Providence Power Yoga

I love this place! I did the 30 days for $ 30 deal a few months ago and it was well worth it. Now I drop in when I’m around. All the instructors I’ve had are very friendly and knowledgeable and the classes are always different so it doesn’t get boring. The studio is super clean and staff is friendly and helpful. Main cons are that it is kind of pricey (it seems all studios are though) but they do offer $ 8 and $ 5 classes somewhat frequently. Also it can be pretty crowded at times, but usually it’s not too big of a deal. Overall a great studio!

Good For Me
I am a yoga newcomer. A few people I work with come to PPY and recommended it. I’ve been to seven sessions now and I have to say I am impressed. The classes that I have taken are informative and helpful. The place is very clean and inviting and the instructors make me feel welcome and personify the message Yoga is trying to define. That message is that you have to be who you are and know your limitations. I never felt pressured or inept being s newcomer.
Tip:
Sign up for the initial unlimited 30 day trial for 30 bucks. It’s a great value.
Thanks

To me, PPY is like the beautiful person sitting at the end of the bar that you lust over from afar, finally work up the nerve to talk to, and end up disappointed learning there’s less there than you hoped.
I loved my discounted trial month for $ 30. I never considered staying on past the trial month — $ 80/​mo is on the high end for me given the packed classes, crappy parking, and lack of actual instruction.
Loves: Early am yoga sculpt class! Only time I ever felt like instructor knew I was there due to smaller size. Cool lavender eye cloths following some classes! Well kept studio space! Plenty of extra equipment to loan! Attention to sanitation wiping down mats and weights after every class. Good service. Emma Lipkin!
Dislikes: Price, crowded classes, parking, crowded classes, lack of 1:1 attention from instructors, instructors generally assume general to advanced yoga terminology knowledge, and not a whole lot of communication between instructors and class, whether that be asking about injuries or taking a quick survey of specific things people would like to work on. I’ve participated in multiple classes where the instructor never left her mat in the front of the room to walk around and offer individual coaching.
No doubt about it, it’s a great studio. But not $ 20 drop in, $ 80/​mo great.

PPY is the first yoga studio that I visited when I moved to Providence, and has been so wonderful that I have never gone anywhere else.
Everyone who works there has been friendly, welcoming, and nonjudgmental. The power yoga classes are a great workout; if you want a real challenge then Jillian’s yoga sculpt classes definitely fit the bill. The atmosphere is very zen, I love that towels and mats are included, and the studio is always clean.

The 6:15am heated power yoga sculpt classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Jillian are my *jam*. I wish the studio offered the Monday and Wednesday versions of this class that they used to offer. Tbh, I would go to any sculpt class that Jillian taught.
I have a lot of difficulty finding classes that I enjoy or are strenuous enough as to feel like a challenge. In the past, I’ve taken a ton of «trendy» workout classes — barre, spinning, etc — and nothing has worked for me. This class is different. I come out each session drenched in sweat but feeling like I’ve worked my body, and over the last four months of class, I’ve noticed a difference in strength and muscle tone. Jillian tries to shake up the routines for each class, so they always feel fresh, and the high-​energy, fun pop playlists she curates make class whiz right on by!

I’ve been to several yoga studios in the state and surrounding areas. Sorry to say I was not happy with this location at all, from the parking to the attitude of the desk staffers. Also, classes are jam packed. The instructors are knowledgable and friendly, but it’s not a peaceful experience.

Today was my first time doing yoga. Great place and the times on their schedule fit my busy schedule. Can’t wait to go again.

Providence Power Yoga (PPY) made me fall back in love with practicing yoga. Joellen and her team are the absolute best. Every instructor at PPY is excellent, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The studio offers free mats, free towels and is bright, clean and beautiful. When you walk into the studio you instantly feel welcome and Joellen does a great job building a community. I highly recommend Providence Power Yoga, this studio truly is something special.

Providence Power Yoga is great! It’s a friendly studio with great teachers.
My husband and I were staying in Providence for six weeks in the heart of winter. We both took the 30 days for $ 30, and we are so glad we did. We practiced regularly (almost everyday) and were never disappointed. My husband is a newer yogi, and practicing at PPY for a month really deepened his practice.
The staff and teachers are welcoming, friendly, accommodating, and happy to answer any questions you may have. We felt very at h (om)e practicing at PPY, and are happy to know we have a place to practice if we are ever in Providence again.
Take a class with PPY. You’ll be so glad you did!

