Twist Yoga

Hands down the best instructors Ive ever had. People are so nice and the environment is PERFECT. Music is great and the warm temperature feels so good. Very impressed and love supporting small businesses as I am also a business owner.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
All the teachers are AMAZING and the owner Jen is charming.
Clean facility and lots of class option that will work with most schedule. Love the flow of power yoga against music (and the teachers really do put together a great playlist).
When I first started yoga, I was (and still am) literally the most inflexible awkward person in class. But there’s just something about being in class (teacher, music, mood, energy) that kept inviting me back. Over time, you learn to listen to your own body and know where your edge is. I am content watching others do a handstand while I’m just working on bending over. And it’s okay. And I’m happy. And yoga makes me happy.
It really is the highlight of my day. Thanks Twist.

I love Twist Yoga! The owner Jen, instructors, and other students are warm, friendly and make everyone feel welcome. The space is inviting, super clean and close to home (lucky me). While I have enjoyed each and every class I’ve attended, I most often find myself in Jamie’s excellent Power Yoga II and Fusion. When my schedule permits, Jessica’s midday classes are consistently awesome. Kristin’s meditation classes have literally been life-​changing as I am now a daily meditator! Thank you Kristin!
You really can’t go wrong with any teacher or class in my experience. Do yourself a favor and check out this studio!

I have been taking the Prenatal Yoga class with Katrina now for a few weeks and it is nothing short of amazing. With this being my first pregnancy, I was a little nervous about how it would go but it has become one of my most favorite things to do. I look forward to it every Tuesday! Katrina does an exceptional job of listening to how you are doing on that specific day (which as any woman who has been pregnant before knows, everyday is different) and tailors the class to be most beneficial. She makes you feel so comfortable and I especially love how she will provide little pregnancy tidbits of information during the class i.e. birthing breathing techniques. The studio itself is clean and a great size plus there is always plenty of parking. Katrina teaches an enlightening, relaxing, and powerful class which I highly recommend!

One of the highlights of my week! The staff is very friendly and the studio is always very clean. I typically go to the Twist Yin/​Restorative Class with Angela. :)

Twist Power Yoga 2 with Jamie was amazing! Great for intermediate to advance students. I will definitely be going back next time I’m in town!

After struggling with Bikram’s I tried Twist hot yoga. I’m in love. I cannot wait to go back. This could get addicting! I’m a 1 – 2 level at best and there are very talented students in their class but I didn’t feel out of place or shamed (yes, I’ve been to yoga studios that made me feel shamed). Everyone has to start somewhere! So I’m starting over here. Love it!

This place is just what Lake Oswego needed! I’m addicted to Stacey’s Sculpt classes — I hope they add more to their schedule! Best booty kickin’ ever :)

This studio is great. The owner is very accommodating and tries to get as many people into the studio as possible with a great introductory package. I suggest Ali and Jamie’s classes because they are amazing!!! My favorite teachers in Portland by far and both at the same studio that’s luck!

Love Jamie’s classes! I’ve followed her from HYFL in Beaverton to Twist and would probably follow her anywhere. Her classes are always different with great music, sometimes even dubstep… :) yes please. I was ecstatic to discover that Twist was a brand new and CLEAN studio with no carpet! Check out the yoga Shred if you’re looking for something different. Highly recommend!

I don’t live in the area, but I dropped into this studio a month ago to pass the time while my husband and father in law were playing a round of golf for Father’s Day. I’m a yoga newbie and was quick to blurt this fact as I paid the drop in fee at the front desk. The instructor, Chelsea, and the owner, Jennifer, were both present and both very welcoming, assuring me that my inexperience was no issue. I got a tour of the facilities as we waited for the other students to arrive and class to start.
Twist Yoga is an exquisite studio. All the details are handled here: if you forget a water bottle, they have bottles on hand to lend; they have full bathroom/​changing rooms equipped with showers, soap, moisturizer, hygiene products, towels, hair dryers, yoga mat cleaner… the list goes on. Neatly stacked inside and outside the studio you can find blankets, straps and blocks. Mats and towels are included in the price of the drop in fee, as was a welcome snack in the form of almonds.
Chelsea was no-​nonsense but kind, informative and attentive to all the students (of which I was by far the worst) in her class. The pace was quick but not grueling, with pauses supplied for reflection and meditation as the practice required… along with gentle reminders to breathe or step outside if we were getting overheated. I learned more about maintaining balance and form in an hour of this pleasant hot hatha class than I learned in all three miserable years of high school PE.
Pros: Friendly staff and students, obvious expertise in what they teach, gorgeous and secure space, full amenities, offers both hot and regular yoga classes.
Cons: Higher prices (drop in fee is $ 17 as of the date of this review, though it *is* all-​inclusive), not so sure I’m personally a fan of hot yoga and I will avoid it in the future. In other words, the cons are pretty much non-​existent.
For what you receive as a member of this yoga studio, I can assure you they are well worth the price. This is not my normal studio, but you can bet I will come again the next time I’m killing time before visiting my in-​laws.

This is a convent, clean, and beautiful studio. I have had a class from all of the instructors and that are all great. The classes range from a yoga «workout» to light, restorative types of classes. There are many different options for how you want to enhance your yoga practice. We are so lucky to have this gem so close to home.

I love the light hearted attitude and upbeat feel at twist yoga coupled with the best classes and temperature. Many hot yoga studios are too hot, but twist’s temperature allows for deep stretching without feeling depleted. The classes are the right size, never feeling too crowded. Additional learning is offered for special topics and total well being is the common goal at twist.

I write this as I complete my first month of yoga here with the intro offer of $ 49/​month unlimited. I have gone to no less than 3 classes per week and have been very impressed. As anyone who lives in LO knows the yoga picking are slim: options are either too easy, too preachy, too gym-​y. This place though offers the best of what I typically drive to Portland for: hot (but not too hot) yoga on wood floors (carpet is disgusting), knowledgeable teachers who actually correct positioning, challenging classes that make use of the allotted time with, get this, yoga (no harmonium, no teachers who expect to be your guru). The most notable thing for a suburban studio is that they offer ashtanga primary series twice a week. This will definitely be the reason I will continue to go here and only hope they continue to add these classes a couple more times a week. There are also 2 showers with products in case you have to dash off to work after. The place is also very clean. Only downsize is they may outgrow their current location, most classes are pretty busy, though not overwhelmingly so… for now.
