At Sangha Studio, we aim to make yoga accessible—we were all new once, too! We’re here to welcome you as you are, and support you to tailor your practice so that it’s just right for you. Many people believe they must already be flexible to start a yoga practice. Not true! All you need is the desire and openness to learn.
What to expect as a beginner
How to choose your first class
We have a wide variety of slow moving, moderately paced, and more physically demanding classes available weekly online via Zoom. You’ve got to start somewhere; here are our favorite entry points!
For complete beginners to yoga, we recommend any classes marked in their description as “beginners encouraged”, including: Gentle Yoga, Slow Flow & Yin and 30-minute Flow. These classes move at a slower pace and allow a little more time and freedom to figure things out. Livestream Yoga can be especially helpful if you're new to yoga because it gives you the space to observe the teacher without feeling like you need to keep up with class or do exactly what other students are doing, while also allowing for an opportunity to connect with the teacher before or after class if you have questions.
If you’re looking for something more active and don’t mind moving quickly, Flow and Strength classes might be a good fit. Regardless of the style of class you're looking for, you'll find all of our class descriptions here. We also occasionally offer Yoga for Beginners workshops and series, which you will find listed here as available.
Can’t make it to those specific class styles? Don’t be shy to come try another class that suits your availability and interest. Know that you can always take your practice at your own pace, find variations of poses that work for you, and take breaks when you want. If you’re a complete beginner, we recommend avoiding Flow II, Power Flow, or Core Flow as your first class, because they will move at a faster pace and assume participants know common yoga poses and principles.

"On my very first class I felt how much love Sangha has within its community of yogis. Every time I walk through the door I feel so welcomed and the studio has shown me compassion, dedication and helped me love and nourish my mind and body from the inside out. I'm so thankful to be apart Sangha!" – Jazmine R |

Sangha Studio is a place to practice, to give, to receive, to love, to reflect, to do good, to do well, and to simply be. The most welcoming, forgiving, inspiring group of people in all the land. Can't recommend it enough for any yogi or yogini who is seeking community, refuge, grounding, and growth.

Love both the North and Pine st. Locations! Warm, welcoming atmosphere, lovely teachers, and the community classes are a wonderful thing to offer that not many places do. Plus the donation based fees make classes affordable for anyone!

The atmosphere at Sangha Studio is incredible. Each teacher has something unique to teach, while all sharing the ability to make every participant feel engaged, welcomed, and motivated. I went with a friend to my first yoga class (ever) at Sangha Studio and knew immediately this was a community I wanted to be a part of.
