can read the fine print, can’t you?

By far the BEST YOGA studio I’ve ever been to. The instructor was professional and pleasant to our class. You DEFINITELY need to visit this yoga studio!!!

Nice facility, comfortable setting, and teacher was solid. I’d recommend if in Eugene.

Good, but not awesome. $ 30 for 30 days promotional going on right now, which is what I’m using currently. Otherwise it’s $ 75 per month if you do a recurring payment program, which seems a little high for the general quality. Too bad they don’t offer more of their mid-​day weekday classes in the early morning, evenings, or weekends. Their Vinyasa and their Core classes are really good though!

I come from the Bay Area, where the standard for yoga studios is quite high. I’ve checked out several yoga studios in town, and found that Eugene Yoga is the best choice for me in terms of breadth of yoga styles, number of classes and workshops offered, teacher knowledge base, and friendly staff. I love Tom’s classes, and lately have been enjoying Jennifer Jameison’s classes. I also appreciate the little touches the studio provides — tea for cozying up before or after class, movie nights, and special deals (like the Vanilla Jill’s discount over the summer.)

I would agree with Darrin H. that the customer service side of this studio could be greatly improved. I too found the studio to be extremely unaccommodating. I had purchased a pass that unfortunately expired before I could take more classes. Life happens, and my work schedules conflicted with class times at the studio. Eugene Yoga claims that, «It is our intention that you feel comfortable, respected, and appreciated.» However, I didn’t feel like they were able to do this for me.
As far as the class, I found the teacher to be helpful, encouraging, and supportive. I enjoyed my time in the class and thought the quality of the class was as good as my favorite yoga studio in NYC.
If you’re considering taking classes here, go for it! Just be wary if you purchase a pass. Know that most likely the studio will be very strict and unwilling to make any adjustments.

Eugene yoga has a beautiful studio and excellent teachers. There are classes for all levels. Teachers give good individual attention to ensure your are approaching a pose correctly. I can get all the yoga I need there. It has a welcoming community feel.

I am a long-​time yogini and recently relocated to Eugene from Portland, where I had a regular practice with a wonderful teacher. She recommended a friend to me, who teaches at the recently revamped Eugene Yoga (formerly is was the yoga program within the Tamarack Wellness Center).
I have attended a handful of classes at Eugene Yoga and I really enjoy them. The atmosphere is really laid back and teachers are really welcoming. A nice diverse cross-​section of people attend classes, including more men than I typically saw in Portland. You can try many different styles of yoga, which is really nice, and they have a pleasantly full schedule of classes. Whether you’re looking for a gentle restorative practice or invigorating sequences, you can find a class here. Oh, and also the prices for classes (drop-​ins and packages) is very good.
All of the classes I have attended have been well attended and I really enjoyed them. I think that Eugene Yoga does a nice job of acting both as a yoga studio and as a place for the community to come together and embraces both the history of yoga, but also the Western adaptations that have grown in the US. I look forward to continuing classes there.
