Austin Yoga Tree

Love this yoga community and studio!
Jonathan is awesome and the people here are welcoming and kind. So grateful to have found this studio, being new to Austin. A good variety of classes are offered and it feels like a family.

I signed up with the $ 1 unlimited yoga special for the first month just to try it out and see if it was a good fit. I’m loving the studio and the teachers, I’ve tried the restorative, Iyengar and meditation classes so far — all are great and I plan to continue with my membership. I highly recommend this studio!

Very upset with Austin Yoga Tree. Signed up for the $ 1trial in November and canceled within the trial period. I check my bank account this morning January 16 and I have a $ 79 fee that is unauthorized and I have not used any services. WTF!!! Who does that? I think that is beyond unprofessional, inconsiderate and rude.

Namaste, yo. This place lured me in with the exciting promise of Gong Nights and complimentary tea post workout. That was good and all, and the yoga was cool, though I think I could have got just got a good enough work out with my Rodney Yee DVDs at home. Life coaching not my thing though and seems odd to be getting dramatic, soulful life advice on Anderson Mill across the street from a Speedy Mart convenience store. That cultish stuff turns me off, so I wouldn’t recommend, but dang that Lipton Tea was good. Finding the good with the bad is my life coach advice.

I totally agree with the other five star reviews for Austin Yoga Tree. I’m so happy they have this niche in Northwest Austin. Not only do they have quality instructors, but they have created an atmosphere of community.
At Austin Yoga Tree, the instructors work with class attendees, suggesting corrections and modifications when needed, rather than making the yoga session a time for their own personal practice. I see this studio as going nowhere but up.
Oh, by the way, the life coaching alone deserves a five star rating.

Love love love this place!!! Very knowledgeable instructors. Great atmosphere. They’re always pleasant and welcoming. Poses are explained well and they take the time to help you do them correctly. Always happy to offer modifications if needed and class is FUN. I’ve been doing yoga off and on for probably twenty years, and these are without a doubt the BEST instructors I’ve had. So happy to have found this place :-)

Austin Yoga Tree found the perfect niche to fill by opening their laid-​back studio on Anderson Mill Road. I’ve tried other yoga classes previously, but I know I won’t be going regularly unless it’s fairly close to home or work. In this case, it’s both.
Their instruction focuses mainly on the Iyengar Method, which is a fairly accessible form of yoga. Most classes don’t move quickly or require prior knowledge, so you can learn as you go. They provide all the mats and props you need or you can bring your own. Everything is clean and well organized.
They also offer a few classes in Hatha and Vinyasa Flow, and a mat Pilates class. So there’s some variety if you want to try different approaches with different instructors. You can join on a monthly unlimited class basis without a contract (look for discounts at check in and with Groupon) or by the class or block of classes, like most other studios in town. It’s worth doing the membership cost-​wise if you’re going to go at least twice a week. I’ve had great results doing that for a few months.
The studio itself is fairly large and has high ceilings. And they don’t heat it for classes, both of which are bonuses for me, because extreme heat in small spaces sends me right over the edge. Yoga is supposed to be peaceful, right?
The only caution I would give you is to check their class schedule before you sign up for a membership, and make sure the class times work for you. They’re still fairly new so they don’t have a huge number of classes, and not very many during evenings and weekends. That may change as the classes fill up and more people give feedback as to what works for them, but as for now it’s a bit limited unless your schedule is flexible or you work non-​traditional hours.

I really enjoy coming to Austin Yoga Tree. Before coming here, I’ve done yoga a couple different times. Ive always left with my clothes drenched in sweat. I’ve noticed when I leave here, I’m barely sweaty, but I’m walking taller and with better posture. Jonathan really makes sure everyone’s form is correct before moving onto the the next position. I also think he concentrates more on mind and spirit, which I love, because you leave there feeling collected. He’s very patient and very helpful!
Very nice people at the Austin yoga tree. I also went to Pilates and meditation and both were very rewarding!

