Virge is everything you could want in a fitness studio and more. Coming from only doing solo workouts, they welcomed me in with open arms and I felt like I’d finally found the fitness community I’ve always been looking for. Top that off with challenging yet fun classes and I’m having more fun than ever exercising! 10/10 can’t recommend them enough!! Oh and did I mention all the fun community events, giveaways, and reasonably priced membership? Run, don’t walk to Virge.

Virge has quickly become a second home to me. In addition the truly incredible and intentional teachers cultivating creative, challenging and healing yoga, what I love most about Virge is its spirit of inclusivity. It truly feels like a space for everyone. It’s a true community-centered place in the heart of downtown Durham.

I absolute love going to Virge! I was introduced by a friend and haven’t looked back. Jodi and her whole team are extremely welcoming and have made me feel comfortable and at home. I love the Sculpt classes, which are a tough mix of yoga, cardio and strength training - especially the Wednesday Broga class, which draws a few more of us guys in! The studio is very nice, they rent out high quality mats, the lighting makes for a great aesthetic, and hey I love the after class lavender towels 😊 The pricing is also very reasonable given the prime downtown location. Very highly recommended!

This place is AMAZING!! When I started coming I was a little nervous because I had never really done yoga, much less hot yoga… but it wasn’t long before it became my favorite part of the day. It’s the perfect place to elevate your exercise routine with a range of class styles, plus it adds a lovely moment to be mindful in everyone’s busy lives. They really do provide a 10/10 experience here, from giving you a cool towel after class to remembering your name every time you come in. All of the instructors are so welcoming and encouraging—I’ve even befriended most of them! If that wasn’t enough, the lovely owner, Jodi Myers, is around almost every day. She is a ray of sunshine and always wants to make sure that you have the best experience. Definitely give Virge a try, you’ll fall in love.

I had the loveliest experience today at Virge Yoga's free program, Pilates in the Park! Melissa was such an excellent leader and truly inspired us to correctly perform the gentle yet effective movements. It was a delightful way to get more fit, under the shady trees and blue skies. I’ll definitely attend again!

The classes are great, and all the staff are kind and friendly! The classes are accessible to different skill levels, even a total yoga newbie like me. The gentle and signature classes have a very relaxing atmosphere, and the sculpt classes are good workouts! Haven’t tried the power class but plan to soon, and I’m sure it’ll be great, too!

I cannot say enough good things about Virge! Every instructor I’ve taken a class with has been welcoming, well-trained, and positive. The studio is new and exceptionally clean. The smoothies are delicious. I had never done hot yoga before joining Virge, but it’s quickly become my favorite activity!

As I get close to my 1-year mark at Virge Yoga, I wanted to take a moment to reflect and share a little more about my journey.
When I first started at Virge, my goal was simple: take more challenging classes and get in shape. But what I found was so much more. Every instructor has their own unique style, and through their classes, I learned to connect with my breath, to really listen to my body, and that true growth begins right at the edge of your comfort zone.
Yoga has been such a big part of my personal growth, so when Virge announced the Inaugural Yoga Teacher Training, it was a no-brainer, I signed up immediately. I wanted to deepen my practice beyond the physical postures and find ways to pay it forward. That training was such an incredible experience, and I’m so grateful to Jodi, Lori, and all my Omies for their guidance, support, and encouragement along the way.
Now, as an instructor at Virge, I love sharing what I’ve learned and watching the growth of every person who steps onto their mat. And as a new teacher, I can’t say enough about how supportive and encouraging the Virge team has been, always ready to help and cheer you on as you grow.
Virge isn’t just a yoga studio; it’s a special part of the Durham community. It’s inclusive, welcoming, and offers something for everyone. If I could give Virge Yoga 100 stars, I would. Come take a class — you’ll see exactly why this place feels like home.

From the welcoming vibe to the thoughtful playlists and intentional cues, this studio delivers on every level. The Power Vinyasa are my personal favorite. These classes are strong, energizing, and rooted in breath—led by instructors who truly care about your growth on and off the mat. Virge Yoga creates a space that feels both powerful and personal, where you’re not just taking a class, you’re joining a community. Highly recommend to anyone looking to deepen their practice in a supportive, uplifting environment.