Such a wonderful and welcoming studio. I recently moved to Providence and was seeking a yoga studio that would suit my needs and make me feel at home. PPY definitely did this. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and you never feel out of place. The studio is also very clean and has a great array of props. I love how the classes are challenging but the teachers always offer several alternatives for most poses. All teachers are great but I found Liz G and Jillian to be exceptional! Another thing I loved about PPY is that they are understanding when it comes to being late. I have been to studios before that would not let you through the doors one minute late but JoElen and her staff are so understanding and never made me feel bad about being a couple of minutes late (most of the time due to traffic).
Overall, excellent studio that I would HIGHLY recommend!

This place rawks! JoEllen has a beautiful space and a team of excellent instructors. If you love yoga, you will love this studio.

I love this studio! I recommend it so highly. There is a wonderful mix of teachers and classes that strike a rare balance between the physical and spiritual components of yoga. I was hesitant at first because my experiences with «power yoga» in the past have verged on bad gym classes, but this couldn’t be further from the truth with Providence Power Yoga. PPY is a haven. A beautiful space and community with highly trained and warm teachers who make an effort to get to know you and your practice. Great for any yoga student at any level of practice. Plus their new student deal makes it incredibly affordable to try out the studio. Alas I have moved away from Providence, but PPY is one of the things I miss most… hence this nostalgic review. All the teachers are fabulous. My personal recommendation is Caroline’s Slow Flow (probably the best yoga class ever).

I love this place! I work close by and recently took advantage of the «new client» pricing which is a steal — 30 days of unlimited yoga for $ 30! I’ve mostly stuck to the lunch time classes, which are a perfect for my schedule. All of the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, the studio is clean, and the complimentary mats and towels are a huge help for when you’ve forgotten your own. I am hoping to try a yoga sculpt class or pose clinic soon!

I’ve been trying to hold out writing a review until a week of classes but I couldn’t wait any longer. I am that excited to share my love for this yoga studio! The classes I’ve been to so far have been amazing. I’m a little picky about my yoga classes and PPY fits my needs. I’ve been tot heir yoga sculpt classes and their hot vinyasa classes. Both are amazing. The studio is beautiful and they’ve done a really good job fostering a sense of community and relaxation. One of my favorite yoga studios in town.

BOMB​.COM! Best yoga studio hands down! amazing classes! Lots to choose from and great time schedule!!! WELL WORTH THE MONEY!
The owner is amazing! Everyone super nice! Super clean! And when they say it 90 °F with 60% humidity it really is! For hot vinyasa!
This is the better pick! Compared to now yoga, boiler house and many others!
As amazing as raffa!

Full Disclosure: I work in the Jewelry District and have only attended PPY’s 45-​minute lunch-​time classes thus far.
That said, PPY is by far the best yoga studio I’ve had the pleasure of striking a pose in in PVD! Seriously, this studio is BEAUTIFUL. They provide all sorts of accessories for use within their classes, and even provide complementary mats for use in their classes too! The two instructors I’ve had so far for the lunchtime classes have been friendly and professional and that fact shines that through the environment of the studio.
I can’t even begin to express how pleasant it is to see a friendly face that greets you by name for the lunch break classes! Every instructor I’ve met does such a wonderful job of helping you find that happy place inside your head where you haven’t a care in the world. When savasana ends I feel like I’ve released all of my tension, let it go, and just melted away. I then can float effortlessly through the second half of my work day and find myself being even more productive because of it.
Lunchtime classes here are well balanced and scaled to suit all types of yogis, from complete beginners to more advanced students. They keep their heat at a warm – but not sweltering–80 °F for their lunch classes. I still find I sweat mildly, but it’s never, but I never feel I require a shower afterward.
Most of their lunchtime clientele is standard jewelry district fare: students, medical professionals, and young professionals. The studio is more upscale than others I’ve frequented. Prices generally seem to reflect that, BUT their lunch classes are an extremely reasonable $ 5 AND they give you the option to sign up for a 30-​days-​for-​$ 30 deal if it’s still your first week!
When you walk into their studio, expect a clean and fresh lounge; plenty of cubbies to stash your things and numerous hooks to hang your coats. They even have changing rooms and a bathroom that I would assume is also very nice. I’ve heard they sell bottled water and coconut water and they also have a very nice selection of mats, clothing, and accessories for sale behind the counter as well.
If that wasn’t enough their customer service even goes so far as to provide a basket of fruit on your way out of the studio. Unbelievable.
In summary, if you’re in the market for a yoga studio in downtown PVD or the jewelry district, look no further. You’ve found it!