I wanted to give an update about Austin Yoga Tree and how it has improved my life. They have a wonderful variety of yoga classes /​instructors. I love taking the different classes — from restorative to Iyengar. I have found much mental peace from practicing yoga, as well as physical strength.
The gem at this studio is the Life Coaching classes taught by Jonathan. If you are ready for change in your life, this is the place to be. Over the last few months, Life Coaching has given me the tools to finish a huge writing project, improve my personal relationships, and grow as a human being. Jonathan insures a safe environment for participants to face their fears in a no-​nonsense practical approach. The homework he and I create for myself has helped me develop healthy habits, resulting in finished projects and inner peace. What else could I ask for?!
Too good to be true? No, not really. Austin Yoga Tree provides me the opportunities to achieve whatever I am willing to work for. And, the good news (for me right now) is I am willing to do the work.
Jonathan and Edith remind me that AYT is a not a «studio» — it’s a «community». Community is defined as a group of people living in the same area or have the same interest. While this may be true for AYT, I’d like to better their description and call them a «fellowship», because it is the relationships built here — between the students, the teachers and the owners — that has me coming back for more, pushing myself to new goals.
Other things I love about this place: free hot tea, community events (Gong Nights are awesome!), and hugs. (Note: if you’re not a huggy person, no one judges.)

I LOVE this place! Jonathan, Edith and Jill are super sweet (those who will greet you when you arrive); all the teachers are outstanding and they offer fantastic workshops and events. Family atmosphere — not at all commercial, competitive or intimidating. Fantastic for beginners and experts alike!

I’m a big fan of yoga tree, especially Jonathan’s classes. I’ve never been one to like doing yoga, honestly. However Recently I tried a class through Fitmob and loved it and now I plan my whole workout schedule around taking the Iyengar or Hatha class here! The place is clean and just feels good. They have mats, blocks, blankets, straps etc you can use (at no extra charge). Jonathan focuses a lot on proper form and correcting you, which is great for a somewhat beginner like me. They also have tea available after class. All in all its a nice place and I recommend checking it out! I am looking forward to trying out other instructors as well.

Great studio space, clean and airy. I have done yoga for many years on and off and I feel that this studio has the right vibe I was looking for, no frills, highly technical and down to earth methology, always with a touch of humor. Really enjoyed discovering Iyengar yoga through classes with Jonathan since this studio opened. Each class has a different focus and style. The Saturday Power Yoga class with Ani is amazing because not only does she make you sweat, she will do hands on adjustments and provide you lavender scented towels during the shivasna. I also love the Alignment class, which taught me how to stretch effectively to relief stress. Come and check this studio out!

I just started trying out their classes last week during their grand opening, and I’ve LOVED every class. I’m a complete novice, but all of the instructors I’ve had so far are great about asking about injuries, helping me get into the correct positions, and making it a fun, but challenging experience. I feel awesome afterwards, and they provide free tea if you have a few minutes after class to sit and relax. Highly recommended. My other classmates have ranged from people in their early 20s to 60s or 70s, and there is no «showing off,» or big egos (like you might see in a gym or other exercise classes). Whole atmosphere is calm, inviting, and encouraging.
One last thing, I knew going in that yoga is a very spiritual experience, but I don’t feel like any certain philosophy, religion, or worldview is being pushed at ALL, which I appreciate. As a Christian, I want to experience the exercise, the calming effects, and the meditation WITHOUT it becoming something contrary to my own beliefs, and I feel like that is easily achieved in this space.

Austin Yoga Tree is an excellent new studio in Northwest Austin. Only studio in North Austin that offers Iyengar Yoga! Must check it out! #Iyengar #Yoga #Austin

I went to the Vinyasa class on Tuesday night and it was perfect. It was my first time there and it was dark and raining, so it took me a minute to find it. I have been practicing various yoga styles for 15 years and have been to several yoga studios in town. The studio has nice big ceilings, the ambience is so perfect and relaxing and everyone is welcoming. I loved every second of my practice there. We used props and I felt very relaxed and euphoric afterwards. I stayed and had tea and chatted with others afterwards. The owners are very friendly, great instructor, and I will definitely go back for more.

We are so excited about Yoga Tree! Went to my first class today and walked out with a membership. The practice was great and the place is warm and inviting. The owners are amazing! They are knowledgable, caring and super friendly. They encourage the community feel which we have been missing. They went above and beyond on the details from titles like, chief friendship officer to offering free tea after class and a library full of yoga books. Highly recommend going to this place!