I do not believe this studio should be considered a yoga studio. I come from a Dharma, Baptiste and Ashtanga practice with emphasis on pranayama for anyone reading. It is a great workout, but it is more like an aerobic workout with different color changing lights and loud music. They do run through "flows," but they are not based off of a traditional practice. The teachers call "Chaturangas" "pushups." There are no sun salutations, warrior series or balancing postures. If you are looking for Pilates, aerobics, or HITT you will take a liking to Virge. If you are interested in a traditional and challenging yoga class, you will not.

Virge Yoga was the best thing we’ve done while living in Durham! The classes were challenging and helped us feel so much healthier and stronger. The unlimited subscription was 100% worth the money.

This studio is absolutely locked in. It's really the sense of community and culture they've built that makes this place stand out from your normal "show-up-do-yoga-leave" studio. They're inclusive in all ways, have such cool studio lighting, and they've thought out every experience (i.e., drop a drink order in before class, it's ready for you after class. Cold towels that smell great at the end of each hot class. Stocked showers for use when you need them.). Awesome, friendly staff that make you feel at home, and programming that goes beyond their core class offerings that keep things exciting and bring us together.

I just love this studio and the instructors so much. While each flow class has the same underlying structure, the instructors make it their own with the music selection, sequence, and overall tone. Overall, the classes are rigorous, but never with a 'competitive' vibe or in a way that risks physical injury - and they offer a variety of types too. The staff and community are incredibly warm and welcoming, the parking situation is convenient, and the facilities are always clean and well-kept. Really can't say enough good things about this very special place.

absolutely love love love & recommend this studio! i've tried several studios over the years and never stuck with it consistently until joining Virge. they have a magic combination of wonderful instructors & great community building that makes it a genuine pleasure to come to class (even? especially? when Lori is about to make you do a zillion squats in Sculpt). plus the smoothies are delicious & your classmates will take cute twinning pics with you. starting your Monday night with a Sculpt class then straight into a Gentle Vinyasa class & grabbing a smoothie on the way out is perfection (order between classes for it to be waiting on the bar as you exit) :)

After taking a break from yoga, I was in search of a new studio that would be close to home and have a variety of class times available. Virge Yoga checked all the boxes and more! I was a little intimidated getting back into the swing of things, but every instructor and interaction I had at the studio was warm and welcoming. There’s different types of classes, but the instructors always offer modifications for students at all levels which I truly appreciate. If you’re in search of yoga or a warm community, don’t be intimidated and check Virge yoga out! You’ll love it!

Update:
I have never done this but…
This is actually my second time writing a review for this studio-because after a full year of going, I can feel the difference in my body, mind, and heart. I feel stronger, more grounded, and more connected to myself because of this place.
Every instructor brings their own strength and energy to class, always pushing you in the best way while reminding you to listen to your body and do what feels right. It's empowering and supportive all at once. The class variety keeps things fresh (shoutout to sculpt, power, mat Pilates, gentle and vinyasa flow-yes, I've tried them all!). And don't even get me started on the themed classes--think curated playlists that make you smile, dance a little, and forget for a second that you're dripping sweat in the middle of a seriously challenging workout. It's fun, playful, and still totally focused-such a unique balance.
What really makes this place special, though, is the community. It's clear they're rooted in Durham and celebrate it with intention-and everyone, truly everyone, is welcome here.The space itself feels like a second home tucked right into downtown. Whether you're just getting started or deep into your practice, all ages and levels will find something to love here
Old review:
What I love about Virge is the variety of clases they offer-I can focus on grounding, balance, flexibility, mobility, strength, and stamina all in one place! Virge is also unique in that it’s a place that prioritizes community. You can show up to work out and you can stay and make friends and connections and share joy. I always feel great after a workout with these amazing folks.
I’m so happy Virge is here and I look forward to what will be offered at the new location coming soon!

Virge yoga is that girl! A clean studio with many classes to choose from. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. They offer an app for booking classes which is so nice for a smaller studio. Virge also has many classes outside the studio at places like the farmers market or on a roof top around town. There is a smoothie bar and all mat rentals are liforme mats which is a huge plus. Classes end with cool towels and there is no fee to “rent” towels as I’ve seen at other studios. I love Virge and the community they create.