Sometimes i need just a release from the world, shut it all out, let it all go and melt away.
This place really bring the yogi out in me. Liz’s sunday candlelight class are just perfect. Warm class, usually with nice candles to eliminate the room. I can really concentrate on my chi as i hold my static pose and the lavender towels during your vinyasa is a nice way to end it.
Liz instruction is amazing. Just enough to keep you wanting more. What can i say, she’s AMAZING!
The studio has a very SPA like-​feel, even though it’s in the heart of downtown. I really do feel they made a place where you can disconnect for an hour or so from all your troubles.
12 bucks for students like me, and 15 for other for a pick up class is worth it in my wallet.
KUDOS TO A GREAT PLACE!

My commute sucks. If you know me, you have heard me complain about it. In addition, it makes me miss 99% of yoga classes in my hometown (Newport). PPY opened and is literally in my parking lot at work… how much better could that be? As soon as this happened, My zen was taken to a whole new level and my road rage abated.
The place is so cute and fresh. It makes you want to stay and hang out with your girlfriends to discuss yoga with afterwards. The décor and furniture is inviting, young, and hip. It makes you feel like you are in your friends living room. There are places to change and store your clothes (during the class) as well as mats for long term storage. Being in the city. that makes it so easy! They offer towels to all students (which I have never seen before), free use of mats (again, rare), and beautiful passages during savasana. They offer both cork and foam blocks, as well as ample spray to wipe your mats. They also offer free tangergines/​tea in the waiting area. It truly is the gold star to customer service. My only complaint is that there is no showers, as I go straight to work from class (don’t tell my co workers).
The schedule times are made to fit around those who work… I love how there are morning classes. On days that I know I have stuff to do after work. I love knowing that I can come in early and get my yoga done for the day. The classes are challenging, spiritual and rigorous. I also love how in the summer they do outdoor yoga on the docks. Those were some of the best classes I have ever taken.

I had been looking for a yoga studio for a while before finding PPY. Joellen has created a beautiful space. Not just with the physical space — which is spacious, clean, and has changing areas, props, complementary towels AND mats, but also with the feel of the studio. There’s a real sense of community and warmth. The energy is always positive and genuine. It would seem that all that would be a given for a «yoga studio» but many studios in their attempt to create that kind of atmosphere just end up being cliquish and at worst cultish.
I’ve been coming to PPY for almost a year and haven’t found a class I haven’t liked or loved. The classes can be inspiring, challenging, restorative, or playful… sometimes all of the above. As the studio has grown, they’ve also begun to offer classes beyond «hot» and «power» yoga which is nice for variety.
My practice is not as regular as possible, but I always always look forward to a PPY class.

The studio’s ambiance is a spa-​like setting that is relaxing, energizing, and rejuvenating! Providence Power Yoga sets the gold standard for customer service, too! From soft free towels, elastics in the bathroom, to mats and mat storage… and so much more! It just doesn’t get any better than this!
PPY’s instructors are very knowledgeable and welcome students from all skill levels. Every teacher is very unique and wonderful! (The owner) Joellen’s positive energy is contagious! She naturally makes you feel right at home and her classes area energizing and grounded!
Liz Guardia and Jillian Cooney-​Oakes are fantastic teachers! They always challenge me in different ways. Liz Butler and Christine have wonderful classes too !
I would highly recommend trying out several teachers! During the summer, Joellen teaches yoga in the park, yoga & surfing, etc (FUN). The sunrise classes at 6 AM are a great way to start the day if your an early riser! They are heated sessions. The lunch time sessions are not heated. Ideal if you work in the city! This is the place if youre searching for a yoga community to call home. Hope to see you there!
