NOW Yoga - N. Williams, Portland OR

Not only did I attend regular classes at NOW, I also went on multiple retreats with them. They are a fantastic community; genuine, mindful, kind humans and amazing instructors.

The intentionality of this space is unmatched. I’ve been a part of numerous studios around town and am so glad I found one that aligns with my community values. The teachers provide supportive and culturally appropriate guidance that honors the land and people where this practice originates. The studio provides scholarships and discounted rates for underserved communities and allocates safe spaces for diverse identities to practice in a safe, welcoming environment. It is more than a yoga studio, it is an opportunity to build community; the unique workshops and bonus social offerings demonstrate just that. Come build with us.

I gave 2 stars because I never was able to attend and they do have good times BUT the 25 dollar fee for changing is a bit excessive, i was on the trial pass and had to move around my schedule with school and didn't know i was going to be charged, there was no warning (although there is a note about it on a separate page when i was looking for why i was charged when i saw the emails come through).

Unfortunately the risk of bring charged $25 has just made me cancel all my classes and look elsewhere for a studio. I'm sure they are great if you can trust your schedule won't change but for me this is too difficult and I just spent $75 on this studio plus the $40 for the 2 week pass so a total of $135 that i really could have used for more productive things.feels greedy.

Melissa and Augusta, the owners, are generous, kind and creative in addition to being wonderful teachers. The space they have created is lovely, peaceful and welcoming just like them. Great classes. Lots of time options and many extra workshops. I love this studio and am so happy to have found them. Also, supporting a small, women owned, all inclusive business feels just as good as the yoga

Been coming here since pandemic times. It was the first studio I tried as lockdown was lifting, and I go regularly now. They have awesome classes, teachers who care, and a great series of additional activities. Their retreats and workshops are lovely.

I love taking class here whenever i visit Portland. So warm and welcoming and a nice variety of teachers and styles. Highly recommended!

This studio is comforting and clean and the instructors are crazy good. Class props are well-kept and I love the little touches like spare hair-ties, fruit, and tea.

A variety of classes are scheduled 7 days a week throughout the day which I so appreciate as someone with a highly variable schedule. Love love the yin yoga offerings (Sarasvati is amazing) and Kubo's strength class as change of pace.

Outdoor and rooftop classes in the summer, special events, retreats etc - this type of thoughtful programming is just another reason to love the studio.

What a beautiful space and welcoming environment. The staff is lovely, the studio is clean and calming, and the practice is challenging yet accessible for all. Highly recommend!

What a lovely experience. The space is calm, relaxing & mindful. The practice was challenging in all the right ways, while also coming from a place of respect & Acknowledgment of one’s body. Everyone was really friendly & welcoming & the instructor was knowledgeable & had the perfect flow for the class. Will def come again!

Such a wonderful studio, can't recommend enough. The instructors create a space that's appropriate for all skill levels and are very knowledgeable/approachable for anything you need.

Good evening everyone! Just wanted to shout out this studio. Especially Coach Kubo, they are game changer.
The atmosphere of kindness and intensity strikes a good balance. Good music, good laugh's couldn't ask for more.
I've gained so much from this class, dealing with a few injuries coming in they have all gotten better. Do yourself a favor and give their 11am Saturday strength class a try.
Thanks Now Yoga and Coach Kubo!

A lovely community in an awesome neighborhood! Such a special studio with so much to offer in terms of classes and giving back to the community.

NOW yoga was the first place I felt community when I first moved to Portland 6 years ago. There are so many wonderful teachers and offerings and you are always greeted with immense kindness. The studio space is beautiful and serene with lots of high quality props available so you can support your practice (especially love using them for yin and restorative.) Love practicing at NOW!

I love this studio! All their classes and teachers are top notch, it's a beautiful space, and management has always been really helpful and caring. I so appreciate how they are creating ways to stay connected to the community (virtual and outdoor classes) during the pandemic. I am happy to shop local and support this local and women owned business!

Loved Lauren's class. Dynamic movement flow was key to warming up well! I'll definitely attend again.

I had such a great experience at this yoga studio - I felt very relaxed and refreshed afterwards, and I got in a great workout!