After trying out several studios in the area, I found Virge — the truly perfect studio :,) you can pre-order a smoothie, facilities are super clean, the class options are amazing, and the staff is truly so kind. The studio truly makes everyone feel welcome and all the staff makes a point to introduce themselves to you and make sure you are all set for class. I feel so good in mine and body every time I go ! A special shout out to McKenzie (sorry if the spelling is off!) in the front who really sets such a good tone when you walk in the door :)

I've been attending Virge Yoga for the past several months, and I can genuinely say it has transformed my practice, my mindset, and my physical health. The instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the success of each member. Other members are friendly, supportive, and invested in developing a strong community. Together, each class has a grounded, inclusive atmosphere that enhances every experience.
The community here at Virge Yoga along with the variety of classes offered make it the only gym you need to ensure your health, both body and mind, are well maintained, enriched, and challenged. It's become part of my daily life, helping me grow physically and mentally. It's inspired me so much that I look forward to joining the staff at Virge Yoga as a teacher later this year after continuing to deepen and expand my practice.
If you're looking for a place that goes beyond the physical poses expected of yoga and truly nurtures your whole self, Virge Yoga is the place for you. I'm so grateful to have found this space and can't wait to continue evolving with this beautiful community that has embraced me.
Highly, highly recommend. Come and join what will quickly become your home away from home.

An absolutely wonderful yoga studio. I used to really not enjoy yoga or get anything out of it, and joining Virge has completely changed the game for me. Signature is a perfect mind-body connective class; Sculpt is perfect to sweat your tail off; Power is a great way to challenge your limits and try new things; and all of the fun, one off themed classes and Pilates add such great variety. Every instructor has their own vibe and energy, and I really enjoy them all. Definitely give Virge Yoga a try if you’re on the fence. It’s changed my life since moving to Durham.

Virge is wonderful and I talk about them to anyone that will listen (so much so that it has probably become annoying to those closest to me). I'm so glad I found them because it is the best part of my day!
They offer heated and non-heated options. I love that each class feels different because they encourage instructors to infuse their own teaching style in to the class. This means that you can really pick something based on how you are feeling, what your body is up to, etc. They also have set signature classes with flows to rely on that don't change and gentle for class that is not as intense. I never feel rushed out of class, and doubling up (taking two classes) is encouraged too.
My favorite part is the community aspect. Everyone in class is genuinely so nice and truly makes you feel welcomed. It is inclusive from when you enter the building, through class (you could lay down the entire time and no one would bat an eye), to the events they hold.
If you're looking for a new studio or getting into yoga for the first time- I would absolutely recommend checking out Virge :)
**Edited to include they will validate your parking and it is extremely easy to find/locate!

After moving to Durham, I needed to find a yoga studio. I was hesitant to join Virge Yoga studio since most of the classes were hot yoga classes. I gave it a shot and now I am hooked on hot yoga. I watched my body transform to a toned and glowing body. My inflammation is all gone and I feel great. More than my health improvements is the staff at Virge Yoga. They are all super friendly and make everyone feel welcome. They celebrate member’s’ birthdays, completing 50 flows and completing 100 flows.

After 5 years away from yoga due to injury, I have so enjoyed coming back to it at Virge! I really enjoy the variety of classes, and the playlists, "mood lighting," and heat make for an awesome flow every time! Everyone at Virge is super friendly, and all of the staff remembered and greeted me by name within my first class or two. I also love that there's the option to have a smoothie waiting for you at the end of class, or to sample local beers at "broga."
I took a month to trial all of the offerings at Virge, and after that it was a no brainer to commit to an annual membership. I can't wait to keep coming back for more!

I surprised myself how much I enjoy Virge Yoga classes. I joined about a year ago just to try it out and learn if yoga is for me. It was right next door in downtown Durham. I immediacy got hooked on their Sculpt Yoga classes, now my favorite - a great mix of yoga and strength training with high energy and great music. A wide variety of other classes are also available. I like to take one "real" yoga class a week to hopefully get a little better at Yoga as well. I love the great group of instructors, all truly create an amazing feel of community. I honesty feel very welcome there, even being one of a minority group of guys. Hopefully more will read this review and join! I challenge you! Oh, and the simple and reasonably priced, set and forget, unlimited classes monthly membership is surely the way to go!

I love that each instructor brings their unique style to each class for something different, but the energy is always the same!

Virge Yoga has an energetic and warm community of practitioners. The studio and teachers are very welcoming and people practicing at all levels are welcome. There is a great variety of classes to suit a more athletic style or a more zen practice, and everything in between. Most classes are hot but there are a good number unheated too.

I am so grateful to have found Virge! As someone with less yoga experience, I have wanted to join a yoga studio for a while but found some places to be a bit intimidating. Virge is truly welcoming of all levels, and all of their classes offer enough flexibility for each person to tailor the practice to what they need that day. The instructors are approachable, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in fostering community and personal growth. Would definitely recommend!

Recently moved into the area and also never done yoga before, wanted to try something different - and so glad I did! I would recommend anyone who does running or cycling to add this yoga class to their routine, it will make such a difference. The team are so knowledgeable, so welcoming . And it doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned yogi, or can barely touch your toes -everyone is welcome , you are encouraged to do only what your body tells you it needs to do that day. Can’t recommend Lori and the team enough - if you’re reading this - book the class! You won’t regret it

I joined Virge Yoga soon after it opened and have been very happy with my decision to join the studio! Classes are welcoming, challenging, and fun. I appreciate that the classes are true to the advertised descriptions so I know what I'm going to get in terms of the intensity of the class. Sculpt is one of my favorite classes and is a great mix of yoga and strength training. I also appreciate that the heated classes are hot but not sauna-like, which allows me to enjoy the heated workout but not feel dehydrated and depleted afterward. Highly recommend checking out Virge!

Virge Yoga is a gem. The sense of community, variety of classes, and wonderful staff have been a welcomed experience for someone like me who is newer to Durham and looking for ways to connect with others, and move my body. I am not a yoga person - I prefer cardio - but decided to check out Virge because I was struggling to maintain an exercise routine and just needed something. That something has turned into so much more.
I love the balance of intensity and mindfulness that I experience with their Power and Sculpt classes. The Sculpt classes give me the cardio I crave and the Power classes provide the strengthening I need. Plus, it's done in a heated environment so I leave feeling detoxed and invigorated (shout out to the end-of-class cold towels scented with essential oils!). All of this could stand on its own as a 5-star review, but it's made so much better by the staff.
Everyone is so welcoming and caring. The guidance during class embodies this, with offerings to modify positions and encouragement no matter where you land. And that approach continues outside of class, with smiles and opportunities to connect with others in fun and meaningful ways. Thank you, Virge staff and community, for creating such a lovely space and giving me so much more!

They offer a variety of classes, so there's something for everyone, from beginner to advanced. During each session, students have the freedom to modify poses and breathing to match their individual needs. You are encouraged to listen to your body and progress at your own pace.

I joined Virge after moving to Durham in July 2024 & it has very quickly become my second home.
All of the staff have taken their time to get to really know me & foster such a welcoming community that has eased my move to a new city.
They offer an array of classes suited for beginners as well as advanced yogis looking to deepen their practice with workshops.
The instructors are very knowledgeable experts in their craft and choreograph the most beautiful flows. I am always impressed by them & their creativity.
I also want to mention their community involvement: offering classes & events, WNC outreach after Helene & genuine investment in Durham. They are truly committed to us.
Bonus points for having a well designed app that integrates with my iPhone calendar & makes booking a breeze & cool towels after every class.

When I joined Virge, my hope was that I’d change up my fitness routine a few times a week, maybe become a little more flexible. What I found was a joyful, welcoming community and a reignited love for yoga.
I love the variety of classes Virge offers, which allows me to find a practice wherever my body and mind are on a given day. Every instructor I’ve had is kind and empowering, and leads with a unique style. The classes are open to all levels, and the instructors truly bring that to their practices. Modifications are offered and encouraged, with the gentle reminder that it’s always an option to take a child’s pose, a sip of water, or a seat if needed.
From a post-class beer on Wednesday evenings to mindfulness workshops to free community classes, there’s so many ways to practice and to meet other people. I can honestly say I’ve never been a member at a gym or fitness studio with friendlier attendees.
Since joining Virge, I can tell I’m getting stronger and that my posture is improving. But perhaps the biggest shift is the increase in positivity I feel, even outside of class. It’s a game-changer, and makes me so grateful that I found this space.

I've practiced yoga on and off for about ten years, joined Virge in April, and after 50+ classes with them I can honestly say I'm very glad to have found this studio to regularly practice at.
The studio is currently at the former Durham Yoga Company. Parking is easy to find. There are mirrors on one wall, windows on another. You can pick your spot to see your reflection in the mirror or not. High quality props (Liforme mats for rental), and a wonderfully cool towel infused with essential oil at the end of every class. They have plans to move to the Durham ID building in the near futute.
The classes: currently there are about 2-4 classes every day. Most classes are heated, except for the Gentle classes and one Power class. There's something for everyone here. Gentle classes are, well, gentle, but very well-guided, nourishing, and restorative. Power Yoga is probably the most "advanced" class but there are always reminders to listen to your body, and plenty of modifications offered. Sculpt is more a Yoga meet HIIT style that will definitely give you a workout. Power Yoga with Joan or Jodi,and Sculpt with Lori are my three favorites.
The vibe and community: The owners/ teachers are all super friendly. They organize events fairly frequent both in the studio (Beer sampling after Wednesday sculpt!) and in the community (at the farmers market, after Run Clubs, etc.
Last but not least, and this might be strange, but I feel very comfortable to be myself practicing here. Sometimes in yoga I can struggle with body dysmorphia and be overly critical of my appearance. I don't know why, but I have never really had any such moments here, and that's something I truly appreciate.
This has been such a great addition to the Bull City, and I hope they will stay for a long, long time.

Experience the Magic of Virge Yoga: Exceptional Classes, a Vibrant Community, and Unmatched Studio Experience.
I have been living in Durham for 7 years now, and I am happy to say that I have finally found my home studio! Virge Yoga truly has it all: amazing teachers, warm and joyful studio vibes, a strong sense of community, no judgment, a light-hearted approach to yoga, class diversity, cleanliness, cold essential oil-infused towels for the end of class, great prices, ample free parking, many props, high-quality mat rentals (Liforme), a water fountain, a spacious private bathroom, huge light-capturing windows with views of downtown, and pretty plants… and that’s just off the top of my head.
In terms of the specific classes I have thoroughly enjoyed, I have to start with Joan’s Gentle Vinyasa. It is hands down the best yoga class I’ve been to in Durham. She gives an appropriate amount of helpful cues while leaving space for you to explore the postures. With intelligently crafted sequences and a peaceful yet powerful presence, she teaches in a way that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and supported. As someone with 11 years of practice and 9 years of teaching experience, I can confidently say that the quality of yoga instruction is unparalleled, and despite being a skilled practitioner with over 450 YTT hours, I always learn something new in her classes.
Moving to the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of class rhythm and vigorousness, Sculpt Vinyasa will give you that excitement of doing something new, challenging, and playful. Lori has a really positive and lively energy, and she will keep you motivated and focused! This is the perfect class if you're looking to get an amazing workout in, add more fun to your life, and be challenged in a non-judgmental, safe, and playful environment. The joy in the class is palpable and the sense of community is strong, making you feel like you're part of a collective effort to improve while not taking yourself too seriously. Also, this is a truly all-levels class, offering options ranging from slow and simple movements to high-intensity, fast-paced exercises.
Power Vinyasa is a creative, challenging, focus-inducing, and strength- and stamina-building class. Jodi's class was super fun and stimulating, keeping me on my toes. She makes you feel encouraged and strong, without all the stifling seriousness I have experienced in advanced classes at other studios. I left feeling powerful, rooted, accomplished, and strong. It was the perfect way to start my day!
The studio boasts plenty of workshops and community events. Virge also plays an integral part in my mental health, as well as my physical well-being. I guarantee you will leave feeling refreshed and grounded. I honestly have no complaints. Don’t miss out on this gem—do yourself a favor and book a class today!

Hi everyone! If you are thinking about joining Virge Yoga, do not think about it anymore just do it!!!! Being a full time wife and mom of four kiddos as well as two dogs my life revolves around my family and their needs. Melissa has become a friend of mine and encouraged me to come check out one of her classes at Virge Yoga. Did I mention the your first class is free! I’ve never done yoga and never understood how something like this could be a full body workout, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Yoga was just “weird” to me. Oh, boy was I wrong! I have happily taken that comment back the yoga community is incredibly beautiful. Virge Yoga has been so life-changing for me. My husband and children have noticed a difference in my physical appearance, as well as my energy/vibes. Melissa and Jodi have been incredible women to me and so encouraging. As a stay at home mom when I walk into class I feel empowered and so excited to be there! I can’t think of Melissa and Jodi enough for being amazing instructors not only setting the tone of the environment but really helping me push myself to be a better me! These two women truly rock! It has been a long time since I have felt this confident. I wish I could take a class every day of the week that’s how empowering Virge is. Excited to see where I am mentally and physically months and years from now. Ohhhh and did I mention I LOVE VIRGE YOGA!
